RP: Battle on the High Seas

Barbossa turned and went to the railing, where he pulled a heavy brass spyglass from his coat, watching the cutter's approach.

[Meliva]

The cutter quickly delivers the message-stating that Barbossa is an old friend of the governor's and can be trusted. Carl nods and replies

Okay, then I vote we send him to spy. I'll have my cutter scout the nearby waters now that it's back.

[Jack Teach]

Jack votes to send Barbossa as a spy

[Meliva]

Carl nods

Well I think that's the majority. We'll be sending him to spy for us. The silent folk I will assume are abstaining. Good luck to you mate, try not to die out there.

[Henry Avery]

Barbossa nods, turning on his heel and returning to his his ship with not another word. Within about 30 minutes, the Pearl pulled away from the fleet,nad, after raising full canvas, soon was out of sight beyond the horizon.

John gives orders to his first mate to notify him when something happens and then returns to his quarters. Speaking out loud, John says

Well, it seems I have some time on my hands, I think I'll start that marble chess set I've been putting off making.

John goes to the back corner of his quarters and pulls a tarp off a work table that has two blocks of marble, one black, one white. John sits down, picks up his chisel and hammer and begins to make the pieces and board.

Dreadbot puts his men through an series of intense sailing and firing drills, even building rafts to use as ramming targets- these consisted of a wall of wooden planks set on barrels so they'd float, which was kept from capsizing via the use of a beaching anchor tied to the barrels. The Dreadnought was a beast of a ship, fairly fast for it's size. The targets hardly stood a chance, the massive warship cleaving through them with little difficulty. Contrary to what one would expect from a fairly piratical crew, not one shanty was sung. The crew executed the drills with ruthless efficiency, completing 3 full broadsides in just 5 minutes.

Carl and his men spend some time playing card games and dice while also double checking their equipment. After they get bored of the games they share stories while a few practice sparring. Occasionally Carl and Ryan exchange letters with eachother mostly just saying how each is doing, with some jokes and banter written in. Carl also sends a letter to the nearest port to ask for some help from a few old friends he recalls might still be there. Not entirely sure if they will arrive or not.
