Trouble in Port Westroger.
« on: June 24, 2015, 12:11:57 »
Port Westroger, a large coastal town known for its tolerance of pirates.

While they are kept out of the main city, the docks are their territory.

The blacksmith will happily sell swords to them and asks no questions about where they get their money as long as they pay him.


Many notorious pirate ships are docked in the harbour.

Including the Poseidon, the ship of Captain Bill Black.

Both old and young pirates wander these streets. Drinking, gambling, telling tall tales about their adventures, and the locals dont mind as long as their things arent stolen.


Inside "The sword and Cutlass" tavern, the most feared Pirate captains gather. If you are not a Pirate captain of some reputation or one of their trusted friends, you wont be allowed in there.


And the few guards that there are? Well some are unhappy about all this, like Nelson. And others like Leon don't mind taking it easy.

Nelson: "What has become of our beautifull city? Pirates everywhere.. We should restore law and order but we dont have the men."
Leon: "Dont worry about that, I rather just have a drink and enjoy the weather rather than stand on guard duty all day."
Nelson: "You should not drink while on duty Leon. We are guards, we need to set an example."
Leon: "And hope the pirates follow it? Besides, they arent that bad. I've played cards with them often enough, you should try it sometimes."
Nelson: "I won't associate myself with those ruffians and neither should you!"


((Will be continued soon, I just wanted to finally get this started so its easier to continue from there. :) ))

A lone pirate is paddling into the harbour, It is John Falcon, happy to make it there with his recently aquired treasure.


As soon as he sets foot on land, someone is quick to approach him.

Pirate: "That's a nice silver chest you have there buddy, it looks heavy. Maybe I should carry it for you."

John quickly grabs his pistol as he turns around.

John: "You better keep moving, and I am not your buddy. I worked hard for this and you can't have it."
The pirate is quick to move away with the pistol aimed at him.
Pirate: "Just wait untill captain Grey hears about this, you will be sorry."

Meanwhile, at the blacksmith an aspiring young captain just bought himself a new sword.

Ryan the Red: "Ah a fine sword it is, worthy of a captain and well worth the money!"
Salesman: "Thank you, come again."

Holding his sword proudly, he marches towards "the sword and cutlass"

Ryan the Red: "Now I will fit right in amongst the other captains!"

On his way, he runs into the crew of Bill Black, who Ryan used to be a part of as well before he got his own ship.

Rowena: "Whoa there Ryan, you can't just walk into the Sword and Cutlass. It's only for captains and whoever they bring in with them."
Ryan the Red: "I am my own captain now. I have my own ship so I belong there just as well as Bill Black and the others."
Rowena: "Trust me, you really don't. That little boat of yours is nothing compared Bill Black's Poseidon. I should thank you though, since you left he made me first mate."
Ryan the Red: "Well you can have that job, he won't be bossing me around anymore."

And so he moves on, boldly stepping into "The sword and cutlass"

And John tries to ask around for a place to store his hard earned coins.
John Falcon: "Hey there, can you tell me where the bank is in this town?"
Villager: "There is not one in this city sir, but nearby out of town there is a bank."
John Falcon: "Very well, thanks for the trouble."

Stepping inside, Ryan sees the captains sitting at their usual table and some of Bill Black's pirates being served fresh ale by the friendly tavern girl.


Boldly he steps up to the table where Captain Bill Black is sitting, alongside with his friends Captain Pete Grey and Captain Alfonso.

Ryan the Red: "Well hello there Billy, as you can see I am a captain myself now, I have my own ship and am gathering a crew. I'm not that bad though, let me buy you all a round of rum and we can sit down and talk as equals now."

None of them seem very pleased to see Ryan or very welcomeing of his offer however, and Bill even grabs his pistol and aims it at Ryan.

Bill Black: "You just keep moving, traitor. I dont want your charity and you are no captain. If I ever see your little boat sailing past, I will shoot it to oblivion. Let that be a warning. Now away with you!"

Ryan was about to turn around and leave the tavern, when a lone captain waved him over from his private table.

Warren Peterson: "Don't listen to those three young man. A small ship with a good crew can in time move on to a larger ship with a larger crew. Please, sit down."

Ryan sits down with a smile and lays his sword on the table.

Ryan the Red: "That's very kind of you, do you maybe have any other advice for me?"
Warren Peterson smiles. "Best not to boast before you have something to boast about. Right now you have nothing to show for yet. Build up a name, and then walk back into this tavern with word of your succes traveling ahead of you. Also get a strong crew you can rely on. Last thing you need is a mutiny. Be tough but fair, they will respect that. And lead from the front, not from behind your men."


While Ryan keeps listening to the friendly old captain, a great deal of trouble seems to be marching towards port Westroger...

It looks like the relative peace of the rowdy port town is about to be disturbed.

((To be continued soon.))
