round 1 ends 19th Feb

A bloodhound's cry, a foxhound's trail. Nox and his crew followed the path taken by the saltwinter vixen that @Meredith and he had strengthened days prior until they harboured on the same gentle rise. The beach glittered below them, sands pink in the last rays of a setting sun. Darkness would cover them, give them the element of surprise, and for now the Captain pulled their bilge rat aside while the rest of his ship were left to ready themselves.

"Wear their guard down, let 'em think yer some piss poor rat, ay?" Together, they wove to where the scent of wolves grew thick. "We'll be right behind, just yell an' we'll strike." Molten eyes would watch her every move regardless, untrusting that she would follow through with their plan. A nip to her heels spurred her forwards, a lash of his tail as he slunk back to the treeline to address who remained.

"There'll be no killin' less I say so," his gaze found the rogue @Crowell in an unspoken threat, "but everythin' else is fair game." Meat, pelts, the traipsing siren herself - Nox shivered in anticipation. A final glance to the landlubbers @Firefly and @Hex; how would they handle their first proper taste of pirate life? Settling near @Farren, the Captain remained transfixed on the dark woman's shape as she faded into the gloom.
