Black Port: Crimson Seas

Black Port: Crimson Seas

0 INK

Pirates Wanted… Dead. Tis time to raise hell upon the seas or enforce the brutal laws of the Black Shield Empire. Bring home victory… or meet the oceans eternal embrace.

3,567 readers have visited Black Port: Crimson Seas since TheRavenandThePawn created it.

Introduction

(Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRBbusgl ... re=related )

The once cesspool known as Black Port now has sunk even lower where once poverty ran rampant destitution flooded the streets with beggars and homeless. Where once disease killed one of every family it now wipes entire households out. The strict nature of its regime under the Pirate Lord and its actual founder Lord Orion the only man who had brought the rabble of the sea beneath one banner. Now lays slain his blood still warm as it pools around his cold body.

The once weak Humanic Navy now wilts away into a powerhouse under The Black Shield Empire. All who defy are put to the sword. Lord Orion his home stormed… all its residence put to death. Dread Lord Vargus hunted down and hung until dead, Lord Zithar placed in the deepest of dungeons beneath Black Port while the likes of Lord Zakia and Malok faced the Guillotine, even Lady Galia met her end with stones tied to her wrists and ankles before being thrown overboard into deep waters as Lord Maxwell felt the pain of his sins burned away at the stake with flames abound and molten lead the only thing to cool his throat. As blood filled the seas… this blood of privateers, so to did the great Lord Nal’ithar fall sword in hand a mountain of corpses around him and a newly dubbed ship graveyard around his sinking vessel.

Tis ill times indeed many have fallen… and few remain. The once most powerful force in the western seas now buckles upon its knees with the ever growing power of the Black Shield Empire and its dark Tyrant and once savior Araka Silverblade. He who personally put one of the greatest captains to sail under the old regime to death with his own sword. With heroes of old and legends of now slain, who would defy him. Who would rise against the every flowing inky clouds that slowly descend swallowing all hope… consuming all light until we are left as blind as myself… here in the deepest pits of this Hell upon earth known as Black Port… may Kaxis give us mercy.

Vessels. (Feel free to make your own ships just P.M. them for an OK first though.)

Pirate [I]
Angel of the West. These speed based vessels can support ten cannons on each side while capable of outrunning most ships they are very lightly armored and thin. Easily capsizes but is capable of taking minimum damage while fleeing.

The Basilisk. A strangely designed pirate ship, shallow and slightly wide this ship has its sails based on its sides and is capable of gliding silently over water and it is said given enough wind that they can “fly” if only a few feet off the water. This ship though is more named for the large sets of mortars it is equipped with capable of raining death and despair fro above.

Fist of the Fell. A heavy warship which holds three masks and over thirty cannons. Heavily armored and covered in defensive positions this ship is easily the best ship for brute strength under pirate control.

Shackles of the Impure. A specially designed blockade runner. Built so most of its hull is under water allowing it to easily slip through larger ships. Armed with only one small cannon on its roof its sole-purpose in combat is to sneak up on enemy warships and puncture their lower hulls with a close range cannon burst.

Lord of the Brine. A Capital ship used only by pirate lords. Fast enough to out run naval interceptors but armed well enough to defeat enemy warships. Housing eighty cannons moderately armored its armed with two harpoon guns and a catapult which is used to lob jars of Greek fire onto enemy decks to clear them before boarding.

[I] Humanic Navy


(Out of Date)
Hand of the Heavens. A fast interceptor ship capable of running down most vessels. Slower then Angels of the West but much more deadly. Armed with twenty cannons on each side this war vessel is moderately armored and more then capable of out maneuvering combat vessels.

Tear of the Saint. A warship armed with sixty cannons total. Heavily armored but still fast enough to catch other warships this ship maneuvers slowly but is armed with a battering spike on its bow for shattering through enemy hulls.

Sinner Among Saints. The Capital ships of the Humanic Empire. Armed with over a hundred and twenty cannons in total this hulking warship is slow but powerful. Capable of overpowering all but the best captains with pure brute strength and board ships with its massive crew.

(Current Standard)

The Blessed Cross. Ship designed to run down and capture ships. The fastest ship created by the Black Shield Empire. They were the ships that ran down many of the pirate lords and caught them in the dead of night.

Vanguard of Faith. These hulking ships are equipped with over three hundred cannons. With four masts and metal plating on its bow.

