Leuvaarden’s Rainy Pond

Fishermen Guild

Fishermen, a man who catches fish for a living or for a sport.

Rainy Pond Fishermen, a hearty man or woman with a passion for fishing, a hand in sailing, and a raging crave for adventure and top of the line action.

[!] You walk down to the docks of Leuvaarden. Faint shouts can be heard from a distance, shouts with a tune. The sounds become louder. You hear the pushing waves progress their way to you. Suddenly, a large fishing boat floats up and scoots it way to the dock. Ropes are thrown over onto the docks. Men hop out one-by-one and tie down the boat. A thick plank lands on the edge of the docks. Captain Ro'Dair marches off the boat. He lifts one finger, slowly, into the air. He releases a loud, hearty, shout and yells out a small phrase.

"THE WHALE"

The crew rushes over towards the back of the boat and unties the beast and move the lines over to the dock. The crew shouts and heaves and tugs the large animal onto the stone docks. It shrieks and woddles about. Captain Ro'Dair looks up from the whale to you. He gives a small wave. The Leuvaarden Rainy Pond Fishermen chant the guild's name and they drag the beast off and into the faintly tinted fog.


You wander into the fog. The chants can still be heard. Suddenly, they stop and it becomes quiet. As you approach closer, you begin to see the crew and its activity. They circle around the whale’s limp body and they kneel down, removing their hats. Captain Ro’Dair circles around the beast as he holds his hat to his chest.

“Teh’ Creator ‘as given us a gift lads. We’ve worked ‘ard and teh’ Creator ‘as noticed. It’s a blessin’.”


After the men finish their praise to the Creator, the crew hauls the whale off to the hall. Captain Ro’Dair puts his hat back on and begins to walk up. Out of curiosity you hurry over and tap his shoulder. He turns around with a smile and you both begin your conversation. After asking what the activity was about, Ro’Dair reaches into his coat and pulls out a rolled up piece of paper.
“Why don’t ye’ find out for ye’self.”


By untying the knot, you open up the piece of paper. It leaves you with the a few small questions.

Information about the Guild

After talking to Captain Ro’Dair or Alexandre Cossete, you’d be given a hearty welcome and a room in the Rainy Pond Fishermen Guild Hall. You’d be equipped with fishing poles and nets if you need. Aside from the Hall, you’d be given a ship rank.


Rank List


Captain

The man in charge of the boat and everyone on board. Normally gives orders. Whatever he says, happens, no matter how sketchy the situation may look.

Quartermaster

The Captain’s right hand man. Has almost the same amount of authority as the captain. Most orders will be given by the Quartermaster.

Navigator

The man in charge of estimating how far and long the travel will be. Often times steers the boat/ship. The Navigator would also map out any area that isn’t already mapped out.

Boatswain

Preps the boat/ship before sailing off. The Boatswain is in charge of checking the maintenance of the boat, such as inspecting the sails and initial integrity of the anchor.

Surgeon/Carpenter

Man in charge of repairing the ship of any damages, such as broken boards or ripped sails.

Rigger

It isn’t the safest job on the boat/ship. Riggers are the men that sit atop the masts and raise and lower the sails and run lines around the ship, keeping the ship’s masts stable.

Mate

A Mate is the average sailor. He would swab the decks when told to and cook for the crew when commanded to. Mates would be the men on the main decks that cast fishing lines and toss nets and cages.
