June 2023 Superdraft: Get Your Ship Together 


Pariah

Recommended Posts

The two boys were in their barely teens at best, and it showed. No matter how they pumped their legs, the brutal men howling for their blood were gaining on them!

 

"We're going to die" Said the shorter round faced boy, his accent denoting him of United Kingdom origin.

"Not if we make it to the water" Said his more fit companion in an accent that of a New Yorker, "You ready?"

The round faced boy nodded, and hoped this work, even as he put a bit of plant matter in his mouth. Already he could feel the changes taking root. Gills were forming, "Ready!" he said, sounding anything but.

"NOW!" Said the bolder boy, partaking of no weed. He wouldn't need it.

The two boys leaped off the docks, into the water! One of them plunging in, now with gills and webbed feet and toes allowing him to make a get away. The other boy did not plunge so much as surf along the liquid under his own innate power. Good thing, as the latter really didn't want to get their prize wet, and while it was covered up, immersion might be a bit much!

Behind them, the men cursed as they gave up pursuit.

 

On the ship the two teens called home, Captain Gates saw this, and ordered the vessel to pick them up, "Those kids are going to be the death of me." Then he yelled out "Neville, Percy! I told you two to stay on the ship... we have to find the books..."

 

"But Captain, we got em!" Percy yelled as he closed.

Neville bobbed up and grinned triumphantly "We found the missing books of Sibyline!"

Avast! Captain Blackbeard's path is strewn with pats from the devil's own satanic herd! For option #4 is a rival, an antagonist, a man whose heart is so impossibly black that... it defies description!  No stranger to travel across dimensions, the legendary Captain Hook!

Captain's Log, 12 AC, Day 21

Well, our quest for the Holy Grail was a bust. Honestly, it's just as well. Half the crew doesn't get or appreciate my Monty Python quotes. That said, I stumbled onto something else after nearly being killed. Not only did it heal my injuries, it seems to have cured that cold I was getting. So I took a barrel of the stuff and brought it on board!

 

Egg just goes bug eyed every time he sees it. He and Russel talked, and Russel says to me "Welcome to the club."

 

I need to research more Chinese mythology. I think this water is bigger than I thought.

 

Option: Moon Rabbit Elixir of Life
