Koah regarded Seth for a moment, tucking her dagger back into her belt. Her pale blue eyes narrowed for a moment, but to her surprise, she found her bad temper and foul mood disappearing rapidly at the prospect of setting out to sea once again. She flashed a smile at Seth. "Fair enough, mate."

One of the other men that had been involved with the scuffle tucked his pistol into his sash. "I suggest we stop standing here chattin' like a bunch of squiffies and get to settin' sail."

Koah snorted. "Squiffies? Speak for yerself, mate. Will somebody untie this tub?" she called before scaling the rigging expertly to help the man with the main sail. Perching herself atop the mast, she let the sail unravel from it's bonds and grinned. Finally!
Stop blowing holes in my ship!

Sean poked his head out from under a pile of soldiers and immediately began retrieving his daggers. “Aye, cap’ness, we’ll be off. Bojo! Loose the mooring lines and stand by to make sail!” The man and the monkey immediately began casting off the ropes. Sean carried on a one-sided conversation with his companion.

“Figures, eh mate? The cap’n always does get the first crack at the pretty lass on board. Ah well, there’s a whole voyage ahead for her to get mad at him and need some comfortin’, eh?”

Once the lines were stowed, Flynn sent Bojo aloft to help shake the canvas loose while he went below to inspect the armament. Six guns… not a bad ship. Loads faster than most of the power-tubs the Navy puts out, I’ll warrant. Shipshape and tidy, though, got to hand it to the King’s Own there.

Bounding back on deck, Sean glanced over the “crew”: A captain, two men, two women (one masked… hmmm), an oriental, and a monkey. “Say, mates and cap’n, what’s the next port o’ call?”

Carefully pulling the wax plug out from the clear vial, Angelsea walked over to the edge of the ship's deck and gauged the distance to the massive amounts of gunpowder strewn all over the surface of the pier. She counted to ten very slowly, enough so that the comandeered ship was out of the immediate danger zone.

And then, with no visible emotion other than eyes seeming to be lit from within by fire, Angelsea pulled back her arm and threw the vial overboard.

In an ironic contrast of sounds, the glass container could only faintly be heard as it shattered onto the hardened wood..However, the second sound more than made up for it.

It took only a few seconds for the fire oil to burn into the gunpowder and set the entire docks to flame with a huge cloud of burning pitch, wood, and debris. Another explosion blew in the aftermath, rocking even the occupants of the sloop as they hurried to set sail.

Angelsea merely watched the brightly burning landscape as she clutched to the railing with her gloved hands, glad to see something else set on fire by her will. It was cold revenge, but revenge all the same, and it would have to do for now.

After a long moment in time of not moving at all from her silent vigil, Angelsea finally turned away from the sight and went below deck. The last thing she wanted at the moment was to be anywhere near the vicinity of another person.

As the sound of the explosion overwhelmed the harbor, Bojo screamed and jumped atop Sean’s head, chattering wildly. “Hey, now, mate, watch that language. Ladies about, y’know!” Sean replied. Bloody great fire… That lass is either damned brave or a few waves short of a tide. Seeing that the ship was well secured and underway, Flynn loped over to Seth Flight. “Well, cap’n, seems we’re on our way, wherever that is. Adventure, treasure, revenge? What’s the caper?”
Madness, I tell you. We need more pirates.
