Sira Saran: The plan to turn everything around and how that turned out

The only thing I got from it was that the Grandpa's Revenge would be anchoring just of the beach so that the crew would have a nice target range and a second group should get behind the slavers to catch them.

Sounds like a real plan this time and maybe it would work.

From the ship all seemed really nice till somehow the slavers noticed our group in the jungle. Shots fired from the jungle announced the end of the hide and seek part of our plan. Time to set the beach under fire with our eightpounder cannons and some really aimed musketshots.

At least these guys had it coming a long way.

It remembered me of my time in the Kieran Navy... there has always been some problems with tribes on the north coast of Torath Ka and that one day that the Navy decided to end a dispute with superior firepower. We were told there is a village of savages on the north coast full of pirates, smugglers and slavers, that attacked merchant ships without any mercy, killing passengers or selling them to the tribes and burning the ships.
Our two ships entered the bay by night and started shooting canister after canister into that so called village of slavers and pirates. At dawn the whole beach looked like a battlefield, smoldering ruins of huts and fishingboats. A large contingent of soldiers was brought to shore and we heard shots from time to time. This was no pirate hideout it was only a small village of fishermen and their families. In the next harbor I decided that I didn't want to be a part of such a "noble" navy, that killed innocents and jumped ship.

We will see how the plan to get the slavers to justice works out.
