RP- Port Battle for the Strait

[Meliva]

vune nods

Consider it done then. Ill go and get those 2 governors to agree to it, and get you some papers to verify it. Oh but just so you know, if either side breaks this deal, I will kill the person who violiates it. This is my name being put onto this deal after all, so if it gets broken, that damages my reputation, which I will kill someone over. But if both sides keep to it, then all is fine. Zephyra, be a dear and watch this casket while I go do this. And please do not open it. I spent over 20 years looking for it, and if I lose what's inside, I will go mental and kill you.

Zephyra nods and takes it, as Vune teleports away. 20 minutes later she's back with a stack of papers and hands it to Jack

Done. Side note, that Edward fellow is sending about 500 fire ships to your island right now, might want to hurry back and stop them.

She takes the casket and teleports away, while Zephyra shouts

We should hurry, that's a lot of damage they could do if we don't help stop them.

[Jack Teach]

Jack is already scrambling, screaming at the men to get on the ships and disembark. They set sail as quick as they can to valorim.

[Meliva]

Zephyra uses the strongest winds she can to speed them back to Valorim, off in the horizon hundreds of cutters are speeding along heading straight towards the docks, some patrol ships fire at them, but the shot only hits some, and goes through the others. Zephyra thinks for a moment before she realizes what this is. She shouts to Jack

Some of those ships are just illusions. I think they are trying to sneak in the real ones by distracting us with fakes.

[Jack Teach]

Jack looks to zephyra

Is there any way to tell?

the Dismas and the other ships open fire, sinking many. The forts and shore batteries open up as well.

[Meliva]

She narrows her eyes for a moment before shouting

The fake one's don't seem to be making any waves when they sail, so check the waters besides the ships. I really don't understand how so many illusions can be made at once. This is insane.

The ships continue sailing with full force, Zephyra notices something else as she see's waves being made where no ship is at. She shouts again

I also think some of the ships are being concealed. I can see waves where there shouldn't be any. Or maybe something is under water making them, im not sure which.

[Jack Teach]

The signal is sent out and the ships and batteries concentrate fire on the the ships with a bow wave and on the bow waves with no ship. Many more ships are sunk. The air smells of acrid powder smoke, the sound of huge cannons reverberates throughout the area, smoke is everywhere. Jack laughs

Oh, how I love that sound.

the bow waves with no ship act as if a ship is sinking when hit. Jack calls to his gunners:

the gun crew who hits the most fireships will receive five barrels of rum free of charge!

[Meliva]

Zephyra watches this, and is confused, she goes next to Jack and looks to him

Have you noticed there's noone on any of these ships? This doesn't make much sense to me, they launch a huge horde of ships, with illusions backing them up, but no one on board them to ignite the ships. I wonder if this is just them probing the island some more.

[Jack Teach]

Jack gestures the few ships left

Well, of course you can't be on a fire ship when it's sailing. They could've ignited them far away, and provided the wind is correct, they'll just sail that way.

Jack watches with a spyglass as the last of vessels is sunk, he then closes it.

I think we smoke this Edward out, and find out who in the hell advanced his age.

[Meliva]

Zephyra nods

Well my mother finally finished looking for whatever was in that casket. Maybe she could tell us. Hell she found out about the fire ships before we even knew about them, so im sure she could tell us something. I imagine she would be talking with Emily and Veera in the lair here.

[Jack Teach]

Jack nods

I hope she's treating them alright.

The ships begin sailing in
