Well that didn't go as planned - Red Skull Bay Invasion
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 11:09 am
I was quite distraught that was personally unable to be part of the pirates invasion of White Harbor (see here for pirates assault). So, I hatched a plan to assault their docks!
It was not hard to find recruits for this death march. It seems the pirates have burnt every bridge there is in the land! With the aide of Xedos and his wife, we band of four set off to attack the pirates.
The extent of my plan was this: Hide at their doors and jump out when they arrived. I admit, a bit lack luster, BUT I had brought an orange cake! (the cake was later devoured, but we'll get to that).
After waiting for an irrationally long amount of time, with wife and children in real life whining in the background (I would beat them if I had to... these pirates HAD to be dealt with!). Unfortunately they did not arrive - Perhaps out plundering, I could not allow for this small band of warriors that I had recruited to be let down. So we ventured into the pirate lands to stick it to them!
First we plucked apples from their solitary apple tree in their orchard. (How do they keep this tree alive I wonder?) It seemed there was one guard watching the tree, but he was dealt with easily enough and we commenced burning down their ships upon their eastern shore.
So far, the plan was going... well not exactly as planned, but it was in our favor so we made our way to the docks to burn down the rest! This is where things took a dramatic turn...
You see, one of the challenges of interacting with completely new people, is that you have very little control over what happens. I, noticed immediately that upon the docks there were duels going on (not pirates of course). So I at first decided not to interfere. However, the warriors that I had recruited, had other ideas and charged in! Madness ensued and I decided what the frock?! Turns out we gained favor in their site for not running from a good fight. After the battle The Mayor (from what city I don't know) and his band recovered us and restored most of belongings (they kept my accurate Halberd of evil with 3 charges the bastages!!!). We then learned that they too had been vexxed by these infamous pirates. It was not long before they joined us in burning down all the pirates boats!
Well, this night didn't go as planned, but it all worked out!
