Girl on da airship? There will be lot of Fun.

EDIT: I will be judging on a championship on a Polish Card Game, after that I will proceed with teh story. The last cannoneer can be taken later

[Haspen]

As I promised - let's go fly!

One of the mechanics said:
-Dastot! Dastot Sedil! "Sword of Angels", sir!
Crowd started murmuring immediatelly:
-Isn't it quite elfy?
-But it have sword in name...
-King will decide anyway...
Burly cannoneer, with pipe in mouth shouted:
-Anilzuglar, "The Glorious Ship"! That's a good name for ya ship!
Captain Kol walked to him.
-What's your name?
-Me name is Jorvus, arr.
-I see.
-IFRIT!
Shouted a dwarf lady from the crowd.
-What's a damn Ifrit?
No response. Kol sighed.
-Magma Messenger!
Said the only she-dwarf of the crew. King nodded for all name with which the crew came up, thought for a while and finally said:
-So be it! From this moment, this airship will be called... Anilzuglar, "The Glorious Ship!"
Crowd cheered loudly, while other cannonners congratulated Jorvus for picking a good name. He smiled widely, moving pipe from one corner of lips to another.
-Crew of Anilzuglar!
King began his speech.
-Thou first task will be... obtaining Crystal of Water from Mysidia!
Silence fell on the gathered dwarves like sky on gaul village.
-Erm... Mysidia? What's that?
-Oh, I'm sorry!
King started searching for something in his robes.
-Wrong script, where's... ah, there! Ekhm! Your first task is to bomb a forest retreat of those damn hypocrits, the Elves, who frolic east of here!
Crowd yet again burst into ecstasy.
-Make dwarvenkind proud and elves scream loud!
King shouted.
-Dismissed!
-Crew! ON THE BOARD!
With this, cannonneers, mechanics and rest began climbing onto Anizuglar, backed with cheers and joyful shouts of fellow dwarves, who will stay on ground.

*On the engine deck*
-Steam engine working, sir!
Roxanne said as the ship started to vibrate.
-Ye ready, lads?
-Aye!
-So let's fly!
-AYE!
Two lever pulled later, the wind-arms began to spin at great speed.

*On outside*
-My dear Kubuk, will you pull the lever?
Sarvesh kindly asked his wife.
-I'm pulling your 'lever' every night, dear, so have some fun yourself.
King burst into laughter.
-As ye wish! Fare thee well, dwarves of Anilzuglar!
He shouted toward the ship as wind-engines began to work and he pulled the lever which controlled the steel construction on which the airship was sitting all this time.

For one second, nothing happened, but alas! The Airship began to fly west and up!
-Liftoff! We have liftoff!
Shouted ecstated Dwarven King.

*On board*
The ship stopped acting strangely and calmed down. The cheers of crowd being quieter, and sound of moving propellers made Captain sure of the thing.
-We're flying, lads!
Assembled crew cheered.
-Okay! First of all, I wanna know something about you! Get your possesions on the hammocks - and assemble on the main deck in next 10 minutes!
-Aye aye, captain!

And so the tale of Dwarven Airship "Anilzuglar", and it's crew, began as the flew high into the cyaness of the sky!

[Haspen]

