A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

Ships Combat

Seeing the surrender of the pirates Michael will call out, "Col Chandar secure the priosners,, if even one resists slay them all"....Michael will then give brisk orders to have teh ships seperated in order to prevent the spread of fire etc and order the weapons to be collected and secured...He will do this as he makes his way to the defenders on the quarterdeck. "I do belive the day is ours..you may come down if you wish"

OCC: Driving back to jonesboro today so shaort posts is all i can do while driving

The last of the pirates are disarmed and the ships start to seperate. There is a blast from below decks on the burning ship and flames shoot into the sky. Men leap from the wreak as it burns more fiercely and the pumps are pushed to greater effort. Meanwhile the men of Tarkington's ship come from the quarterdeck to examine their own ship and aid their fallen comrads. The Captain comes forward to Michael his hit battered cutlass resting on his palm. He has taken several wounds. "I am Captain Grayson. I take it you are the Captain? I am I to be a prisoner. If so you may have my sword. We can fight no longer."

OOC: Do be careful!

Ships at Sea

"A pleasure to meet your sir, I am Captian Storm of the Retributio and to asnwer the question it would be no unless you are also a pirate"..Michael continues..."we were sailing to Bornholm when we saw the fight, one of my officers recongizned you flad and we guesed you have beset by pirates so we can to help" Then seeing the distress of the burning ship, Michael says "Please excuse me I am needed if we are to keep that hip afloat" Micahel will then add his own power into throwing blast of water/cold onto the fire with his eldritch blast in and attempt to snuff the fire. "Come on gentlmen, I did not have those pumps installed at great expense only to have them not be able to save that ship"

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Give me another D20 then.

"Well, you are a blessing indeed then Captain." He give you no time to reconsider and immedately sheaths his blade. "We were in dire straits I fear." Upon your comments about saving the other ship he nods, "That would make a fine reward for your trouble if we can save her." Raising his voice he adds, "To the pumps lads, lets get some more water on that sea wolf." His own few remaining men get their own pumps putting a little more water on the fire from this side. It is not much, but at least it allows you fight the fire on two sides.

"Your aid is apreciated" Michael will then turn and say "Pass the word have Lt. Guiesspe bring over some men to assist this crew...Col. Chandar we are going to be busy fighting a fire....shackel the prisoners and post a heavy watch on them........"Now lads....the pumps are not doing the entire tirck...lets go at it the old fahsion way with buckets..."

 

[Scotley]

The fight against the fire is considerably worse than the one against the pirates. After several exhausting hours you are finally able to put out the last of the flames. The ship is in a bad way, it was carrying a lot of olive oil seized from their last prize which made putting out the fire very difficult. The hull is fairly intact and the foredeck is largely undamaged, but the rest of the upper works and most of the lower decks are a total loss. You can tow her in, but she is in too poor a shape to sail. The ship was a merchantman somewhat larger than the retribution. It is likely that the pirates had taken her in a previous raid.

Sailing to Bornhelm

Thinking to himself "Just what I need a sixth ship to outfit and repair" Micael will none the less look at it as a gain. Turning to Captain Grayson he says "Thanks for your assistance." then turning his attention to the the prisoners he simply asks "Pirates"

 

[Scotley]

Chandar nods, "Yes Captain, I think it is a safe bet these are pirates. They all claim to be simple souls led astray by wicked officers all of whom just happen to be dead now."

Ships at Sea

"Very wll then Col. Chandar, we will need to take statments from each of them and have them make their mark etc on the page just in case" then turning to the Captian he says "Do you wish to exercise justice now or would you have me deliver them to Bronholme for justice"

 

[Scotley]

"I am content to let the Empire exercise justice in this matter. There has been enough killing here today." He gestures to doors leading to Cabins below the quarter deck. "Would you join me Captain. I'd like to offer you a drink and say thank you for your timely arrival."