Touch of Heaven. A “rocket” ship designed for annihilation enemy ships. Armed with a single Hwach'ahttp://strangeweaponoftheweek.com/strangeweapons/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/hwacha1.jpg ) they send swarms of death propelling towards their enemies.. Dangerous against masts and dry wood.

The Guardian of Hell. These hulking Capital ships are said to be an eye sore holding three hundred cannons, four Gattling Guns (http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/2/2e/ ... n_1865.jpg ) One Hwach'a. (http://strangeweaponoftheweek.com/stran ... wacha1.jpg ) and heavy armor.

Black Jet Empire

Dissention. A light ship used as an interceptor. Housing sixty cannons and metal plating this heavy ship is the fastest and lightest ships the Black Jet Empire uses. Capable of holding of a Tear of the Saint with ease.

Obelisk of the Hammer. These massive ships are armed with a single small cannon based atop a giant towering bladed bow. Set with heavy metal plates that deflect most cannon fire the only vulnerable places on these juggernauts are their decks and the submerged hull. Steam powered with the use of oars and masks this ship can pick up high speeds in a straight line leveling anything and everything in its way. Used for transporting armies these ships tear apart enemy lines with ease until boarded or struck with a lucky cannonball.

Obelisk of the Gods. These capital ships are much like their lesser versions of the Obelisk of the Hammer. Though these ships don’t have hulking bows instead a flat platform armed with a massive cannon replaces the cutting edge of their lesser forms. Still made for ramming its main cannon can fire over twenty full sized cannonballs at once. Ripping apart enemy ships at such rates it isn’t funny. Though do to its weight the bow of the ship is lightly armored compared to the rest of the heavily armored ship. Also lower decks give a chance to strike at the wooden decks which are vulnerable.

"Ha, ha!" Sirius laughed happily as he politely asked Neria to turn over the helm to him. He spun it around, dodging as many projectiles as he could, "Reload the cannons, my hearties! Sorcerers, deflect the missiles and javelines!"

He smiled approvingly as they sent another barrage at the Guardian of Hell. One more like that, and that ship should sink. Not that the Sea's Chaos didn't get hit as well. He had never been more grateful for the wood being enchanted or that he didn't even need to give the order for his crew to start pumping seawater into the fires that began to lick at his ship.\

"It's a good thing our cannoneers are required to be sober on duty, then," Deadalous grunted, sending a javelin into the sea with a swish of his hand.

By now even though it had sustained severe hull damage do to it not being armored yet the Guardian of Hell’s Gatling guns began to send a hail of twenty cannon balls a minuet towards the pirate vessel. Along with another hail of fire rockets, harpoons, javelins, cannonballs, grapeshot, and an occasional magical spell. They didn’t seem to willing to just role over and die… but it was starting to look extremely one sided for the pirates.

"Shit. Why couldn't their ammo have not been loaded yet," Sirius cursed, spinning the wheel of the ship shapely so it just avoided a nasty group of cannonballs. Already, they were taking damage, but, thankfully, no one was dead and the Sea's Chaos was rather durable. He smiled grimly as it returned fire, aiming near the bottom of the Guardian of Hell so it'd keep taking on water.

Scarlet watched the duel between the ships, and for a moment considered going to the aid of the Chaos, but ultimately she decided it would not be worth giving up the advantageous vantage point on the rest of the ocean. It looked like Sirius had this one in the bag anyway, so to speak. Crow was still fixed on looking out his spyglass from the nest, but thus far he had reported nothing coming in from that direction, and she knew he would certainly be able to see for a few miles at least.

Maurenne stood at the prow of the ship, eyes fixed on the boat under assault. With a small sigh, she aimed a blast of pure concussive force at the Gatling gun with the best angle on the allied ship and released. That should help a little, at least. Though she was mostly a weather witch, she did know other spells, after all.

As the sky was still full of projectiles one might have missed a different swarm of airborne forms cutting their way across the sky. Armored though roughly the same size as a horse a squad of Jarei riders moved swiftly towards the Chaos. Several releasing arrows with dead on aim. While some waited to get close enough to drop jars of Greek Fire down towards the deck of the ship. Some however were dropping hand grenades. (The black balls with the fuses). Which meant the Chaos was now under attack from land and air.

With the magical bolt let loose one of the twin Gatling guns were destroyed, however they seemed to also have a mage or two for when this happened the air around Maurenne shimmered before it filled with a swarm of wasps that began to rampage across the ship.

