Corweena Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) As the youngest and newest member of the crew about the Nymeria, young Jaime had the pleasure of doing all the unwanted tasks aboard the ship, left by the more senior crew. When he heard the Nymeria was headed to Mesabi Landing to trade, he knew this was his chance, and secretly began preparations, stowing small parts of cargo away to keep for himself to sell. Once the ship docked, and the cargo was unloaded (and his stolen portion quietly offloaded elsewhere), he finally got his permission to see the town. He turned back to the crew, gave them a smile and said "I hope you all get eaten by Dolphins" then disappeared into the crowd. When the time had come for the Nymeria to disembark, he was nowhere to be found, and a good thing too, the Crew would have strung him up if they could find him, for stealing part of the cargo and taking a significant chunk out of their profits. Meanwhile, young Jaime was living the dream. He sold his goods, and was hidden out in the Sunken District of the city, and procured a small shanty away from prying eyes. He holed up there until he knew the Nymeria had left the port, and any danger to him was gone. To pass the time, he relied on every Sea Rat's favorite go-to.....rum and pleasurable company. And with coin in his pocket, neither were in short supply (for now). Who knows what the future holds for Jaime, but that is not something young Sea Rats generally think about, at least while they still have coin To be licensed as a small residence in Mesabi Landing, as the result of the chance roll for docking at the port.

Mesabi Posted October 25, 2020 Looks good @Corweena, and thanks for participating in Mesabi Landing's innovative port outcome system. The bridge looks quite good, and the story and flavor of the build matches Mesabi Landing well. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraunces Posted October 25, 2020 A real piratical post this is! Some more flesh to the life of a lot of regular seamen in the BotBS-world Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darnok Posted October 26, 2020 Ha, loving it! Great story, and a lovely little build. The plankway is done well, and the house scene develops neatly with the outside-inside switch of looks. Young Jaime seems to be having a good time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some more flesh to the life of a lot of regular seamen in the BotBS-world That's what I was going for.....Sea Rats will be.....Sea Rats. Many don't care who they steal from, as long as they come out ahead . Best friends for hire, and equal opportunity thieves! 19 hours ago, Darnok said: Ha, loving it!

Had to add a little bit of debauchery to the build, befitting a man with "flexible" morals and convictions....and who knows, I may continue the story of Young Jaime and his antics in Mesabi Landing.
