UPDATE 4​

PIRATES​

Captain Sparrow built a Cutter, christened the Saucy Mare. Then proceeded to deliver a shipment of rifles to Putain in the Iles Debòch. However, Etainish ships were in waiting. Saucy Mare tacked back and forth, skillfully avoiding enemy fire, while Little Babar under Captain Robin, formerly Sparrow's first mate, faked retreat. Once the Etainish ships ignored the retreating sloop, it moved back into battle, firing several shots at the Etainish war frigate Overacting Buffalo, causing only minimal damage to the gun batteries and main sail. The superior war frigate responded with a full volley of 35 balls of cold lead, sinking the Little Babar, along with Robin, who went down with his ship. Sparrow, sensing that the day was lost and that though his tactics had caught the Etainish off gaurd, the more numerous and powerful ships under thier superior captains had the advantage. +1 Leadership and +1 Intelligence for Captain Sparrow. He proceeded to withdraw to Kapris. A bounty of Đ2,750 has been placed upon his head by the Etainish Colonial Authority.

Captain Silver launched a raid against the uninhabited island of Loray, finding only sugarcane, he loaded up and set sail with a meagar taking. It is advised that he target inhabited islands (denoted by a square or star).

Captain Bent continued the shipping of goods within Fleurian New Lèon.

Captain Alexander warns the Fleurian Authorities at Ivè about a possible raid, the Fleurians respond by increasing readyness.

While Captain Schwarzehand journies to Ivè to do that very thing, raid the city.

Captain Roddy builds a new cutter, named The Chancer and assumes the command of the ship. Roddy hires Captain Trujillo, formerly of the Citerian Navy to command his sloop, The Risker. Roddy takes a 'chance' and raids the Etainish trading outpost at Pè Etranje, burning many vital government documents associated with trade, which could ultimately damage the Etainish economy severely. He ordered his crewmen to speak Fleurian, while it was broken and most of it pseudo-Fleurian jibberish, it did the trick. +1 Stamina for Captains Roddy and Trujillo. The Etainish blame the Fleurians for this atrocity.

Taa'u did a job. He did not specify which job, nor did he even secure a contract with a trader. God was nice.

Blackbeard told his first mate to continue his job. The first mate responded, "But sir, we have no job, we completed it recently," I chose to give you Đ150 for your stupidity. Or conversely, mine.

Hunt transported some Java... which wasn't from Java... Hunt transported some... "Alèz".

Captain One Eye, who only had one eye, delivered some goods to Gran Apreu.

NATIONS​

Fleurian and Etainish tensions reach their breaking point. War is iminent.

OOC​

-Human-Slaughter, you must specify which job you wish to take, I was nice this turn. Next time, I will penalize you.
-I didn't get orders from Naervod or Jason this turn, as a result, they were not charged upkeep. Neither was Blackbeard, who didn't do much at all.
-Jobs to be added tomorrow and war to begin next turn.
-Added 'Bounties' to The Tavern.

[RoddyVR]

well, i think i've done enough to agravate the Flaurians and Etanish, time to head south.

Capitan Roddy Orders:
Cpt. Trujillo is to take the Risker To Dakagee and sell the mangoes for as much as he can get for them.
Capitan Roddy takes the Chancer to St. Anysia and sell his mangoes.
once in St. Anysia pay D150 to get trade info on: Pemet, Fanatique and St. Blaise.

both ships clearly have enough mangoes that if any of the men want to eat mangoes, they can have as many as they want. Be a nice change from the regular same old navy food.

Addendum if Cpt Sparrow decides to join me on my way to St. Anysia (see two posts down), then assist him with any supply needs he has at Dakagee (if needed, upto him), and be thankfull that between the two of us (and our cutters) we stand a much better chance against any government's frigates then alone. If anything (including other players) does attack us, throw everything we've got at them (including the mangoes if that helps, lol).

