"Listen up, you whiskey deltas!" A gruffy voice shouted through the intercom. "You're being attacked by the Glossy Brass Pirates! Surrender, and we'll maybe spare your life!"
The two ships gained momentum even with the quick manuever by Lia. Noticing that the ship was going in between the two pirate ships, the ships mobilized thenselves next to the ship as a mean to crush it in between, or create a good enough distance for the men to hop aboard. The bullets that Lia fired to the zeppelin didn't do much either, as the captain's order had the crew deploy a thin brass curtain around the zeppelin to block incoming shots.
With the distance so close, the gunners began pelting the deck with rain of lead so thick one would risk death without taking cover.

"Are you seriously called Glossy? I can´t imagine being called like that" Lia laughed as she pushed the main lever to go faster "Excuse me passengers, but as you can see or imagine, there are two ships almost on our sides, please prepare to some collisions" she said in a calm and almost excited tone
Pressing some buttons, the adventurer changed the turrets weaponry for harpoons. They aimed to both ships and fired to whatever places, be it the zeppelin, the ship itself or a bad luck pirate. The Sky fox went faster as it was going directly at the middle of the pirate ships.

"Better gloss than rust!" The captain heard Lia's snickering remark and grumbled in malice. True to their name, the Glossy Brass pirates had well-polished and well-sharpened weapons. The harpoons did their work, clinging to the ship and halting it from approaching Lia's ship, although no casualties occured.

The Wolf Den (name of Captain Winters' Ship)
As Gale was dozing off, he heard the call of a ship mate from off the deck.
"Captain! Lower the board!"
Gale picked up the boarding plank and set it down.
"Bloody hell, tell me you didn't already get yourselves in trouble, lads!"
"Nay, captain! We were so caught up in the moment we forgot to pick up our shares!"
Gale sat back down as the crew mates got on and took a portion of share. Each one took out a pocket full of money, though it was only a fraction of it all.
"Thanks, captain!" One of the crew mates shouted. "Just remember to pull the boarding plank back up!"
"Yea, yea..."
He pulled it up, but only halfway because he was too drunk to think it was any different. He sat on the chair and tipped to to lean on the edge of the ship. He tipped his hat over his eyes. He began snoring...

Thomas started to feel lead pelting down from the pirate ships. He knew that he had to be quick now, so instead of focusing on the gunners, he directed his cross hair on the captain. "Good, good, stand still..." Thomas muttered as he attempted to get a good aim on the captain, as he said various things about gloss and rust. While keeping the rifle steady, he was about to fire an explosive shot from his secondary pistol, until he was interrupted by searing pain from his injured arm. Quickly, he closed the hatch, and to his luck, he heard the sound of bullets colliding to the hatch he was in earlier. Holding his injured arm, he slowly walked towards pilot's room, while attempting to resist the Sky Fox's shaking.

"Come one loot hunters, you need some time to know each other" Lia taunted as she made her ship goes faster. The Sky fox's thrusters went stronger as the ship pulled the harpoons, the pirate ships were going to be pulled and crash with each other

Oceanside, Ravendale - The Wolf Den
It looked like Kathryn had quite a bit of luck today. Right after she had begun to examine the ship, a few people came over, got on the ship, and left with a pouch of money each. A bit after that, the guard fell asleep too. Things really couldn't have gone better. Not only had the guard fallen asleep, but she had also gotten visual confirmation that there was something interesting aboard the ship. Kathryn still didn't know if there was anything else interesting tough, so she still had to look for it. That was something she had been tough again and again back in her hometown. How would you know that there was something interesting if you didn't look for it. In this case, most likely it would be in a core location of the ship.
After Kathryn was sure that the guard was fast asleep, she begun moving towards the ship. Although Kathrun could have used the boarding plank as it wasn't pulled back properly, she decided she would find a different way aboard. In her opinion, the boarding plank was a bit well head on for her taste. Instead she found a nice landing place, and jumped over the gap, making sure to do a silent landing as well. It wasn't really any difficult task for her as she had often jumped from rooftop to rooftop when she was younger. After she was on the ship, she sneaked over to where the money were, and took a bit as quietly as possible. First she filled her pouch a little, but not too much so it wouldn't be a burden, then she hid a few more coins around her clothes. Especially her boots were a good hiding spot for a few coins.
After she had taken a bit of money, she continued on, deeper into the ship in search of that extra interesting thing.

