John looked at their options of directions. His best guess was that the ship's captain would probably be on the aft-most part of the ship since that was where the bridge seemed to be. It was always good to affirm your assumptions though so, when he began to hear fast moving foot steps coming in their direction, John grabbed Jaydaar's weapon and ducked into the shadows and used his companion as bait. A pirate, wielding a [url=http://www.larpinn.co.uk/images/WP-1719.jpg]strange sword[/url], charged the lizard-like alien while screaming nonsensical statements that sounded more like raving gibberish than actual English. Once the lunatic had gotten close enough, the helmeted mercenary stuck his foot out and tripped the pirate before grabbing his wrist and moving it behind the pirate's back. In an instant, John had disarmed and pinned the pirate to the ground. [i]Time for the interrogation.[/i] [color=ed1c24]"Listen, we have an appointment with your captain and we'd appreciate it if you'd show us the way. We're a little new here and seemed to have lost out way,"[/color] he asked in a strangely polite voice.

We've been keeping him in holding for the last week and we haven't fed him since we captured him. I'm sure he's famished. There's plenty of pirates here to ask so I'm giving the option of talking or becoming Bonecruncher's next meal,"[/color] John bluffed, hoping that maybe Jaydaar would catch on and try to play the part.
