RP- A Problem in Prote

[Meliva]

The admiral nods.

Good. Jack, would you like to lead the land force against the fort? The fleet cannot attack until the fort is secured-otherwise we are going to be blasted by shore batteries while fighting. If you can take the fort, you can then have that witch bring you back to the fleet and then help in the naval battle as well. That will let our fleet know when the fort is secured without needing to do anything that would alert the enemy fleet like sending a signal.

[Jack Teach]

Jack nods

It'd be an honor sir. You have land troops of course?

[Meliva]

The admiral nods

Well I don't, but there are troops from Chalkos stationed currently awaiting orders to head to Prote. Just head to them, and bring along whoever you want and then hit Prote from behind. Or you could decide to be sneaky about it, and move in with a small squad, silently take the fort, and then fire upon their fleet with the batteries there. Personally id go for the first option-will alert the fleet, but it's less risky then the latter. Up to you what you decide to do though.

[Jack Teach]

jack nods

Thank you sir. I'll take some friends of mine along. When shall we leave?

[Meliva]

The admiral shrugs

Well whenever your ready. Sooner the better, so if your ready now you can leave now. Just sail on over to the other side of the island Prote is on and meet up with the troops there. The rest of the fleet will stay near Prote to make sure the fleet there doesn't run away while we wait for you to take out the fort.

[Jack Teach]

Jack nods, and he departs. He sails around to the other side of the island of Prote and steps on shore with James and Michael

[Meliva]

Eloth, Zephyra and Ellenor follow. They quickly meet with the men stationed there and preparations are made to quickly depart. Guarding the road to Prote is a field army of around 1000 men. An assault against them would be possible, or a smaller group could sneak around through different paths to try to sneak into Prote and then into the fort. Eloth just shrugs

Think it would be simpler to just fight past them and march on to Prote that way. But if we do the sneaky plan I think a group of 20 could handle it if they got me with them.

[Jack Teach]

Jack brushes off his hat with its gold cockade and puts it on his head

I believe we will simply fight past them. Using the sneaky tactics in this case are a bit risky, especially since these men are just regulars, well trained no doubt but still regulars. Though I think we should advance without any unnecessary noises, no drums or fife.

Michael checks his heavy cavalry saber and straightens out his cassock, and outs on a wide brimmed hat common to clergy. James checks his pistols

[Meliva]

Eloth nods, the troops all quickly prepare and begin heading towards the enemy army, after about half an hour the 2 armies meet and battle erupts, Eloth rushes forward, golems rushing with him, Zephyra firing from afar, and Ellenor quickly floating forward, slashing the enemies while the 2 armies begin firing upon eachother, while also several groups rush forward to engage in melee combat.

[Jack Teach]

Jack stands with the soldiers sword in hand, barking orders, encouraging the soldiers. James pulls a pistol and kills a Colisquian footman wielding a scimitar. Several men in the enemy ranks cry out in anger when they see james, as he has done the most to hurt their slave trade. Fr. Michael goes out and gives the last rites to wounded Spanish soldiers who wish it.
