RP- A Problem in Prote

[Meliva]

Eventually they all reach the port of Vaasburg, where a rather large Spanish fleet is starting to form. The wounded are led to medics, while the healthy are given rooms in the inns. The Spanish admiral invites Jack and his companions to meet with him in the governor's mansion to discuss things. Eloth smiles in relief.

Good. The Spaniards can help us drive those buggers out. I just hope there's still something left on Valorim after that explosion. Hopefully Emily is fine too.

[Jack Teach]

Jack smiles and says to the admiral

Thank you sir. I apreciate your hospitality very much.

jack says to eloth

She's a lich so she'll probably be fine. I hope my ships haven't been destroyed. I'd never be able to replace them and the bloody fort. All those guns cost a fortune.

[Meliva]

As they enter the meeting room, they are greeted by the admiral, Vune and Veera. The latter 2 looking very upset. Zephyra politely bows before asking.

Um, so whats the status of the island and Emily?

Vune sighs

Well the good news is that the island is mostly fine. Emily decided since she couldn't stop the blast, she decided to instead try to contain it. The bad news is, that the only way she knew how to contain it was to make herself the epicenter of the blast. So, her body was quite literally blasted into a very fine dust. Even a bloody lich can't come back from something like that. But the good news is that we just need to go fetch her soul wherever the hell it ended up.

She thinks for a moment

Probably hell honestly. She wasn't too bad lately but she did more then enough dark deeds in her youth to warrant getting tossed down there. Best case scenario she went to purgatory instead. But regardless me and Veera are gonna go hunt her down, and stuff her back into a new body.

But thankfully because she took the brunt of that blast, her lair and your island is mostly intact-save for a few collapsed buildings. You and the admiral here can go check on it later. You have any questions or requests you wish to ask of me? I also recall i still owe one wish to you.

Fr. Michael says:

I spent a good time praying for her so she Cough may very well be in purgatory, but the chance isn't super high, regardless good luck finding her.

jack says

No I believe we're ok here, please convey our thanks when you find her. Did Edward do anything? Or did he not come to the island at all?

[Meliva]

Vune laughs a little

He was heading there, but apparently the massive blast prompted him to decide the island was destroyed or at least too banged up to pilfer anything from and he headed back north. What im more worried about is that spirit. It's old Erika Helmark. A very vindictive spirit that one. Old too. She's been haunting this world since before even I was born-and that is a very long time. Regardless, she normally settles down after making a big mess, but I'm keeping an eye out for her. Well my assistants will be that is. Im heading to hell to check for Emily, while Veera goes to Purgatory. I already asked Ellen to check heaven just in case. Pretty damn sure she ain't going up there, anytime soon, but doesn't hurt to check.

[Jack Teach]

Jack and his companions chuckle a bit

Thank you for your help

Jack turns

Now admiral, what's the plan so far?

[Meliva]

The admiral just points to the map

Well, first we plan to stop by your little island. If any enemies are there we sink them, but we won't linger there long. Then immediately after that we split the fleet in 2, the first will head north to reclaim the Hannes strait and the port of Hannes, while the 2nd crosses the strait and meets up with the Gasp fleet, then they move north to reclaim prote where we should meet up with the northern fleet. Then that leaves checking on Chalkos and we can then safely say that they have been pushed out of avonmora. Plans are being made back in Spain to hit them in their homeland as retaliation, but that's a ways off, but if you feel like making that long trip to the old world to join in your welcome too, if not Spain can handle them on its own, especially if we can get some backing from the church and our neighbors.

[Jack Teach]

Jack, Michael and James simultaneously grin. Jack says

Count us in.

Michael says

I be able to convince a few high-ranking men to help us, but I make no promises.

James asks:

Where would you like us admiral? We can leave the citezens here I presume, so long as they follow the laws.

[Meliva]

The admiral nods

Yes the citizens may stay here if they wish. Obey the laws and there won't be a problem. Just know that there won't be no handouts to them, so be sure to leave them with enough gold to live here until you can move them back home. Or just have them get put to work in the fields or other odd jobs to earn their keep.

As for where I want you, well at the moment your all shipless, and we don't know the state of your fleet in Valorim, so until we see what all's there I cant make that decision. For now though you all can work as extra helping hands on our ships. Just make sure all of them obey the spanish captains until we get you on your own ships. You and your companions can sail with me on my flag on the way to Valorim.

[Jack Teach]

They all nod respectfully. Jack says:

Excellent.

Jack tells his citizens to get temporary jobs and his sailors to help the Spanish captains
