... I chose to sign with the English, I don't know why, I just had to.
The man said to me he would be setting sail at dawn tomorrow, he told me to be there. I was. It was a fraught crossing, filled with cruelty and terror, this man was a bad captain, he pushed us to the limit. I chose to obey him at first, for one must know how to follow before he can lead. The final straw came when he kicked me over...
... The Bastard. I had enough, making me do menial tasks was one thing, assaulting the King of Kings was another. The crew and I mutinied against the bastard, we prevailed and threw the barbarian overboard. We were our own, we were
free. We continued towards our destination...
... St Kitts. The Wealthy English Capital in this Caribbean. We went into port, expecting arrest and hanging. On charges of being a traitor and mutineering. We were prepared to fight... None came. I went to the governors mansion, to sort this mess out. At the tip of a sword if I had too...
... Interestingly he gave me a letter of marque instead, to plunder the enemies of England, the plunder Englands enemies merchants and military free of prosecution
*. Well,
mostly free from prosecution. I walked out of the mansion, thinking about my fortunes. Here I am, a free man. Captain of a ship... A sloop named 'Revenge', I noted to myself to change the name. I had 100 gold in my pocket, and the world was my oyster. I sign of Armok, no doubt he had a hand in this. I decided to go to the Tavern first, mayhap to recruit more people into my world, soon, into my religion. To worship me as a god.
I found 34 men to join my crew of 40, I now had 74. In the tavern were other people, I stuck up a conversation with them. One man offered a three-stringed fiddle, for 2400 gold no less! I told him to go fuck himself. I chatted up a barmaid, hoping to sate my needs. All I got was the information that a skilled sailmaker was on some french ship, a sloop named 'La Marin Chanceux'...
... I talked with the bartender, hoping for some good information. He told me I can get Bronze Cannons in St. Eustatius...
Fuck him too.
I left, disgusted. I momentarily thought of going to the local merchant, mayhap buying supplies. I laughed that thought off, I would be selling supplies, not buying them. I went to the shipyard, he offered to sell to me fine-grained powder for my ship. However it cost 500 gold, too much. He also told me my ship was equipped with grape and chain shot, as well as the normal round shot. After this I decided to set sail, to leave and....
*Englands enemies are the Spanish and the Dutch.
Now:
We need a new name for the ship, we also need our next action.
Should we:
Gain that Sail Maker?
Prey on the Dutch?
Prey on the Spanish?
Fuck 'em all and prey on all ships that cross your path, Armok help them?
