A pirate captain named Davidge Gansaul desired aid in pacifying his ally named Blackwren and you covenanted to aid him at your discretion for a daily tithe of six cruor and the consecrated blood of all he slays and all their souls, with a further condition for possible extensions for his desires with costs to be decided as he mentions them.
This Accord is Blood Sealed by Fire and Fourteen Vital Cruor, as witnessed by the Abyss. [Zero Infractions weaken this Accord]

A small sky spirit desired you break a blue stone secured within one of Ijana's pots, and promised to repair Davidge's soul and grant you two of its secrets for the deal as well as helping you take Ijana's sacred knife and distract the greater sky spirit flying over the village. You've further accorded to bear no hostilities towards each other for the duration of six sunrises.

The shadows cast across the cave walls fade as the last vestiges of the fire die and to Ijana you emit the idea of word bound to soul and that you’re simply following your accord. You temper it with a reflection of grave wisdom, that perhaps if she had been wiser and less vengeful this wouldn’t have occurred. Her unblinking gaze shifts between you and the steaming motley remains of her knife as she speaks with determined reverence.

“You’ve only made my argument to the elders stronger, Darkjána,” she says gently, without any emanations of her previous malevolence.

You grant a faint vision of the soulless cruorless husk of a Curor within the submerged temple and of its form slowly being freed- though as your vision reaches her mind a cruel smile begins to part her glare. As she speaks you feel spiritual undercurrents within her words and none of the hunters forming up around her or the pirate guards behind you react to them.

“My thanks, Jána, for freeing my ancestor. I knew of her struggle, but could not reach her. Dealing with the ancient hatred cursed to slumber will be no small task, but I know our old ways enough to make the attempt. All I must have,” she looks past you- to the entrance of the pirate’s cove, “we can attain.” Her soul turns to nuanced thoughts as she turns away without looking at you, and the young Aniunakei hunters follow her leave.

Hidden from their mortal gaze you flit gracefully past the pirate guards, pondering her words and warning to you to never return to this island, though your attention is snared by the sea spirit beneath the cove’s waters. They must have moved quite quickly around the island, you muse. Alighting your form upon the end of the docks past subdued conversations between mortals curiously discussing the conflagration within the well-lit cave, the sea spirit emits to you the details of the secret it promised you.

“Thanks,” it nods with a peculiarly soft voice and terse emissions of gratitude, “I will remember this,” it adds quickly before ducking back into the waters. You suppose it makes sense, that with its newfound freedom it can speak once again. It swims just as quickly within the cove’s waters to leave whilst you feel odd emanations through your accord with Davidge, vague feelings of impatience marking them deeply.

You feel certain he’s eager to depart for Atrireme, though a small thought burgeons within your mind as the sea spirit continues its hastened exit underneath the dark waters. Behind you the cove’s ignorant mortals gather together in a mockery of confluence, strong flitting emanations marking their rising arguments.

>You’re fairly confident in your power to complete Davidge’s accord on your own, go to his ship and let him know it’s time to leave.
>Propose an accord to the sea spirit for their aid in your journey to Atrireme.
>Something else. [Write-In]

What's left of of our deal to the pirate Davidge?

>>48761580
So far he's only spoken of pacifying his ally Blackwren, who he's mentioned has made port at Atrireme. He has yet to specify any other conditions.

>Whoops, somehow forgot this tidbit.

Voting is by majority in the first 15 minutes unless discussion exceeds that. If no consensus is reached I’ll pose a simplified or preference-graduated vote and utilize dice for stalemates.
There are bonuses to creative write-ins and additional ideas, situationally and mechanically, and I recommend you discuss your thoughts aloud.
>In other words, write-ins take precedence.

>>48761478
After the sea spirit teaches us its secret, head off to Davidge.

Quick OP, delete thread and respost on /qst/. People will get buttmad + you'll get less players.

>>48761903
Eh, I can't delete the OP, it's too old. Never had more than 3-4 regulars anyways.
Anywell, thread off tonight.
