Wes smiles, and winks, in return to the priest in the orange robes. "Agreed" he tells Quark.

Lightfinger"Any wager as to how long it might take to get underway"
I was just about to lay odds on your wager, Friend Raythan, The wily Halfling smirks, Lucky for me, I suppose. I admit a level of curiosity concerning the Elf boy, I'm glad he's coming along. What did the good Captain say again? Fighting Sa-who-gun?
Re: Introduction: Let's All Get on Board
Luther
Thank you, captain. And thank you gentlemen, too. I'll be sure to bring you each a fine, fat side of venison once I begin hunting for the villagers.
Luther makes his way back to his gear- scaring off a pinch- faced man who was trying to encroach on his little chalked square. Well, boy, it looks like I've adopted you, like it or not! What do they call you, anyway?
He pauses to sniff the air, his nostrils flaring at an unfamiliar scent.

Jack, lost boy:
"Jack! Thanks, mister! Thanks!" the nigh-immortal stripling yells over his shoulder to Luther and Wes as he almost runs right into the big, ugly, horrible, scary, frightening monster-man that also helped him. "Um... Th-thanks, mister." Jack squeaks to the half-orc.
Then he's off exploring this big boat, sticking his upturned nose into everything from front to back, top to bottom.

The half-elf watches the final activity at the gang plank and decides to keep an eye on the youngster.
As the ship finally gets underway, he turns and looks out to sea, taking aa deep breath of the fresh salt air.

Finds a spot and settles in inspecting the scratches at his feet for further hints. Doing so he gets a little woozy, but quickly recovers. He also takes a moment to inspect the woodwork on the ship noting the craftsmanship and looking for any recent repairs that may offer more clues to what kind of work they may be getting into.

Re: Introduction: Let's All Get on Board
The crew pushes the sloop away from the dock and you slowly float towards the outskirts of the wharf area. You pass the last few ships as you pull away from the hustle and bustle of Saltmarsh.
Once you see the water surrounding you, the reality of it all begins to set in. You are about to spend the next two days of your life in a very dangerous situation surrounded by complete strangers, only to be dropped off at an unpredictable and unknown destination. The question begins to set in for each of you......will I ever see the mainland again?
Despite your trepidation, the morning weather is beautiful, with clear skies and a stiff warm breeze. The quick sloop makes its way due east at a brisk pace, spraying salty water over all of the living areas nearest to the ships rails. Considering the vessels impressive speed, it is not long before you can see nothing but water on the horizon in every direction. Many of the land loving passengers take a while to get used to the motion of the ocean, sending even the heartiest among you to the rails several times to relieve yourselves the last remnants of breakfast. Luther, Raythan, Lightfinger, and Krystal all join in on the purge.
The other passengers on board the ship seem to be quite the mixed bag. Half of them are fellow adventurers like yourselves, although most carry far less equipment. The rest look like mere commoners, unfit to even make a journey like this, much less survive whatever hardships they will certainly face at its conclusion. The crew is under strict orders not to mingle with the passengers so little is learned about your destination from them. The commoners chat amongst themselves loudly however, tossing out their ideas and assumptions freely. The first day of the trip goes by uneventfully, giving each of you plenty of time to organize your gear, clean and sharpen weapons, and do any other necessary praying or studying.
The first night also goes by uneventfully, though sleep is not exactly easy to come by on the moving, rolling craft. So far you have seen nothing else out on the water with you. The feeling of loneliness and helplessness hits you rather often in this type of unaccustomed environment. Around mid morning on day 2, a crewman shouts down to the captain from high up in the rigging.
"Thar be the Flash directly ahead cap'n, sir!"
Everyone shades their eyes to look out onto the horizon. The elves are first to spot a similar looking vessel that is heading straight for yours. The captain looks at the suns position in the sky and makes only one gruff remark.
"And already a few hours behind schedule I see.....but what's new with that."
The approaching vessel grows larger on the horizon as it draws nearer.

