The cannon’s muzzle was lashed tight to its housing bolts, angled up some forty degrees to point the weapon up into the hull rather than the closed gunport, and its train-tackles were hauled taut. Darragh finished looping the rope-end around the barrel and the breeching rope, giving his paw-work...

As Darragh listened, his joyful expression faded. He passed from blissfully happy to thoughtful, then pensive. He blinked at Eskila, and felt a wetness in his eyes, which rolled down his cheek fur onto his pillow. Eskila’s face wobbled and melded into an oil-painting palette of browns and...

Darragh squatted in the three-way ring between himself, Prizzack and Greeneye. He hesitated, looking to Greeneye to see if the searat was eager to answer first. Then again, with the barest little Darragh knew of Greeneye’s past, he couldn’t blame the former pirate for being reticent. Since both...

Finny’s lips were drawn back into a snarl through the rope gagging him, his fur fluffed out in terror just as bad as Darragh’s. The foxkit was squirming in his bonds, fighting for his very life. He was yelping something, and Darragh’s brilliant powers of poetic free-association immediately...

Portrait for Hashwin 'Hazie' Freemont, my pine marten noble and certified Hero of the Imperium!

A reference sheet giving the general proportions, colours and style of Darragh Harper, at least in my own imagining of what creatures in this world might look like.

Darragh watched each body splash down to their deep ocean grave. Too many. They sank quickly, weighed down by the cannonball at their footpaws, never to return to a friendly shore. Yet that was sentimentality on Darragh’s part, he knew - wherever they were now, the dead were surely unbothered by...

The Hide had a new captain, new orders, and a new adventure waiting on the horizon. Naturally, some turn-of-the-season cleaning was in order, and that had kept deckswabs like Darragh Harper firmly planted snout-to-deck with scrubbing, mopping, polishing, and dusting. Since the stoat resembled a...

Darragh nodded in complete misunderstanding. Map-reading was not his strongest skill, even at times when he didn’t feel like his brain had checked out of his skull for a late breakfast. There were some blocks between the S (Shoppe?) and the X (Eskila’s place? A secret clubhouse in a basement?)...

Darragh glanced sideways at Greeneye. He knew the searat was only five or so years older than him, but the scars of his past made him seem so much older. His frowning, one-eyed glares, the way he stumped about on his metal prosthetic leg, his hook always ready to gut a beast… Darragh looked...

The young poet quickly tugged the brim of his cap, his face near enough shining with joy at Captain Stowett’s words. Darragh was to make Able Seabeast (provided he didn’t forget absolutely everything in the next fifteen minutes), Swifttail had been made Engineer, Kaii was a proper commissioned...

Darragh sat back up and nodded along slowly, even as he grew less sure of what Eskila was saying. His aching, sleepless body had been promised soothing lullabies and possibly petting between the ears, and it was started to protest more firmly against this continued intellectual discourse...
