The Undefeated Heart slowly rocked in the waves beside the Sweet Water as the beam of a lighthouse swept across the dark tides. When it flashed past them, Wazis face could be seen. Deep, short scratches covered his bruised cheeks. He moved gingerly, as each movement rippled across his wounded muscles. Nothing. Wazis words were slightly slurred, but he stood ramrod straight before the Ussuran Captain. Miscalculation on my part. Ivanovitch nodded and composed his features before handing over a clay-covered jar. I thought you might enjoy this. Wazi shuddered and glanced over his shoulder before he shook his head and whispered. No. I do not drink. At the others puzzled look, he said more loudly. No. I have no need of it. The whaler shrugged and asked, Why did you send for me? I need some leviathan oil. Leviathan oil? Stuff doesnt get much trade. Too flamible. Not planning on using it in lanterns, are you? No. Wazis terse answer cut off the Ussurans speculation. How much do you need? 300 barrels. The Ussuran whistled softly. Thats a lot of barrels. I only have two or three. I can get you that much, but it will take some time. How much time? Two months. I need it within two weeks. Two weeks? That will be...difficult. Itll cost you. I know. How much? One thousand guilders. With an exasperated sigh, the Crescent demanded, How much is that in real currency, Ussuran? 200 pounds of gold. 50 gold. Im not haggling, Im just telling you the price. Theres only one way to get leviathan oil. From leviathans. And to get that many barrels, its going to have to be a huge one or several small ones. Two hundred pounds of gold is the price. What if I throw in some Ussuran slaves? How many? I have 40 of them. Forty? I rescued all the ones you had! You did. When I discovered Id need leviathan oil, I traded with the some of the other captains. Alright, lets say 100 pounds of gold and the Ussurans. But Ill need the Ussurans up front. I need them on the oars. I can only release 10 of them for now.
Ill need some of the payment up front. Wazi thought carefully for a moment then nodded. Wait here. He strode across the deck and down below decks. A few nervous moments passed as Ivanovitch studied the cannons on the deck. When Wazi returned, he carried another thick clay object in his hands which he handed to Ivanovitch. The Corsair spoke in a low voice, That is a bottle of Marilo 22, one of only three surviving bottles. It is said to be the best vintage in the world. Vincenzio Falisci has offered 100 gold for the return of this bottle. The Corsairs paused and muttered under his breath. Better that than letting it burn. Ivanovitch looked uncertain. Thats all well and good, even if getting a Vodacce to pay is usually more trouble than its worth. Ill need the gold and Ussurans upon delivery. Done. Ivanovitch stared in Wazis eyes for another moment. What is happening? The Crescent shook his head and turned away. Blood from unhealed wounds had soaked into the back of his shirt. You dont want to know. But there will be blood and fire before it is over. Ivanovitch nodded slowly and turned away. He lifted the sealed bottles in his hands and called over his shoulder. Ill raise one for you, friend. Raise a prayer when youre done. The Corsair shuddered and went below again. *** Ivanovitch clambered down the ladder to his launch. Leaning close to one of the large rowers, he hissed, Get us back under our own guns, Sea Legs. I dont trust these Corsairs further than I can throw you. The man laughed softly and quickly began pulling towards the Undefeated Heart. Sea Legs OConnor rowed with the ease of long practice. What news, capn? Weve just been hired. Those slavers hired us? Capn, I know you traded some men away from them, but how much longer do you think you can trust them? As long as their fear of failing their leader is stronger than their need of new slaves. And how long will that last? Long after were gone. Now relax, Sea Legs. Weve made it this far and now were going back to our normal routine. Wenching? The captain replied with a smile. Whaling, you muscle-bound oaf. Weve been hired to obtain some leviathan oil. Leviathan oil? Thats not our normal routine. Theyre paying in bullion and another forty slaves. Weve got enough crew right now. We could use more gold.
Cards
Parting Shot, an on-line only expansion, was the last A.E.G. sponsered expansion for the 7th Sea Collectible Card Game. It was meant to provide some closure to the CCG storyline and also fill in the gaps to make each of the factions and secret societies as evenly playable against eachother as possible. As a special treat, it also included a sheet of blank card frames so that the game can continue to flourish within the 7th Sea fan community.
