Role-Play Clone Chaos

[Jack Teach]

The British ships are in a battle line, firing massive rolling broadsides, raking them, killing many men. Meanwhile Jack gets in a rowboat and his men row him to the flagship. He steps on board, and respectfully salutes the admiral, he is well dressed, in his finest scarlet coat and vest, a clean white shirt, black britches, red stockings, and a black cocked hat with a gold rim.

The fake uses most of the ships as shields and simply has them ram into the British ships, as he forces his way onto the island with no care of the men or ships he loses, those that survive immediately rush forward on the land and take control of the fort, while another force goes with him heading to the Castle.

On the ship The admiral salutes back before replying as he gestures to the 2 ghosts nearby of Ellen and Abigale.

Well, Abigale here said you weren't the one who raided the port. Well not this time anyway, and that you had no intention of burning it down. And she explained the whole clone business. So I suppose we can let the rest of your fleet continue onward.

One of the officers shout that they killed Bob though. The admiral laughs before he replies.

Bob dies all the damn time, odds are if he hadn't been blasted by Jack he would have tripped over the side and drowned. Like last week. He will be back soon enough. Regardless me and my fleet will be going back to Regis now. Sadly the other kitt fleet still want you dead Jack-your not popular with them. But you should be able to get home before they catch you. Well except for the ships I disabled. Those are probably lost.

Jack feels a pat on his shoulder as he turns around and gets socked in the face by Bob knocking him down. The admiral just nods.

See, Bob's back already.

Bob takes a step forward to continue hitting Jack but slips, on his own blood, hits his head on the railing, and falls overboard and drowns. The admiral helps Jack up.

Sorry about that. Have a good trip home.

[Jack Teach]

Jack salutes and gets back on his his ships. He thanks Abigale and Ellen and sails off. Jack looks around angrily, the priest stands beside him. Jack scowls

I swear, I will put my sword in that fake's bloody chest, he's cost me so much.

Back me at the island, the admiral curses and swears violently.

Damn! Let's get out to the other side.

The line sails away to the other side of the island, but not in range of the fort.

[Meliva]

Okay it would be pretty much impossible for a fleet of ships to sail around the island, disembark, and take a fort before the forces already on the island could just go and seize the 2nd fort by running straight there.

[Jack Teach]

It would also be impossible to break through a line that was raking your ships horribly But I'll change it.

[Meliva]

I also said that they looked for the area with the biggest gap in ships to ram through in the first place, not to ram into a heavy line like you stated they did. This is a large bloody island, even with 60 ships it wouldn't be easy to cover every angle. There would have to be a few areas that wouldn't have much in the way to stop them.

[Jack Teach]

Right. Let's continue.

[Meliva]

almost sad now, I was expecting you to debate with me further and I already was thinking of how to explain how it would work out . Think ill still do it anyway at the bottom of this post to anyone else who wants to see my reasoning

The brainwashed men keep to the forts, ready to fire upon any who get close, while the fake and his remaining forces begin working their way to the castle. The winds blow Jack's fleet toward Valorim at breakneck speeds as he approaches the island rapidly. Brian and Carl ready for battle.

And here is my explaination. Assuming that the fake lost over half his forces so far of 50 ships, lets say he has 20 left. Now the british had 60 ships guarding the island. But it is a large island so they would need to spread out their fleet. Assuming they covered the 4 cardinal directions that's 15 ships in each major direction. But that leaves the intercardinal directions vulnerable now. But assuming they tried to cover those too then that leaves roughly 7-8 ships covering each direction if they spread out evenly. Meaning 20 ships would be able to force past.

Jack takes out the bottle that will cure his men and makes sure that he won't drop it. His fleet sails over to the admiral's fleet. He looks to everyone.

How about an amphibious assault?

[Meliva]

Ton shows back up and points to the bottle.

A word of advice, just put that thing in a cannon and fire it at the island. It should cover both forts, but it won't reach into the area where Emily lives. Or, you could take the forts by force and use that bottle on the men below. Either way you can only save about half the men with that one bottle.

So, you can either avoid having to do an ambibious assault and immediately get onto the island, but have to deal with the men below. Or save it for the men below to have the fake end up all alone. Up to you which path you decide. Personally i recommend you cure the men in the forts but that's just my opinion.
