Nah, we gonna paint the boat in the colour of bling, lure pirates to it, and then steal THEIR boat while they have to stay afloat on a boat with a fucked up rudder and a few fist sized holes in the bottom.I'm sure you are all great navigators and sailors who brave the seven seas by only the light of Polaris, but that doesn't mean your character is one.
Anyway, work taking longer than expected, update will probably only be out tomorrow.
We can prepare the island for the assault and sabotage the pirates while we're on that island, tipping the scales in our favor.A. You agree and go along with her to meet the pirates before the mission begins. It will be extremely risky, but it will give you the chance to turn adversity into opportunity. You can decide what to do with the pirates after you set foot on the island – this will give you a headstart on the other pugilists anyway.

We're not saving the girl either, but you don't know this yet. :DBaltika9 said:We're not saving the friend's husband, though, don't know where people are getting that from.
It's just as simple as this: we take a risk and I feel pretty confident that taking said risk is the best thing to do in this situation. We get a chance to set up the battlefield to our advantage in A, even if it is something completely minor like memorizing the layout of the island and the captain's location, or spiking their supplies with laxatives or what have you. Are we going to turn this into a Rambo-style sabotage? Probably not, if we want our trio to make it off the island alive (I'm not even mentioning the friend we're asked to save at that point). But it lts us increase our chances of victory in the challenge, definitely.If it were just one of these goals, I'd be fine with it, but we can't just accept a challenge then fuck off and do something else. We've put our reputation on the line such that if we lose, our respect in the pugilistic world plummets because we lost to a bunch of no-name schools that weren't even present at the tournament. I initially thought that this would be an opportunity to get a head start and take out the pirate leader before the rest of the pugilists arrive, but we'd have to accomplish both goals while we're there, which seems a bit impossible given the number of pirates. Killing a hundred pirates might be trivial for the likes of Master Zhang, but we're not there yet.
Having your cake and eating at rarely seems to work out in these LP's, and I think that this is quickly becoming a good example of that. I am not okay with alerting the pirates and giving them advance warning just to save one person when we have 122 pugilists putting their lives on the line as well. I mean, if we'd chosen C in the previous choice, this little excursion might be a good idea because we wouldn't have the extra condition of taking the pirate leader's head, but now we have to.
Hey, put the two of them on aBaltika9 said:Are we going to turn this into a Rambo-style sabotage? Probably not, if we want our trio to make it off the island alive (I'm not even mentioning the friend we're asked to save at that point).
This is quickly turning from 'all the loot you can carry' into 'all the chicks you can carry' type of the mission.Baltika9 said:That, and I really love Jing's "grumpy helper" streak, a hot babe just asked us to save another hot babe on a balls-out daring raid to an island full of pirates that we can fuck with at our discretion.
Fixed it for you.Baltika9 said:The planning is up to us, she provides the nice boat ending.
We did sign up for the mission to take back pirate booty.This is quickly turning from 'all the loot you can carry' into 'all the chicks you can carry' type of the mission.
Exactly. Neither of them are likely to posses skills to help us and the girl will probably be an active liability. So, the moment we hit land the two of them should either hide with the boat, or if that is not possible take off again. We can give them a signal or set a time when they should return - if they should return at all, we can always hitch a ride back home with the task force. I have no wish to have them wandering around the island alone and we will be too busy to take care of them ourselves.Hey, put the two of them on abusboat and let them steer away form the island. Then help yourself.
That, and I really love Jing's "grumpy helper" streak, a hot babe just asked us to save another hot babe on a balls-out daring raid to an island full of pirates that we can fuck with at our discretion. The planning is up to us, she provides the boat and the happy ending.
Are we going to "get our cake and eat it too?" Probably not, but we definitely can make some sabotage on the island, just enough to help tilt it in our favor, and rescue the girl. If the above two points aren't enough to hold your interest, well, I've got nothing.
Only we're kinda planning to be gone by dawn and the expedition will arrive after dusk of the next day. Unless we royally fuck up and are forced to stay on the island past through the whole day, but at that point we have bigger problems.Uh-huh. That'll look REAL good when the invasion force lands and papa determination sees his daughter tied up and Rong's boys start shouting that we kidnapped her to sell to the pirates. Oh, and just how are we supposed to recognize this girl without her?
Who cares, even if she is still around when the task force gets here. She's in enough trouble for sneaking off with us (and so are we). Nobody will care about us tying her up as well - hell, her old man will probably thank us for keeping her crazy ass out of even more trouble. As for recognizing our target, I don't know, how are we supposed to recognize her in the C choice? There probably aren't that many female pirates on this island and even less han female pirates. Maybe get some description from miss suicide mission before going in.Uh-huh. That'll look REAL good when the invasion force lands and papa determination sees his daughter tied up and Rong's boys start shouting that we kidnapped her to sell to the pirates. Oh, and just how are we supposed to recognize this girl without her?
What about keeping the guy's daughter alive? What happens if she gets killed? We'll probably be accused of kidnapping her and with her dead there will be no one to refute it. All the pugilists will hate us and attack us. Also, what happens if her friend doesn't want to be "saved" from her new life as a pirate? What if she rats us out to the pirates in order to warn them of the attack? Can we really handle an entire army of pirates on our own?
I'm telling you, Lambchop19, knocking people out is the answer to all of your problems. KO your employer, KO the girl you are supposed to save (get a description and a name from our employer first so that you can verify our target is indeed the right one), and you are all set.Yeah, I'm sure miss self-determination will wait in the boat like a good girl.
