The sound of armor...

[Jarad]

Geddo quickly killed the gaurds that entered the room their blades bouncing off of his armor. then he jumped out of the window and landed behind the admirle. "You are to fight me or flee. Chasing after the girl will quicken your death." Geddo said in a thretning voice, his saber in his hands.

[ulyssar]

Lorian laughed at the pirate running away as she pulled out her, nocking an arrow and lining her up. "Feel sorry for yourself pirate," she hissed out the last word, and released the arrow, hoping to hit her in the leg or something, but she didn't see if it hit as another pirate jumped in between her and the female pirate.

"You are to fight me or flee. Chasing after the girl will quicken your death."

Lorian looked at the pirate with almost stunned pity as the guards circled around him and pointed their spears at him. Lorian dropped her bow and pointed her sword at the gap between his standard and helm, pushing into the thin line of flesh between the armoured plates of his neck.

"You will surrender, or you will die. Fighting will only quicken your death..."

[Kristen]

Morwen rounded a corner but as she looked back to see if she had luring the Admiral away. She cursed under her breath. She had tried to give Geddo a chance to leave unnoticed, but he, apparently, wanted to fight. An arrow whizzed pass her turning face. She leaped back, stunned by the speed. Morwen decided on which thoughts were crazy and which would work. But somehow, the crazy idea might not lead her to death...

She sprinted between two more houses, her boots padded the stone silently through the night. The moon was completely overhead now, illuminating the shadows she had hid in earlier. The wind buzzed in her ears as she turned another corner, leaping up upon a roof the way she had done before. This time, she would be careful not to fall. Morwen bent low enough so her belly brushed the straw. A hole opened in the middle of the roof. This was the house they were on before...

[Jarad]

Geddo laughed. He jumped back and slashed at two gaurds. "Ha! You cant kill me. But first I have a messege for Henry." He said as he quickly dispatched a few of the gaurds. "Henry is to watch his back, for it is not I who will hunt him down, but his past." He was hit by a few of the attacks but knocked a few more of the navy men out. Then, he charged at the Admril and did a horizontal slash, very quickly even though his saber was heavy.

[ulyssar]

Lorian didn't really care to listen to the pirate. She heard him, and briefly registered who he was talking about, but there were heaps of Henry's in the navy., so she discarded the thought. It was him versus 20 highly trained soldiers. He wouldn't win this fight tonight...

Lorian parried away Geddo's sword quickly and as the momentum of his attack brought him forward, she lashed out and punched him in the nose as hard as she could. In the brief moment of surprise she had, Lorian moved forward and thrust the sword tip up into his neck once again. Some guards came up from behind and put their arms around him, binding him in place.

She breathed out heavily, "Lets try this again shall we. Move just one incompetent muscle of yours and I swear on this steel, I'll thrust this sword through your neck without a second's thought. Did you really think you could take on all of these men on your own!?"

She spoke to her lieutenant, without taking her eyes off the pirate, "Bind him in irons..." He moved quickly to obey...

ooc: I'm assuming that you're both going to escape somehow before the end... I'll just make it difficult for you ;D

[Kristen]

(ooc-hmm... you'll see)

Morwen crawled over to the op of the roof. The roof was very weak now and sagged as she put all her weight down upon it. She knew her stupid idea wouldn't work. With the sword's blade at Geddo's neck, he had o chance left. She brought up one foot and set it firmly on the straw. the other as well. Her body slowly rose up as she attempted to stand. Being on the top of the roof, she could see the guards, the Admiral and Geddo in a clear view, but was still at a safe distance.

She had fully stood up now, the moon casted a simple shadow down on the straw. "He's not the one you want. I'll be willing to make a trade. Him," She pointed her cutlass at Geddo," for me." She knew the Admiral would want proof of anything, so she opened the vest to reveal all the items she had stolen, but one. She had hidden a golden locket in her hair, hidden safely. The items glittered in the shining light of the moon. Her back was to the moon, hiding her face in shadows. Morwen thought a younger pirate would be a beter captive, for they still have a long life ahead of them. And there life's path could be changed easily...

