At the cliffs of Roaringshore, amongst the trade huts group of pirates dressed in weathered black and red gather. They appear to be preparing a poor stage, two barrels and a plank, for the Captain of Seawolf Brigantine. Kalma climbs on top of it and starts yelling and waving his hands in dramatic manner.
"Looking for fortune and fame? We are taking new sailors in our ranks! The summer raids are coming and breathren - Our crew have a juicy targets in sight! Roll a dice and sign up to the Hellstorm Crew!
Sixteen summers ol' - Strong enough to swing a sabre - Nay questions asked from the past! Freedom!"
The malnourished and ragged pirate captain looks around and continues his speech.
"...Not wanting to spend rest of yer life on waves? We are also hiring mercenaries to next incoming task! Veteran swordman and all sort of specilists sign in for this trip and fill yer pockets with gold and silver - The Hellstorms always pay!
...And if for some reason ye are unable to return, the person named by ye shall gain payment of yer work! Fairest deal of the whole Sword Coast!"

Some say that the captain also signed a deal with an upstart pirate captain originating from Waterdeep.
Both the Seawolf and another brigantine, the Throat Cutter, are preparing their crews for an undetermined adventure.
(The event, open to all levels, will take place tomorrow at 17:00 GMT)
The crewmen and the Captain of Seawolf has been sighted doing last moment recruiting of mercenaries and buying of fresh supplises at the piers of Roaring Shores. Barrels filled with weapons, crossbow bolts, rations and rum are loaded on long rowboats and shipped to the Seawolf.
"There is still time to sign in! I promise that ye haven't seen fight like this on the waves in ages. Make yer mark to the history and fight for the Hellstorm Crew!"
Samn steps out the lighthouse with a sandwich in his grasp. He curiously watches the preparations and listens intently to the captains speech.
After he is finished he aproaches the recruiter and states:
"Name is Samn. I be a Sorcerer of trades. Always on the lookout for oportunities. So i wanted to ask if you lot have need of arcane suport on your trip."
ooc: still possible to join in the event tonight?
Samn, watch your back young man Forsun, give the dog a bone then leave the dog alone

The captain addresses Samn: "Finger waggler, eh? I am sure that we can use another mageling to boost our ranks, welcome aboard! The payment for the trip is a share of loot and for mercenary like ye six thousand pieces of Amnish gold. - Payment after the trip."
He is already turning to leave, but he stops and turns back to face the mage. "Is there anyone ye wish to testament yer payment and share if ye aren't to return?"
///Yep! It is still possible to join up, in game or by forum RP.
Samn nods. Terms agreed, Sir. Though i plan very much on coming back you may send my remains to a certain Dwarf by the Name of Khentor.
I will stay in town for the next few days.

The most known faces of the crew are talking light-heartedly about the task at hand. Some not-so-known mercenaries are joining up as well with the group.
