Guys, its just a wolf. Calm Down.
Anyway, next turn.

You wake up in the morning, you hear the engineer clunking around, working on the hull.
"Mornin' engineer." You call out.
"Mornin', I got the guns finished. So i've started work on the hull. With the help of the other men, we should be done with it in a day or two."
"This is good. I want you to drop the tools for a few minutes and gather with the men, I have an announcement to make."
"Alright, I'll gather them outside."
A few minutes later, the men are gathered at the base of the wreckage.
"Men! You have worked hard, and for this I commend you! Now, I have a proposition to make! Do you want to protect the land, and live on the edge for your nation?!"
A few whispers are heard
"What do you mean, sir?"
"I mean, we become not mercenaries, but protecters of the land! We work for our government, and destroy any who seek to harm it!"
The crowd is quiet, they want to hear more.
"You can possibly earn a fortune, have whatever you can afford. You get a dashing uniform!"
You have them now.
"Sir, I will do this, as long as it is fair. I do not expect all the spoils, but I certainly expect some!"
"And some you shall have. You will be paid directly proportional to your effort!"
"We will work for you too!" Say the other two men.
"And you engineer, what say you?"
"Well, it's not like I have much else to do, count me in!"
Alright, shits being pulled together here.
"I will head back to town to get us some supplies, and gear. I will return shortly!"
You return to town. You do not see the wolf you killed earlier.
You look down at your coin pouch and figure you can afford some navy uniforms and Steel Longswords.
You first head to the blacksmith, and buy three Steel Longswords.
-150 Gold Coins
+3 Steel Longswords
You now head to the clothier, discover he has navy uniforms on sale, due to a surplus.
You buy uniforms for yourself, and less fancy ones for your crew.
-110 Gold Coins
+ 1 Admiral Uniform
+ 4 Navy Uniforms

You ditch those stupid linen clothes.
- Linen Shit

You go to a gun store and buy a rifle for yourself and the engineer.
-150 Gold Coins
+2 Rifles
You also buy some bullets, dumbass.
-20 Gold Coins
+60 Rifle Bullets

You can go to the palace and request a charter for privateering, or you can go to the tavern and try to recruit a pilot/navigator.


Hull done in 3 turns.

While I agree with most of your post, I have to ask. How is finding the weak point, which should be obvious, on a bear, going to help us when it comes to blowing innocent brains out?


Anyway, just posting to let you guys know I probably won't do the next turn until after school tomorrow.
Which is about 18 hours from this post.
Sorry.

Before you leave, you switch back into your work clothes.

No workclothes. Keep wearing the classy ensemble. Find a feisty, prudish redhead with a Victorian accent and a gun. Someone who looks like this:

-blah-

Quote

What should we do when we get there?

Get the ship running. Promote the salvage mechanic to engineer. Become pirates.

Sorry, already on the road, the work clothes stay on until the next visit to town.
Now im stuck between privateering and piracy.
One is legal, and the other illegal.
But they are functionally the same thing.
Guys?
And now for this turn:

You approach the crash site and find that the scavenger has two of the 3 guns working.
"Hiya boss, I've got two of the guns fixed. I also located 34 shells in the munitions room, or whats left of it."
"Fantastic. I've promoted you to engineer, scavenger isn't as gentlemanly."
"Alright, i don't really care, but thanks. Anyway, after the guns, what do you want fixed next?"
"Work on the hull, that way we have a place to sleep where we won't get gutted by bandits. Oh, and these fine chaps are your new coworkers. If you need anything heavy lifted, ask them"
You point to the rabble you led out here.
"Alright, men, lets get some tents pitched. We'll be out here for a while.
You sit in your tent for a while, listening to the men working on the ship. You nom some bread.
-1 Bread
You ponder how you will ask your men if they want to rape, burn, and pillage for the hell of it, or rape, burn, and pillage for the government.
You go to sleep thinking about it.

Guns done next turn.
Hull done in 4 turns.

Fantastical ideas.

You ask the scavenger to begin working on the guns, and he agrees.
"I must head back into town temporarily to check on something, can I rely on you to not to steal everything?"
"Yeah, I'll get to work on the guns. If I may ask, what are you checking on?"
"Lets just say, minions need masters to guide them"
"Uh, alright."
You bid the scavenger farewell, and set off towards town.
It is nighttime, you hear howling in the distance.
You draw your sword, as you feel very uneasy.
You hear growling...
Right
behind
you.
You turn. LE GASP! There dos be a wolf!
Seeing as you have no chance to outrun it, you have to fight it.

The wolf claws at your legs. [1]
The attack is absorbed by your linen pants.
You slash at the beasts head [6] + 2 (This sword is made of steel, bitches.)
The head comes clean off, and you smirk, not expecting it to go that well.
"Foul beast, thee stood no chance!"
You manage to get to the gates of town.
You arrive at the tavern inside of town and wait for your minions to return inside.

Minions return next turn.

I guess the Zweihander was not the best choice for the Capra demon..

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Dark Souls first playthrough

Sounds like you're doing it wrong.
Or you just couldn't use it in one hand.

Okay, lets rock this turn:
So guys, how is game going so far? Okay? Meh?

You head down to the Blacksmith and buy a Steel Longsword and an oversized wrench, with a steam gauge on it.
You can't really afford both of those so you bribe him with your mug of ale.
Oh, you could also afford a bronze cap though.

-Mug of Ale
-60 Gold Coins
+Wrench
+Steel Longsword
+Bronze Cap

You put your silk gentlemanry in your pack and re-put-on your shitty linens. And your helmet.
You take the ferry out of town and depart for the airship.
You arrive at the airship.
You spot a lone scavenger about the crash site.
He has a Dagger, and plain clothes.
Kinda like you used to look.
Actually, exactly how you look now, he just doesnt have a sword.
Anyway.

Attack?

Minions will return in 3 Turns.

Alright, im finally back, so we can rock this!

You return to the tavern and seek out some manly men to do your dirty work for you.
The drunk you just beat up refuses to work for you, of course.
But some other patrons, who look used to hard work, take interest in your offer.
You offer them 30% of all the profits that could come from their harvesting and salvaging.
They (Dice Roll time) [1] + 2 (Nice clothes, gentlemanly) offer to work for you for 40% instead.
You tell them to head out to Geardunk Swamp and gather as many vines and snails as they can.
They will return in 4 turns.
You refuse to wait for your omnipotent masters to command you to eat, and thusly, do so.
-1 Bread Loaf
-1 Waterskin
You ask the barkeep to direct you to a room, and for 10 gold coins, you get a good night sleep.
-10 Gold Coins
Healed
No Longer Tired
You hear a rumor of a downed ship near the city.

Where should we go now?

Minions will return in 4 Turns.

I don't have time right now to put in the next turn. I'll have to do it later though, but as a note:
You have plenty of food and drink for now.
