It was calm day on the sea of Blood, the pirate cove was on the horizon. A full load of booty in the hold, rum kegs full and two wenches liberated from those low down traders in that run down ship two days past, but we do thank them for their rum and a keg of Bugmans XXXXX.
As the cove was half over on the horizon the outter banks were coming into view..."Tally Ho!!!, ship run aground on the banks, smoke and fire." Well more loot to be had or some fellow pirates meeting a grim end.
As the Bucs get closer they see the banner of the Booty Pirates, half burned and full of grapeshot. Looks like a grizzly end.
We drop anchor and head ashore. Half the lasses are laid out. Half naked, a huge blood bowl fight, maybe 2, had been had. We see a few of the booty crew have gone to meet davey jones in person, never a good thing.
As we wade on shore out of a lee-to under a scraggled coconut tree comes coach Calcium, his britches all tore up, his jerkin torn to rags. He must have a weeks worth of growth on his beard. "Not well met Calcium" I yell at him as he swaggers across the beach. "Nay, it is not so today but we are glad to finally run across some firendly faces on this beach." As the two coaches sit down I throw a few jars of Rum and some grub for the Booty gals. Obviously the gift is well recieved.
After a few swigs of the rum Calcium eyes me with a cold stare. "So whats the price to get us off this Sigmar forsaken beach and get my ship back up and running and get the ladies back to port?" Well I thought about it for a few swigs of my rum, decided to play this one straight up, no point kicking a captain when he is down. "Well standard fare Calcium, 50% of your next 4 matches or 100,000 GC when we make port and you are back on your feet. Dont give me that smile about those new fandangled spiralling expenses crap, a straight cut before your cost." Calcium gave a loud laugh at that one."You think I will have to worry about spiraling expenses after those
undead scumm ripped my gals apart and that
ogre team, who came ashore looking to beat us when we were undermanned, sent two of my lasses to the saw bones, never to play again? Ok the bargain is done. I dont like to owe anybody anything, I will have to dip into my personeal stash and pay you at the pub when we get back to pirates cove, 100,000 crown."
PainState and Calcium both pull back their rum flasks and seal the deal. The rest of the day the two crews get to work and shore up the Booty Girls ship and next day under tow they make it back to the cove.
As the Buccaneers were heading back out to sea the Booty Pirates were still in recovery mode and trying to piece their ship and team back together. It might be some time at the cove but they will once again get their ship righted and back out to the open sea looking for adventure on the blood bowl pitches.
Good luck Booty Pirates, our ships will cross path once more Iam sure.
