Day 1 - Our pirate adventure
On the port of thier hometown the adventurers looked at each other and at the contract thier now retired captain had given them. Thier new captain, Jigar, holding one of the parchments in his one good hand was now glowing and standing proudly on what was his and friends newly acquired ship. Thoughts of future riches now closer to him than ever before!
Watching his new captain and long time friend's expression, Obu, slowly considers his own ambitions. As his lips and mouth starts to water Obu carefully begins to plan out his ships menu. Calculating in his mind the proper space, cost and availability of all the necessary items to fit his galley.
Today will be a day none of them will forget. And that was certainly felt by Rashid. Seeing his crewmates and friends expression, he couldn't help but notice how much excitement he too felt. His whole body clenched, flexing as if building energy. His mind racing, fantasizing about swinging crystal chandaliers, slides across set marble tables and eyes on foreign under skirts and ample bussoms.
Minutes go by as reality sits in and the group begins to discuss shares in the treasure and trades. Starts in gathering supplies and checking sternposts. And ensuring the ship is fit with the proper cordage and crew.
Naturally, Obu's brother Oshi would be coming. His play on swordsmanship on par with his lute could be useful and the ship would need more than three to man. Other allys for the journey are being considered and now as the days sun is to set and the long list of gettables are gotten celebration is in order.
Jagir's ear now ready to be sent on a wild ride down rumor lane. The crew heads to the where the drink is. Surely they'll be told where fame and fortune will be waiting for them. The Grizzly Shark, or the Great Sail is where they can swayed into sailing towards those seductive seas. Out of eye shot of the island and into waters unseen.
The crew meeting the captain there late after finishing thier work, they see Jigar already drunk. The former captain of thier ship and his old crew and townsmen cheering for him! And while songs are sung and the ale is flowing Obu and Rashid join them and the lot of the sully themselves properly on the eve of their adventure!
Then one sentence is shouted out that quiets the tavern! And as the silence after delivers the moment whete everyone waits on the answer from the captain: what will be the name of the ship now?! And while looking down into his mug filled with drink and smelling the pork cooking in the kitchen Jirgar confidently stands up and shouts: The Rhumham!! At that moment the tavern fills with laughter and cheers, as Jirgars friends can't help bust a gut many of the townsfolk cheer him on, roaring out and repeating the new name: Rhumham! Rhumham!! Rhumham!!
For hours they drank and danced and sang.
Classic songs and stories from thier home island being shared amongst each other until the crowd thins and many family folk and retirees calling it a night. And while the crew begins to set off themselves the captain, Jigar, in a drunken slurr declares: a flag! Quickly grabbing a quill and paper at near desk he begins to draw what would be the image of thier respected and feared flag. A pig and crossbones was decided, and as quickly as it was a mascot came to mind. As you could guess it, a pig was was needed. And before they leave port in the morrow to follow tradition.
With the retired Captain's help and some of the remaining men with the crew they all sets off to one of the closer farms. While Obu with a different intention heads to the ship to begin cooking preparations. As he slowly get to the ship the rest of the group makes it to a local farm and begin to quietly eye the muddy sty. Trying to pick the perfect pink pig and hog tie it to bring to the ship. One of the young men who joined up with them from the tavern helps Rashid rangle it and after a short struggle begin to steal the farm's animal and chrisen thier new home, the Rhumham with thier mascot!
Finally returning to thier masted home they meet up with Obu who becomes quickly disappointed that thier plump pink shipmate won't be an early breakfast. Together they decide to build a fenced area for Kevin Bacon, who's name was given by the still sullied Captain Jigar. And with most of the pieces in place they each look on over the deck of the ship. The clouds shimmering with orange yellows. A telling of a new beginning. And as the sun began to break through the horizon so did the first day of The Rhumham and crew's adventure. To be wealthy. To eat luxuriously. And to show boat and fight like no other as Pirates ever did!
