Everypony starts at "The Lonely Unicorn Tavern", located in Queenston, this is also a save haven and your ship's docking place.

Thunder opened the door to the tavern in a rough manner. He took a look around in the tavern and saw it wasn't much more than the usual drunk ponies. Apart from one fellow in the corner, reading a paper. His sword and pistols rattled as he slowly walked up to the bar, gaining terrified looks from the ponies he passed. He kept the pony reading the paper in sight.

Blixer sat in the corner of the tavern, admiring the headline of the morning paper. Arcane Raider Strikes Again! The article read:

 

Two ships of the Royal Princess Fleet have been reported to have been sunken by the pirate known as the Arcane Raider. The ships were attacked, plundered, and sunken sometime during the past week. The few recovered survivors have conflicting stories, but it would seem the identity of this pirate remains a mystery..

 

Survivors? I didn't know there were survivors, Blixer thought to himself. But at least they don't know anything about me. The Arcane Raider, huh? I like that name. I'll see to it that it keeps it's meaning.

 

He took a swig from his drink and leaned back in his seat, scanning the tavern bar. Full of thugs and scum, he thought. Just like me. I don't doubt for a minute that, if any of them found out who I was, they wouldn't hesitate to turn me over to the RPF for a big reward.

 

He drummed his hoof on the table. Soren would be back any minute with the money from Djason and then they could get the hell out of this dump.

[Hurricane 159]

Hurricane tightened her bandana hiding her long mane. She had covered her mane and tail in coal dust to hide the pink streaks. She knew she had to hide the fact that she was a mare. Although, she couldn't hide her lanky, thin figure. Hurricane just took a deep breath before entering the cavern and put on her serious face and puffed out her chest. She entered the tavern and didn't make any eye contact with anypony. she knew she was probably getting a lot of weird stares. Hurricane walked up to the bar. "One apple cider." she said putting two bits on the counter.

[Concerto Dusk 240]

Sittin at the bar, Mirror Quake had one of is hammers standing on it's head. Looking around, he laughs. "Bunch f criminals. But they aren't my target this time. That Arcane Raider guy, where ever he is, will be quite the capture. Honestly though, I am surprised that a fight hasn't broke out yet."

[RainbowDashie 767]

@, 

"What are you? A lady?" Thunder asked Hurricane teasingly. He had seen Hurricane order an apple cider, which wasn't something very popular amongst stallions back in the day. Thunder looked at Hurricane. He seemed a bit odd, but Thunder couldn't see what it was.

[Hurricane 159]

@@RainbowDashie,

The bartender placed Hurricane's drink on the table. After getting her drink, she turned to Thunder. "No, I'm not." she replied with a lowered voice. "I'm capable of running a ship and fighting for myself." she said with an irritated tone. "Although, you probably fight like a mare." she muttered under her breath.

[RainbowDashie 767]

@, 

Thunder smiled and took a swig of his rum. "Welcome to Queenston. You must be new around here. Expect much more of those comments while you stay here." Thunder took another swig. "But if you insult me one more time i swear i'll gut you like a fish, understood." Thunder said the last part threatening Hurricane.

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

Blixer lowered his newspaper and glanced at the newcomers in the bar. His eyes widened in surprise as they came upon the large, black figure of a crystal earth pony.

 

Red mane... He glanced down and saw a cutie mark that he had seen many times before. Mirror Quake. Not good. Not good at all, Blixer thought anxiously. He was supposed to be dead. If an RPF captain discovered him here, that would lead to some uncomfortable questions. Pirate or deserter? Either assumption was equally dangerous for him.

 

He had to get out of there before Mirror Quake recognized him. He was glad that his cutie mark was covered by his black pants. But he could only keep this newspaper up for so long until he'd start to look suspicious...

 

A distraction is what Blixer needed. And from the sound of it, the mare (he saw right through her disguise) that had just walked in was about to pick a fight with the cream colored pegasus at the bar.

[Concerto Dusk 240]

Looking at the two bickering, he casually says, "threatening a captain in front of me huh? Tmyou must be new, if you don't recognize this hammer. I wilk say this once, I don't want any fighting, especially in my general area. You starts ut by gutting? Yoy get hut. Hard."

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

Blixer grinned. Good old Mirror Quake, always getting involved. The giant earth pony stood with his back to him. He put the paper down, left a bit on the table, and got up. Bowing his head, he walked passed Mirror Quake and out the door of the tavern. He let out a sigh of relief as the fresh air blew into his face.

[Hurricane 159]

@, @@RainbowDashie,

Hurricane ignored the ponies looking their way. She listened to mirror Quake without taking her eyes off the pony threatening her. "Oh,don't worry stranger," she said to Mirror Quake. " He couldn't hurt me. Especially if his fighting is as bad as his breath." she said with a smug look.

"I don't understand the problem with mares honestly. A few work on my ship, and they can fight as well as any stallion. Then again, some of the stallions I have fought wouldn't have lasted five.minutes with them." He laughs loudly. Leaning in the hammer, he says to the bartender. "Let me get the strongest drink you got. And keep filling untik the money runs out, he says dropping fifty bits on the counter. Hey, I can handle my drinks, and if I have to hunt down that raider, I want to be in a good mood first"

[RainbowDashie 767]

@,@,  

 

Thunder turned to Mirror. "Aye. I'm threatening a captain right in front of yer eyes. Gonna do something about it?" Thunder said as he stood up, ready for a fight if that'd be what it leads to. Thunder left it for Mirror or Hurricane to decide whether it'd become a fight or not.

