The Beginning of Madness

Jori found the man they had talked too before* Is this enough of a crew?

He blinked, "Lot more than i expected." he said seeing them all.

Jori-we're able to do anything you need sir, so how about it

"..........................Very well. You all be working and better be not slacken." he said.

Jori-just give us instructions on what you want done and it'll be done.

He nodded and they were put to work as they began toe hip off, the originally crew were a small bunch surprisingly. But they took their time to build trust with them, while being told By Jori what to do quietly.

Jori-smirked pretty soon he had most of the crew in the palm of his hand, while he was trusted to assist the captain, he started learning where everything was and what to do.

They all took the notes not eh sailing and being like pirates, but kept their heads down and listened to Jori when no one was looking or listening.

Jori-we do this tomorrow evening, we're stopping in a port, everyone is going ashore except a few guys, knowing them they'll be drunk off rum and by the time they notice, we'll be out at sea.

Frank perked an eyebrow, "Why not just kill 'em boss?" he asked.

Jori-when we get out to sea, dump the bodies for the sharks, the one's on shore won't know what happened, if we attack when they're still on ship, they might still be able to over power us, we have to be careful.

He nodded. Eventually they got their chance while half the crew was off the boat, Jori's group were waiting for the word.

Jori-when the captain departed they waited till they were in the bar before he gave his word, it was time to obtain true Freedom*

They all got casual to each remaining of crew members and they swamped them and killed each one as other got the ship loose form the dock and they set sail away with the dark wood ship.

Jori-smirked putting on the captains hat and shuffling through his belongings* Now...we are free *he smirked, but something nagged him...the riddle from all those years ago was still in his head often.*

Frnak found the hidden stash of grog in the Captain's cabin, "Hey Boss, look at this." he said, but he noticed he looked worried, "What's wrong?"

Jori- Find the Ash Island where Death Greets you when you dock *he was scratching his head* Bring me some charts.

Frank thought that was a weird set of words but went and got the charts for him.

Jori-I want to look into something, till then make sure the boys are taken care of, we have a lot of gold below, we'll be sure to go somewhere we can properly celebrate.

"As you want boss." he said, "We just need to know the way.

Jori-we're headed east, *he pulled up a chart* We'll resupply here on this Island, after that I need to go searching for a certain place

"One your own?" he asked, But what will the crew and I do? We need you to lead us." said Frank.

Jori-when you drop me off on the Island, I need you to find a solid base of operation, somewhere we can go to regroup or head to if we need to disappear for a while.

".......But....how long do we have until we need to come back for you?" he asked, not liking this idea.

Jori-...I'm not sure, I'll let you know when I research this more...