"Ah... Bugger. I thought they weren't expecting us!" Sirius cursed, turning the helm sharply, "Keep firing the cannons, lads! If you're not, shoot these things down! I'm not losing another ship. Signal the Nightfall!"

It was a pity they didn't have rifles like the navy, but a volley of arrows, musket shots, and pistol shots were enough to get take some of them down as some of the magi summoned wind to blow the rest away. Shift stroked his chin. When did the Black Shield employ Jarei riders? The Humanic Empire definitely didn't use those, at least, not at sea. The gnome yelped as a wasp stung him, causing Daedalous to chuckle as he sent a gust of wind at the swarm of wasps.

"No time to think, Master Gnome," he quipped. The gnome glared at him.

"And follow nature's impulses? Like Sirius?!"

"Jarei!" The call came from the nest at about the same time as Scarlet could just make out the figures in the sky coming towards them. Unfortunately, at the same time, her ship was swarmed with wasps of all things.

"Maurenne, Sarra! Drown them, burn them, just get them away from the rest of us! Everybody else, get ready to deal with the Jarei riders in the sky, and the guns on that ship. We're moving in!" Unslinging her bow from her back, Scarlet knocked and arrow and nodded to Stefan, who was manning the helm, to steer them closer. The young man nodded, and the Nightfall was off at a good clip towards the Chaos.

Maurenne and Sarra worked together, summoning water from the ocean about them and drowning the wasps that appeared on deck, washing most of them back into the sea. As soon as Scarlet got close enough, the loosed an arrow towards a rider in the midst of a dive. nothing was ever as simple as it sounded, and that was the long and short of it these days.

Songrose hesitated as the ship was swarmed with wasps, and jarei riders came in to attack. She glanced at Scarlet as she gave orders; so they were finally going to attack. She unslung her own bow, ready to help against the jarei as soon as any of them came within range. She was finally going to be able to do something other than standing around. This suited her a bit better. She watched Scarlet fire an arrow at one that had started to dive, and notched an arrow herself. She watched the riders, aiming an arrow at the group, waiting until they got a little closer before she fired. And, when they were close enough, she fired the arrow at the closest one she ould find, and notched another arrow, aiming at the next closest one.

As the wasps subsided one of the Jarei riders called his mount to land. Though it was smaller then a horse its powerful talons tore through the wood which it landed upon. Its deadly beak gleamed in the light of the Dry Dock’s cannon fire… long with a sharp point… evolved from a necessity to defend themselves against armor scaled predators. One thrust of the beak would perforate just about anything… its muscles were immensely built up here and combined with its feet it could rip men to pieces and perforate them with a single thrust. The rider drew back his pike thrusting it towards who ever looked like they might be important. As another rider landed nearly on top of who ever was steering. “All who oppose to the glorious empire shall die.” The rider shouted as he drew a long sword indiscriminately swinging it towards those around him. The rest of the Jarei seemed to weave for the most part in and out of ranged attacks… occasionally one let forth a shriek before plummeting into the depths of the water.

"Oh, really? I'm still alive!" Sirius quipped, sheathing his bow and drawing his own knives as he charged at the rider with the long sword together with Brom, who had hefted his great axe and was prepared to finally cut someone down.

Daedalous scowled. Sirius really needed to be less cocky. With that though, he summoned a greater gust of wind and sent it towards another Jarei rider, "This dock is too well defended!"

Since it was Sirius's ship that was under the most direct assault, Scarlet and her crew could do little more than offer ranged support. That, though, was still considerable. While Scarlet herself, Songrose, and a few other assorted crew members shot at any Jarei and riders who came close enough, Stefan was readying his own offensive.

The lad was no magician and no charismatic figure, but he was a technological genius, and he liked to think that this counted for something. Steering the Nightfall so that the starboard side was aimed for the Chaos, he leapt belowdecks and, leaving the cannons alone, went straight for the more adjustable Gatling guns. These, he had modified only a bit, but the addition was going to prove most useful here: instead of being at a fixed angle, they could rotate quite sharply up or down, which in this case meant they could take aim at the sky without running the risk of hitting the allied crew. aiming carefully, Stefan picked out what looked to be the leader and fired a barrage. The guns were pretty accurate, but movement was a variabl he could not entirely account for.

