RP- Port Battle for the Strait

[Meliva]

Carl furrows his brow and thinks hard as he grabs his head.

Mate, Emily fixed my brain the best she could, but there wasn't much she could do even with magic. A lot of stuff I should know I forgot when that rod hit my brain. Maybe I did get proper schooling and that injury just knocked it outta me, though I do recall that my father had some good connections with some Spanish officers. He might have gotten me the position. I do recall I started out as a cabin boy too, so perhaps I worked my way up. My memories are rather spotty mate, so I really can't explain how I got a position like that. Regardless its in the past. Im no longer fit to be a captain at this point, but I still am a hell of a fighter.

Jack takes a drink

So are you going to find a real wife?

[Meliva]

Carl shrugs

Maybe. I ain't looking just yet really. Know a few lovely ladies i wouldn't mind settling down with, but I think until I get all the wild outta me, i won't settle down. Lord knows i got a lot of wild in me still. I think Brian though is just about ready to settle down. Not sure if he has a lady in mind or not. Regardless, me and him will be buddies through thick and thin.

[Jack Teach]

Jack nods

I see. So that order, or what do they call it...a denomination that Brian is a cleric in allows for marriage? What's it's name again?

[Meliva]

Carl thinks for a moment

I think it was the church of the united faith. And yes, they are allowed to marry.

He leans in close to Jack and whispers

Don't tell a soul I told you this, but just between you and me, old Brian once was in love with Ellen, but on account that nun's can't marry or have kids nothing came of it. He was a complete mess when she died, told me he contemplated hanging himself to follow after her. Emily talked him out of it though.

He sits up straight and talks normally again

Still a shame about Ellen. But, she's done a lot of good, both in and out of life.

I tried to find the post where I named the faith Ellen was a part of, but gave up due to how much there is. So I will just say its what I named it here unless someone remembers and wants to post it.

[D00T]

Zakarum?

[Meliva]

Zakarum?

No, I didn't give it any odd or specific name. It was something about the church of united faith-the whole idea was that it didn't like the schism of Christianity and wanted all the faiths to remerge into one stronger united faith, instead of remaining divided. But its been so long since it was mentioned and I sadly didn't put it into my notes that it got lost. It's still there in an older RP but I have no damn idea where. Tried skimming for it, but gave up. So unless someone else finds it and tells me, for now the name will just be what carl said.

[D00T]

The Angelicans?

[Meliva]

again, i didn't give it any specific one word names like that. It was something like, The church of the united faith. Actually I think I called it an order. Like the Order of the United Faith. Something along those lines. Ill just say it was the Order of United Faith, or OUF for short. But anyway enough derailment, back to the story.

Emily comes into the tavern looking both furious and slightly drunk as she shouts in enraged and with a slightly slurred speech

We gotta launch our attack ahead of schedule. My spy reported that Neapolis has secured a large quantity of explosives, and is planning to blow up the cliffs on both sides of their end of the strait, to make a temporary isthmus, then once the fighting is done to build on top of it. If they succeed then it will take a ton of effort to remove all the blockage.

[D00T]

Maybe we could set off the explosives before they reach the cliffs, that would eliminate some of their forces and guarantees that they would be slowed down
