RP: Battle on the High Seas

[Henry Avery]

To join your fleet! We would have arrived earlier, but we'd been at sea for some time and only just found out.

[Meliva]

Carl shouts from nearby

I dunno Jack. That ship looks piratey. And I don't know if we can trust this man. Could be a spy or a traitor from that fellow we're hunting.

He calls to to Barbossa

You lads really english privateers? Also, you say you're from newland? Well if we write a pidgeon to the port, would their governor vouch for you? Cause I can write a letter right now to ask him.

[DezNutz]

John watches from his spyglass.

Fools. They are going to get themselves killed.

[Henry Avery]

If you lads really want to delay sailing that long, waiting for a response, sure, go ahead! The ship looks piratey so we can blend in, not get savaged when we're sailing.

[Meliva]

Carl thinks for a moment before calling back

My cutter can stay behind waiting for the message, and catch up by the time the main fleet get's near our destination. Til then I say he can sail with us-but when my cutter shows up, you better hope it has good news not bad. What say you Jack?

[Jack Teach]

Jack pulls the pipe out his mouth. He calls

Aye. Send your cutter.

[Meliva]

Carl quickly get's to work, writing the letter and sending the cutter off. He nods to Barbossa

Good to have extra help if you're legit. If not, I suggest you leave before news comes back. If you are legit, apologies for being paranoid. Last time we were backstabbed, and I'd rather avoid that happening a 2nd time.

[DezNutz]

John puts away his spyglass and gives orders to his men.

Looks like they are allowing that ship to stay with us. Keep track of it and keep the mortars ready to sink it if things go south.

[Captain cudeggs]

michael stands on easy watching as the ships move around the dreadnaught noticing trust is not in order.

[DezNutz]

The bosun mate and the gunners mate onboard the Dreadnaught sneak up behind Michael and knock him out cold with a blackjack.

The bosun mates says

Let's take him to the brig and fetch the medical officer. Crazy fool is standing there and talking nonsense. Like he's narrating his actions as if he is in a play.

The men drag Michael below deck, secure him in the brig, and fetch the medical officer.
