I see the ship's crew all gathered in the hall and their all staring at a fight going on in the middle. It's a rather haggard looking and beaten pirate against a... woman? She has long, deep brown hair and her skin is the color of light mocha. She is moving with an effortless grace as she is delivering the beating of a lifetime to the hapless pirate. He is trying to stab her with a cruel looking knife but she dances around him, skilfully avoiding him before delivering a ball shattering kick to his nether regions! Me and the other pirates wince in horrified unison.
"Which one of you purse wearing pansies is next?!" She asks while smiling. A silence falls on the room.
I clear my throat and push my way through the obviously terrified group of pirates.
"And who be you buttercup?"
"I be the rescue party ma'am" I say in wonder.
"Do I look like I need to be rescued?"
"Well the accommodation and company around here leaves much to be desired, would milady care to join me in my glorious rescue attempt?"
"And how in the name of the queen of England's balls do you think you're going to do that?" She asks with a face that has smelled sour milk
"Right through the front door" I reply
My words are scarcely cold when I feel the very sharp point of a cutlass press into my neck...
"My front door?" A raspy voice says behind me...
