*waves hands* Whoa! If they keep changing the format of the Downs, One is about to get confused tres rapido! (That was definitely a tri-lingual attempt!)
I am tres sorry about the delay on the next post I am frantically trying to find time for all my dooties. TOmorrow looks like a possibility but I want to get you guys to get into this RPG too. So how about someone else begin the next section of our outline if at all possible:
Quote:
- The next battle, Avershire takes on two Lesser Ships at the same time. Most of Avershire's crew boards the Regal Dawn to escape their ship (which is sort of attached to the Regal Dawn by grapnels) as the Might of Realge sinks The North Wind  bye bye. The grapnels are cut just in time and the Regal Dawn rights herself. The majority of Avershire's crew takes over the Regal Dawn and sends it after the Might of Realge to rescue the other members of Avershire's crew (who are overtaken by the corsairs of that ship). It is a hard fight, but the Regal Dawn eventually wins and the crewmembers who have survived the battles board her (both corsairs and Avershire's men).
(A life boat -maybe with Graring in it, Himaran? you decide- is launched at the last moment from the Might of Realge and speeds away without the know of Avershire to warn the Yonder Bound of the Regal Dawn's fate)
for later:- Avershire takes a role call and finds that he now only has 30 souls to man an 100 man ship. So he forces some of his corsair prisoners to join in the working of the sails and things of the sort while his men stand as guards or overseers.

We all ready know how the catapults work and I'm sure most of you now a wee bit about ship battle tactics from watching Pirates of the Caribbean (how about that anchor trick?) and Master and Commander and maybe some of us have seen Horatio Hornblower with Gregory Peck? or Cutthroat Island with Gena Davis? or any of those good ocean adventure movies I'm forgetting about. Lots of us have probably read some books too like
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle?
Captain Blood?
Billy Budd?
Pyrate? even
Moby Dick! There are plenty of them out there anyways. But even if y'all haven't there's plenty to get y'all going. So hopefully I'll be able to do something tomorrow--even if it's a short one-- but let's still have y'all do something too.
Thanks, I know you guys can do it!
