Say siege to Blythe Harbor Docks

Observations

Erik has added a fire rack to his ship, recently renamed Snowbreaker. Initial tests seem to suggest it will assist in keep the crew warmer and help them endure the elements at winter sea.

Follow up

mission incomplete, recommend more stealth approach next time.

Preparation Details

Erik has added the aforementioned fire rack to the ship as well as a pair of 10 foot boat hooks and a bulls eye lantern to the ship. The combination of equipment made sailing successful and actually no damage to the ship for once. (Praise be to Tempus.)

Operation Details

Was assigned to sail to Blythe. Outfit ship as stated above. Winds were against us this time so slow sailing south this time. Was attacked by 4 aquatic based creatures enroute but dispatched them.





Encountered a person, called himself Sebastian, shipwrecked on some rocks at sea. We rescued him, and while in his presence not to speak of any critical or secure information.

He had amnesia but wore a Lord's Alliance pin on a military uniform. Due to his amnesia he felt he would be more harm than good on any mission we were on so we sailed him back to the shore of the mainland. We adv him we would return back this way in a few hours, and if he wanted a return trip to proper civilization, light a signal fire. Else he could return on his own through the wild.





We proceeded to the Harbor. We attempted a direct attack but were not able to penetrate the ship hulls to make sufficient damage to sink anything.





Additionally the docks have a signal bell set for emergencies. Future missions would need to plan accordingly. We evaced before encountering losses.





On return sail Sebastian did light a signal fire so we did retrieve him. Upon leaving the Snowdown darkness veil though, Sebastian faded with it, like a ghost, leaving only his Lords Alliance pin.





Reported back to Lt. Hyde-White. He seemed disturbed there after.
