GAME EVENT - Pirates Life for Me
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2011 1:13 am
‘Take up yer arms ya scallywags, today we spill the blood of the Scianto and ‘er crew!’ Bellows the Capitan. The men are already armed and ready to fight, hanging fast to ropes and side rail of the ship as it closes in on the Elven pirates. You tremble, hand gripping tightly at an old sword, knuckles white. One week as a pirate and now your first raid you feel nervous, excited. A tough and leather skinned hand claps you on the shoulder. ‘Hold fast lad.’ He says sternly. ‘This is ya test ah metal for sure it be, leme tell ya why before yah jump tha’ rail and fink we dealin’ wif soft belly sailors...’ He goes on to explain.
The seas of Illarion have long been the hunting ground of pirates, while vast land armies play their game of chess across the land, the seas are for the most part, free for all who dare her. The Maroon Islands and the many that fill the Albarian coast provide many a pirate crew and their boat safe haven and base. Amongst the many who choose this life are men and women of all races, none more so noted for surprise in such a role, the female as Ork, Shebangbang. A savage pirate captain who rumoured to have got her name not from the fear of those she raided and robed with her giant wooden club, but from her own crew. That however is another story.
This story is about two ships, the Scianto and the Marie and their captains, the elf Volorance know as Vance by his crew. A handsome elf as many are but he loves his fine looks, dressing in the finery of stolen robes and hats to match and the human Tweekest, a man of rugged appearance shaven head who dresses much like the rest of his men. Both met and became friends after the bloody battle of the bay. A savage day for Albarian navy men who set out cull the pirates only to end up bettered by their foes and vanquished. A pact was made between these men of salty sea and steel sword to work together and share all. For a time both men and their crews prospered.
That was until the day a floating chest was found, inside it was a mirror old and tarnished. That night sat on the sandy beach, faces glowing with the orange hues of fire light something happened as the elf stared into the mirror. An argument followed and the clash of steel between the two before the Elven crew made off. As sun rose and poured its light onto the camp of the pirates captain Vance and his ship was gone, the chest and mirror to. Tweekest lay bandaged and recovering from his wounds.
‘Now, tha story is set an’ ya know the past, Tweekest angry an’ bitter gave chase an’ in time did catch up with Vance. Tha present, tha now as tha two ships turn ta face each other is upon us. Tha future lad is up ta you!’
