Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34163681-20180117020528/@comment-34263048-20180127103043

(Man o' war, was exclusively battleship, usually having around 100-124 guns on 3 decks, so I presume that part of the middle and lower gundecks are converted to cargo area Anyhow, Prepare for epic naval showdown.)

-"I wouldnt mind at all, as your embrace is quite nice place to be. Allthough I think I could some rest, and this little party we are having here is quite loud." -"Would there be any nice, and secluded places where we could go here then?" -"Captains cabin should be exactly like that. So if we climb over to the quarter deck and go trough the middle doors, and then down the stairs we are straight in front of it. As she is carrying me over there I shout to my first mate, that he is in control, if there is emergency I'll be in my quarters." And as we are about to go below the deck I can hear how some of the crew are having slightly more private fun on the aft deck. Well, I dont have anything against it as long as I dont lose any of my crew members due to it. As we get in to cabin I take off my clothes, leaving only my underwear on, and stumble on to my bed. The Kraken comes beside me, and onn I find myself in tight embrace, But as I'm quite tiered form the battle earlier today, and partying after it, and slighlty drunk I pass out before anything happens.

Early in the morning I wake up as the bells are ringing. That usually means that something isnt quite right. The kraken is still asleep, but both of my hands and both of my legs are all each bound by 2 tentacles, and the last two are making sure that our bodies are staying together. I start relatively carefully getting out of her embrace, first right hand, then left hand, And as I was getting the tentacles off from me I realized that I didnt heve any clothes on me. Did we do it, Did she do it while I was asleep? Either way now is not the time to think about that. When I finally get the tentacles off from me... damn suckers, they made it hard... and I'm starting to put my clothes back on. As I'm putting my underwear back on tentacles suddenly shoot between my legs, and very soon I find myself back in my bed, -"You werent very fun last night" she said. -"That might be, but right now I'm needed on the deck a lot more than I'm needed here." I geel how the ship suddenly lists hard, and hear how the sails snap as they get new wind. -"Are you absolutely sure of that" At the same time I hear how my first mate starts banging th door -"Captain, are you allright!" -"Hold on, I'm up in a minute!" I anwser to him, and then I say to the kraken, -"I think I'm needed there much more urgently than even I thought." As I'm leaving my cabin I say to her -"What ever we had going on, we can continue it after this issue is solved." Thankfully she understands that the situation might be bad and lets me go. and 2 minutes later I'm up on the deck, and asking what's the issue.

First mate points behind us. -"There was rather thick fog, but when the wind started picking up and the fog lifted those appeared." I look back and see three brig's, two frigates, and one windjammer heading at the same direction as we are. I take out my spyglass to inspect them further. They are all flying order colors, and they are on intercept course to us, and my ship isnt exactly in the best condition after taking on two frigates and one brig just yesterday, we were heading for port to get some repairs done. I could take the brigs alone, I could take the frigates on, alone and the windjammer is scary only because of her size, afterall it's just a converted merchant. Looking at the opposition, "Druella's Revenge" might go down today, but if that happens it will not go down alone, even though it's damaged it's most likely the toughest ship here. Issue is that while I can outrun everything I cant outgun, and outgun, everything I cant outrun, I can outrun only the windjammer, and even that is just barely. and in five versus four match I would eventually be outgunned. I look at the ships again, Which ships I want to take down. I give a new course for the wheelman, and hope that the wind doesnt change direction. When the battle begins I want the wind to be from my side, so I can manouver as I want to.

The frigates, other has black hull and white sails, other has white hull, and black sails, They are most likely "OBS Interceptor" and "OBS Avenger", They always work together, and if rumors are true their captains are twins. Both notorious pirate hunters. If they are after me, just that tells me that order really wants to get rid of me. From the brig's I can regognize only "Compass Rose" which is bit ironic, It's the only ship that has ever engaged me, and managed to get away. The windjammer, not sure but most likely either "OBS Swordfish" or "OBS Stingray", Not that it really matters, it's dangerouns only if they board us, as it doesnt have many guns, but it has at least twice as many men as I have.

-"All mans on deck" I say to my first mate, and start walking to my cabin. I walk in to my cabin, I dont even look at the kraken who's still in my bed, and I jsut say. -"You better get every single friend of yours here as fast as you can. and tell them to prepare for an orgy, many of them will get their mate today if they are fast enough, including you if I dont die." -"What's happening?" she asks and her voice sounds very worried. -"There is 6 ships chasing us, all of them are order battleships (OBS) my ship will sink today, But I'm taking at least 3 of them with me, that means there is quite many men ending up outside thir ships, but they will be lifted to tother ships quite swiftly. Then I go back on deck and hold and inspiring speech to my crew. When I'm finishing my speech, I hear a splash, as the kraken went to get her friends.

