Added Admiral Charles Gallagher and his Flaaffy's in the Artwork section!
quick summary of what's happened so far IC:
The Woodworker & The Adventurer
* Isaac the Adventurer and Daniel the Woodworker find the fabled Wyron Woodlands
* Young Jon and Nick met when Daniel invited Isaac over for dinner, and so the basis for the Blue Bands crew is formed
* Daniel's crafting business prospers enough for him to take a ship contract, so the Safe Journey is created with the legendary Wyron wood
* Because ship-making is a lucrative business, the Trade Prince demanded more taxes from the woodworkers through the Poison Viper Pirates, and when they couldn't pay, the pirates kidnapped Nick's brother
Modistra
* Nick is on the trail of his little brother; he meets with Jon again after so many years and the two end up in jail, where they form the Blue Bands crew and break out
* Out of sheer dumb luck, the ship that Nick's family crafted is ported in Modistra, so they decide to steal it, and then go on a roll through town and recruit one of every role but a psychic
* Meanwhile, as Adrian is off to sea fighting with Amadeus who lured him out of the island, the marines under Air Marshal Basil have raided the Governor's castle
* The crew votes to go to the castle, as Jon tells them that there they'll find a map with the path of the Trade Prince's galley that they could rob and get rich, plus the treasure they would find in Modistra's castle
* The Blue Bands raid the castle, steal the map and belongings of the Governor, who the marines wanted to arrest for corruption, and then kidnap him because he ate the map
* Frag and the disturbingly strong Charmeleon blow up the Air Marshal Basil's Riefmore, making it crash into the castle; so the marines were unable to chase the Blue Bands when they left the island
Antigua
* Jon chooses Antigua, one of the islands on the edge of the Known World, to make his hideout; the crew splits up, each group with a different mission
* While Sam & Frag go up in the mountains, and Nick & Kayri go in the upper jungle, Jon & Cook go into the lower jungle, where they find Raphael, the aged Toucannon who failed to protect his family from the Big Fearow
* Sam & Frag meet with a psychic, Quetzalli, who has been living in the mountains; she helps Jon take out the Fearow, and as a result, Raphael allows Jon to build his hideout on the island. Quetzalli joins the crew as the psychic
Kuai
* Jon goes to the Captain's Ire, the infamous pirate-infested tavern of the island, where he meets a Lombre that tells him a crazy tale about a castle in the clouds
* Nick sends letters back to home and Anarchy's crew ends up on the shores of Kuai after their ship was sunk
* Sam's taken an assassination contract that he really wants to see through, so he's looking for dirt on his target to convince his captain she's bad enough to get killed. It turns out that the journalist (his target) is conspiring with the priest of Kuai to dismantle pirate influence on the island, all in the name of the Party God, the rogue pirate ruler of Osenia, who seeks to undermine the power of the Pirate Alliance
* Jon & Cook meet with Admiral Charles Gallagher, after Jon heard he was on the island, and work out a deal with him when he warns them that the score they have set their eyes on isn't as easy to take as they thought
* Nim is replaced as the Navigator by Anarchy who joins the crew
* The ship's hull and guns are upgraded
* The crew leaves for the south, as the target of the Blue Bands, Apolucia, is two weeks away from showing up to the path detailed in the schedule map that Jon has
