Week Five News:

All quiet, but for the critical strike…

So much for the concentrated effort against the pernicious Black Gulf Corsairs!



In an otherwise quite week on the island the only report of fighting (outside of the troubled Vercuso) has come from Caragio: The Corsairs ambushed a Naval Alliance force escorting the Alliance’s solitary fragment of the Key.

Do the Naval Alliance have a traitor in their midst who betrayed the movement of their bit of Rackham’s Key? Spies are also a possibility, as are the dark arts. Either way, the Corsairs seemed to know where the Key was and attacked the army escorting it at its most vulnerable point. They now have all four fragments and possibly the location of the Lost City of the Old Ones!





In the aforementioned Vercuso after a concerted effort the Brethren of the Sea have edged into control of a slightly larger portion of the harbour town than the other factions. More trouble is to come no doubt – it seems like the clash of warbands there will go on as long as there is loot to be found.

THEY'VE FOUND THE CITY OF THE OLD ONE...well I'm ready for them! OH...the Old OneS...Never mind.

I'm actively trying to get myself deported to UK JUST to be part of the crew. Chances are though, you'd have the good taste to refuse me membership...I know I would.

Week Six News:

Relaxed Robbery Reaps Rich Rewards



The Naval Alliance pulled off another minor coup over the Black Gulf Corsairs this week. In revenge for the ambush last week they sent in a small team of agents to the Corsair’s stronghold at Caprio and stole the first fragment of the key from under their noses! Apparently the Alliance party, dressed unconvincingly as Pirates, walked in through the Corsair’s guards with being questioned and extracted the fragment of Rackham’s key from a locked strong-room. They hid it in a folded jolly roger and walked out of town with it tucked under the arm of their smallest agent, again with being check or challenged. I imagine the cat o’nine may well still strippin’ the flesh from the backs of the Corsairs on guard that day!



Vercuso was this week the same hotbed of activity it was last week. Street fighting among the small warbands, sent by their factions to secure the town and its loot, continuing to spread throughout the harbour town as each group struggles to take possession of key landmarks. The warbands are not limiting their aggression against their rival factions either – they seem just as happy to stab an allied warband in the back!

Elsewhere, Ragil and Roba were the focus of the Swordwind and Naval Alliance attentions respectively. Both fell quickly to swift and concentrated attacks. The Brethren of the Sea and the Black Gulf Corsairs were both conspicuously quiet beyond the walls of Vercuso.

It ain’t over yet mates, not by a long chalk!

The Gentlemen of the Inferno are a FINE LOOKING Band of Swashbuckling Rogues. VERY WELL DONE!

10th September, the year nine.
The Emperor’s Bane, Vercuso.

No Honour Among Pirates!

Kommodore Deffgit poked his head round the corner and peered under the archway of the Old Wall inn. In the distance cautious figures picked their way through the ruins, simultaneously searching and keeping a weather-eye on the towering buildings around them.



The early morning mists that had clung to the ground since dawn slowly burned away as the bright, sunny, late summer day wore on but it was still chilly at noon when the he Ogresuns faced One Eyed Willy and the Gentlemen of the Inferno once more: The rivalries within the Brethren of the Sea yet again spilled violently onto the streets. Both pirate crews planned to loot the ruins while they struggled for control of the rotting land-locked hulk Emperor’s Bane and the streets around it.

“I can see them blasted picaroons lukin’ over by the gallows,” he said “looks like they’ve found some’ert.”

Barnacle Nog nodded and idly thumbed the razor-sharp edge of his cutlass blade. As the Infernos passed the warehouse just in front of the Starboard Watch the Orcs moved forwards, crowding into the shattered wooden building, chuckling quietly and occasionally “shushing” each other.









A few hundred yards to the south of the Kommodore, Wyrdtoof stood on the roof of a hovel with one foot on a gang-plank. At the other end of that gang-plank was the Emperor’s Bane with loot aplenty on board. The Larboard Watch dashed aboard her, Dread Pirate Rogurtz nimbly ran up the rigging to the crow’s nest and secured the first item – a silver spyglass (which was entirely useless but valuable non-the-less). Scupper Lug nabbed the second as Willy and his Mates approached the other gangplank, which led from the port side gunwales of the Emperor’s Bane to the street below.











Barnacle Nog, Salty Ogbad and Kommodore Deffgit sprinted up a narrow alley towards the rear of the group of Infernos who had grabbed the bag of coins from the gallows.













Things started getting messy! The Infernos at the foot of the gangplank onto the Emperor’s Bane were giving a battering to any Ogresun fool enough to venture down it and were slowly forcing their way up, One Eye’d Willy leading the push. The Ogresuns who had attempted an ambush to the north were also getting pistolled at close range.

Deffgit decided that enough was enough – they had most of the loot so the last bag of gold wasn’t worth the effort. “Fall back ladz!” he cried “Let the dogs have their prize.”

Dazza's warband looks great, good job on all the models

Just a glimpse at the work Blessed Knight is doing for the Halloween Naval game:

I SUPPOSE the food/booze/finery finds are some compensation for getting Dad's troops massacred...maybe .
Nice tie in to the Karlsburg project, Lee!
