Captain Howe looks out to sea from the main deck of the Compass Rose. He looks down at the crew of his ship. He can see that they are tired from the journey the Compass Rose has made trying to reach the trade routes that he can raid. Rodrigo Stark his first mate walks up to him and says "Captain it has come to my attention that we are running out of supplies, food, water and rum. We need to make port somewhere before the crew starve out." Captain Howe raises his his hand up in order to silence Rodrigo. He then says "There are no ports around that take in pirates we will be hung.

We have not come in contact with any trade ships it has been a slow month on the sea. This was not meant to happen. You are right though. We must make port otherwise we will never raid these trade routes again." He then looks to his crew and he knows he must think of something soon but there was nothing he could do at least not on that day.

The next morning Captain Howe was woken by Rodrigo shouting. "land Ahoy!". Captain Howe quickly rose to the main deck and got his telescope out to see a perfectly good port. He was thinking to himself it would make a perfect place for the Crimson Pirates to go whenever they need to raid they trade routes in these waters. He walks to Rodrigo and says "Roll out the guns and raise the colours. Our men have not had a fight for ages it's time we give them some." He then proceeded to head to his quarters to plan out the siege of Skullport Cave.

[[ Just a quick question. - Is that the pirate crew Grabthar owns? Cause I think that'd be kinda cheap to attack his town / area with him having to take a break from LoTC. (His home was robbed). ]]

(( I was only given brief information on this port by one of my crew. He suggested it would be a good target for us to take. I had no idea the owner to this port is on a break and if that turns out to be true I will take down this war claim. ))

(As a close friend of grubthar, he is not able to get online for the time being. He has worked very hard on that port and he should be back in a few weeks ...maybe then ??()

((We are discussing it right now hold on))

((Anyone who wants to come to his aid an come but I believe they need to be with the skullport guild. Also If he wants to join us after the fight he can we will give him back his ship. But Guy really we are pirates dont hate on us this is all rp not ooc come on if you need to talk send a bird rply . I really hate how people stop things oocly when this is a rp server.))

Here the problem, in an rp sense Skullport cove is more or less abandoned. You would be attacking a dead body.

[Slapacookie 39]

Aye We shall Take our chances . We want a port.

(( I have come to a decision I will continue on this war claim. But if the previous owner does indeed return he can have his town back as long as he fly's the colours of the Crimson Pirates. If you really feel that strongly that I should withdraw this claim PM me and I may reconsider. I do not want to see my posts being -1 downed because I am keeping this war claim up. This is role playing and as harsh as it sounds if I withdraw this claim it would be meta since it would be an ooc information effecting the role play event. ))

[Hiebe 2493]

ok i can understand rp reasons with wanting a port but heres the thing

one- you only went there and found it cause i gave slaps the cords oocly

two- grubthars house in real life got broken into and his computer smashed and items taken. He tells me he is trying his best to come back

Im FOR SURE he would move then happy allow this warclaim if he is told about it

His forum name is Grubthar and is one of my friends. At least contact him first. which i think is the rules if your con-questing/attacking a town

(( Actually I had my map of it I found I did not even use yours (also That whole convo was rp i was sending you birds not my fault if you were rping)))

[Hiebe 2493]

(please intrigue me on this map as this location has only been shared between me and grabthar when we roleplayed together. others only know of it OOCly.

[Slapacookie 39]

((We Legitally found this place we were traveling by holm and found it))

(( We also had people who have been there before and know its Skullport cove while on this journey with us We got to this place 100% Legit))
