Senak was walking along the docks, smoking, and wathcing at his ship.. He was finding it soo majestic, even tough everybody said that was the ugliest ship of the'll... But that was his master's gift for beeing his best student, that was his dream... Everytime he walked on it's deck he felt he was a god, he knew that almost nothing can harm him when he was captain... But then he remembered the last trip when a lighting striked his master's ship... He almost died.. His body had many scars, but his face was intact.. He could feell even now the hot air blowing in his face...
Senak: What, the?!? I'm thinking like on of those stupid sailors missing their mom and dads like 10 years old kids.. Must concetrate on finding my crew... All od a sudden his atenttion is focusing on a dissucion between 2 men... A normal sailor talking to a noble man.. This is weird...
* He slowly walks towards those 2..*
Senak: Good day to you, men.. I'm sorry if I'm intrurepting, but your disscusion withdraw my attention.. I've heard something about boarding this ship.. I'm sorry, but this is not a transport ship...
Lazarus:I'm sorry, but I'm not planning a trip.. I was talking about my posibilities of boarding your ship as a doctor.. I'm one of the best doctors around the castle, but I'm bored with this life.. I'd like to heal real men and fight, not just to heal some stupid old nobles...
Senak: Sir.. Are you sure about this? We have bad food, we have little payment, walking on this deck can greatly harm you, cause it's made out of very old wood, dirt covers all the deck and..
Lazarus: Stop the crap.. Let's talk like real men... I hate evrything about nobles life, I hate the way they hide themselves from dangers.. I want real life.. I want to feel my blood rushing trough my veines... My name is Lazarus and I'm one of the best healers and know how the fight at least like an ordinary man.. Do you accept my offer? I'm in no need for payment until we reach our destination..
Senak: Okay.. But first you'll have to prove yourself to me... Sorry for this, but I don't need puppets, I want men who can't think of themselves... Welcome to my ship.. My name is Senak..
Ben:Sir.. wait.. I want to join your crew too...that if you have any more room..
Senak:What do you know to do?
Ben:Well.. I'm considered one of the best shooters.. I can kill someone before he can get his gun out...
Senak: Hope that will not be me.. I'm also not searching for men who have serious tought for mutiny after I damn bullet hit them in the leg and run like women... Okay.. If you prove what you say, I'll be considering your position...
Ben: Thank you sir.. My name is Ben...
Senak: Folloe me, men...
Senak starts walking toward the ship, with his new men following...
Senak(thinking): I shall make Ben my first mate.. this way i'll be able to keep an close eye one him... If he is that good as he says to be, I'll have to be very carefull with him.. Good men, also means great danger...

As the 'Avengers' get on the ship, Senak shows Lazarus around, but Ben Marlowe just sits on a nearby empty crate and polishes his gun. Once the other two are done with their small tour, Ben says, without taking his eyes off the gun, 'So, what are our plans for the day?'

'Well, I think that we should get settled as point nr.1 Then, I'm thinking of making something to eat. By the way, does anyone of you know what kind of food we have on the ship?'

Senak takes a short look at Lazarus...
Senak:Before we can eat will have to work. Let me present you with the rules of this ship... First of all I want clean men... I'm sick'n tired of fleas and dirty clothes.. You' re pirates indeed, but first of all we're humans... I'm sure if people we're clean and all the rest they would fight better, their concentration would focus only on the fight... So, before anything else you'll get those clothes clean.. Also I don't need dead people... I want you alive... So no useless fighting on my ship... More... All of you will have to know how to sneak into people houses.. I don't need useeles kills and an army on my tail beacuse you wanted to show how brave you are with a gun against a peasant.. If anybody sees you, you'll have to kill everybody present on the spot and retreat as fast as you can... The old ways are leading pirates to death.. Hail to The New Age of Pirates!!!
* his throat was burning... he tought at this for a long, long time, when he was alone... He was tired of the old life.. His master teached him a lot, but he knew that his ideea will help me very much*

'Roger that, chief!' Lazarus shouted, surprised over this young captain that actually was smart 'No fleas in our beds, Sir!'

The captain has gone off to attend to his buisness Jack, but you can have first watch. I will go after you.
*Isildur walks off into his cabin and pulls out the pen and pad he brought with him*
I have been elected firstmate, a nice position i must admit, one i wasn't thinking i could get. My fellow crew members are unique in their own ways, and seem like nice people. So far nobody has got on my nerves... so far.

The Interceptor sets sail, with one thing in mind....
www.anru.ru
Stan knew the time was right. He would venture out to sea, using his wit, cunning and knowledge of pirate phsychology to catch them and pillage their ships. This was his dream. Those bloodthirsty cretins will regret the day they ever crossed the Captain of the Interceptor!
When he heard that the former captain of this great ship was killed by the Dread Pirate, it seemed like this was definately the position for him. The captain of an anti-pirate ship. And a fast one at that, too. 8 rounder cannons, reinforced wood with extra bolting, and still runs smoothly and efficiently. '
Ha, those pirates dont stand a chance'
First he must find the right crew, and this would be hard to do, to find someone who dislikes the thieving sea dogs as much as he does, especially in these parts. This wasnt exactly seafaring territory. He would accept nothing but the best and most loyal to suit The Interceptor, and to find one such as that, he would have to set sail to Mournhold.
He had heard it through the local Black Market Fence operator, that Dread Pirate was goin for a huge bust. Massive wealth innit', he said, and just begun. This was perfect.
"Lower the Mainsul!" Stan called to Andrew, his hired crewman. He was no good but was a good sailor. Once the fighting starts, An would be long gone. "We're headed Due East to Mournhold"
"Yessir!" An replied, saluted quicly and began to untie. Stan picked up his sword and sighed. For me, he thought, it begins here, but for the pirates, the end is near.

