Pagan Pete Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) How Pagan Pete stole a players Belle, with a privateer... So me and me mates were following two US trinco players as they headed to the Mortimer area. We lost them in the fog and so we sailed into "Little Iguana" for a pint o rum. I sailed out in The Banshee heading for some hunting, when I were beset by two French captains looking to collect the bounty on me head! A Belle and a Rennomee give chase and I send a homing pigeon to me mates. We come out and have them 2 to 1, and a little pyrate in his basic cutter come along. He becomes important later... The battle be joined and the Belle pays no attention to ole Pagan Pete as I rake his stern once and then twice, reducing his planking to match sticks. The third pass I laid waste to 45 of his men. NOW he pays attention! He turns and fires at The Banhsee, to little effect, and it allows me mate in his Connie (Wot I built him using blueprints I aquired from raiding the US coast). Me mate blows off his main mast AND his fore mast in one broadside!! Huzzah! With the Belle almost at a stop, the little cutter gets in too close and, being slow, gets pulled by the Belle. I pull in and make to knock the cutter loose, but it is over before just before I can break him away. Filled with a lust for revenge, I board the Belle and make ready to do battle with his remaing 177 men. As the fighting starts I notice he only has Forty men... Forty men!?!?! Didn't have time to think about it, so I got right into the fight. It were over quick! Killed most of em and eight surrendered after a minute of slaughter! I Make to capture the frenchman's ship and a curious thing happens… I find myself on the deck of the cutter!!! "How did this come to be???" I wonder, and I make to head back to The Banshee again. Now We be standing on the deck of the Belle!!! "Wot in the name O' Flying Pig Cloud be going on here??? Where be me ship?!?!" It now becomes apparent, after a few more tries when I finally get back on The Banshee. Wot had happened were, The Frenchman must have transferred his flag to the cutter, in an attempt to escape his demasted ship. We climbed over the gunwales so quick, he didn't have time to sail, and that is why I only had to fight 40 of his 177 crew!!! In doing so, the men on the Belle seeing their captain die on the deck of the cutter, surrendered their ship as well. So Pagan Pete got to capture TWO ships in one boarding action!! Top that!

Pagan Pete Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 So me Surprise, "Unpleasant" is trading broadsides with a bloke in his Cerberus. I suspect its live oak, or that me gunnery was off because i were sleepy, because tis holding up quite well. I have the upper hand, of course, until that bloody fire started... I called the men off everything to fight the fire, so naturally the Boatswain sends 5 of the available 200 men to fight it. The fire burns out of control… A result hardly unexpected with such poor crew management. It begins to spread. I be thinking this may be the end of us as me consort ships are reporting "Oh yeah, you have a BIG fire now." Finally the Boatswain send enough men to bring the fire under control, about 40 men. Then as the fire threat is reduced, he pulls men OFF fire duty, slowing the extinguishing if the fire! he took so long to get the fire out, that now we are starting to fill up with water. He sends 24 men to the pumps straight away… Not 5… 24. Fortunately, "Unpleasant" is a tough wench and she won't go down! She be built from me own design.

Pagan Pete Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Ahoy! Has been a while since I visited me own tavern and told a tale. Bein a guid founder does have certain responsibilities that takes away yer time, but I'm here to blabber nows. So there I were, in The Banshee, sail in up n down the US East coast. I come across a fat trade snow, poorly handled, and so I close in fer to take her. In the miss of this a feller in his Snow comes in to give ole Pete a hanging ____o-|-= Now this here snow must have been made out of fir, or women's dresses, for me crew of bloodthirsty cutthroats punched many a whole into her! She fled... Then I comes across another feller, also in a snow, and I decide to do battle cause my blood is up! I gave him a few well aimed broadsides, and his courage wained and the fled the field. So then I comes across another feller, a flag captain, in a cutter. Now he probably is on a mission o some sort… Least thats wot I told myself, for my blood was still up & looking fer a fight! We duel, he dies. So, now I be somewhat satisfied, but still with no loot. We be getting low on repair kits and set sail for port. And that when we come across it, a copy of my Lynx, The Ghost! I had hear that this ship had been built, from one of the locals, for the express purpose O hunting Old Pagan Pete down! I told him that I'd ben looking for him. he replied "Come hither and sinketh me, brethren!" or words to that affect. I deals him Fearsome damage! and he flees... Now I hear say that "imitation be the sincerest form o' flattery." But, for a pyrate, the best flattery is fleeing before him, in a ship twice his size! have a rum!