(ooc-bet you didn't see that one commin ;D)

[ulyssar]

Lorian glanced over to the pirate standing on top of the roof. She had to say that she was very surprised. She hadn't expected there to be even the slightest whisper of honour in these pirates. Crude as they were, they were still human.

"Make sure those irons are tight Lieutenant," she took her blade away from Geddo's neck and turned towards the pirate on the roof, taking a few steps towards her. She then noticed the bright sparkling of her stolen items. "You stole those I would assume young pirate." She nodded to some of the guards who weren't near Geddo and they marched off up to the walkway to bring her down.

"Allow me to consider your proposal. You would throw away your life to save that of this man here?"

[Kristen]

Morwen's eyes shown brightly through the shadow of her face. She closed her vest again and put away her cutlass. She was surprised they actually agreed, and her expressionless face nodded as her head did. "Yes." But she didn't think of it as throwing her life away. Death might come as a penalty, but she would manage a way out of this situation, for she always did. She saw the guards coming around the slowly wearing away house. She stood there waiting...

[Jarad]

Geddo stood up. He pointed the sword at the navy men coming towards him. "Hey Admirl. Two things. Make sure that Henry learns my messege, also. You cant make a trade like this if I am bounded by irons. I wont attack, you just have to have honor also." dang it morwen, you are making this a lot more difficult then it should be. WHy did you come back? all this admirl is going to do is take us both away. Wait. Thats it. If she does take us both, it will help us out grately. Geddo thought to himself. He was sure that a navy officer wouldn't pass up the chance of taking two pirates in. He tried to move but fell, he was bounded in chains. "Wait? When did this happen?" Geddo must have been tied up while he was thinking.

[ulyssar]

"Lets discuss your proposition for a trade shall we? Personally, I want the thief I've been chasing around the city for more than a random pirate," The Admiral's mind was working like clockwork, deciding on a path to take.

"Bring her down here to me guards, don't bind her..."

[Kristen]

Morwen shook her head. "How do I know you will keep your word?" She backed away to the other side of the house to get some distance between the guards that came up. It would take them a while for all of them to get up here, for the straw was weak and the hole made it weaker.

The roof started to sag as the second guard stepped on. Morwen spun her head to look back at the Admiral. Her foot was planted on a rafter, staying steady so far.

[ulyssar]

The Admiral sighed, seeing the situation from the pirate's perspective for once, "I guess that you're just going to have to trust me."

The third guard went to step onto the roof, but as soon as he put his foot down, the area beneath his boot just crumbled away. He thought better of it and instead stepped down. The two guards who were already on the roof started to circle around the edges, seeing that they were the strongest points...

[Jarad]

Geddo managed to move himself into a position where he is sitting. ONe of the gaurdds kicked him. "Stop ssquirming stupid pirate." Geddo sighed. "Youngengs should pay more respect to their elders." Geddo said with a laugh. The gaurd kicked him again. "Hey! knock it off! These old bons of mine cant handle to many beatings. Besides I am just a simple old man." Geddo yawned. "Come on Morwan! I know you got some plan." Geddo said out loud laughing. He then rammed his body into a guard, but then the gaurds pulled out their weapons and aimed them at him. He sat down. "Ok, I wont cause any more trouble." Geddo spat.

[Kristen]

Morwen sighed. Was trust something to think about? Or was trust just a word that kept a bargain in line? Morwen stepped forward to the two guards that had climbed up to the roof. She wanted to show the Admiral she had this thing called trust by stepping towards them, giving herself in.

She was with in their arms length now. Carefully picking her way atop the rafters, straw making grip difficult. She heard Geddo's voice and thought; did she have a plan?

[ulyssar]

The guards took a hold of Morwen's arms and pulled her towards them. "Down the wall pirate," one guard said rather rudely. "Go to the Admiral."

Lorian put her hands together behind her back and stood in a very relaxed position, waiting for Morwen to approach her. The pommel of her sword was cupped in her hands, the blade pointing to the ground. This was the very first pirate she had ever seen who had any glint of honour in her... it amused her...