Jefferson, Skylands Republic (Approaching Central Market)
"Now that I can respect, sir." Miriah chimed in with an upbeat tone of voice. "Exploring the lands and finding new cultures. That. Is a good reason to travel. I myself have always wanted to explore the skies around us and beyond. To go as far the Clockwork City and even beyond. But my line of work has been keeping me within the perimeter of the Skylands. The furtherest I have ever gone is about 15 or so miles east of Wakehold. And that was for special reasons." Miriah explained as she continued her walk with Troy. As Miriah continued to talk, she began to notice a familiar setting emerging in the distance. Before long, Miriah realised as to what they were approaching. The Jefferson central market. If Miriah continued their pace, they would most surely approach the market within the next 5 minutes or so. Of course, the best way to fill up that time was talking. At least, in Miriah's mind, it was. "And a companion, you say? Well, I don't know about you. But seeking a permanent crew or someone to travel with is kind of hard. Let me tell you, I have hopped from crew to crew. Barely have I seen someone twice. It might be my job but sometimes it's hard to really find a good, permanent friend aboard a ship. I dunno. Maybe I'll find someone in the future and maybe you will too. You never know what'll happen." Miriah concluded without a second thought on her opinions. Despite her honest and straightforward ideas, it was obvious to anyone listening that Miriah did fully not understand as to what Troy meant by his words.

Smash through the blocks that bar your way; No time for fear, just let it all fall away; Nobody believes in me and you, Just look at the way they stare; So what if we live in a walled garden, As long as I've got you then I don't care!

Jefferson, Skylands Republic (Approaching Central Market) - ((@TRXD))
Miriah had missed the meaning beyond Troy's words, but she had landed somewhere in the general area of discussion. Companions, no matter how big or how small, were worthwhile to keep around. For the hotblooded, a companion protected you and looked up to you for the same protection. For the brooders, a follower kept your spirits up and tried to waylay any negative thoughts. And for those like Troy, the adventurous or romantics, a companion kept you company and filled you with hope for the long road ahead.
Miriah was young, and she had the whole world as her backyard. Given her line of work, Troy figured the young woman had enough money to fool around a little and explore foreign countries, and if she ever got in a pickle, her skills working on an airship as big as the 'Heisenberg' would prove invaluable to her. Plus the gun holstered on her person would help. Guns always seemed to be the peacekeepers and methods of deterrence around here. A young woman as gung-ho and prepared as Miriah had nothing to fear in her travels.
Choosing to not correct Miriah's hiccup, Troy instead smiled and gave a thoughtful tilt of his head.
"You are bound to find someone who is willing to travel with you, perhaps even travel across the world just to see you. Consider me, if you would. I was willing to travel with you to meet your contact, so that makes me one of possibly several others you'll meet in the future." The monk looked very curious when he noticed the marketplace coming up. Maybe it was all the people, or perhaps it was the merchandise on the horizon. "Have you considered taking on a pet? A loyal dog or a cat?"

"Sir, we're crashing!" A grunt shouted to the captain inside his bunk.
"Get those hooks off the ship!" Another grunt shouted, and the grunts went busy. Instead of having 15 gunners pelting lead into Lia's ship, the number was reduced to 5, giving her and the passengers a breathing room while the pirates were busy getting the harpoons off their ships.

Doc stared at Caitlyn with shock and disbelief. "H... his log? But I thought that thing was gone... destroyed..."
"Well it wasn't. And it is under my custody. But the page showing the location of the treasure is ripped away." Caitlyn brought her chair closer to Doc who chugged down the bottle of alcohol. "Listen, Doc. I need your help."
"Whatever it is, it's a no." Doc grunted. His eyes glanced at Caitlyn, then up at the ceiling, then back at Caitlyn. "I swore to myself never to tangle with his filthy gold ever again."
"If that's the case, I won't ask you to set sail. I just need information: I'll do all the searching." Caitlyn pleaded. Doc sighed, lifted his bottle and shook it to find it empty, sighed again, and fell silent for a few seconds.
"What do you need?" Doc asked sharply.
"I need to know the whereabouts of some of Verdelion's crewmembers-" Caitlyn answered promptly. "Not including Dolkey or you."
Doc chuckled. "Look, Caitlyn. Pirates don't keep in touch with each other. One day they're friends, and another day they could be backstabbing you with grog-soaked blade."
"...although I think I know of one lad..."
"A cabin boy. By the name of Gale. Never knew his full name nor his background, cuz he never opened his heart to us. He was blindfolded during the last voyage so he can't tell you where the treasure is hidden, if that's whay you want to ask him. Neither can any other crewmembers that say they served Verdelion."
"Do you know where this Gale person is now?" Caitlyn questioned. Doc looked out into the tiny window in his room.
"Rumor says he's in Ravendale." Doc said.
"...Thanks, Doc. If you change your mind, just look for me at my office. Also..." Caitlyn rose from her seat, reached into her pocket to drop some gold coins, and left the room. "Go buy yourself some new clothes."
The door closed, leaving Doc alone in his room feeling a lot more complicated about his life.
