The Ironfang Pirate Fleet - The Plunderblades and the Portwreckas, part 5

Docker Goff and The Plunderblades

Under the command of Kaptain Borgoth, Megaboss, the Plunderblades are a rowdy bunch of inexperienced sailors. But they are handy in a fight, so the Kaptain has tasked Docker Goff with getting them at least "capable" when it comes to the skills needed aboard a sky-ship.

For now they always seem to get in each-other's way, pull on the wrong ropes, or misunderstand their orders in new and unexpected ways.

You might remember Docker Goff and Mr Flea as they have both been covered here before.

Docker Goff
Goff was a rather mercenary pirate who worked on several different ships over the years. Strangely, none of the Kaptains he briefly followed seemed all that bothered by this at all and he came and went as he pleased.

He was superstitious and always weary of ill omens, which he saw everywhere. Whenever he met new shipmates he wanted to exchange news about other crews and places they'd been - he always assumed his listeners knew them even when they clearly didn't.

After his time serving aboard the Swordfysh, he was one of the most experienced members of the crew aboard the sky-ship Plunderblade. As such the Kaptain made it clear that it was his job to get the others up to scratch.


Mr Flea the drummer 
Also served on the Swordfysh and Goff trusted him. He never got round to updating the flag painted on his drum.


+++

Morhog Nok
Never looked where he was going and always assumed everything was someone else's fault.





+++

Mizzen Grom
Loved the idea of swinging on a rope in a boarding-action. Had never actually done it.





+++

Urdo Thwart
Loud, talkative and didn't ever listen.





+++

Dakko Strake
Believed he was reliable and competent, even though there was little evidence of either.





+++

Skarlud
A frenzied loon.





+++

Drabbler
A dirty fighter who enjoyed forcing opponents into making mistakes.





+++

Gundeck
Extremely aggressive and short tempered.





+++

Hogline
Probably the most capable sailor of the bunch, but very argumentative.

I'm going to try Kaptain Borgoth and The Plunderblades in Warcry at some point. I doubt they will be a very good warband competitively but I think they might be fun!
