LOOT AND HOW IT'S DIVIDED


Lol, loot. We're roleplaying. C'mon. plus it's up to the Captain and the Quartmaster if there really is any loot. I'll come back to this after the roleplay begins, we'll see what happens.

LOCATION OF PLAY

We'll be on the ship located off the Pirate Cove.

You can get there by traveling to the Fremennik Providence and talking with the man on the far west dock. You can just say "I'm going to Pirate's Cove." Or you can travel to The Lunar Isles via Lodestone, and sail to the Cove via the same man.

Sometimes, if we intend to roleplay off ship, we'll most likely meet in the Brimhaven tavern, and participate in some lovely drinking roleplay. We may also visit Port Sarim for docking roleplay, or in the rare chance, participate in roleplay on shore in a town for recruitment drives or other events.

ACCEPTED WEAPONS


Please get permission from either myself or a moderator or your choice of weapon. Now, if I put it on the list, you won't have to ask me, but if it's something a little bit iffy, I'd prefer you run it by me. Just use your own sense of judgment, "Would a pirate find any use in this?"

We mainly accept scimitars as the basic weapon. (I prefer iron.) You're also allowed axes and hammers and daggers. if you have any questions, please run it by me.

For ranged weapons, two hand crossbows are accepted, one handed crossbows are accepted, any form of gun is absolutely allowed ( Except the full Dwarven Cannons, they take up too much room. ) and throwing daggers are fine.

Again, if you're not sure, run it by me. I'm pretty loose about what I allow on my ship. We're just trying to keep the ship practical.

Swashbuckler! Pirate! Privateer! Corsair! Treasure Hunter! We've got plenty of names for what we are. Here are some useful words to know!

Bilge : That dank and musty lowest part of the ship.

Black Spot : This is a note left for someone. It has a black smudge on one side, and a lovely death threat on the other side.

Bowsprit : The furthest front of the ship. The proper place to hand a severed head.

Broadside : This is the larger side of the ship that's most easily hit based on the rate at which our ship is sailing.

Buccaneer : Another term for pirate, but this one usually implies they're heavy drinkers, or fond of pigs.

Careen : To Careen a ship is to take it into shallower waters to remove barnacles and pests.

Come About : To bring the ship full way around in the wind. You'll probably use it while sailing into the wind or during combat.

Corsairs : Another term for pirates, this one either means they're religious or that they will work for money.

Davy Jones' Locker : It basically means death. It's a fictional place under the sea. It got this name because Captain Davy Jones usually sunk every ship he battled rather than keeping it**

**'c's'le : This is the Forecastle or front most part of the ship.

Gunwales : The deck's walls that keep everything from falling overboard.

Jolly Boat : A clever name for a light boat on the ship.

Jury Mast : A temporary mast put up after the first one blew down.

Keel Haul : The fun act of throwing a man overboard! Wait! There's more! He's also tied up, and attached to a larger rope! This isn't even a death sentence! You're then thrown over board, under the boat, and up to the other side, where they'll repeat the process 'til justice is served. During this, you'll expect to scrape against the barnacle covered hull, while being drug underwater.

Landlubber : Not technically shore folk, but people bad at sea life, especially walking on a moving ship.

Letter of Marque : This is a very special note. It's given by the captain, meaning your actions are sanctioned as long as they're towards the designated target.

Long Clothes : Another word for land clothes. Pirates don't have the luxury of wearing loose clothing that might get caught while climbing up rigging.

Mizzen : The stern most mast on a three mast ship.

Pirate : A robber on sea. Not just the generals sense we use it as, but anyone who steals something while at sea.

Poop Deck : The highest part of the ship, it's located above the captain's quarters. It's where our ship's wheel is located.

Privateer : Basically a pirate who's in possession of a "Letter of Marque".

Quarter : Basically "Mercy". When shelter is given by pirates.

Sea Legs : Means you have the ability to walk on a moving ship.

Shiver me Timbers : Basically means you're shocked. Kind of over used, but still pirate slang.

Swing the Lead : This means to swing a rope with lead attached to the bottom to measure depth when near land. This is also considered a simple job, and a phrase for someone who is lollygagging.

Take a Caulk : Basically means take a nap. Caulk lines the ship's boards, so when a sailor naps on deck, he gets black lines on his back.

To Go on Account : A pleasant term that means they're turning pirate, rather than buccaneer or Privateer or such.

*.*******.*******.*****,.

Walk the Plank : The truly dastardly act of forcing a man to walk off the ship, with no hope of being saved by his crew mates. It is the death sentence.

Yard Arm : The arm on the Mast that holds up the sail. It's a vulnerable target in combat, and a lovely place to hang prisoners or enemies.

Yellow Jack : Like any "Jack", or flag, it's used to represent a particular disposition to a ship. It's used to show there's sickness aboard, which is sometimes used in hope of tricking other pirates from being a potential target.

I hope you liked the list! There are plenty more terms, and I hope to hear some from you during roleplay!

PIRATE COUNCIL


In the case of a capital offense amongst out sailors, a court case will be tried and heard by his peers, led by the honorable Quartermaster. Once a pirate is convicted, he will be tied, and left in the cell at the bottom of the ship. After decisions are made among the upper tier, court will be held. The crime conviction and evidence will be shown, and then the defendant will be given a chance to state their plea to a jury of his peers, made up of an odd number of sailors. After the jury deliberates and discusses the matter, they will return with a notion for guilty or innocent. If innocent, the defendant is let free, if guilty, then the court will vote for the punishment.

"Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog,
It's all for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.
Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots,
They're all gone for beer and tobacco.
For the heels they are worn out and the toes are kicked about
And the soles are looking out for better weather.
Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog,
It's all for me beer and tobacco.
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin,
Far across the western ocean I must wander.
Where is me shirt, me noggin', noggin' shirt,
It's all gone for beer and tobacco,
For the collar is all worn, and the sleeves they are all torn,
And the tail is looking out for better weather"