Sir stared up at the swarm of Jarei who were not flitting past the large and easier to see munitions of the Gatling gun. He turned his attention once more towards the dock. “For every great wall there is a greater conqueror!” The old man laughed before moving his arms forward. “ELDIS SUN!” A massive ball of fire erupted from his hands its force splitting the water before him before crashing into the docks like a tidal wave made of fire. Screams and the scent of burning flesh filled the air. “I am tired… Morgana… I leave it to you…” Sir casually walked back below deck shivering rather intensely.

Morgana had been watching, standing by incase her father needed her help. “Yes father…” She stood up solemnly. “I think we’ve done enough damage… we need to pull back I have nothing that can take down such quick moving targets easily… instead we will escape under a smoke screen…” She moved her hands upwards. “Tal” and with this pitch black clouds began to flow forward with a gentle wind. “Follow the wind and we will hit the current… and be well on our way to escape.”

Sirius nodded in agreement with Morgana. Yes, they had beaten back most of the jarei riders for now, but he had a feeling more were coming. Jarei bred like bugs, it seemed. Either that or the Black Shield Empire really did have an extensive breeding program. Maybe both. They had accomplished their objectives, though. The Guardians of Hell were sinking to the bottom of the ocean. That was no meant feat. He shouted out.

"Fall back. We're done here!" As he was shouting this, he headed for the helm, quickly stirring the ship away from the shore and the deadly projectiles being fired from there. He grinned slightly over at the Nightfall, tilting his hat as he did so. No need to let Scarlet know he was ever worried at all.

"Tch." Stefan decided that he needed to figure out some way to increase the rate of fire on these things. Nevertheless, he heard his Captain's commands to make ready for departure, and that meant that he was needed up at the wheel.

To his surprise, Scarlet was doing that herself at present, and so he resumed his navigator's post beside her as the crew scurried about to engage the sails and get them out. A smokescreen fell over them, but Stefan knew which direction they were going in without having to actually see it, and so it would prove no problem.

Scant minutes later, they were out and away, headed back towards Axandra, presumably, to plan the next course of action. Certainly, damaging a shipyard was tactically significant, but it was nowhere near the scale they would need to do real, crippling damage. Frankly, as much as he liked to rely on his rational mind, he was beginning to wonder if they weren't going to need to seek some supernatural help to get it done. There was no mistaking that Nexus had some, after all. They needed to learn that kind of thing, too, if at all possible. Number would never be on their side, so they were going to need to be far superior somewhere else, preferably skill and strategy. He hated luck.

“So… that was fun… a little excitement and danger… not as much as old times.” Morgana smiled pleasantly looking at the sky. “Your going to need to be trained properly and Father only trains on pupil at a time… which means we may having a lot of… personal time together Mr. Jenkins.”



Mara strolled out from the under deck looking around before tilting her head solemnly. “Uh… were being followed…” She said pointing over to a clear horrizon. “Hiding with magic… my brother must really hate you if he’s resorting to that so early… anti-magical shields… very well hidden except the wave’s it hits are off by several seconds. Leaving the distinct impression of… looks like a…” She raised a brow seeming slightly confused. “A Tear of the Saint… those ships were decommissioned…”

Sirius stroked his chin, raising an eyebrow at Morgana. Well, she didn't give up, did she? If he had only met her before he meter Scarlet... Hm, maybe he could get Kate jealous. That'd be interesting to see and just might tell him how she felt about him. He grinned over at Mara.

"Well, I do have the tendency to rub off on people. Or rub them the wrong way. Either, or, or both," he told her with a laugh as he spun the helm sharply to follow Shift's directions to the route to Axandra, as though he had forgotten already. Well, sometimes he helmed the ship with a bit too much rum, but that was another story. He grinned at Mara's comment about the enemy ship. He spun the helm again to face the ship.

"Ah. Just like the good-ol' days. Oi! Daedalous! Projections!" he called even as Neria screamed at the men to assume battlestations. Daedalous nodded and murmured a few words, making the shapes of four more Chaoses appear, looking as real as the original, though with the ship's name reversed. Sure enough, as the Sea's Chaos fired her cannons, they fired their illusionary ones in unison. Sirius looked over at Scarlet's figure and shouted, "Let's double team 'em, shall we?!"

He left the decision up to Scarlet. If she moved to fire upon it from a distance, then he would join in, but if she moved to board... Sirius grinned. It had been a long time since they boarded a ship together and a new ship was always useful.

"... the hell?" Crow muttered to himself, peering at the Tear of the Saint out of his spyglass. "That can't be right, No way they'd send an old model like that after us... unless the crew's something special.

