Yea, I haven't read recent posts after mine yet, but being drunk alone would be grounds enough for her to execute someone, but being drunk, lazy, stupid, Bianca would have been outraged. Now Bianca is sure to want to kill her prisoners and then lie to Nym that she never took any prisoners.

Good luck trying to lie to Nym xD
I suggest you to take one of the humans of her crew to lie to them, as, you know, Nym sees minds and all :p

Well, there is a second way, Sky Pirate Law is pretty much "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" kind of law. So one way or another, someone has to pay for the crew members death.

Some quick notes!

1. Focus on character development, not fight scenes. A lot of the characters seem rather shallow and that makes them dull to work with.

2. Prison builds character. Some prisoners may try to fight their way off, others will attempt bribes, and some even bide their time. If your character is a planner, then you might spend the time exercising and gathering information. If your character is impulsive, then random acts of violence may be more your thing. Just keep in mind that stupid actions will have consequences.

3. Not everyone has to die. It is perfectly fine to wound or knock guards unconscious. Killing a guard to escape might seem like a good idea, but a smart prisoner would knock the guard out or otherwise incapacitate him. Escaping is difficult, and a dead guard is a quick way to be killed on sight.

4. Dead or mostly dead? Nike did a rash thing by killing a guard. I think the guard is only mostly dead. Chances are that they have technology enough to repair the damage, provided he gets immediate medical attention. It's not much, but it should keep Nike's character alive.

5. In my last post, Grif began constructing the SPEW Gryphon IV.

6. I think that both Pirates and Ninjas should use the momentary pause to talk to their superiors. It might be an interesting story if the Captains were chastised for being run off by a measly little fleet, populated by writers. These Captains might know the danger, but their superiors might send in new commanders who are A) Ignorant of the danger and B) Self-assured pricks that deserve humiliating defeat.

7. Also, reinforcements should arrive.

Trust me, Bianca and Nym are the oldest characters in this SB, if your character is not older than about 20,000 human years then there should be no one who knows Bianca's past. And thus come time for Bianca to execute Nikes character, a small amount of Bianca's and Nym's past, and trust me it's something your not expecting.

If you, LoyalHeart, allow your character to kill Nike's character, then you will have committed the single most heinous action a storybook author can commit: murdering another authors active character, without permission. It is the worst type of god-moding and Nike would be correct to take it as a deeply personal insult.

Bianca can threaten to kill Kiera, she can even attempt to. She can not, however, succeed. Killing her would be a massive breach in storybook etiquette. If you do so, then I won't recognize that post and I would encourage other authors to follow my example.

I doubt anyone will be killing anyone just like that.. If nothing else, Nym won't allow it, and I would jump on it momentarily as well.

While talking, Griff, the Device? 8) Will you be using it? If so, the there might be another way to defeat Nym, besides the one I have thought of. Probably.

Grif, I know this is the first time I've storybooked with you, and that your Global/Distinguished Moderator, but I know the rules and been in 30+ storybooks before. I have plans forming, what those plans are? You'll have to wait and see, this is for character development for Bianca and revealing something I hadn't in Bianca's history.

@LoyalHeart, I'm looking forward to reading what you come up with. From the previous post, it sounded like you were about to go off and casually kill Nike's character. I wanted to make sure that didn't happen.

@AriaAdams: The Device is in use currently to begin constructing the SPEW Gryphon IV. It uses creative energy to build whatever an author is imagining, in the case of Grif, a spaceship.

This device is fairly special, so please talk to me before you use it.

Yup // I'm mildly proud of that post. (me and MM had talked about this type of thing beforehand - I didn't just hijack Bianca. Well, not entirely)

~ Tell me if I need to change any of that MM. I figured I could make that post all on my own, without the introduction. How does it look? :D

Just one little thing. Mari is dead, and Kiera is one of the hostage :P

I'm going to post today, yay!

Yea between Mercury and Nym, Bianca is going to be a well developed character, since she has to go back to her homeworld someone is close to Captaining the Ice Star, I'm considering who'll become the next Captain of the Ice Star. If I can't pick one then, I'll have Bianca and Mercury's Child be heir to the Ice Star and Throne.
