Your eminence, the Eslandolan emissary Major Esmando Contilla DiMaria Nunes awaits at your door and requests and audience with your holiness. <sigh> Show him in Robin. Captain Meloche a pleasure to see you in such fine health. In fact, how you maintain such a healthy state in such a dreadful place is a mystery to me. Would you share your secret? If you did, I assure you it would be a most profitable venture and you would barely notice my share of the gross. But excuse me, I digress. I have with me your payment for services (in gold as you asked and not stock certificates. How quaint) to the esteemed people's council of the Eslandolan Republic. And by that of course, I mean for your fighting on our behalf against the vile Mardierian Navy. You have been a boon to us these recent months, but with chagrin I most now inform you that there has been error in calculations. When I set out to see you I had payment for the three warships that been reported as captured by you Captain, but upon arrival I noted that four stood at anchor in the harbour including the ship-of-the-line Gorgon. Congratulations on a momentous feat Captain. I assure you the council will be informed upon my return so they can deliberate on... You are wrong. ...I don't understand. The three original ships are my lawful prizes, claimed rightly under maritime law. But the Gorgon belongs to my guest. Your guest? Allow me to introduce Admiral Yohan Armentura Cadiz of the Royal Mardierian Navy, who is visiting with me at the moment. WHAT!!! YOU!? You murderous dog, I will cut you down where you stand! This one shows spirit! HA! Have at you sirra! Ah, in the end a feeble effort at battle by a weak-willed merchant. What a pity. I had hoped for something more strenuous. And I do apologize to your eminence soiling your carpet. Think nothing of it Admiral. There was a reason I chose red. Robin, fetch Admiral Cadiz a chair and brandy for us both. I thank you your eminence. Your hospitality is most suitable. Now to business. You have agreed to dispense with aiding these pitiful money counters in exchange for both a clearing of all past grievances by the Marderian crown, as well my handing over of the officer who turned on you during your tour with us under Letter of Marque. This of course pleases me, but I do beg to ask a question of you Lord Bishop. Feel free to ask Admiral. A guest's smallest request should be as an order. Why so cheaply? A warrior of your stature, and with the forces at his disposal, should be able to demand a small fortune for his services. Ahhh. For me, fate has taken a hand. That traitor in your hold is far more valuable to me than any gold or jewels. That, and the fact our previous arrangement ended on such a poor note (costing me the Donatus) due to those unforeseen circumstances, it would be petty had I not forgiven you and your nation after your polite approach. Well said sirra! A toast then, to Royal Mardier! Nation of Warriors! May she once again take her rightful place in Terraversa and the world! Yes, to Royal Mardier. As we now drink as comrades, just a friendly caution to you Admiral; A man can only be so forgiving. xxx/xxx/xxx Long story short, I return the Letters of Marque for Peregrine, Hera's Fury, and Night Whisper as of 11:58 pm March 19, '617. PS: the Admiral speaks like a Sontaran in my mind's theater. PPS: thanks for an evening of crashing my system photobucket, you laggy piece of megabloks.

Situated on a spur of rock at the base of the southern cliff face, and near the mouth of the breakwater, the Fort of San Millar guards the harbour entrance of Charlatan Bay. Having been both designed and built by architects in the employ of the colony's Ashen Guard Mercenary Corps, it displays a degree of professionalism not commonly associated with the pirate haven. The 2nd Battalion under command of Major Cavallero presently garrisons the installation. ===/===/=== Damn it all, but @Mike S made angled walls look far easier than they proved in practice. Still I am happy with what managed to accomplish with the bricks at hand. This will be licensed as a Medium Fort in Charlatan Bay... because I frankly don't trust you guys.
