If anything I haven't sunk enough. The escort fleet consisted of a few dozen frigates and brigs I specified that in the first post- And for simplicity sake lets say the exact composition is 25 frigates and a dozen brigs. And you think that they can only sink 3 of your ships? That is incredibly unbelievable. Especially given the fact that after forming the first line, one of your ships rammed it. And you do remember that most cannons on ships are on the sides-when the escort forms a line and fires, your ships can only fire back after turning themselves. And trying to line up 50 ships into a line is much harder then just a dozen. Now granted there is also the fleet that space has, though he hasn't given any numbers. Regardless you should have a lot more then 3 ships sunk given the size of the escort. I will go ahead and say half the ships the English sink will be yours the other half Spaces, but even then to only lose 3 ships is not believable.




Edit-after double checking space said aside from the war galleon with 130 guns, he had several ships. So again for simplicity lets just say that means 5 ships. So they would have sunk more of your ships then his.

consider the ship's size and firepower. Flag galleons and large frigate are way stronger than brigs and normal frigates, meaning that their ability to be sunk is much lower.

That is true, but again it would be much harder to form a proper line with that many large ships. by the time many of them would be in a good firing position, the escort would have fired several times. As I said-most cannons are on the sides, and with the escort forming lines much easier and quicker they would be able to get off more shots before your fleet could retaliate.

Alright, but to help with the realism I suggest we agree that 3 of Space ships were sunk, and 10 of yours. I think that's more then fair, but if you would like to debate a different set of numbers, we can do so in PM's.


The Legacy raises a white flag as most of the survivors have given up. The admiral waits on the deck of the ship waiting to meet with Jack. He seems calm, despite his situation.

One brave man starts climbing crows nest and hits little string which was connected to small bell that many nobles gift to their cats.


In split second there is loud scream and sound of body dropping from heights is heard.

At the edge of crowns nest stands young man with annoyed look on his face and that strange sword. It was Rapiér but that rapiér at first glance would seem like any other. But hilt of it was made like a three serpants. It was cursed.

Who dares to interrupt my nap? I didn't want to mix myself in this but now after attempt of assasination I am mixed in.

after finishing his monolouge, he starts stabbing and cutting one sailor by one sailor. After he cut 12-13 men he grasps another young man and tells him:

Call me who ever is in charge now. Tell them that Morgan the serpant wielder needs to speak with them.

Young man stares in awe twoards Morgan.

He heard tail of him. Morgan the Serpant according to tail was child born in
Inn keeper family. Youngest of two kids. One day him and his older brother went in old ruins where they found Rapiér. Older brother Bartholomew grasped sword. Due sword being cursed his mind was devoured and he attacked Morgan giving him three scars across his eye. Strangely he necer lost that eye only scars left. In a fight for life Morgan killed brother. He returned to his family explaining everything but his parents forced him out of home and they said he is not their son anymore. People marked him as a brother slayer so Morgan returned to ruins and grabbed sword to kill himself but serpants spoke: "Become our master we will grant you strenght".

But that is just fairytaile that is told kids of Goroum he thought. Until he didn' saw that figure and that sword in front of him.


What are you day dreaming bring me person in charge or you wish to die here.

Morgan yelled at the young man.
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

Sister Ellen is quickly told by one of the men she rescued about morgan. She sighs thinking to herself how troublesome some of these men she rescued are. She begins heading to meet the man, with her sister in tow. Emily says to her.

This guy sounds dangerous, if he tries something I got your back.

Ellen nods but replies.

I doubt we will come to blows, but i appreciate the sentiment.

She finally stands before him and says in a polite voice.

Apologies, some of the men I rescued from the sea apparently don't know how to obey orders. I told them to leave you be, but it seems they felt they needn't listen. Regardless, I am Sister Ellen G. Panselo, I run several orphanages and do a bit of sailing, and I would prefer It if you didn't kill the men I just rescued from drowning.

Jack teach walks aboard, his face covered in dirt, his clothes are messy and are covered in blood. Jack walks up to the admiral, his hat cocked to the side. Jack looks at him.

Bring me the king, and give me your sword, showing your surrender! Or no quarter will be given!

The admiral stands firm, he says to Jack in a calm voice as he hands him his sword.

Jack, before I bring you the king, I wish to ask you a few things. Do you not think it strange that we suddenly stopped running and started fighting back.

He waits patiently for Jack's response.