Pagan Pete Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 So I done took a lil break from the game, wot as that last patch gave me indigestion. I come back from a long walk on the beach with the cabin boy, and decide to go fer a little cruise with the 30 minutes i had before life got in the way. I sail out in The Banshee just looking to catch one o them AI traders real quick, as I had a hankering to get sea spray in me face. Loe an Behold there is an unescorted trade brig by some feller! I set course to intercept, all sneaky like, and I maneuvers in behind him so he don't see me comin'. Battle commences and I be right beside the hapless victim! I throws her into the bow o me prey, and jumps over the gunwales screaming "Got ye now, ye bastards!" The brig's crew were in no mood fer a fight and laid down there arms as fast as gravity would pull em down! The ships were ours! This here GOLD trade brig were all kinds of nice, so we decided on keeping her and her cargo, and her cabin boy. We set sail with her precious booty o ferrous ore and oaken logs, and no sooner than that we are beset by 5 angry US captains out fer vengeance and looking to hang ole Pete and his crew! Pagan Pete baint so easily hanged however, and I stole me a right good ship! left em eatin my wake as swift as a California Southwester! Now in the fog and the dar after some chase, I turns fer home. Loe and Behold, after some time, we comes right too it! Now that were an excellent use o me half hour! Bwhahahahaha! Pagan Pete [_]P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagan Pete Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 SO I set out in me surprise, the Harpy, to go on the account. I sails up toward Charleston, and on me way I find a feller on his trade brig. So we pulls up and attacks her. At the start O battle, I says to him; "Surrender is a viable option, here." His reply, "So is ramming!" Well, id already made preparations to load chain shot, and so as he steered towards me, i let lose a broadside down the length of his rigging! He crew were shocked by the intensity of the barrage! I let loose another shot with me stern guns and I turned through for the second broadside. I replied, "Its not an option any more! =oD" He struck his colours, and i set him and his crew ashore… minus the handsome little platinum blonde cabin boy of his. But wait! Theres more! I get to Charleston and there I spy a trade cutter and an Indiaman trawling the waters. I close in and begin the attack. The cutter set sail and fled straight away, with a few shots in his canvas as a going away present. The Indiaman and her crew were so stupefied at this, that they were totally unprepared for the onslaught!!! Just then, however, a US Navy Belle Poule shows up to render his assistance. It takes a good look at the wind, and I reckon we can capture this here ship before the Belle is in range. We close and board her… The crew was leaderless, as their captain was in a drunken stupor below!!! They took a bit of subduing, but as we got her under control, the Belle is almost upon us!!! "He got here quick!" I says. I give orders for the Quartermaster, Mr. Grimoire, to take 60 men and get the prize ship the hell out of here! I fires off a broadside of chain at the Belle, wot to both keep him occupied, and slow him down. Mr Grimoire makes good his escape. I follows suit in the harpy soon after. No damage! Onboard the india, in addition to another cute cabin boy, are TWO treasure maps! Along with tons and tons of quality fish! We sails back to port, sell the fish… which took some time, and then readied the Sybil to go quest after the treasure! Arrr har har!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagan Pete Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 The Capture of Pagan Pete were celebrated by the crew of the Navy ships, wot caught the Harpy and brought her low. Pete and his crew were now in chains in the Charleston Prison. The Citizens rejoiced! But all was not quiet... In his head, Pagan Pete, ever wily, was attempting to effect their escape. He knew It had to be done the very night they were brought in of it wouldn't happen at all. Little Willy, the ginger cabin boy, leaned against Pagan Pete and cried. Pete comforted the lad with a one arm hug, as his mind raced. "How did it come to this?" sobbed Little Willy. "Bah." Said Pete, "Happens every time there be a major change in the game mechanic. Don't you worry your little red-head about it. Ole Pete will adapt and overcome. I walkways does." "But Captain…" said the 3rd mate, Mr. Ply, "…Surly we will hang in the morning." "May be, Mr. Ply, but I reckons they want to make a big show bout it. These big power types always do and that gives us an opportunity, fin we can find it." Pete would have paced the room but her were chained to the wall. The crew of the Harpy was so large, there weren't enough room in the prison to isolate and chain the whole of them. He took stock of their situation. Litlte Willy and several crewmen were in one cell, and the bulk of the crew were in the main holding pen. Outside church bells rang occasionally, over the din of the crowds celebrations and fireworks. The jail was sparsely lit with