Pirates and Slavers
« on: February 18, 2007, 04:03:39 pm »
A report that filters back across the western nations.

*Battered and weary the ships and crew of three of the Red Bears inner Blood Circle captains limped into Hurm harbor the other day after a moderately successful campaign into the slaver islands south of Molten Island.

The Soulreaper and the Seareaver escorted the badly damaged Trueflight into the harbor where an interesting change in politics in the port city took place.

Savier Morgensen himself was on hand to greet the captains of the three massive fighting frigates belonging to the Red Bear. There was a long often heated discussion outside the office of the Docks overseer. In the end the Captains of the Soulreaper and the Seareaver angrily returned to their ships and before long were sailing out of the harbor. Savier had denied them permission to dock and repair in the port.

The Trueflight was granted permission to dock and the Famous Captain Liselle Arcanbow was last seen entering the Silver Swords compound with Saviar Morgensen.

Word on the street is that the Red Bear and Saviar have had a falling out. What does this mean for the future no one is really sure right now.

Those who disembarked from the two ships before they left tell of a harrowing ordeal into Slaver territory. They tell of pitched sea battles, slaver towns full of the roughest people from the world, slaves, slavers, evil duerger, lizardmen, beholders and finally the Slavemaster that they were held prisoner by….the name on everyones lips; Zithgarlock! The tiefling creature that is part lizardman, part human and part seemingly red dragon….a formidable foe indeed.

These escapees rescued as the Red Bears captains recaptured the Trueflight and they fled the evil clutches of the slavers tell of some of their comrades left behind. Their last visions of them fleeing into the jungle as hastily formed units of slavers swooped on their positions.

A letter is tacked to a notice board on the docks in Hurm by the Port Authority Overseer. Its contents arouses some interest and soon news is passed by word of mouth to other nations via the merchant grapevine.

*Concerning the recent foray into nominated trading territory of the Silver Crescent Trading Company. The perpetrators of this abhorrant activity have been reported to the only central authority of the Kingdom of Dreger at this time. Lord Broeger has been made aware of the continuing harrassment of trading ships belonging to the Silver Crescent and as such any further attempts to harrass, destroy, cajol or interfere with Silver Crescent merchant vessals will result in charges being laid in Lord Broegers city of Prantz at the Rofireinite hall of Justice. Where, we have been assured, due Justice will be served against those who seek to waylay our vessals.

Concerning the spies who were captured on Onregado Island several weeks ago, they have been treated under the auspices of prisoners of war. Seeing that the notorious criminal the Red Bear has seen fit to wage war against us and these were his spies they have been dealt with appropriately. There will be no prisoner exchanges, no ransoms, these people are spies and in war spies are executed.

The Shiek.

A pall of black smoke drifts over the sea towards western Dreger from an island in the archipelago south of Molten Island. Some sailors have said that its coming from an island where the jungle has caught fire and is burning out of control. Being Slaver territory reports have been sketchy at best.

The merchant ship 'The Pheonix Rising' travelling from Point Harbour arrives 5 days late at it's destination in North Point.  The captain mentioned losing a few crates of goods overboard in rough seas, but otherwise the vessel is undamaged.
