Avast!

I hope ye’ve had time ta stock up on supplies, me ‘earties, because the British Royal man o’ war has clearly not turned tail and sailed back to port. It fact, it seems to have redirect’d course and is headin’ directly toward Deadman’s Bay. And let me tell ya what, mateys, I seen the captain through me spyglass and he seems upset. He threw his stupid British hat on the ground and stomped it.

Good thing that ship be so big, it sails quite slow. That said, it ain’t stoppin’, and we need ta protect not only our Bay, but very lives.

It looks like the man o’ war is about 25 nauts away, and depending on the wind could be here any day.

Why, just today the limey monstrosity sailed X nauts closer! (Hive account@piratedice knows how fast it be movin’).

Rally y’er crew, me ‘earties! Stock up on cannonballs and arrows. This is gonna be a battle that will go down in Pirate World history!

Objective: Prepare for a frontal assault from the man o’ war. It must be stopped before it reaches Deadman’s Cove!

Quest Log (turn 1):

1. The Man o' War moved 4 nauts. Only 21 nautical miles away from Deadman's Bay!
2. Hive account@kerrislravenhill of The Bloody Raven gives the captain of the Man o' War the most epic wedgie: https://steemit.com/hive-197918/@reverendrum/the-wedgie-heard-around-pirate-world. The HMS Boaty McCannonmonger will be in disarray with the incapacitation of Captain Smith. (8 damage and max chaos)
3. Hive account@the.partisan.spy's ritual to his dark gods spawns two mermaids for further support of The Iron Storm.
4. Hive account@drlobes and his fleet of 70 hard men, 3 ships, and gifted sirens gather their supplies for a boarding party under the cover of night. Next turn will be interesting.
5. Hive account@wwwiebe rams the Royal Man o' War with his new ship HSS Lucklastre and the assistance of sirens fer 11 damage.
6. Hive account@battleaxe (with a critical hit), launches a barrage of flame arrows, dealing 4 damage to the big boss ship. Meanwhile, her enchanting sirens lure 10 of its crew to their watery graves.
7. Maiden's Distress unleashes a volley of torpedoes with extra luck from Hive account@underground's siren "associates". 6 damage to the boss.
8. Hive account@miryam's fleet destroys every single sail on the might boss vessel with perfect accuracy.

Between the incapacitation of the captain of HMS Boaty McCannonmonger and the loss of a portion of her crew, the humongous vessel will need time to re-man positions while Captain Smith picks his massive wedgie out of his arse. Its efficacy will be significantly lower'd on turn 2. The boss is completely dead in the water.

Turn 1 is now over. All further actions will be voided. Stay tuned for a Quest update!
