The Ravenwing: Main Deck The main deck of the ship is the lowest and largest of the top decks. A large number of beasts (About half the crew) are scattered here either scrubbing the deck rigging the sails or just relaxing until it's their turn to go on duty. Set near the middle of the deck is the main mast, two ladders made of entirely rope lead up to the rigging. Behind the mast is a hatch that leads down to the lower decks. On the port and starboard sides of the mast are two upturned longboats that cover two large grated hatches that are used to lower cargo down through the decks into the hold. Attached to both of the railings are a pair of pullies that curve out over the side of the ship holding up two more longboats. Toward the bow of the ship is a set of stairs that lead up to the for'ard deck and to the stern another set of stairs leads up to the quarter deck and the tiller.

A healthy wind blows The Ravenwing on her journey east. Ripclaw is at his usual spot by the tiller paws behind his back, eyes on the small wooded island ahead of them.

BloodPaw comes out from below the decks of the ship yawning and rubbing his eye's, he is still very new too this crew an it's way's of doing things.

Ripclaw eyes are drawn for a second to BloodPaw, placing a paw on the hilt of is weapon he makes his way down onto the main deck. Giving the other ferret a quick look over he pass right by him without a word.

BloodPaw looks at the other ferret as he passes right by him he just rubs sleep from his eye's, then goes to look out too the sea.

Ripclaw suddenly draws his cutlass "RIGHT YOU SCURVY DOGS, SLOW UP THE SHIP READY THE LONG BOATS AND GET YOUR SELVES ARMED TO RAID THAT ISLE!" swing the flat of his cutlass he hits a nearby fox before turning his eyes to the island which is drawing very close and if that were not enough a small speck of a village can be seen nestled just off shore.

BloodPaw shrugs and goes too lower the long boats thinking ok looks like I get too see some action in me life again.

On the island a small colony of shrews amble about on their business, not knowing that it is a corsair ship approaching two small rafts are pushed off to greet the crew of the ship, poor them. Grinning evilly at this Ripclaw turns to the crew "All beasts with ranged weapons kill those shrews on the rafts!" he orders to the scurrying crew.

BloodPaw just watches the others go about too slay the shrews coming towards the ship, he just continues to get the long boats ready then, grabs a bow an arrow from one of the crew members taking aim at one of the shrews waiting for the raft too get closer before firing.

Upon hearing the cries of the shrews on the rafts the colony goes into a semi-panic with the male shrews going for any type of armament and the rest heading for the village to hide. By now the Ravening has been stopped and the anchor lowered. Swinging the flat of is cutlass at any lagging beasts he shouts out orders for all to pile into the long boats and to start rowing for the shore.

BloodPaw smiles an gets in the boat with a few other's grabbing a oar he starts rowing with them towards the island smiling all the way.

Ripclaw lands himself in the prow of the last boat; setting a foot paw on the edge of it he surveys the island. As the first boat lands the shrews charge towards it only to be beaten back, the same happens with the second boat. BloodPaw gets out of the third long boat a looks for any shrews that come after him, he draws his sword." Ah this is the life don’t know why I left it."

The shrews at seeing the vermin numbers fall back to the entrance of the village where they make a stand trying to fend off the corsair's. Ripclaw waits until his boat has come to a sound stop before stepping off; sheathing his cutlass he walks several yards behind the crew as they attack the shrews.

BloodPaw smiles at them as they try too make a stand an slashes at any that try too make a move at him.

Under the onslaught from the corsair's the shrews falter before scattering each one heading for their own home. Following behind the crew Ripclaw has the demeanor of taking an evening stroll "Capture a portion and do not kill them all leave a few to repopulate the island as always" he calls out before disappearing into a home for a moment.

BloodPaw smiles an head into a home kicking in the door an licking his blade. Surrender now or die shrews an trust me ye don’t want ta die." He moves forward to grab one of the younger shrews.

Ripclaw emerges from the home with a silver platter in his paws examining it for a second he tosses it to a near by crew beast before moving on.

BloodPaw goes about filling a bag with things he finds of worth then moves out holding the bag the shrews out in front of him, he hands the shrews over then moves into other house which is empty he goes about looting it though.

By now most of the village has been overturned by the crew and the shrews rounded up on the shore. In the middle of the village all of the things of material value have been piled up for even distribution amongst the crew. Ripclaw is still going from house to house examining the shrews’ way of living.

BloodPaw goes about tossing his thing's in weapons an other things waiting to see what he gets for his efforts knowing it wont be much do too him being new.

Ripclaw sits himself on a barrel watching the proceedings, a group of six beasts from the crew begin so divide the treasure evenly and place the medium sized piles of treasure in front of each beast even Ripclaw's is no bigger than the beast's next to him.

BloodPaw smiles and fills up the shake he found in the first hom he went in." Nice days worth of loot looks like I'm in the right crew then."

Ripclaw catches the ferret's words but does not respond, he is more concerned on making sure that none of the crew takes more than they should.

BloodPaw loads his in the long boat wait to head back he is not the greedy type that usely leads too a missing paw.