Couple minutes pass, and I see a seabishop and couple mersharks swimming next to the ship. almost at the same time I hear how one of the brigs fires a cannon, but it lands short. Not by much, I have only 5 minutes left before they are at gunrange. -"Prisoners overboard" and soon rest of the captives are brought on deck and thrown for mamono. -"Man the cannons, prepare for turn." couple seconds later, I turn to starboard -"Starbord side, Fire at will!" Due the ship listing away from the turn and sails picking up the wind better causing it to list even more, my guns are now pointing higher which gives me slightly better range, and the first broadside causes heavy damage to one of the brigs, one of it's masts collapses which reduces it's speed and manouverability, and set's another next to it on fire, For a second I think I made a mistake and we are about to capsize, but soon the ships starts evening out as we start losing the wind due the turn. -"Trim the sails I want all the speed we can get!" as I'm almost head on with my pursuers, -"Front mortars, fire!" 4 mortars from the bow fire, 3 of them miss, but one of them hit's, and the burning ship starts to sink. -"The one that got away shouldnt have come back." I mutter to my self as I see how mamono are swarming around it. Compass rose is nothing more than flamimg sinking wreck anymore. The still unharmed brig starts to turn away, so it could broadside me, so I turn to port to face it, making my ship as skinny as I possibly can. It hit's stright on my bow,  but causes only minor damage, but took out 2 of the 4 mortars I had there, I turn back to starboard away from it, and launch my second broadside brom port side, but it disperces all over, half of it lands short, and half goes over, but thankfully it ripped most of it's sails, so it will be good 20-30 minutes before it can really move. By that time my ship will be going towards the bottom, so it doesnt really matter anymore. I'm swiftly closing the gap to the brig that received the majority of my first salvo, I turn to port to give her again full brodside from my starboard side, And as the strike lands I see how there is at least 9 holes stright on it's waterline, I can see how it starts to sink, but due to my course I have to pass it, and I also get broadsieded,

-"Leak! 2 holes on waterline!" someone yells. -"Man the pumps, Lower gundeck crew to repair!" I look at the fast approaching frigats, which are clealy leaving a nice gap between them, Sailing there would definitely be a suicide so I definitely dont want to go there, and the windjammer is right behind them. Also if I would turn to port my ship would list and the holes would end up underwater making the repair next to impossible, Therefore I have to turn to starboard which means I lose all the wind, and for a moment I would be dead in the water. -"Turning starboard, ready to trim the sails!" I yell when I start turning. and in my mind I'm swearing, All I really wanted was to get those 2 down, that would have been a huge hit for the order. Suddenly the frigats turn towards eachothers, Interceptor loses the wind and practicly stops, and Avenger gains more wind, and rams straight in to the side of Interceptor, and on top of that the windjammer is about to ram them both! I have no clue what happened but I cant belive my luck -"Port side Fire at own pace, Starboard side middle gundeck to port side lower gundeck, Starboard side top gundeck, make sure that nobody suns out of ammo, reef the sails!"

After couple minutes I'm still there wondering what the actual F happened, when a female voice speaks right behind me. -"I have to say that a jammed rudder is quite dangerous, dont you think so too honey?" I'm so suprised when I heard that that I actually jumped, Cannon ball landing right next to me would have been less surprising, but then comforting tentacle lands on my shoulder. -"Was... that... your doing?" I ask, and turn to look at her -"Oh not just mine, I had help" -"I dont know how to thank you enough" -"About 1400 of my friends, frieds of friends, and their friends, would like to say the same to you. It was quite an orgy down there when I came here." For a while we are just looking how the order ships are literally disintegrating in front of us -"By the way, Why did you help us?" -"Well I needed to do something for the father of my children before he kills himself." So we apparently did something last night, even though I dont remember doing anything. As I see the order ships being practicly half way sunked wrecks I ordered seize fire. Then I remembered that we left one brig behind us, and turned to look that way but there was only empty ocean there. -"I took care of that" She said I turned to her and huugged her, I was completely out of words, there is no way I could thank her enough for what she did today. I feel how she lifts me up, and starts to carry me towards my cabin. -"First mate, you have the order!"

As we get to my cabin she has allready undressed me, -"Now, you were quite a dissapointment last night, falling asleep before we even started, But I hope you will make up for that today." And sure enough, I barely got out of that bed for next couple days.

Couple months later when we were in port I overheard a conversation. Order had set quite a hefty bounty to who ever could sink "Druellas Revenge". I also heard that "Druellas Revenge" has always at least 3 Krakens and uncountable amount of Mermaids and Mersharcks protecting it, Apparently only survivor of the battle had told this. while order had lost 9 ships, and well over 2000 sailors. Slight exaggeration, but truth is that we do have one Kraken escorting us... or more likely keeping me very busy in my cabin...
