Scenario: Dread Pirate Drake
Participants: Justice (4)
Initial Bid: 1 Coin
Mission 1: Set Sail
Difficulty: * (Trivial)
Joanne, Anubis, Hunter, and Orus arrive at the docks to find the rest of the crew already hard at working getting the ship ready to ship out. There's a snake-lady, a bunny-girl (the hoppy kind, not the fishnet kind), a wolf-man, a hawk-woman, and even a totally human-looking dude - talk about exotic - all wearing matching red bandanas.
And, of course, the captain. Captain Rosalin, the Bloody Rose... It's quite an honor to have been allowed to join her crew. She's a mountain of a woman, dressed neck-to-toe in vibrant crimson with the same matching bandana underneath an oversized black hat. She's standing with one foot on the ship's railing, barking orders at the others. When she sees the new recruits approaching, she jerks a finger in their direction. "You lot! Git a move on, ya layabouts! A nasty storm's a-brewin', an' if we ain't set out in the next few minutes, I guarantee we'll be stuck 'ere 'til the end o' the bloody season!"
"Get that cargo stowed b'lowdecks!" she points to a dozen large crates on the edge of the dock. They'll need to be hauled up the gangplank, down the hatch, and secured. "Hoist the mainsail!" She points to the main mast. A huge, heavy canvas is attached to a pulley system; the snake-lady's getting it ready to pull up. "And fer Naga's sake, someone swab the poopdeck! Blasted seagulls've been makin' it live up t' the name, and last thing we need's someone trippin' and hurtin' 'emselves!" She points to a bucket and mop sitting on topmost deck. "And don't ferget to put on yer bandanas!"

The group changes into their pirate outfits. Except for Joanne as she has no need. She always wear her piratey clothes.
Orus inspects himself carefully in the new clothes "Hmm. This would not make good armor in battle. Good thing we've got our auras, but these pirates probably won't survive much..."
Anubis seems like he misses his jackal hood. "..."
Hunter looks like he's screaming on the inside. "The bandanna won't fit on my head...I'll just tie it around one of my horns...I hope this doesn't attract any attention..."
"Alright! Let's get to work so we can set sail! Come on, guys, pick up a crate." Joanne lifts one of the crates, but Orus watches a moment.
"It might be more effective to work as a team, passing the crate from one to another."
"Huh, you're right. Lets do that!"
The group will work together, passing the crates along a line to move them.

The hunter-pirates begin forming a line and passing the cargo along. The rest of the crew see what's going on and join in. They have to pile the cargo by the hatch and move the line, but they get all 12 boxes secured in record time.
"Ah, now y' be thinkin' like pirates, hunters!" the captain says. The snake lady waves that the sail is ready. The captain grins. "Now hoist th' mainsail! An' don't fergit t' clean th' poopdeck! If'n there's one thing us pirates care about, it's workplace safety."
There's a subtle change on the wind. A storm really is coming, but it's going to be a while yet.

Joanne and Orus attempt to hoist the sail. It's much, much heavier than it looks, but they finally manage to get in up and tied into place.
Hunter and Anubis begin mopping. It takes quite some time to scrub the filth from the deck. Fortunately, they'd managed to save quite a bit of time loading the cargo.
The first few stormclouds are just becoming visible on the horizon when they finish.
"Ah, there w' go! No time t' waste! Weigh anchor! We make fer Dragon Island!"

Rosalin lines the new recruits up. "Alright,
rookies. I know yer super-awesome badasses on the land, but fightin' on the sea's a might different! Some o' the best marksmen in the world can't hit th' broad side of a barn without their sea legs! So time ta make sure ya ain't all a buncha land-lubbin' scrubs!"
She whistles and the rest of the crew jumps to work. Several of them toss buoys into the water, marked with large bulls-eyes. Someone wheels a cannon out onto the deck along with a few smoothbore rifles and bows. The rabbit-girl darts around, hiding a few targets around the ship. The hawk-lady transforms and flies out over the ocean with another target on a rope. It swings back and forth unpredictably, and she brings it out to a decent range.
"Only rule's ta break them all as quick 's ya can! I'll give you lot... 5 minutes!"
Time remaining: 5 minutes
Buoy targets remaining: 10
Hawk target: 1
Ship targets: 6 visible (forecastle, bottom of crow's nest, poop deck, grand cabin door, 1 being carried by the wolf-man, 1 being carried by the rabbit-girl)

Joanne will harpoon hookshot up to the crows nest, smashing the target in the process. Then while up there, she'll fire at a couple floating targets with her gun.
Orus is going to fire an arrow at the hawk target and control it to hit.
Anubis will smash the targets on the deck and fore with his axe.
Hunter will grab onto Joanne and have her toss him in the air when she reaches the crows nest with the momentum of her hookshot. He'll then use his gauntlets and boots to fire multiple blades. One at the cabin door target, one at the wolfman target, one at the rabbit target, one at a buoy target, and the last one also at a buoy target.

Hunter grabs Joanne. Joanne shoots a hookshot through the crow's nest target, shattering it as she rockets upwards. Joanne flips into the crow's nest while Hunter continues into the air and fires several blades. He nails the one by the cabin door, and buoy. The wolfman yelps in surprise as the one he's holding explodes. The rabbit girl giggles as she cartwheels out of the way, protecting her target. Joanne takes aim and starts shooting at the buoys.
Anubis heads to the forecastle and smashes one target, then fires a shot at the poop deck on the far end of the boat. The target explodes. He notices a rope dangling off the ship's figurehead, hiding a small target in front of the ship.
Hunter aims an arrow at the hawk's target. She tries to swing it out of the way, but he controls the arrow to hit it.
"Hm. Efficient," the captain says. "Guess 5 minutes was too generous. Let's make it 2, instead."
Buoy targets remaining: 4
Ship targets: 2 visible (rabbit girl, figurehead)

Hunter will try to hit the girl's target once more, but when she jumps out of the way, Orus will trip her with a wind blast and hit the target with his arrow. Joanne will use her current position to search for any other targets and swing around on the ship with her harpoon hookshot. Anubis will smash the figurehead target with his axe.

Hunter takes another shot at the bunny girl. She hops back out of the way, then shrieks when a gust of wind knocks her feet out from under her. Orus' arrow shatters her target. "Awwww," she whines.
Joanne goes on a scouting run, swinging around like a lunatic. She notices a target hidden on the captain's back!
Anubis smashes the figurehead target.
Buoy targets remaining: 4
Ship targets: 1 visible (captain)

Let's finish this! All Out Attack! Wait, wrong game...?
Joanne will quickly fire a shot at the captain's target. Orus will launch a few arrows at the buoys and Hunter will help him clean up the rest. Anubis will stay at the ready, preparing to launch a missile at the captain's target if she dodges.

Joanne takes a shot at the target on the captain's back. The captain doesn't even flinch as it breaks. Hunter and Orus take out the last few buoys. Anubis doesn't have anything to do in the end.
"One left," the captain says. "Ya got... a minute an' a half t' find it."

Welp, let's split up and search. I don't think we've got any special abilities in helping us look.

The hunter-pirates split up and begin searching. There's no sign of it around the outside of the ship, in the riggings, being held by any crew, on the railing, in the crow's nest... They start to go in the captain's room to check. "It's on the deck," the captain says. "Ya got one minute left. Suppose I'll give ya a hint... Fer all yer fancy toys, sometimes the ol' classic tools're the best."
