● ● ● GOLD SAILS, RED SKIES: IC VOTING POST
The time has come to reveal some things about the second log. Before we get into planning, here is a quick recap of what has been discovered and shared:
• It is rumoured that the High Queen Lloria left means for her daughter to follow her to Dracness.
• The way magic is acquired is through a deadly illness which few survive.
• It is possible that Lady Catryn Spiertower is paranoid about the Kalain descendents still living.
• The High Queens were once protected by a beast, however that knowledge has since been forgotten.
• The beasts in question were dragons, and Dracness is their nesting island.
• Lloria took an artifact called Zefira's Gem with her when she escaped.
• The twin captains of the Hawking possess a map with a riddle inscribed on it.
• There are two girls, Hivin and Cian, the first aboard the Blue Dawn, who can help the orbers find Dracness.
• Cian was found aboard the Silent Plunder and has since defected to the Blue Dawn with Andy.
• The Hawking's captains currently work for Lady Spiertower in trying to find Dracness for her.

· THE LOG + THE VOTE
The second log will begin with Cian and Hivin being reunited, and helping the Blue Dawn find Dracness. It will include further exploration of the island itself, and the focused search for the orb. Possible altercations amongst the three crews may occur as all three ships will attempt to make their way there. How this will be handled will be detailed within the second log.
There will also be a combination of sign-ups regarding the orb and furthering the mission's plot. You can sign up for an NPC thread HERE or sign-up for an attempt to acquire the orb HERE.
Please note:
• NPC threads may be actual interactions, or they may be summarized like a search request.
• You can only sign up for either an NPC thread OR the orb thread, but NOT BOTH.
The team will also need to vote on the following below. Each character gets one vote to either suggest a solution or +1 one suggestion of their choice.
Please vote on the following:
What will your character do once your crew makes it to Dracness? Will you help your crew? Will you go against them? Will you strike it out on your own, or something else entirely?
Please write your suggestions as comments under the right heading, or +1 other characters' suggestions by responding to their comment. Remember you can only make suggestions on what your character is doing; if your comment includes the actions of other characters, they must confirm their participation with a comment.
If your character would ICly add something to a suggestion (offer magic, stealth, protection over someone or something, etc.) please also detail this in your comment as well as it will help colour the trajectory of the second log.
The vote will be open until AUGUST 30, 6PM GMT. You only have one vote per question, but if you end up wanting to vote for something else or edit your vote, you can do so until the voting closes.

on top of the plans above
Not to mention they probably won't be happy with some of their defectors running around.
So to that end, he plans on sticking close to the Plunder's crew when they arrive and keep in close communication with the Orbers to keep them wary of Greybeard and the crew's actions so the less times they have to cross paths, the better. Particularity the Blue Dawn as it looks like the Orbers want to prioritize them getting ahead.
He's good at taking charge so he'll easily slip into working along with his pirate crew and spearheading any excursions; he's got the same goal after all, find one of these alleged rare treasures. Only any legit leads about the "gem" in particular (if they come up) will be forwarded to his teammates over the network so they can check those out first. He'll let the Plunderer crew do whatever otherwise. Other treasures should (HOPEFULLY) sate their (and double hopefully Greybeard) lust for riches enough that they don't seem as desperate or like they're falling behind on the plundering.
... but also if it's not, Yzak's not above like, coming back from some explorations "alone" if he was with a couple of other Plunder pirates and they stumbled across something important that he wouldn't want getting back to Greybeard or came across another crew/Orbers and ended up in a skirmish. Or Yzak and a few Orbers being the sole crewmates returning to the ship if they head out in bigger groups. Obvs anyone on the murderboat can hop in for the fun!
Basically the Silent Plunder version of operation try to let the Blue Dawn get ahead. Where Yzak's focus is putting on that team determination to find these treasures while they orb hunt and let the Blue Dawn get ahead so Greybeard doesn't get suspicious of more mutiny. (haha unless...?)
+1
Should Yzak, or anyone not-orber, find something interesting, he would have no qualms about murdering anyone who might stand in the way of the orbers getting the orb.
+1
it'll also be useful to let them continue to dig something up and then quietly pass on anything to everyone else.
however if push comes to shove he'll have no qualms living up to the murderboat life.
+1
