So getting cornered like a rat in the bilge was only a foretold desaster.
What to do after the city guard starts to surround the ship and tries to get hold of us?
Just die! A plan was brought up and converted into action. I rigged all the remaining powder and some of the cannons and the capt'n went last.
We saved our precious sails and got out of the ship before it blew in a mighty explosion.
A really sad day for us. The Grandpa's Revenge was our home for the last voyages and held a lot of memories from our stupid exploits to make it in this mad world.
Half of our crew went their way, I can't blame them. It will take us some time to recover from this.
The next day we met in a tavern, hearing the stories about some pirates blowing themselves up in the harbor and went to our next plan: Getting money for a new ship.
Fraud seemed to be the only way to get out of Kiera and over to New Madrid.
So our Capt'n went to the bank of Kiera and with Carltons help secured a lot of money under the name "Barlton Grey", his twin brother. I have the feeling that we are getting the nice man involved in something he doesn't deserve!
With the money in hand we made our way to New Madrid. Actually buying a ship and equipment for our new voyage. We will see what the next year brings to us.
