stPLXNES4: Drink and the Devil

UPDATE 2 - Flowers and Tin Upon the Burning Sea

Captain Jack Sparrow, after a successful raid on the native settlements on Pé Etranje, returns victorious to the Fleurian Colonial Capital of Gran Apreu. He collected his fee from an unnamed party and sold eight strong slaves at Ð50 each.

Captain Bent successfully delivered his cargo of Coffee Beans to Dakagee as he prepares to return to Iles Aléz.

Captain Schwarzehand's crew arrived in Rouj without incident, with the exception of a narrow collision with rocks in the straights of Witten, after the severe punishment of all crewmen involved in the rape of a native girl on Fanatique. (+1 Stamina to Captain Schwarzehand)

Captain Silver contracted a new ship to be buit out of St. Blaise harbor and successfully delivered a large load of Sugar to Gras a Dye for Mr. Corjin.

Captains Roddy and Simpson fabricate an elaborate story in order to steal a large sum of gold in process of being moved from Fleurian to Etainish colonies to be used to postpone a war nobody wants. The Fleurians believe that the Etainish attacked and stole 250 lbs. of gold from the hull of Captain Simpson and that Captain Roddy's ship The Risker had been sunk, yet he is actually in Etainish colonies telling the Fleurians that Mr. Agache only sent 250 lbs., causing the Etainish to think that the Fleurians were attempting to short change them. Tempers flare as Etainish and Fleurian diplomatic ties continue to strain.

Captain Blackbeard begins the long journey to Iles Bani, while the navies of the great empires move to secure the island.

Captain Hunt travels with a large amount of slaves in his hull from Abriko to Ivé, docking in Dakagee to resupply.

Captain Alexander, a new pirate on his own, makes a delivery of slaves, sans-snaffu.

Captain Bent

Mr. Crauin had become the primary employer of the Little Betty. His jobs were profitable and clean.

-sail to Iles Alèz and load the 5,000 lbs. of Mangos
 
Good to see you again Mr. Agache, we would like to once more take the slaves from Ive to Dakagnee again. What do you say?
 
The executive quarters of the Black Eagle was silent as Captain Scwarzehand entered. His men rose from their seats and saluted smartly. The Captain returned their salute and motioned for the men to sit.

"Gentlemen, in eight hours set sail for Abriko. When we first arrived in the Colonial Sea, we proclaimed ourselves businessmen, seekers of fortune. Until now, our business has been trading, shipping the goods of others. Not tonight. Tonight, our mission is the execution of armed force against our enemies for profit. We will make flank speed for Abriko and once there will commence assaulting the city. In one hour's time I will be briefing the crew on the specifics of the plan of battle. Are there any questions?" There were none. "Excellent. Dismissed."

One hour later, the Captain had his crew assembled on the mess deck. "As you know, we have successfully completed the task of shipping a cargo of mangos to this island. You have all done well, and for that you have been rewarded. However, mango-transporting is not the mark of a soldier at sea. Every one of you has proven a good hand at your post. You are skilled sailors, skilled navigators, skilled traders. Now we will test your mettle at the breech of a gun. Tonight we set sail for Abriko and the riches of its colonial capital. Here is my plan."

"We will approach the port city under cover of darkness. We will come to within gun range flying friendly merchant flags. The major obstacles of Abriko are its harbor defenses, its sentry house, and the warships stationed in its harbor. Now, the first threat will be the sentries. If they detect us, they will be able to raise the alarm and get forewarning to the fortress. If the cannoneers of the fortress have time to ready their guns, we are done for. Therefore, I will send a party of 10 men ahead of the ship by boat. They will row covertly into the harbor, armed with personal weapons, and will launch a surprise attack against the sentries. If they can kill the sentries before any alarm is raised, the ship can enter the harbor without worry. Once that is accomplished, we will lay our broadside in the direction of the harbor fortress. A certain unnamed gentlemen in the market here was kind enough to supply me with detailed plans of the Abriko fortress. Their guns are almost all clustered in a single position; if we can accurately hit that location with iron shot, we can knock out their guns before they have the chance to shoot back. Now, once their guns are disabled, the main raiding party will go ashore by boat, under suppressing support fire from the ship's guns. Raiders, your mission will be thus: attack and breech the colonial governor's residence in the center of Abriko City. It is full of riches beyond our wildest dreams. It is also well-guarded, so you will need to be careful. The starboard guns will attempt to lay down a covering fire against the guard barracks of the Residence. This should suppress or destroy most of the Guard. Once inside the residence, you will proceed to collect gold, silver, gems, and others valuables, as you see fit. You will refrain from using extensive force against innocents; the Governor and his family are to be left unharmed, and the various domestics, maids, and ladies-in-waiting are to be untouched as well. Should any male of the household attempt to resist you, you are authorized to use only as much force as is needed to neutralize him. As this is going on, the I will direct the gun decks towards the enemy's men-o-war that are in harbor. We will pump them full of hotshot (OOC: incendiary shells) to ensure their destruction and to provide light for the raiding party ( ;) ). When I believe our time is up, I will fire a starshell over the Residence as a signal for the raiding party to return to the ship with whatever they have captured. You should all know that taking female hostages for your own uses will not be tolerated. Do not bother with rape; the money we take in this venture will buy us all a woman when we make it back to the South Colonial Sea. Undertsood? Very well. Men, to your stations. Make full speed for Abriko."

Orders:
-Sail to Abriko and deliver the Papayas. Then loiter offshore from the island for a day or so. Once we've layed low for about a day, begin approaching Abriko again. Time it so's we approach Abriko Harbor around 2 AM. Launch the raid as per the instructions above. Once the raid is complete, make for St. Blaise at full speed, and hide out their until things cool down.

ok, first thing is first. i've gotta appologise to Naervod. i had meant to get his agreement to that evil plan of mine before having it executed, but i guess either he didnt see it or hadnt logged on since i posted it.

To Mr. Corjin:

To Captain de Santos:

Naervod told me he was for it over AIM right before the update.

Captain Bent loaded a shipment of Mangos at Iles Alèz.

Captain Schwarzehand delivered a load of Papayas to Abriko, and at the same time, prepares to raid the same port.

Captain Alexander delivered a standard load of slaves to Dakagee without incident.

Captain Sparrow saved up for a new ship to deliver a load of guns behind the Etainish sphere of influence.

Captain Silver christened his ship The Silver Teeth, and it delivered a shipment of fruit to Gras a Dye, while his flagship, The Silver planned a raid on the sparsely populated Loray.

Captains Roddy and Simpson, in the final act of their deception, sell their gold to a man of ill reputation for a tidy sum of Đ4,000.

Captain Hunt of The Cronos delivers a shipment of 30 Slaves to the Fleurian port of Ivè.

Captain Taa'u, a newcomer to the Colonian Sea, does his first job for Mr. Agache.

Tensions between the Etainish and Fleurians reach the breaking point. The next event could be the proverbial straw. Barajois and Citerians see oppritunity in this conflict for territorial and commerical gain.

To Mr. McRae:
Hello, my good sir. Until now we have not done business together; I wish to change that. I hear you have a shipment of slaves in Abriko that need to get to Ive. I am currently the only captain in the Abriko area. I could quickly and easilly get your slaves to Ive for 1000 doubloons. Furthermore, as a Barajois, I will not face the problems many Etains or Fleurians might have in these waters, what with the coming war and all. I offer my services and those of my ship and crew. Do you agree?
