Katara looked over the body of the berserker. Then to the pirates who had died in his vile name. "Let's get out of this place..." she said soberly. Her mind wandered to Kenshin. Now that they had done their duty, she would hopefully see him soon. She looked at the one pirate who was bossing them around. "You'll let him go, your my blade will get to have a nice view of the inside of your throat," she said, motioning her sword or Roscanza.

"Very well." he loosened the grip on Raen. "But you haven't seen the last of me." He started to walk away when he noticed a bush move. "So that's how the captain would no if I succeeded, through spies!" He walked quietly to the bush and was about to swing his but recognized a pirate from his group. He looked over to find the other pirate and found him behind another bush.
He spat. "Get up you cowards! If there are any spies from our captain and if we don't find them we're dead. You search over there and I'll search here." He quickly looked up wondering if those people were still hanging around and saw a pirate quickly leave a bush and enter another one.
"Aha," he readied his hand axe started walking toward there.
O.o.c. I'll finish it later so the post doesn't get long.

Raen was free, and the pirates were moving around like crazy, looking for something or someone.
"So, how are we supposed to get out of here?" he asked to no one in particular, but loud enough for the entire group to hear.
"Swimming would be suicidal. The currents would most likely drown us before we get to the shore"
"Any ideas?"

Quickly calming down after Raen was released, Saru walked over to him and clapped him on the back. "Well, that was intense. How 'bout we never do it again?" he asked the archer. Turning to the others, he offered his thoughts on their leaving. "Well...maybe we could find a small boat or something and steal it. I mean this is an island of pirates, and pirates should have ships, right?"
Then, jokingly, he said, "Unless you have some way to call that old guy from before? Have him teleport us out of here?"

As Roscanza attempted to sneak over, the pirate saw him and started running away.
"Dang it" Roscanza spat as he chased after him. He threw his hand axes and missed but the pirate slowed down a little. When the pirate looked back to see if he was still in pursuit, he tripped over a rock. This made Roscanza catch up considerably.
The pirate got up and the the 2 clashed axes. The other pirate was considerably stronger but Roscanza was considerably smarter. He jumped back as the spy thrusted at him which made the spy miss and lose balance. Taking advantage he swung his axe in the spies face knocking him to the ground.
The spy moaned greatly but Roscanza didn't care. "Tell me how many spies the captain sent and I'll ease your passing."
The spy moaned, "Five, including me."
After cursing about how many the captain sent he finished the pirate. "The best option is to head close to the base and wait for them to come back to report. Then pow." He started sprinting toward the base.

Alexia sighed, then winced as the action jostled her wound.
"Yes, I have an idea," she replied, digging in her belongings for her vulnerary. The wound felt like fire under her armor, and she would need a healer or she would be in trouble. The last thing she wanted was to be sidelined due to an infection. "We need to find a pirate ship."
She dug the vulnerary out. "Then we can find some way of bartering our passage. Perhaps we can gather enough money. We may even be lucky enough to find someone willing to give us a ride." She sprinkled some powder on her gaping wound. It helped, but not enough. "And if it doesn't work, you kill the captain," she told Matis. "Thus making you commander of the ship, and forcing them to take us ashore. Naturally you will give up your vaulted post to the most worthy pirate."
She tucked her vulnerary away and rested on the pommel of her saddle.
"Let us hope it doesn't come to that."

Matis couldn't help but laugh at the last remark, but that made the gash in his right side hurt, as well as the one on his arm. "Remind me to see a healer once we hit shore" he said, and quickly added a "No thanks, Alexia", once she offered him her vulnerary.
"So, we'll just walk along the shoreline and see if we come across a boat, then. Let's move" he said, as he started walking towards the seashore. They had got somewhat far from it after being led to Durban.

Quickly regaining his grasp on reality as the pirate disappeared, Raen fell in with the group and commented to Saru, "Yeah, sure... for awhile anyway " he winked. "But you better pick up, calling me the slowpoke? ha, I've never seen someone more tired for running less than 50 feet before" he playfully poked Saru in the shoulder and continued to walk with the group towards whatever form of a ship they could find.

As they got closer to the shore, Katara gasped. "It's been so long since I've been to the ocean. I forgot how beautiful it is..." she said. "Never mind me though, we need to find a ship, huh? We'd have more luck if we found a port town or something.." she added. She looked around. There was some smoke coming up into the air somewhat far off. "There," she said, pointing to the smoke. "It' probably a chimney, or several to be that large of a plume. There may be a town there," she told the group.

"Good thinking, Katara" he said, as he too turned towards the column of smoke.
"It's...weird, though. I thought almost no one lived in these islands, save for pirates, who spend most of their time at the sea" he said, as he started walking towards the grey mass.
"Just make sure not to be seen once we are close. We're walking directly into enemy territory here"

OoC: hope you all weren't waiting for me...
Alexia nodded, agreeing with Matis and Katara.
"We're weak and wounded as it is. The last thing we need is to run into someone who wants to fight us. If you're not horribly wounded," she turned to see just who qualified, "then stay on guard. The wounded should hang back. No need to risk lives."
She flicked Night Flight's reins and stated towards the town, trying not to fall off her horse.

Saru agreed with the others, and looking around, noticed that it looked like Dirk, Raen, and Katara had escaped with the least amount of damage. As he walked he turned to Raen. "Me? A slowpoke? And just who was fighting to keep the enemy off of you, eh?" Saru asked, a grin on his face. Sobering up, he said, "Let's just hope that we don't run into anymore pirates. Hopefully, we can get to the town, do whatever we need to do, and then find a way to get off of this island."

Dirk nodded at Alexia, then he whispered to his horse, "Come, Kabold, to the front of the group and look out for strange people." The horse neighed in response and moved ahead obediently.

Roscanza rushed back until he could see the base. Panting like crazy he fell to the ground. He crawled to some tall grass where he was hidden. He felt his wounds from that mercenary. "I'll get revenge on that person eventually." It was then when he noticed another pirate heading back to base.
"Let's hope he's one of the spies." He stood up and swung his axe which felled the pirate. he looked around wondering why there were no pirates around here. It was usually packed. "They must be getting ready for a ship voyage for plunder."
"Well I really hope the other two pirates killed the spies." He headed over to the base to get admittance.
