The Pirate's Request

[Haron]

Ahoy, heartless traders and filthy merchants!

Have some sympathy with your fellow sailors, the pirates. How's an honest pirate gonna make a livin' skirmishing, when he encounters puny howkers? That hardly brings food on the table! Imagine when we come home from a hard day of skirmishin', our young ones rushing to greet us, a smile of expectation on their faces. Imagene further, then, having to explain that today we hardly will have anything to eat at all, since all we encountered on our path were measly howkers, with a tiny, nearly worthless cargo. The disappointment in their eyes, as they turn around, look down, and say. "Oh. That's... that's fine, dad...".

So, we ask you: Drop the puny howkers - use Trade Galleons, or at least Large Merchantmen! Think about the families of the poor pirates sailing the seas of Avonmora!

[Most Lee Harmless]

be grateful you find howkers.. some mean-hearted traders use cutters...

Fishing fleets

[Haron]

Oh, fishing fleets are the worst! Please don't fish where I'm skirmishing - you're scaring the traders away. Thank you.

[not a pirate]

I agree! SHM had a gold-bar fleet, but it was HOWKERS! WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
