RP- Battle against the Colisquian fleet

[Meliva]

At dawn the next day a signal is sent that the first of the slaver's ships are beginning to approach. Around 30 ship of the line. Eden smiles and gives the order to prepare for battle. She thinks for a moment as to the most optimal way of capturing the ships and she signals the plan to the others.

We should get up close, and blast them them with grape shot, then board and kill the crew. That way we can capture their ships mostly undamaged, then we can ask the slaves to crew them, and rinse and repeat with each of their fleets that cross here.

The patrol fleet greets the slavers posing as a Tokelau escort and begin leading them into the ambush. Eden smiles with anticipation as she sharpens her blade some more. She muses to herself she should try to talk those witches into getting her a magic one. But that's for later.

[Jack Teach]

The ships prepare to fire grape. Jack smiles as he puts on a brace of pistols, an axe, and checks his sword.

Let's have at them lads.

[DezNutz]

The sounds of what seem to be thunder rumbles from behind the slave fleet. Three cutters flying a Red Jolly Roger can be seen in the distance racing toward the rear of the slave fleet. A cloud of smoke follows behind them.

[Meliva]

its not really a strait Dez, in case you want to know where exactly , we are fighting in the water between the landmass of Aiora and Thorokas, I decided to just call it the Tokelau pass, as those 2 ports have been owned by Tokelau for ages, and since the water between the 2 masses are not narrow enough to be a strait. Not sure if pass is the right word either honestly though.

After a short while many large ships begin sailing by, not noticing the hidden ambush, they quickly sail upon them, and before the men can react are hit by a large volley of grape shot, Eden shouts loudly as she jumps from the crow's nest, sliding down some ropes and landing on the other ship

Take no prisoners aside from the captain, kill the rest.

She quickly fires a pistol killing one man and stabbing another, Carl quickly jumps onto another ship and snaps a man's neck before he can act, and shouts to his men.

Let's go lads, we need to teach these men a lesson about ethics.

They quickly hop onto the ship and begin slicing, shooting and fighting the slavers, some shouting various phrases, for Freedom, for Brian, For grog, and for a second Carl swears he hears someone shout for Bob, but shrugs it off and goes on to fighting.

[Meliva]

Seeing these strange ships Eden just shouts.

If they attack the slavers greet them friendly, if they attack us kill them, signal our patrol to watch out for them though.

[DezNutz]

Must of misread, I thought you were in a different location on the map. I'll correct. I'll update so it just says it comes from their rear.

[Jack Teach]

Jack's fleet continues firing as others board ships they're not firing at. The air is filled with smoke as cannons spit fire, lead, and acrid powdersmoke. In twenty minutes, the ships that they're being fired at are damaged, most completely immobilized. Jack stands near the edge with sword and axe in hand.

For freedom! And the prize!

Jack and his men board, cutting and slicing and shooting and yelling with savage fury. Jack throws himself into the fight, taking down many men and nearly being stabbed by a pikeman

[Meliva]

no worries. Also I looked it up, the proper word for it would be a channel not a pass. So all the former times I called it the Tokelau pass ignore that . It's the Tokelau channel now.

The fake Tokelau patrol quickly board the slave galleys, freeing the slaves, arming them and capturing and killing the crew on board. A few of the rear ships begin trying to sail away to the south, deciding that if the cutters are enemies to fight through them and if they are friends to ask them to send a message. Though they doubt they are friendly.

[Jack Teach]

Jack catches the pike with his sword and axe, he pushes it down and swings the axe into the man's head, cracking his skull and sending blood and brains everywhere. Soon many of the ships of the line are either destroyed or captured

[Meliva]

give dez a chance to do some battle too ok Jack, a few are fleeing south towards his cutters, that managed to slip away.
