The two frigates sail near the enemy escort frigates and fire their guns, a rolling broadside as they sail in a battle line. Around 60 guns firing at the large frigates with devastating accuracy, the British colors flying proudly in the world wind .The commodore grinning with the thrill of battle.



Although, it could have been one broadside, and then the gun crews rush to the other side and then fire.

Surprise they just came out of nowhere? Come on? I stated that the large frigates were far outside of direct fire range and stated that the two escort frigates moved toward the area of action. How do this skirt all of that and not be seen. Hey look a MoW that was hidden behind the two large frigates turns toward the the two frigates firing on the large frigates. The MoW and Large Frigates fire with devastating accuracy and lay mortar fire on the frigates disabling them and causing them to sink to the bottom. See I can make outrageous situations as well.

Okay I admit dez that clears up the guns and cannons, but doesn't explain how you lowered the Spanish flag and raised the jolly roger without you know, getting blasted. But honestly, seeing as how that is more flavor text and not really impactful on the story, I find it fine. Besides it really is pretty neat seeing that honestly.


Weighted pulley system, it would only need to be cut at the tie down point. The weight at the Spanish flag would fall bringing the flag with it and the hidden Jolly Roger would rise without any effort by the pirates.

To be honest I only intended on the sloop of war and the two frigates conduct battle. The two large frigates would only fire to even the odds or if ships got close, but would and will likely roll out once the mortar fire is over. You guys kept pushing more and more ships into the situation. A Pirate would just run against such odds. Had to make it worth fighting.


Yeah sorry about that. Sometimes things begin to escalate and i tend to forget to try to STOP the escalation and try to descelate things. Also good point about the pulley system. I stil think it seems a bit unlikely they had this set up well before hand, but again, i like the addition and really don't mind if its unlikely. Definately not the most unlikely thing that happened so far.

The frigates moved over to fire on a them, there was no appearance out of no where I assure you. I meant that they sailed towards the enemies coming towards the fleet, the escort frigates. I'll change it presently, I didn't at first realize that the mortar frigates had anything in front of them, please forgive me it was a mistake

The mortar barrage ends. Seeing the reinforcement coming in, being outnumbered, and the escort frigates too engaged to make it back, the large frigates set full sail out of the area.


Note: I'm not providing what damage I inflicted or what damage you inflicted. Be realistic. I'm just running the part of the pirates in the story,
to make it interesting.

The Royal Navy ships pound the escort frigates, the enemies mast's fall. One of them sinks, the other is set ablaze. The RN frigates begin to go in the direction of the frigates with mortars, at all haste.

Before sinking and being disabled the escorts returned fire landing multiple shots on the RN frigates.

Realistic.

The admiral signals the commodore to let the mortar ships go. Could be leading them to another trap, and he orders all his ships and men to rally here, and try to catch as many pirates as prisoners as possible. The admiral reckons Interrogation and torture may bring answers where the others fled, and to chase them now after realizing their initial intel was wrong would be foolhardy. Besides. The few surviving merchants need to be taken back to port, and the injured men need tending to. His fleet had taken some damage. He lost 2 sloops, 2 frigates and several others damaged. The rear fleet is untouched, so he shouldn't need to worry about any dangers back to port. And they can house all the prisoners they catch. He stands at his helm as he waits for his men to finish the battle and return with any potential prisoners.

The two frigates come sailing up, a couple spars and ropes have been shot away and there are some holes, through none near the waterline. They took some pirates from the sea but they took no prizes. They sank or burned anything they came across.