[Concerto Dusk 240]

"Wow, you know, I am basically a pirate hunter. And you look awfully like a pirate to me." Looking down at him, he smiles maliciously. "I wouldn't ask me if I am going to do something about it, as yiu say. Because I just might." Sitting down again, he wonders aloud, "where is that pony. He was supposed to be here already."

[RainbowDashie 767]

@, 

 

Thunder sat down aswell and took another swig of his rum. "Looking for somepony? Perhaps i could help you in exchange for a bit of coin. I know almost everypony in this here town." Thunder now sat next to Mirror instead of Hurricane, this way he could better communicate with him.

[dusk shade 205]

Ranpart docked his ship polishing the masthead as he stepped on the dock. He was flanked by four full-grown minotaurs as he entered "The Lonely Unicorn".He ordered his drink and watchedthe other patrons quietly. He had given his brutish minotaur friends free reign through the tavern not caring what happened to the pirates inside.

[Hurricane 159]

Hurricane saw Thunder leave the little bicker battle. "Coward." she said under her breath. she took another drink of her cider. Then she saw him start talking to Mirror. "He's an idiot." she said to herself. She thought it was a pretty stupid move for him to start talking to somepony who hunts pirates for a living. Hurricane just continued to sit at the bar and tried her best to listen in on their conversation, but she didn't make it obvious. Just then, she saw four minotaurs stampede themselves into the tavern. She quickly flew up into the rafters to avoid getting run over. She then relaxed herself on a beam and watched the action below. 

[Concerto Dusk 240]

Seeing the red stallion walk in, Mirror Quake's mood vastly improves. "Ah, Rampart Charger, my old friend. Its about time you got here. And I see you brought friends. So, do you have antmy information for me? Preferably on the Arcane Raider? And to you, mr.sexist, I have.my source.now."

[RainbowDashie 767]

Thunder took a step back at seeing the minotaurs stampede into the tavern. He readied his pistols and sword just in case. After all, this isn't a place to come unprepared.

 

(Nothing has been said about minotaurs, but as long as they're not overpowered i think they can stay in.)

[Gloomfury 243]

After docking his ship, Gloomfury puts on his black duster that covered his lack of cutie mark  along with his pistols and knife and head out to the pub. Most royal spies could tell who he was not by his large scar on his face but by his blank flank. That or his sharp teeth.  It took just a year to earn himself quite the reputation. Along with his wrath like anger and his sharp teeth gave him the nickname, The mad dog of the sea.

 

He didn't care about nicknames but the reputation he didn't mind. He takes out a cigar from his duster pocket then put it in his mouth and lit it with a match.  When he made it to the pub he just kicked open the door. When he say some Minotaurs in his way He just pushed them out of the way and head over to the counter and called over the bartender. "Griffin brewed whiskey, leave the bottle." He said in his thick Irish accent and placed the bits on the table.

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

Blixer walked along the dock of Queenston harbor. Trotting towards him was his 2nd officer, a cream-colored pegasus named Soren.

 

"It took you long enough," Blixer remarked.

 

"You hear what they're calling you around here, Blix?" He paused, catching his breath. "They're calling you the Arcane Raider."

 

Blixer nodded. "So I've heard. I don't suppose you've seen the Silver Tsunami around?"

 

Soren stared. "Silver...wait, did you see-"

 

"Mirror Quake's just over in the tavern there," Blixer said, pointing his head towards the town.'

 

"You think he's onto you?"

 

"Doubt it. However him seeing me will change that real fast. You got the money from Djason?"

 

Soren nodded. "He gave us a job, too. There's a Sleipnord ship sailing out of Hoofnjord for San Franciscolt today. Spirit of Sleipnord was the name. There's some cargo on it he wants delivered back here. He's paying us 15,000 bits for it."

 

Blixer nodded his head. "We can do that. Tell first officer Ash to prepare the ship to set sail immediately."

 

With that, Soren ran off. Blixer lit a cigar and stared back warily into town.

[Hurricane 159]

As Hurricane watched everypony from the rafters, she noticed the two bits she previously paid the bartender sitting in a metal can behind the counter. Then she had a plan. "Wow Hurricane, it seems that wherever you are, you just have to steal something." she smiled. Hurricane waited for the bartender to be distracted for her to strike. Everypony seemed to be worrying about the minotaurs, talking to eachother, or simply too drunk to  notice. Once the bartender was turned around, she silently swooped down to the can and pulled out her two bits. Just as she was about to fly back up, she noticed somepony had apparently paid with two rubies. She grabed those too along with a few more bits before quickly flying back up to the rafters.

[RainbowDashie 767]

@, 

"You're a quick one, aye." Thunder said, flying after Hurricane. He had seen her take the bits and rubies. "But at least give me some for creating the distraction." Thunder said with a teasing smile. He didn't expect to get anything, but jaking around was his way to try to get better after a bad start.

[Hurricane 159]

@@RainbowDashie,

Hurricane turned around to see Thunder. She just rolled her eyes in annoyance at him. "Of course not." she said still trying to sound like a stallion. "I'm a pirate. I steal things. I'm not running a charity." she put what she stole in her pouch that was on her belt around her waist. "I take what I can..." she pulled out one of the rubies. "...and give nothin' back." she smiled looking at the red treasure.

[RainbowDashie 767]

@, 

 

"Aye, that would be what pirates do. Then how about we call it a partnership? We could work together, take on bigger ships than either of us could ever do alone. How does that sound? Bigger ships do oftenly mean bigger prizes." Thunder said, trying to persuade Hurricane into coöperating.