lamps, and he could make out only a few items which may have been of some use. They had, in their cell, a wood bucket for a chamber pot and the clothes on their backs. Outside the cell a few armed guards, taunted and gloated. it was the start of a plan. They and al the tools to get out of the cell and escape, if only they could get Pete unchained from this bloody wall! "Mr. Ply. Throw a tantrum and smash that shit bucket. Then ye men un shirt and tie a good strong rope of em." Whispered Pete. "We'll use the planks as batons for a windlass and weapon both!" Mr. Ply went off on a rant as to how they were all going to die, and threw the bucket onto the ground, smashing it into its constituent bits! "Damn it! Why did I ever agree to this fools errand!" He Bellowed, picking up the pieces and hurling some of them, along with insults at the other crew in adjacent cells. "Now Im gonna die here, and the last faces I'll see are you ugly lot!" There was much ruckus from the other crew, but the calm face Pagan Pete gave them, they knew something was afoot. The Guards haven taken a few moment to silence the commotion, mainly with shouts and a few well place rifle butts, didn't notice one of the pyrates tie the shirt rope betwixt two of the bars. Hidden from view amidst the distraction he took the baton and placed it into the makeshift rope and began to turn it. "Get ready men." Pete said motioned for his mean across the way to resume the ruckus. The guards momentarily turned to look at the commotion, as shoes, boots, buts of broken buckets and handfuls of poo were throw at them! Pete nodded. The makeshift windlass had bent the bars far enough for the smaller members of the crew to escape the cell and accost the guards in the main room! Poo covered wooden batons went to their furious work! In a few moments, Pagan Pete's expert crew slaughtered them and took their weapons… But they ere not out yet. They convened a war council quickly. "Any o ye negroes been in Charleston?" Pete asked in a whisper. "I have." A slender negro by the name of Bixby said. "Good. I need you to play the part of a slave again. We'll get them bars on the street level and…" "But capt'm sir, I can no get outta demm bars, no how. I isn't not small!" "Damn. yer right. Willy! can ye play street urchin again?" "Yup!" said Willy. "Good. same plan, but WIlly will get out and set afire to the one thing they will all have to run and fight it…" "The church?" asked a man. "Nay, the tavern!" Pete replied. "Men wot don't go to church will go to a beer hall!" The same windlass technique was made of the street level bars, in silence. The dark shadows of the unlit streets were all the cover need. Willy slipped away in the shadows. Not long after… the cry if "Fire!" were heard! The townsfolk were alarmed, the perimeter guards taken aback! They rushed to the tavern with blanket and bucket, ignoring the orders of the man in charge. The building went up swiftly, for Willy had set it alight in two places to be sure. Then he ran up to the flummoxed captain of the guard. "Wht about the prisoners sir?" the dirty, soot and grim covered boy asked. "Damn!" the captain cried. He ran in and upon gaining entry to the jail, was quickly dispatched! "Sir" said mr ply. "Slight problem. No key on him!" "Well. Don't just stand there. Go get some damned blacksmith tools fer me n the rest of the men!" A group of half a dozen pyrates slipped out of the jail, the fire now having spread to the adjoining brothel! The menfolk of Charleston were beside themselves with worry at this disturbing development! "No ale and no whores??? FIGHT HARDER MEN!!!" Cried a big surly fellow. The sortie pyrates came back with some mallets and iron spikes. They quickly went to work forcing open the links of the chain, rather than the cuffs themselves, as it were simpler and far less dangerous to the occupants. "Now lads. Grab wot ye can and follow me!" Pagan Pete bellows in a war cry. "We'll fight our way to the docks if we have to, but we best keep this quiet like." The men ha no chance of going unseen of course. They guards could not help but notice over 250 men escaping the jail, but having set aside their weapons to fight the fires, they were easy prey for the bucket, mallet, and chain wielding pyrates! All of whom were desperate not to die! Having slaughtered their way to the wharf, Pete and his now reduced crew spied a small clipper that would suit their purpose! It couldn't carry more than 50 men, so Pagan Pete clicked the slider and sent the remainder of his crew back into the free crew pool. The 50 men now boarded the clipper and subdued the sleeping 20 man crew. they cast off like demons possessed! Narry in the tales of the sea has a crew cut lines and loosed sail faster than that desperate lot! Fortunitly, by the graces of Flying Pig Cloud, the tide was ebbing and the clipper setting sail with the tide went unnoticed! And thus Pagan Pete and his crew escaped, and Little Willy was officially know as Red Willy. To this day, Pagan Pete still wears the one shackle and bit of chail in his left wrist, as a reminder to himself and a cautionary tale to others. clink-clinka-clink…. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
