Press of Wonder, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – October 26, 2011 – by Ashlynn – A cargo vessel will be leaving a Skara Brae port this weekend carrying a valuable cargo bound for the isle of New Magincia. It has become known that the infamous pirate Captain Blackfoot intends to try and seize the the vessel and the wares it carries. As a result, the Guard of Guardian’s Gate have pledged to escort the ship safely to it’s destination.
Lord Wat, an envoy from Guardian’s Gate attended the statehood meeting last night looking for any who might volunteer to aid them in their endeavour. He informed us that the ship would be leaving on October 29th (Saturday) from Skara Brae docks in Felucca at 10pm by the eastern clock. Volunteers should arrive shortly before departure. Alternatively, they can contact Lord Wat, Lord Gowron or Lady Daria directly and express interest.
But the would-be defenders were not the only ones present. Captain Blackfoot also attended the meeting, letting everyone know on neutral ground that he was determined to attack the ship and any that escorted it. He also seemed to suggest that aspiring corsairs were welcome to go on the account with him if they so wished.
I intend to be there in some capacity to fulfill my role as reporter and perhaps more, though I am yet to decide exactly how much more yet.
