  1. ((Bignsxxy: literally no one cares. I would appreciate you not OOC spamming my threads with immature bs. Thank you.))
  2. An albatross delivers a letter to Eoghan Campbell, bearing a message from Faendal. ((PM)) Crewmen of The Snapdragon scurry around the message boards, clearing up the newly found advertisements that have been placed on top of the Talaran flyers. Beneath the scrawled out message is found a handwritten note, signed at the bottom. Ker'ayla Zevandir, The brig sloop design happens to be the middlemost ship of the three depicted in the sketch. However, viewing the design sketches is a privilege permitted only to potential customers expressing legitimate interest in the purchase of said design. Regards, Faendal

  4. Faendal strolls by the notice and smiles, remarking to himself: "Wonderful! Perhaps this marketplace can finally bring some life into the grand city of Abresi." Faendal turns and walks back to the docks, mumbling something to himself about scrounging up 100 minas
  5. Life would be so much better if everyone had MPM

      Well, some people just want to watch the world burn, Master Wayne.

  6. ((If anyone here would like an explanation of how the mission went down, feel free to PM and we can discuss it OOCly))
  7. Captain Faendal would wonder how someone of whom he has never met could possibly assume that this authorless post was written by him
  8. A large poster hangs on the message boards at docking areas of every race all around Anthos. The letters are large and bright. A Public Service Announcement Courtesy of the Imperial Oren Navy PIRATES - A REAL AND TERRIBLE DANGER Breaking: Oren naval intelligence operatives have uncovered the existence of an isolated pirate island by the name of King's Port off the coast of the War Uzg uruk capitol (directly to the east of the main gate), complete with mass weapons of war, capable of destroying almost any ship sailing on the seas. We advise any and all maritime citizens to steer clear of these ships at all cost for risk of death and robbery. Rewards will be offered for the confirmed execution of any pirate to the Imperial Oren Navy. Extra will be offered to any pirate captured alive. Captured pirates will be hanged in public then left to rot. The punishment for piracy is DEATH. The Imperial Oren Navy is disclosing these sketches with the intention of keeping the public safe. Attached hangs a large album of sketches, complete with captions http://imgur.com/a/TNnQM/embed We have reason to believe their leader is a human male with the first name of "Davey." Do not interact with any man of this name. Report him immediately to the authorities. ((To those who are wondering, yes, this information was obtained entirely in RP))
  9. The Snapdragon lumbers slowly onward along the coast of Anthos, unmolested as it visits ports all over the island. ((The offer still stands people))
  10. ((Hey y'all stay posted. There is the potential for a battle with a pirate crew this Sunday, but the details have yet to be worked out))
  11. ((It's all good, let me know beforehand if you're ready but no rush. Next week would work too))
  12. The Snapdragon lurches slowly out from beneath the massive earthen arch of Oren, obviously laden down with a large shipment of goods. You watch it from afar, but through your telescope you can make out the illustriously clad captain standing at the helm, barking orders to the crewmen darting to and fro on the decks. As the ship draws further out to sea the sails drop and she jumps forward, cutting through the waves at a remarkable speed for such a vessel. On the deck you spy two ballista turret mounts, but as far as further armament, all you can see is a large amount of closed portholes dotting the sides. The Talaran-Goldman Shipping Co. banner flies from its mizzenmast while the Imperial Oren Navy jack flies atop the foremast. She is a worthy pursuit, but do you give chase? ((I am looking for some pirates to RP a sea battle with. Unless you want to, there will be no permadeaths during the battle, and neither of us is allowed to take the other's vessel as prize. I would like to shoot for this Sunday around 3-5ish CST if you can, since I'm really busy all the other days of the week.)) ((EDIT: I have a large size crew (12) if that makes any difference.))
  13. *Faendal never receives the message, as there was no one around the docks to have heard what he spoke to himself. He will, however, have Captain Octavio know that he is indeed a privateer captain, not a naval one, but on Asulon was a seasoned midshipman of the Holm Royal Navy. Also, anyone who has ever laid eyes on The Snapdragon would know that it is far from a riverboat.*
  14. Captain Faendal Al'adan spots the posts as he walks along the docks, stopping and looking at it inquisitively. He scratches at his chin before speaking to himself loudly. "Perhaps this man is right, the Navy could use a little beefing up. However, he has no experience. I have been on the seas for many months, battling pirates and defending the shores of Oren. My crew of 12 and I are extremely well traveled and combat experienced, yet I have never seen this man except for on shore. If this was up to me, he would not be in much of a position to make decisions such as these. And how can he be based in Salvus? It's nowhere near the sea! Shows how much of a seaman he really is I guess. He can hardly call himself a 'Captain' if he doesn't have a functioning ship or crew. Might as well be a lowly farmer." Faendal shrugs "It is of no matter. I am sure he will be dead by the end of this blasted war anyway."
  15. Ugh, why is the capitol always deserted? It's the biggest human city but such a ghost town...

  16. As you walk along the dock city's marketplace, you pause and look out over the harbor. Under the natural arch sails a two masted vessel, a red banner flying above its mizzenmast. The sails are clean and white, and ballista portholes dot both sides of the hull. As it draws closer to the docks the sails are pulled up, the ship coming to a stop alongside the Imperial Oren Naval flagship. At the helm stands a tall wood-elf dressed in a naval captain's uniform, shouting commands to the human and dwarf sailors darting to and fro about the deck. An intricate nameplate on the stern reads "The Snapdragon."
  17. A new note appears on the board As a few of you know now, The Snapdragon has been enlisted into the Imperial Oren Navy for the duration of this war. This means we have moved our permanent docking location to the Oren Capitol docks. From now on that is where you will be reporting for weekly sails. Carry on.
  18. Faendal calls out form the growing crowd As a wood elf sea captain who defected from Malinor due to mistreatment and disagreement with the council, I would like to discuss my and my ship's allegiance to the ERA. I am owner and captain of The Snapdragon, a 20 gun brig sloop privateering vessel currently under the service of House Silverblade. However, former allegiances can be broken off if it means rescuing my beloved nation from the chains of oppression. Our extensive combat experience are sure to assist in your fight. ((Edit: changed 'pledge' to 'discuss'))
  19. Grabs a copy of the letter as it flies by him. As he reads it he begins to frown. "I do not like the prospect of war with my elven brethren, but the Malinor government deserves to be dismantled. I will have to contact Admiral Therving to offer him my ship's services in the Oren navy." Folds the letter up and heads back to his ship's cabin.
  20. All members please welcome Seamen Kzarkus and Thebnias Grimcraw to the crew! Also a reminder, SAIL TOMORROW AT 3:30PM CST!
  21. All crewmembers please welcome Bobo Shallowtunnel ((yimmya)) to our ranks! He will be serving with us as a sailor.
  22. A new notice appears beneath the original. Attention Crewmembers: Lieutenant Elerel has resigned from his officer's position, leaving opportunity for one more sailor to be promoted/recruited.
  23. ((Here is the link to Captain Faendal's VA. Anyone who leaves a response to it will receive one from me on their own. http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/83826-jtucker40s-first-va/ ))