Brufrig Granitesunder
Just before the ship is ready to depart, there is a commotion on the docks. Running toward the ship is a heavily muscled dwarf, decked out in armor and bristling with weapons. Hold up...I'm supposed...to be on...the ship! he pants as he runs top speed for his short little legs. He stops for a moment to catch his breath when he reaches the scribe, before giving his name. My name is Brufrig Granitesunder, and I'm here because of a flyer I saw in a tavern. Sorry I'm late. First I had to stop in town to get supplies. I stopped in a store run by an odd little old man, Murgatroy or something. He kept cleaning his glasses over and over. Really weird. Anyway, when I finished with that, I had to find your ship. I would have been here sooner if you had put the name of the ship on the flyers. It turns out not everyone in town knows who Captain Quark is or which ship is his. Brufrig signs his name where shown, and then wanders off to find an unoccupied spot on the deck as instructed.

After breakfast on the second day, Wes wanders over to where Luther is sitting and crouches down. "G' mornin'. How is life on the ocean treating you? You look a bit better than you did yesterday at least. My name is Wes, by the way".
"How is the boy doing? I've seen him wandering all over. Suprised he hasn't fallen overboard b' now".
"Reason I came over is that I noticed something yesterday, been bothering me all night. I had this idea that I knew you from somewhere. I thought it was daft at first, how can I know a stranger in the middle of all that hustle and bustle?. Finally came to me: you're from up by the Dreadwood aren't you, a woodsman? I've seen you up there a couple of times, though you may not have seen me. Wes points his thumb at himself. "Druid, y'see? The Elders send us young 'uns around to keep an eye on folks that come into the forest, make sure no harm comes."
Anyway, just wanted to say you did a good thing, stepping up for the boy, and if'n you want to share an ale or two over that venison you mentioned, I'd be honoured. Oh....you're looking a bit green again. I probably shouldn't have mentioned that venison should I? Sorry."

Saracen stirs at the sound of another ship approaching and gets to his sandalled feet. He begins to put on his bandedmail armour just in case there is trouble brewing.

Krystal
dwarfed by the huge frames of the warrior Monocar (sorry though you wrote he was a hobbit literally...) and the 1/2orc priest, Krystal packs away her study books into a small shoulder satchel. She hides behind the men, who dress in their war armour "Surely you strong men will shield this helpless maiden from any such bandits seeking to disrupt our passage." she says, wrapping her cloak around her slim waist, bulged up only by several belted daggers.

Of course we will, declares the handsome Hobbit from behind even the Elfmaid, You heard her, boys, make certain no harm befalls us! He casts his eyes about the ship for the safest possible place to remain unseen, unfurls his sling to reassure himself of its integrity and fingers his pouch of lead bullets. How awful it would be, he thinks, to be perfectly safe and suddenly beset by another round of heaving.

Jack merrily joins Luther at the rail. "Are you okay mister? You don't look so good. Can I bring you something to eat? I saw a barrel of minnows before! They were a little slimy, though. And smelly!"
When Jack hears of an approaching ship, he scrambles up the rigging like a monkey to get a better look.

Raythan
The half-elf spends the day trying to gain some semblance of sea legs but forgoes eating anything, just tries to keep some water down. As he awakes on day two, he tries to read the flashes to determine if it a code, or just random.
He is somewhat concerned that their journey will be delayed. "Just stay out of the fray" is all he offers the elf maiden.

To Wes: I might have seen ya in one of the clearings. I hope we won't lock horns over me taking *cough-gag* game and destroying predators who won't leave the flocks alone.
When The Flash is sighted, he stands- a little unsteady- and looks out over the water, scanning for this new vessel. The crew don't seem too worried- I s'pose we shouldn't, either.

Wes (aka Waesfaren)
To Luther: "Oh we shall not butt heads. Obad-Hai is the God of the Hunt. He rejoices for both predator and prey."
Mid-morning: Wes sees the approaching vessel and is initially more curious than concerned. He welcomes something to relieve the boredom. After a few moments, he notices from the corner of his eye, several of his fellow passengers donning armor and reaching for weapons. "What are they worried about? he wonders, "the crew are acting as if this is routine".
Then Wes recalls his earlier conversation with Luther about predators. "I wonder how many grazing deer have heard a twig snap, ignored it, then fallen to a hunter's arrow?
Wes returns to his gear and dons his leather jerkin. As he waits for the closing vessel, he casts his eye around the deck and up to the rigging. If there's time, he'll also try to move closer to any potential cover on the side of the ship opposite the approaching ship.

