Pirate World Boss Quest (Turn 2): Finish off the Man 'o War! (+ new test rule)
Objective: HMS Boaty McCannonmonger be dead in the water. Finish her off!
Betwixt the incapacitation of Captain Smith (via a massive wedgie), and the loss much of her crew and sails, HMS Boaty McCannonmonger’s remainin’ crew will need time to re-man positions, pump water from the hull, and try to patch up the damage to even get the gargantuan vessel movin’ again, let alone fight.
As fer now, the boss is completely dead in the water, cannot attack, and runnin’ on nothin’ but the misplaced morale of the limey sailors left aboard.
This be the perfect time fer boardin’ parties and swashbucklin’, but how ye want to tackle this issue is y’er prerogative. Just be mindful of y’er allies! Hopefully ye scurvy dogs can finish off this threat once and fer all. I already hear there be multiple claims to the actual vessel as well. That’ll be fun ta watch.
HOW TO PLAY IN 3 EASY STEPS
- Make a post and describe y’er action fer the turn (e.g., attack, tactics, etc). Post it in the Pirate World community page by either using “hive-197918” AS Y’ER FIRST TAG! or at (https://beta.steemit.com/created/hive-197918).
- One action per player (per turn). The post doesn’t have ta be long, just say what y’er doin’ and tag to roll the @piratedice.
- This turn will last 3 days.
*SIDENOTES
- Posts not using the right hive tag may be missed or disregarrrd’d. Tag @reverendrum fer backup visibility.

QUEST LOG</3>
- The crew of Royal Fortune climb aboard the Man o' War but alert a lookout. Cap'n @drlobes had yet ta determine how to handle the situation.
- Iron Storm's sirens to try and befriend HMS Boaty McCannonmonger's Captain Smith to hand over command of his ship to Cap'n @the.partisan.spy, but do too good of a job. Captain Smith lunges into The Deep and drowns, failin' to ever reach the sirens' alluring song.
Looks like there be many preemptive claims to the huge ship. This might get interestin' later...
Turn 2 is now over. All further actions, either by post or comment will be lost to Davy Jones' Locker.
I'll need a day or two to figure things out.
(Pirate logistics be arrrduous, as ye all know by now.)
With all me men lurking in the water, I give the ready sin to attack all at the same time. Still kepping the noise down, only the sound of metal hooks graping onto the side of the boat can be heard then we use the rope laders to board. Lets see what we find at the top @piratedice
Ye throw the old knuckle bones and roll a 6
@piratedice, rep 33 , skull and crossbones!
this must be a secret society!!!! :P
Ye throw the old knuckle bones and roll a 3
Roll another 3 @piratedice
Ye throw the old knuckle bones and roll a 9
3x3
Y'er boardin' hooks connect successfully to the massive boat and y'er men climb aboard. A passin' lookout barely misses y'er party as they climb onboard.
Sailor Pete's peg leg slams on the deck as he hops on board. The lookout hears the "CLOP" sound and turns around, shocked to see y'er entire crew. He turns to run and alert the crew.
What do ye do, @drlobes?
crafting my next move soon, will do the post move prolly tommorow
No rush. We have a few days on the clock. Not like that boss be movin' any closer to Deadman's Bay while it has no sails, captain, and barely a crew...
Ye throw the old knuckle bones and roll a 3
Ye throw the old knuckle bones and roll a 5
Enemy sailor morale seems ta be droppin'!
Ye throw the old knuckle bones and roll a 2
I will send my 2 mermaids to sing and enchant this dirty captain to offer me his ship as a sign of good faith and friendship! AaArRrggGg... #piratedice
@piratedice
Ye throw the old knuckle bones and roll a 9
Nice roll @the.partisan.spy!
Y'er sirens enchant the captain, but not in the way ye expected. Instead of willin'ly offerin' up his ship, Captain Smithm enchanted by the sirens' alluring song, dives overboard and drowns.
Fair enough @reverendrum, I rolled a # instead of a @.
If I had rolled correctly and got a 9, that ship would have been mine! :)
Who says it can't be y'ers? As far as I can see, ye also laid claim to the magnificent vessel (amongst a few others). We'll figure that out later.
In the meantime, ye killed the limey captain, the crew morale is basically gone.
@piratedice
how many sake shots?
Ye throw the old knuckle bones and roll a 10
Too bad @piratedice is only a d10
Ye throw the old knuckle bones and roll a 5
Ye throw the old knuckle bones and roll a 6
Ye throw the old knuckle bones and roll a 5

Hello dear reverend, this is a message for Rum,
I hope this contact point does not seem dumb...
but my control of block magic is not perfect by far,
CHARacter wIZARD controls only ECO in STAR.
I have a new spell, my biggest one yet,
and though I know we haven't yet formally met,
I summoned you into a boat sailing at sea
Somehow I feel like you must be linked with me!
It's putting together, I've just got it cast
but soon the @rhymebot will be here to last.
I wanted to ask you, in your pirate world here -
Do you see many rhymes? Is there something to hear?
Ahoy @ecoinstar, I hope all is well,
I read your poem, and it made me think, well...
Us pirates be prone to rhyming indeed,
Without them it'd make for bad sea shanties.
We be lookin' forward to @rhymebot, me friend,
Not sure what it be, but I be excited.
Maybe more pirates will adhere to this trend
of prose and song and jigs, I'm delighted.
Keep This Freebooter in the loop if ye don't mind,
I'm sure that in Pirate World there's something y'er'll find,
Whether booty, or wenches, or questing, or more,
I can promise in this World y'er'll never be bored.
@rhymebot is live, and it now follows you,
He is an automated ally, programmed to be true.
I ask then that the responsibility rest on you Reverend.
Any abuse and the alliance shall at my discretion end.
Its purpose is comments, not sure if posts would yet work...
the truth is, its beta, and its possible it might bork
sometimes, but visible the results should be
Rhymebot will vote on the comment above, heirarchically.
It has 1000 BATTLE and near 6k CCC
that's creative coin, use the tag appropriately.
I asked them once if creativity had a definition:
the curators decide, was their proposition
So work this block magic against any pirate foes,
writing creatively remedies a cornocopia of woes.
After beta testing we will search for delegation by tribes.
and pay curation rewards full of rhyme-y curation vibes.
I am sitting out on claming this ship, I am very picky about types of wood used
You know how I am about wood
I tend to like a bit more exotic ship designs but whomever wins it gets a barrel of my rum
Oh I know how ye be about wood, and Rum.
I'm lookin' forward to seein' who actually gets the ship.
