Helm (2024)

Wacky cargo hold and the way to Burkeland

As The Helmer and Kypricus made their way in the cargo hold, The Helmer got curious as to how much Kypricus has seen during their escape from Blackwind cove.

The Helmer: So, how much exactly did you see when you were hidden in the cargo hold?
Kypricus: Not much, Ive seen the living room, the indoor garden with dead plants, and... a unreasonably high ammount of goose pictures and drawings all over the walls.
The Helmer: DO NOT question my connection to the goose, if she gets angry you wont be able to stay onboard.
Kypricus: What do you exactly mean by "she gets angry"

Before the helmer could answer, the entire cargo hold has entered a state of bassicaly an earthquake for 5 seconds

Kypricus: What the fuck?
The Helmer: Thats what it means, now I need to go calm her down thanks to you, just look around and find a room to sleep in, theres plenty.

After that The Helmer has left the cargo hold, leaving Kypricus alone inside the seemingly endless space.

Kypricus: Aaalright, now where the hell are the bedrooms?
As Kypricus went down the hallway, there was a set of 4 doors on her left, with windows leading to the dead garden on the right.
The first door contained a unreasonably high ammount of Dog sized Goose ship models.
Seeing this, mixed with the walls of both the hallway and the room being covered in pictures and paintings, Kypricus was heavily reconsidering her choice of joining The Helmers crew.
Kypricus: Now.. thats surely not a red flag.
After looking around the room, she eventually found a weird notebook, upon further examination she found something that only confirmed her suspicions.
Kypricus: Holy mother of Jesus.
As she stared in terror at the contents of that notebook, the goose entered another state of a violent earthqake, causing her to drop the notebook and run out of the room as soon as possible, slamming the door shut.
The violent "earthquake" inside the goose stopped as soon as she left the room.

After calming down, she made her way to the second door, after opening it she saw a room full of 120mm HEAT rounds, presumably for the stern gun.
Kypricus: So thats where he stockpiles all the ammo for that thing.
Out of curiosity, she tried lifting up one of the rounds as all of them were scattered around the room due to the previous "earthquakes" however due to her exhaustion and general lack of sleep, she could barely nudge it.
Kypricus: Guess I'll just leave it there.
As she left the room and went over to the 3rd door, she noticed something weird opposite of the door. A tall Ebony grandfather clock stuck on 6pm, out of curiosity she moved the arrows around, after accidentaly setting "3:30pm" the middle of the clock opened, revealing a seemingly custom made semi-automatic burkeland musket cut into a carbine made out of Lysian steel and blood oak.
Kypricus: That'll... come in handy I guess, rare find these days.

After this, she clumsily made her way to the 3rd door, opening it, she finally found a proper bedroom. Entering the room she put the carbine againts the wall near the bed, immediately jumping on the bed afterwards and going to sleep.

THE NEXT DAY

As Kypricus was still sleeping in the cargo hold, The Helmer and others already assembled on the deck.
The Helmer: Alright everybody, the plan for today is heading up north to Burkeland, getting some upgrades for the goose over there, and then head North East through meadowfleet to Inyola.
Viv: Why Inyola out of all places? arent they in middle of a civil war?
Zut: You surely arent considering joining up with either side are you?
The Helmer would look confused at the two
The Helmer: Ofcourse not, its just to get our hands on some Inyolan state of the art weapons.
Viv: I.. would still preffer us to not sail directly into a warzone.
The Helmer: We'll be fineee, they dont call me THE Helmer for no reason, I helm.
Zut: Lets just head out at this point, we'll decide what to do after we reach Burkeland, sounds good?
The Helmer: Yeah good compromise, I guess.
Viv: If we get in trouble in Inyola its on you though.