-So we're all here, yes? No, wait... Where's Chief Engineer? And the cook Mabdung?
-Keeping the engines working. And I seen the Cook guzzling off some booze of da barrel, sir.
Explained Shin.
-Ah, I see... wait a sec, what's that monocle made off?
Captain stepped toward Shin.
-Adamantine! You... that will surely bring us doom!
He quickly snatched the monocle from Shin's eye and was already making a throwing move of arm, but part of his mind keep telling "Shiny things must stay!"
-...but... shiny...
Captain reconsidered his decision.
-Keep it lad, shiny things must stay!
-Sir, when our axes or cannons will see some action? I wanna blow these elves up noow!
-Patience, lad. You're that Jack Nashonziril, ya?
-Indeed.
"By the gods, why him? I won't be suprised if Anilzuglar will explode one day or another... damn."
-I'm very... happy to have you around... yeah. You two, mechanics.
-I'm Yeeni! I wanna make guided missiles.
-I'm Hetros! I want make faster machines.
-Heh.
Captain smiled a bit.
-That kind of rhymes, you know? But don't mess around with powd--
-Arr! Can we stop this lovely talkin' and get some booze, capt'n? 'm not dwarf o' speech, but of ax 'n cannons, arr!
Jorvus was quite overactive.
-Ye will have your booze. You, lad!
Kol pointed on Roxanne.
-Ye aren't too young a boy for the airships? And why yer blushing, Dastot damn it?
-...
-I asked ye something!
-I'm a girl!
Roxanne replied. She then got on the other side of deck and began starring into the horizon.
-Arr, capt'n, don't ye be so angry 'round 'er. Her seems shy, arr.
-Sure, sure...
Kol sighed. Dwarven pirate, explosive Jack, a girl and monocle lover. He would never think of... better? Yeah, better crew.
-I... don't feel... too well...
Lawrec was cringing to the balustrade.
-Oi! Not at the cannon!
Shouted one of cannoneers when Lawrec began to throw up his now-lost breakfast overboard.
"Great. +1 sick cannoneer." Kol sighed yet again.
-Sir...
-What! Oh, it's you, girl... I'm sorry.
-Sir!
-No, no! I must apolog-
-Sir!!!
-Okay, WHAT!?
-Harpies!!!
Shouted ecstated Roxanne, pointing with her finger on the five small, black points, quickly approaching and growing into bird-women.

EDIT: ARGH, Damn! I just now noticed I made a mechanic dwarf, not cannoneer on the side with harpies. Sorry for inconvenience, rosedrake

[darkrider2]

you also mixed up Yeeni and Hetros.

[Haspen]

Argh xP Solved this one, I must stop writing in late night

[rosedrake]

heh, poor captain, the only sane dwarf aboard.

it's alright with the art mistake... well, now i want that asciidraw too.

also, this airship gave me ideas for an actual airship fort. with cannons (utilized by caving in a single floor tile, making it hit the floor below, into the magma, and creating a cloud of deadly magma mist). hee!

[shadowclasper]

The captain's gonna be REALLY sad the day that Hetros finally perfects his swiss-army wrench... with built in pressurissed magma launcher (think like those water-drills, but with MAGMA!)

[Haspen]

Added a small thing in first post. Acts as a teaser

Anilzuglar still have one place for a cannoneer, take it while it's still there

[Haspen]

-To the mess! Grab the axes!
-Arr! Blood will be spilled! That's wat I was waitin' for, action not damn talkin'!
-Woohoo!
Shouted Jack.
-Slaughter is coming! Boom! Ha!
He and rest of the crew run to grab the axes.
-Move yer cook beard! Ye will be fightin' birdwomen!
Shouted Jorvus to Mabdung.
-You!
Kol pointed on the dwarf

*Not so far from ship..*
-Crraak! Sisters! We shall be feast on the short ones!
-Rrrak! Meat!
The harpies were agitated.
-Lookraaak, they're hiding!
Shouted one of them as dwarves supposedly fled inside.
-Kraahahaha! That won't save them!
After few seconds, the monsters landed on the deck.
-Arrak! Let's get there!
The harpies slowly began walking toward the door...

*Behind it, two seconds earlier*
-Okay, on my three! One.... two...!
-YAAHOOO! Blood for my blood grenades!
Jack stormed out.
-That wasn't three!
Shouted Captain as his Chief Cannonner sliced the harpy and threw it back onto another one.

With battle shouts, crew sprung from the mess and began battling with she-birds.
-Ugly beard-women, arrrk!
-WHAT!?
Roxanne yelled and jumped toward a harpy which insulted her, quickly starting to wrestle the damn monster, scratching her face and kicking her where she could.
-Yeah, good job girl!
Shouted Jack while hacking on another, occasionally evading flying harpy parts and Jorvus axe, who tried to land a hit on a harpy - but she jumped back every second.
-Ah damn! Come one, I shall tear your Harpy back, har har!
-Darn! Leave somethin for me!
Said Lawrec, standing beside the 'almost-sky-pirate' Jorvus.
And mechanics?
They decided to guard the mess:

[Haspen]

Psst! Jackrabbit, how u do that random grass? Cuz ALT-6 is not working for me...