Story: (i'm bored)
In the morning The Risker would for the first time leave Capitan Roddy's sight. He was set to take the faster Chancer further into Citerian Territory then the Risker could get. The Raid on Pè Etranje had proved that Captain Trujillo could be trusted. Roddy was still a little worried about what the man might do once he is allone on the sea's in controll of a Pirate's ship. It was agreed that Roddy would stop by Dakagee and leave instrusctions for Captain Trujillo to follow once he got there. Roddy had decided that after this recent raid, he could no longer afford the risk of being caught by either the Flaurians or the Etanish and needed to go south for a while.
The Flaurians thought he had sunk with a good load of their gold, and the Etanish might recognize him as the one who raided their trade port. Getting caught by either could prove unpleasant.
When their war finaly flared to open hostilities, they would likely forget his crimes against them and he could travel back up here if needed. For now he would go south and make a name for himself as a trustworthy merchant. Captain Trujillo's nationality might even help him get a foot in the door with the Citerian merchants and officials.
Roddy hoped that he could get a good amount of gold for the dam mangoes that he had so many of now. He'd never liked mangoes that much and was now sick of them. The men seemed to like having so much fruit around though. Since it wasnt some merchant's shipment, Roddy gave the men permission to eat as many of the dam things as they wanted.
A fisherman they'd met a couple days back had informed them that Captain Sparrow now had an Etanish bounty on his head. Roddy though about finding Sparrow and proposing that they get the hell out of here together, Two cutters have a much better chance of escaping a frigate then one, but the search would take too long, and he wasnt all that sure it would be worth it.

 

[Plexus]

Aye, meant for the bigger one to have the most mangos.

 

[RoddyVR]

been searching the thread trying to figure out why in gods name Cpt Sparrow (Xen) has a bounty on his head. was he in some backwater deal to deliver some guns that were called bannana's somewhere? dont make too much sence to me so far. hope he got payed (or atleast offered) a lot for that job, cause loosing a boat so early can realy hurt and having other players sent after you is probably worse.
lol.

To Cpt Sparrow
From Capitan Roddy
(sent by pidgeon i'd guess, cause how else are we communicating)

Dear sir,
I have now had two offers from other captains to join forces to hunt you down and collect the reward on your head. I have absolutely no wish to encounter any Flaurian or Etainish officials at this time (as either meeting could cost me a very important body part that currently rests on my shoulders). I am honour bound not to reveal the identities of these captains, but as a fellow outlaw, thought i should warn ya. I am currently heading down to the Citerian island of St. Anysia on my cutter, the Chancer. I propose that we travel together for mutual protection from various hostile entities. If you would like to join me on my journey, please meet up with me on my way to Dakagee (voyage path and timetable included, you can choose your own randevue point).

Good Luck avoiding the Etanish navy,
Capitan Roddy of the Chancer.

PS, considering the bounty on your head, i would not advise stopping in Dakagee, as tehre are many a greedy soul there. If you decide to join me on my way to St Anysia, i will gladly assist you with any resuplying you need from Dakagee on the way. Plus i have quite a few Mangoes, that you are more then welcome to have some of for your crew if you'd like.

 

[Xen]

OOC- no, I havent been paid yet, I have to go to a certian unmentioned port to collect that duty....

To: Cpt. Roddy
From: Cpt. Sparrow

I would be interested in joining you at some poitn in the futur, however, St. Anysia will have to wait- I need to go collect my reward.

and as for any would be bounty hunters let them come, and they will meet the nasty guns of one of the major powers royal frigates I'm a valuble man to severl imperial powers now, and i dont have to worry abut any Etanish bounty on my head

NOTICE

I have revamped the trade system:

You will be PM'ed each turn with what is being bought and sold in the port you are in. If you are not in a port, you will get nothing. If you wish to inquire about what is being bought/sold in another port, pay the local trade authority Ð50/port (if you are not in a port, this option is not avaliable to you either).

 

[alex994]

Orders *secret*
pay informant 50 dubloons
buy 100 Papayas and sail for Gran Apreu
Beware for any dangers along the way
Order no one to eat any of the papayas
