>You're in a good position to help your dueling buddy.
Better position he is to help anyway. As much as I'd love to jump ship, I guess I can't really leave him behind.
>Stock up on water, then prepare to use it.
Right. Once inside, it's going to be a lot harder to get a refill for my sword.
Marsh: "Don't think jumping ship and swimming to shore is going to be an option, so it looks like I'm stuck cleaning up your own mess Captain."
Captain: "Not like you've got much choice anyway land legs."
Marsh: "Yeah don't remind me. So tell me pipsqueak, what's the opposition's goal here? What are they after?"
Pipsqueak: "They're part of Valteste. They're hijacking and looting the ship in the name of Prince Halmen. I believe I heard they're also out for you Marsh?"
Probably after this sword more than me.
Captain: "To think I've been housing that flea-bag's troops."
Marsh: "Swallow your pride and cry about it later, if they're looting this ship we need to act fast then. Since someone deals in magic items and guns here, these royal jerks are going to take the only advantage we have over them. They'll outnumber and over power us if they get into your stock."
I talk with the captain and make a quick mental map of what's around us on this floor.
Points one are just restrooms. Only noteworthy as possible water refill areas.
Point two is a utility closest. Being a ship, there's more than just cleaning supplies hiding in there. Flare guns, matches, survival stuff kept in there.
Point three is a machining and repair shop.
Point four is an infirmary-medbay kinda area.
Point five is their dining hall and kitchen area. No door away in the main area, but the kitchen and pantry is all held behind heavier doors.
Ladder looking things on the east end of the ship go up to the second floor of the ship. That's where the higher up members in the crew stay and the captain's office is at. Ladder going down leads to the lower crew's quarters and 'the birg', probably a ladder going deeper in too.
Marsh: "Where on the ship do you hold the hotter stock captain?"
Captain: "Locked up in the high storage. It's a room close by the ship's control room. Only I 'ave the key though."
Marsh: "That might be true, but if they're up there with enchanted weapons already. How long is that door holding?"
Captain: "Probably awhile, she be military grade. I keep some smaller artillery and ammo locked up in the lower floor of the ship as well."
Should be enough to start making a plan. Where should we head first?
