Various Angry Fish
Pair of Orks with melons or produce. . .
Late last eve started out like most evenings, slow, only Cyred was fishing whilst Pickles waded her toes in the bay, Keitaro and myself simple watched for much of it. I've concluded I would rather watch paint dry! Or yank arrows out of people. . . or well anything really. . . I might ask to be branded again given the option of that versus watching a man fish.
After numerous assaults by angry Cove fish. . . no idea what could possibly make the fish so damned mean really, its like we feed them orcs, or wytches, or occasionally recruits. . .
Anyhow, whilst fishing a dark vessel skimmed passed in the bay, quickly we ran for a better look, and for the Coastal guns, which apparently during my brief absence have been torn down and in their place a luxury home, this home shall need Cannons, I had hoped to sink us an Orc Barge! Not to be sadly as they harried us from the North Docks demanding tribute whilst heaving and shaking their melons. . or other produce about. We endure this display in part due to lack of fire power and also in part that they had yet to break any laws we were prepared to charge them with, that was until they firebombed the wood pile for the navigational beacon!
Whilst I quickly put out the fire using the old "Eason Maneuver" Keitaro lobbed his own grenade and returned fire with his bow chasing the brigands back into the sea! In the violence Keitaro took an arrow to the arm of which I proceeded to remove using my patented "De-arrower" a bit of screaming and some blood later, a few bandages and Keitaro had a new arm, Pickles had emptied her stomach, and I'm certain Cyred found his man to be quite brave for refusing any medicine!
The orcs menace removed, the Elfadier patched up, and pickles still quesy we stalked off into the country side to do our own things.
Another grand Covian victory!
