Campaign: Skyjacks

James sits down with Aaron Catano-Saez and Drew Mierzejewski to talk about the mysterious yet wholesome subject of Necromancy on Spéir. Jeff Stormer is not in this recoding, therefore we don't have the franchise rights to call this All My Fantasy Skyjacks. Please refrain from thinking of it as such so we don't get sued.

With the vote complete and Orimar's Captaincy reaffirmed, Orimar has one last thing he's like to do before the Uhuru heads to a new port. He'll need help from everyone in his council in order to do it.

With the dead tended and their spoils won, the crew of The Uhuru must re-affirm their commitment to their captain. He may have died, he may have spent months reclaiming his body, he may have been betrayed by members of his council and crew, but this victory makes one thing clear: Orimar Vale is back. To reaffirm his captaincy, a vote is required.

The crew of the Uhuru readies two funerals while the captain's council participates in an impromptu gift exchange with the spoils of their recent conquest. Travis suffers a familiar but long-forgotten pain when lending the Captain a hand. Meanwhile, Jonnit and Gable find solace below deck, in their respective unexpected ways. Then, it's time to lay their friends to rest.

The Silver Bullet, led by Captain Armond Winchester, remains at the mercy of the victorious Uhuru crew. Captain Orimar Vale has made an offer: "Kneel to me as your king and the benevolence shall be provided." Winchester has an answer, alongside a warning. The man who hired him is no stranger to Captain Orimar, and his sinister intent is more than passing fancy...

After rallying from a coordinated surprise attack and mutiny to an overwhelming victory, the Captain's Council of The Uhuru and Orimar Vale specifically, have an important decision to make: What should they do with their contoured adversaries? This was a calculated attack, Uhuru lives were lost. They cannot appear weak. At the same time, The Silver Bullet is a corsair ship, even if they are not with The Tempest Armada they attack with less malice and brutality than Red Feathers...

Even with the enemy ship disabled, the battle is far from over. Jonnit, Jane, and Pliff square off against the last wave of birds sent by The Silver Bullet in an attempt to capture the featherweave jettisoned by the Rowdy R's. Meanwhile Orimar and Travis battle the remnants of the Rs in the cargo hold. Even with reinforcements, battle is uncertain and good people can lose their lives. Gable steps in to save their precious baby birds.

Jonnit tries to right himself after dealing a devastating blow to the Silver Bullet, but the fight still isn't over as the Rowdy Rs have managed to push the remaining Civility featherweave out of The Uhuru's cargo doors– and deployed griffins to capture it. Thankfully Jane and Pliff have finally managed to launch Flea and Lucas to join the fray. Orimar is now surrounded by Rowdy Rs who realized they have no exit. Thankfully as the captain, he can call for backup.

After suffering a devastating blow to their furnaces at the hands of saboteurs who coordinated with the Rowdy Rs manipulation of the crew schedule to sneak into The Uhuru's sails the crew scramble to recover. Gable works to keep the ship aloft while giving Nodoze the chance he needs to aim the grapple. Travis continues to put down Rs while revealing more features of his Japanese! (Italian) gun. Orimar chases Rocco to the cargo room in order to claim his revenge...

Jonnit pulls away from the enemy griffin riders as they chase The Uhuru and sets his sights on a counteroffensive against The Silver Bullet. Pliff through sheer determination to help the rest of the crew, pulls himself back into the ship to face the Rowdy Rs. Gable plays a dangerous game to bait the bullet into a lower altitude battle and use the dangerous waters of the river delta to their advantage. Travis and Orimar wor to pursue the Rs and their leader Rocco into the aviary...
