RP- Port Battle for the Strait

[DezNutz]

You both seem to be veering off the RP topic considerably.

First, firing muskets on a ship aren't going to make one's ears ring unless they are quite literally standing next to the barrel as it's firing or they already have hearing damage. While the cannon shots will be louder, the ship acts as a natural sound dampener as the end of the barrel is extended outside of the ship when fired.

Secondly, one can have a deep personal faith in God and still be cold hearted to others. While there are clear conflicts to this situation from a dogmatic point of view, it does not mean that one can not have deep faith in God.

Let's move on with the RP.

[Jack Teach]

I think if there's hundreds of cannon going off, ears would be ringing. And he's in pain, from the musket ball, so he might not notice that way. But I agree let's get on with it.

[Meliva]

yeah lets get back to the story. We should probably discuss disagreements in dms from now on, think that will be a future rule from now on.

The local bartender calls to Jack

Oy, glad your back-even if you look a bit beaten. A pretty large fleet came by not to long ago, most of them stayed back as they sent a few smaller ships to attack us before leaving when we beat them. Think they were probing our defenses. Might be planning to attack again. Not sure. But ill be at my bar if any of you want a drink.

Carl nods and immediately follows, while Brian goes to his church, Zephyra to Emily's lair. The 3 call out to the others

We can meet at the bar later.

[Jack Teach]

Jack looks to his officers:

All forces are to be ready and prepared to defend this island and its citizens. I call a council of war, all captains and their officers are to go to the admiralty, and that is ALL captains who are citizens. I'll be there in ten minutes.

Jack walks to his manor to prepare for the council, the word is passed and all captains are called to the admiralty.

Leoric takes out a piece of paper, reads it, then walks around the settlement, before stopping at a boulder, he then uses a knife as a lever to remove a small chunk of it, revealing a small box. Leoric takes the box, and after examining the symbol carved in it, takes it back to his ship

[Meliva]

Brian decides to go to the war council, as he is a captain. Zephyra follows him as she has nothing better to do at the moment. She get's in contact with Emily, who decides to show up as well to deliver some news. The 3 show up and wait for the rest.

[D00T]

Leoric enters the war council shortly after

[Jack Teach]

They see a large room filled with seats, and hundreds of captains stand in front of them, wearing their best coats and powdered wigs. There are ten seats that re empty, as their owners are out patrolling. jack enters wearing his best blue coat, vest, britches, and his hair tied behind him. He sits down as do the other captains, he sits for a moment and then stands up and addresses the crowd.

Gentleman, an enemy has threatened us, so I suggest that we triple the patrol, get out our first rates and many of our ships to sit near the island, and if anything is sighted it is to be reported IMMEDIATLY. Absolutely NOTHING, but our own ships are to be near this island in ANY way. I don't give a damn what it is, if you see anything coming that isn't ours, shoot it down, if it surrenders then it is to be taken in and there crew questioned. There is to be NO drinking, no carousing, no lovemaking, nothing. We must be alert to any attack, so only some grog before battle is exceptable, and that is a small ration. If anyone is caught drinking, he'll be flogged or possible hung. All in favor of these regulations in these dire circumstances, say aye.

There is a universal approval from the captains

[Meliva]

Emily simply stand by patiently waiting for this council to be over before talking to Jack. She casually has a conversation with Zephyra using a bit of magic to keep others from hearing, though it confuses a couple men who see their mouth's moving but nothing coming out. Brian simply shrugs it off and listens to the council.

[Jack Teach]

They discuss the details and then jack gives the order and the captains go to there respective ships