(Sorry for no pics in this update)

The battle was quick one. Captain managed to take down one, while Jorvus in a fit of anger thrown the axe and landed a hit on harpy's head, almost splitting it in half. Roxanne, after a bit of wrestling, slipped nad tossed her enemy overboard, onto working propeller. Captain Kol commented it later:
-Well... I always liked red-painted airships.
Only one harpy was alive after this few gory seconds. She died only a few moments later, when mechanic Hetros mangled her wings and then head with his wrench.
-I wonder who will clean this mess?
Said Roxanne, after looking on the blood stained deck, with harpy body parts lying on random.
-Hmmm. I think I know.

A few minutes later, everyone gathered around one table. Shin, Roxanne and captain Kol were especially nervous. There's only 3 straws left in Captain's grip. Hetros sighed and pulled out the middle one. Long. He sighed again and turned to Mabdung to get a mug of ale. 2 straws. Roxanne grabbed the left one, but then Kol said:
-Choose wisely, or you will regret your decision.
She thought for a while and took the right one. Short!
-Ha! They always fall for that!
-ARRRGH!
Roxanne screamed, took a piece of cloth and stormed out the room, closing the door with loud 'THUD'.
-Arr, Captain, ye shouldn't trick on such nice lass.
-Ah well. She's a woman after all.
The crew laughed and proceed to drink the ale, while Shin (who pulled the first straw) get in the room. He adjusted the monocle on his cheek.
-Sir! I've seen the forest on the horizon. And why is Roxanne that damn angry?
-She lost, that's all. Come, have a drink!
They spend the rest of the afternoon celebrating, while Roxanne... well, you will find out.

[Jackrabbit]

alt-f6 I think.

This is good, by the way.

[Jervous]

ALT-F I believe.

[rosedrake]

.... :'D hoh boy. is it fun times for roxanne now?

heh, cleaning blood is fun! ... and body parts!

.. right?

[Jackrabbit]

No, I checked, you highlight the area and then hold down alt and press 6.

[Haspen]

Few minutes of partying later...

Captain Kol choked heavily on the plump helmet he was eating.
-SHE done WHAT to the deck!?
Shin, who went outside after three mugs of ale, repeated:
-She painted the deck, sir.
Kol stormed out and froze afterwhile.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-For the holy Beard of Armok! Why's blood everywhere?
Roxanne grinned widely.
-See, there was so much blood around, so I thought that it will be easier and faster to paint the deck rather clean it...
-Damn girl! Hellish youngster! Ye shall clean it! Aaargh!
Kol, shouting and cursing, went back to mess and to his room upstairs. Roxanne laughed quietly.
-You know ye will have to clean it?
-Of course. But that was worth it!
Shin grinned and grabbed a rag.
-Oh well, let's make it quick.

Sun was begining to hide behind the horizon, when Roxanne and Shin finished cleaning the deck. Jorvus was grinning when the girl got inside.
-Arr! Ye girl have balls! I like ye, har har har!
Roxanne blushed when he gave her a mug of ale.
-Uh, thanks...
-Wee! The Forest!
Jack was peeking through the windows.
-It's below us! Roxanne! Lawrec! Come with me, we shall bomb 'em!
They quickly got through quarters and cannons deck, onto the lowest deck, filled with black and reddish bulbous shapes. Chief Cannoneer pulled the lever and opened the hatch - cold wind struck them in face.
-Take the fire one!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After a while, bomb began it's journey toward earth with a high, whistling noise.
-Umm, how long until it hits sir?
Asked Roxanne.
-Dunno. Five seconds?

*Meanwhile, in elven forest*

Ninini the Elf smiled to evlen girl, who was sitting beside blooming yellow flowers.
-Oh my lady Ilina! You eyes are like heavens, beautiful and pure, you smile has charmed me fo sure!
Ilina giggled, while Ninini continued his poem.
-Oh lady Ilina, your lips... did you heard that, my lady Ili-
Ilina flashed bright red.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Oh my godness! Flames from the skies! We are atARGH IT BUURRRRNSSSss!
Ninini, the Elf, burned to death.

-Woohoo! The fires are spreading like HFS!
Jack was ecstated, looking through the opened hatch. Lawrec also looked, and after a bit of nausea, send some vomit as a partying gift for the elves.
-I wonder for what damn reason you got on the ship, Lawrec.
Roxanne was clearly disgusted. Too much vomit in one day, it seems. Jack  turned sight onto the pair and said:
-Brign another one!
