The Pirates of Miss Fortune

---

Sailing across the seas, Miss Fortune and her pirate crew will search for adventure, gold, and their personal treasures in sea caves, coastal towns, and underwater cities.

Our Ship:

Miss Fortune

Miss Fortune

Description: Miss Fortune is a sloop--fast, highly maneuverable, and with a shallow hull to easily sail over shoals. She is made of dark wood with a metal reinforced hull.
Size: 70 ft long, 20 ft wide.
Mast: Single, headsail and large, triangular mainsail. On the mast are rune enchantments to produce wind when the wind blowing across the waters is insufficient. Atop the mast is the crow's nest.
Top Deck: At the front and at the rear, Miss Fortune boasts a harpoon cannon which can be used to damage and trap vessels.
Below Deck: Below deck of Miss Fortune is divided between sleeping, living, and galley space toward the back of the ship and storage space for cargo and treasure toward the front of the ship.
Figure Head: Damaged goddess of Fortune, "Fortana", whose arms were once outspread to gather the world's fortunes unto herself.

History: In a previous life, and under another name, Miss Fortune was one small ship among many, larger ships in a wealthy merchant's fleet. When hijacked by pirates, she was abandoned. Her former captain, Captain Bitters, was able to use her speed and agility to out maneuver countless ships and grow his crew's coffers immensely before he retired from piracy, purchasing a smaller ship with which to sell sailing tours.

She'd had the goddess of Fortune commissioned as her figurehead and installed the day before her grand unveiling, but at some point a clumsy crewman had knocked off a bit of her, ah, divinity, and she'd been 'Miss Fortune' ever since.

Special Attributes: wind producing rune enchantments, harpoon cannons, damaged figure head

Good stuff! I was wondering whether you'd abandoned ship, but I'm glad to see we're finally ready to set sail! :D

@Red Wizard, not yet! :D sorry it's taken me so long to *actually* get it open. 😬

[Red Wizard]

@Lu Cool! I'm thinking maybe you should tag the users from the Int Check, so they'll get that little ping and see that the game is on. Ut's not uncommon for people to play many games at once here, and they sometimes need to be reminded.

@Red Wizard, thanks for the tip!

It's been longer than I thought since I checked back in, my bad on that one! Thanks for the tags and heads up, I'll be getting my intro up tomorrow if I don't get to it today. Weekends can be a little busy for me, so I don't want to promise today and not deliver.

[Red Wizard]

@illirica Nice post! I have a request, however; could you have Beorgric referred to as Blackbeard in your post? My idea is that he hasn't given his real name to the crew, given the potential weight it could carry. On the ship he's just known as Blackbeard (or "the dwarf", since he probably is the only one).

@Red Wizard
Oh, I'm so sorry! My mistake, I will edit that right away.

[Red Wizard]

Working on a post! Due tonight or tomorrow 🙂

Hey, all!

I'm giving everyone I'm currently role-playing with a heads up that my posts may become somewhat erratic for the near future due to personal shit. I'm still bopping around and will do my best to post as I find time and precious motivation.

Thanks for understanding!

[Red Wizard]

Still working on it. Got a little baby boy back home that needs a lot of attention, though.

@Lu No probs! Real life's more important, and I hope everything's OK. Just keep us up to date :)
