Session 2: Boner Bros

In short: Brawls, wrestling, and bonding aboard The Tempest's Temptation as the ship sails into "the choke."
Summary
After escaping the chaos at , the party boarded The Tempest's Temptation under the eccentric Captain Siren Shellsword. Fleeing Leilon unearthed deep trauma for Wild Fury, who recalled failing to save civilians from a dragon attack there five years prior.
Icarus's clumsy attempt to lure Blackjack with an illusion of gold backfired into a massive crew brawl. Watching Rik fight reminded Wild Fury of childhood memories with his father watching the wrestling hero "Bonecrusher" — happy memories that soured into panic. Rik came to his aid and the two bonded, dubbing themselves the Boner Bros.
Icarus proposed stealing the Captain's prized macaw (Polly), claiming it as a family heirloom, recruiting Blackjack, Rik and Wild Fury. Blackjack's conditions: they do it his way, and he gets the confiscated Sending Phone back. The plan drew the ire of First Mate Krell and Bosun Sauriv, who challenged Rik and Wild Fury to a tag-team wrestling match. Icarus used magic to aid his friends, but his attempt to influence the Captain was countered by the slimy Quartermaster Skum — revealing another magic user aboard. The Boner Bros won, but victory triggered another incapacitating flashback for Wild Fury.
Meanwhile a stealthy Blackjack followed the Captain and Skum below deck, overhearing talk of an approaching navigational hazard and the Captain's words: "we'll make it work, Skum, we always do." The session closed as the ship sailed into dense fog, approaching The Choke.
