Threads of more than two are welcome and encouraged.
 

1.  Boarded:  Your ship has been boarded, and as captain you've been captured!  Better hope the other captain gives quarter.  Alternatively, it's a nice warm day for a swim.  That plank was made for walking.

2.  Victory:  You've captured another ship!  You knew those extra cannons would come in handy.  And let's hope they've got lots of swag!  Where's the captain? Are you the decent sort, or are you going to rub their face in it for a bit?

3.  Swab the decks:  You're a cabin boy!  It's a good thing you don't mind doing all the dirty work, right?  Anyway, the captain's calling; better see what they want.

4.  Marooned:  For a bit there you'd thought you were in Davy's Jones' grip, but somehow you've washed ashore with the driftwood.  As you stare dazedly up from the surf, you have questions.  Where are you?  And who's that already on the shore?

5.  Buried Treasure:  Sink me! You've really found the mother lode. . . but you're not the only one.  Who gets to take the treasure back to their ship?  Better make sure it's you.

6.  Rum:  Rum, everywhere. 

7.  Swordfight:  It's that person you can't stand!  And they've taken your most valuable possession, that one of a kind thing you just can't live without!  Better get that trinket back before it and your nemesis are gone over the side forever.  Let's hear some swashes buckling.

8.  Mutiny:  The tack is full of maggots and this drinking water may as well have come from the gutter.  There's one person to blame for this, and you're here to make especially sure that they pay for it.  The captain does always seem to take the best treasure before everybody else.

9.  Kidnapping:  Don't they look rather peaceful, innocent even, sleeping so soundly there with their fancy nightclothes and pillows.  Brings a tear to your eye, it does.  Better take them aboard and send for a ransom.

10.  Take a Gamble:  Gotta spend your loot somehow, but it must have been the rum that had you bettin' everything at once!  You've lost to your hornswagglin' shipmate; what did you lose, and what will they make you do now?

11. Under the Sea:  You are now a Mermaid/Merman!  That sailor over there sure looks appealing; let's see if you can lure them in with your charms.  Don't forget that they can't breathe under water!  You do seem to always forget, don't you. . .

12.  Enemy from the Deep:  What was that?  Did you feel that?  An unseen enemy is about to take this ship swiftly to the bottom of the ocean.  Giant squid, enormous whales, sea serpents . . . hope you make it.

13.  The Doldrums:  Can you say cabin fever?  The sails haven't moved in weeks.  You're about seeing if your mates can relieve this awful boredom.  And hopefully find some food and water.  Don't squabble over it, now.

14.  The Brig:  Something you did has gotten you imprisoned in the very depths of this ship.  How long until you see your next meal?  When you see who put you here again, you'll make them pay.  Hold on, maybe there's someone else here too.

OR

Make up your own!  Arrrrr!

yes same

[What with Han up in the rigging, he's too far away to actually see Chewie's eye-rolling. On the other hand, he probably doesn't need to, given that there's enough of it in his comment; as clear a "What with?" as anything.

He'll admit that re-running the line would probably have been better, but Han's comment cuts off anything else he might have had to say. If they've got company the last thing they have time to do is take down all the sail and rig it up again. Even if that would just mean putting the half-rotted rope somewhere else.

Instead, there's a grunt that's one part "shit not those guys" as he glances back at their pursuers and one part "you got it."

Time to run, and hope their luck holds long enough - if Han wants the wheel, Chewie will give it up gladly, but since there's no sense waiting in the meantime he's already turning the Falcon so that the jib's to windward.]

[ It takes the Falcon a few fits and starts, but she starts to take up the sail, and from there on goes, cutting through the water and beginning to pick up speed. Han makes sure that the rigging, as rotted as it is, holds, and with a deep exhale and a prayer she seems to find her swiftness again. The Imperials, which had been gaining, are slowly starting to lag behind further and further. The banks ahead, however, give him pause. there is such a narrow channel, trying to slide out of the Anoat was always a challenge and with the weakness in their rigging, it would be tough to try and navigate.

Still speed was on their side, and if they could clear the channel they would be home free on the open ocean, and able to skim along the coast for a friendly cove to hole up in and effect repairs. ]

Baby? Hold together.

[Chewie murmurs something under his breath as the Falcon fits and starts, too quiet to really reach Han's ears, but it's more or less the same thing as his later comment. Once she starts to pick up speed it's a relief. They're not in the clear yet, but there's time enough for a the slightest flicker of hope.

The channel isn't going to be easy though. But it's their best hope; it's narrow enough the Imperials will have to follow one by one - as long as they can keep out of range of the first ship's cannon, they'll have it.

The Falcon slides easily into the channel, very nearly belying the weakness in her rigging. That's the easy part. The hard part is staying clear of the banks, and Chewie's knuckles are very nearly white around the wheel as he pulls every bit he can out of her. Better still, the Imperials are still lagging behind and with every hard-won foot they gain the open ocean draws closer and closer, bringing with it tiny flickers of hope.

It's up to the rigging, now, and if Chewie's fallen silent it's only because he can't spare the concentration for even his usual grumbling.]