As the interceptor entered the majestic ports of Mournhold, they recieved a rather warm welcome.
'Huh.. seems like the Interceptors reputation hasnt died down just yet. Better not let them down!' thought Stan.
They lowed the sails and rigged up the boat.
"Thats it sailors! Here we are!" he yelled, and a cheer arose on the boat. Stan is a rather easy going guy, and runs his ship that way too, so the crew enjoy their job, and are all good men. It didnt take long at all before the ship was rigged to the dock and they were walking the city.
"Ya kno', it was said, that dese streets 'ere were s'posed to be paved wit gold! Not all its cracked up to be, eh?"One of the crewmen cracked. No one laughed, to his disappointment. It had been a long journey. Stan entered the town hall, leaving his temporary sailors in the tavern.
A man in a white tattered shirt, and a piratelike appearance ran up and embraced Stan crying "Stanley! Ma boy! So long! What brings you here?
"Townsend! Im sorry but i am pressed for time right now, mate. Im looking for a crew, and i was hoping you should show me my way around, seeing as you know more than most on this topic. Im captain of the Interceptor now, you see and i need the finest pirate slayers around."Stanley replied, taking him outside.
"Wow! Well done! Now i see your problem, and i know the solution; I have just the place! Come with me!"
and with that they were being led out the door.

Captain's Log:
We set sail yesterday and once again I man a ship o' the finest dogs. Each one o' them carries some sort o' special trade or another. I'm hopin that with this doc we have that we lose less crewmembers than last time. Damned Scurvy! I heard from the mainland that the Intercepter has set sail again and has yet another captain manning it. More target practice for me. In fact I don't see why I shouldn't tell the crew. A new captain is never anything to be afraid of specially if he's mannin that Intercepter. They may be a problem for the other ships settin sail...perhaps I should leave the ship be than. Let it take out my rivels and than do away with it.
End Log
*Leaving his quarters, Ivan headed to the wheel where Isiulder was steering the ship and wistling a tune to himself. Jack was staring through his spyglass into the distance and seemed focused on somthing. The Doc was in his quarters fidling with his equipment. He'd have to be toughened up.*
Ivan: I'll take it Isiulder. I need me fresh air every now an' than. What's that Mr. Daniels got his lights fixed on?
Isiulder: Not sure sir. Been standin' there for some time. I believe I heard im say somthing bout another ship headen over towards Mournhold. Been staring in that thing ever since than. Not sayin it's bad or anythin but It's starin ta get me worried.
Ivan: Jack, lemme take a look in that contraption.
Jack: Yessir. Saw a ship in the distance sir. Looks familiar. Can't help but think I seen it before.
*Looking through the spyglass, Ivan focuced on the object in the distance. Sure enough it was indeed a ship. Come to think of it, It looked awfully familiar as well. Ivan closed up the spyglass and looked menicingly at the two.*
Ivan: I ought to sail back an trade you's all in for some o' them forners. Least I won't be hearin them whine. Look at the Ship you be mannin. Never have I had to deal with this. Being frightening is the main reason that we've been nearly untouched all these years. The very mention of the Dark Flame turns a man's legs to jelly. Shape up.
*In his own mind Ivan was thinking of where he'd seen those symbols before. That ship was all too familiar but the idea that he couldn't remember it brought fear. He couldn't ever let the crew know. He was the Dread Pirate after all...*

Townsend and Stan entered the tavern. A rowdy brawl was already in order, with his hand on his hilt, Stan dodged around them, followed by townsend.
"If youre looking for worthy sailors, heres your place... becareful though. Keep yer' hands on your gold, if ya' know what i mean!"Townsend indicated to the other patrons. There was a peculiar looking man sitting in the corner, who stood out because he was the only one who seemed moderately washed.
"Excuse me, sir. I havent seen you here before, what business are you on?" Sitting down, Stan inquired.
"Ma' business is my own, laddy. Now why dont you and yer' pirate friends go find someone else to bother!" He grunted abruptly, and turned to face the wall.
"Dislike pirates, eh? Thats exactly the spirit im lookin' for. I hate them. We most certainly are not pirates, but Pirate Hunters. My friend here, is captain of the Interceptor!"Townsend answered with certain dismay. This seemed to kindle the interest of the listener slightly...
"Go on..."The man said, turning back. He was rather tall and had a thick beard, but was bald.
"Its true. I'm looking for seaworthy men, capable of fighting pirates and sailing rough seas. Do you fit that description? The food is good, the pay is better, and the loot is the best of all!"Stan said, hoping this might do the trick.
The man was listening now. You have acquired my interests. However, I am not the man you are looking for;.. Robert! Get over here!"A tall man, with well defined muscles came over to the table. He seemed to know exactly what they wanted. Townsend noticed the double pistols he held at his waist, but not the rifle which was slung over his shoulder. This man seemed fresh from the battlefield.
"Sir Robert at your service, mister. I know who you are. You are Stannage of the 7 Seas, and of the Interceptor! I would be humbled to join your ship. I can take a bullet through a stinkin pirates head a mile off. Waddya think?"He bowed low and presented his weapons as a token of trust.
"Consider youself in! Youre the second crewmember only, so i need more. Pack your things, we set sail next moon. We've got a big bust coming up, ya feel ready?" Stan said, picking up some things.
"Sure thing capn, ill meet you back here tomorrow!" He replied. He looked very eager to join. His age was not so apparent.
"Great. This is my first mate, Townsend. Yes, thats right, youre in too Townsend, i know you want to, welcome to the crew!"Stan said and bought some ale.
"Um... ah, thankyou! To Honour and Victory!" Townsend said, and they repeated the maxim and cheered the ale, before gulping it down.
There was a lot of work to be done, and a lot of explaining to do. Their adventure had only just begun.
