[OL-FB] The forgotten isle

[Bodi]

Captain Surlecoup left the Duc without further inquiry and made his way for the port. He'd have preferred to have a better understanding of his mission but he knew he had to find the answer himself, as he wasn't asked to pose questions. 

Once on board of his new ship, he ordered to set course to a mysterious isle that doesn't appear on any nautical chart and lock himself in his quarter with the instruction of informing him only when they arrive at their destination.

The ship dropped anchor after an uneventful, there was a tiny isle with some kind of structures on it. Standing on the deck, Captain Surlecoup pulled out an envelope from his large pocket and read it content again, "it must be here, the secret deposit of Duc d'Eranos." Indeed, it was the Duc de Tourment (@blackdeathgr), the legendary Doublonoi who has financed this enterprise with his own funds.

Immediately, a long boat was lowered and rowed towards the isle. 
"We should have broughts more men with us, this looks a pirate lair to me," said Mr.Fish.
"Don't worry, my dear, they should fear us in that case," replied Surlecoup, "besides,don't you see that they are flying the Olean colors?"

Effectively, despite its appearance, it was guarded by a handful of Olean marines, who thought Surlecoup's men were there to relieve them. They felt terribly disappointed when they learned these sailors came here only to retrieve some gold. 

"Messieurs, can you stop spying at our pigsty? Your gold is over there." said an expressionless marine, while pointing a sandbank.

"You know, Mr.Fish, you were right, we should have brought more men with us," sighed Surlecoup when they finally managed to remove the statue and retrieve the gold chest beneath it.

Interesting and fun photo story. The space on the island was used optimally. A defensive position with a cannon, an observation tower, a pigsty and a beach with palm trees.

I spent them all , it's expensive to maintain a fleet, but be assured I'll figure out a way to reimburse you.

Nah, think about a mighty OL first, then a reimbursement, so don't worry about that. I am not a loan shark (Or maybe I should have been one!  )