Monocar Jerama
Having heard there was another ship on the horizon he had rushed to his bunk and bedecked himself once more in his full armor and arsenal of weapons. He watches the approach with wide eyed excitement and anticipation. Hearing the sweet voice of the elf maid he looks down and grin wide (Apparently not considering she is old enough to be his granny) he somehow manages to knee and still stand tall at the same time as he puffs out his check wrapping a massive arm around her shoulder. "Fair elf maiden! Do not worry! Monocar Jerama will keep you staff!" He grins widely and stands back up arching his back just a little in what looks like a practiced pose. "Come my comrades! There are fair ladies to keep safe!"
Yes! This was the kind of moment he had been waiting for. Look heroic! he thought to himself. This is the kind of moment that begins legend! Make this a good beginning and you may even win the favor of this fair elven lady.
Snapping out of his revelry he look back around to see what else is going on around the deck, commoners, adventurers, and the regulars/sailors. "I wonder if it is a pirate ship? Maybe orc marauders!" He looks over to his half-Orc counterpart. "No offense, of course! But it could be exciting! Maybe it is a ship a My-no-Tor Buck-in-the-rears! That would be fun!" To the elf Maid. "You could watch me swatch a buckle!" wink!
Yeah he was feeling very sure of himself now. He was practically shivering with excitement, causing his armor to rattle softly at the loose ends.
"Lets see... what do you think would be best again a ship full of rabid octopus men? Spear? Sword? Mace? I have a pig sticker too, if you think that we will be in close quarters..." Thinks for a moment. A very brief one. "What if it is that one guy they are always talking about? Juan-Tee? Something like that. Must be a pirate captain from down south... Hear he was a real snake! Oh, I'd love to skewer him and make a name for myself! Oooooooh... I can see if now! 'Sire! They'll say, one day years from now when we sit in my mead hall. What's the story of this rusty old cutlass over the fireplace?' and I'll smiles like on of those old grand-pappies back home... 'That? Well it was on my first adventure when I came face to face with Captain Juan-Tee! We locked blades right on the deck of the ship... canon fire... a hundred... no 200 My-no-tor Buck-in-the-rears swarming all over. My and my crew mates beat them back and I slew him myself! Kept the cutlass as a trophy when I sailed back to build this guild! Made his sails into bed sheets too! And this horn...' I'll hold up a big My-no-tor horn in my hand full to the brim with mead at that point... 'That's where these 500 drinking horns came from too!"
Well... he goes on like that for some time... Lost in his own fantasies of glory and gold...

Already?
Nearly missing the boat…….quite literally, Brufrig the ripped dwarf fighter jumps up the gang plank just as the boat is pulling away. He suggests that the name of the ship should have been posted in the notice, not realizing that there could be several ships involved with this exodus.
Wes and Luther get awkwardly acquainted while Jack only makes the conversation worse. Saracen and Monocar both don armor and ready equipment after hearing word of an approaching vessel. Krystal asks for the others to stay in front of her and Lightfinger. Raythan obliges them both.
Luther correctly determines that the crew doesn’t seem to be upset in the least by the approaching craft. He also stays calm, not feeling the need to overreact. Wes also begins to notice this but takes precautions anyway.
As soon as Jack begins climbing the rigging, the crew erupts in angry shouting. They do not take it too kindly that someone has allowed their bratty kid to screw around in this very dangerous area. As soon as the captain sees what the crew is yelling about, he calls out a loud order, loud enough for everyone to hear him.
“I knew this shit was going to happen!!! I should have left that little bastard at the dock!!! Get the crossbows out men! The first one to shoot that damn monkey out of the sails gets an extra ration of grog tonight!!! I warned that little shite once already! Drop him in the sea before the Flash gets any closer!”
The crewmen all rush to arm themselves, not exactly in love with the idea of shooting down a little boy, but also unwilling to ignore an order from the captain. They all seem quite serious about their orders as they begin to retrieve the ranged weapons from their quarters.
A few of the female passengers begin to protest the senseless slaying of an innocent, overzealous boy, but they are quickly stifled by a stern looks from their husbands/brothers/fathers. Even simple commoners know enough not to interfere when their lives are at the complete mercy of this crew.
I will give Jack one free round to react to this situation as the ranged weapons are gathered and loaded. It is quite clear that this crew means business. If you have no intention of playing by their rules, please just make an initiative roll instead.