Scarlet was thinking the same thing. "Don't fire!" she yelled to Sirius. "There's something odd about this whole situation!" Sure, it was possible that the Black Shield was still using an old ship for some reason, but that wasn't all that likely. Maybe this particular vessel belonged to someone else. It was a shot in the dark, but maybe ti belonged to someone that wouldn't kill them on sight.

She'd have to wait until the could make out more details of exactly what they were dealing with, but that could be done. It would take nerves of steel on the part of everyone involved, but if the ship turned out to be hostile, it would be possible to tell in advance and still escape, she was almost positive. Plus, it was one ship, and they were two. Barring anything extraordinary aboard that ship, the advantage was theirs.

"Songrose!" she called for her newest crew member. "I want you to fetch the colored flags from the storage room!" There was a chance she might actually need to use them to convey a desire for parley if the ship did not belong to the Shield.

Sirius cursed, slapping himself for his stupidity! There had to be something special about the ship. He bellowed, "Hold your fire!!!!"

His crew fired a few more volleys before they heard them, but at last, they paused in their cannonades, though Daedalous still kept up his Projections. Sirius grimaced, looking through his spyglass at the ship. He was really hoping it was an enemy or someone they should shoot.

"Why do I never think these through?" he asked himself.

"That's something I ask myself all the time," Daedalous stated dryly.

"Not helping."

"My apologies, Captain."

The Tear of the Saint took a sharp turn when fired upon though I did no return fire merely strafe the best it could. Though when the cannons stopped firing it lowered the spell that made it invisible. Overly well kept for being out of date, the ship had blue and white flags which… seemed to glitter and hang rather lower for the wind. Those who could see it better with a spy glass would notice this identification flag was an old cloak and mantle, the shinning specks medals. Upon its side were “The White Saint.” Written in a elegant Elven script. A officer still bearing the uniform of the old regime stood upon the bow. Those who had sailed on the vessel before hand might recognize him as the Honor Blood Adam Senitora.

Songrose paused as the ships started to retreat at the order of the two captains. She glanced around, then at the ship that was coming after them. She looked up as Scarlet told her to fetch the colored flags. "Of course." She nodded, hurrying off to find them. She didn't know what good they did; she still had plenty to learn about being on the ship yet. At least she did know where the storage room was, though. Once she found the storage room, it didn't take her long to find the flags themselves. Shr hurried back to bring them to Scarlet.

"Here are the flags," she said as she approached.

"Oi, hoist the flag of the old regime!" Sirius ordered, signaling Daedalous to take down the illusions. Reluctantly, he did so, wondering if the other ship would take offense to their previous attack. Sirius grinned, mouthing the title of the ship. The White Saint. He had fond memories of that vessel.

"Maybe... Maybe Cameron's alive?" he asked himself hopefully before waving his hand and shouting at the top of his lungs, hoping that they heard him, "Oi! Sorry about that! Thought you were Black Shield!"

Scarlet took the flags from Songrose with a smile and a nod. "Thanks, lass. Crow! Get down here!" Her first mate immediately complied, and she handed him the flags. Knowing what she wanted, he immediately ran up the one for parley, followed by the one for nonaggression. She had long ago promised not to fire upon that ship if it was still piloted by Cameron, but she was also of the belief that Cameron was dead.

Still, she recognized the figure of Senitora, and though she doubted he could hear Sirius at that distance, he and his crew would be able to see the flags beneath her normal red rose on a black field. Hopefully that would be sufficient.

"The White Saint... now there's a vessel I hadn't counted on seeing again..." she murmured to herself, but Stefan heard from beside her. He said nothing though, merely kept his hands at the tiller, ready to maneuver closer if the large ship agreed to parley.

The White Saint came to a stop and its own parley flags were drawn up the mast. The Honor Blood walked into the captain’s quarters before returning to await Scarlet lowering a gangplank so one or the other could cross over.

Scarlet noted the flags aboard the opposite ship, and then the gangplank, and then decided that though she'd be giving Senitora the advantage by doing so, she'd cross over to his ship. Gesturing for Stefan, Songrose, and Sarra to accompany her (three was a polite enough number), she crossed the wooden bridge between their ships, figuring Sirius would know enough to remain at the ready in case something went awry. She did not think it a good idea to inform the Saint that Zithar was aboard her ship, just in case, which was technically a breach of the chain of command, but still, the boat was hers, so it wasn't anything major.

"Captain Senitora," she greeted amicably, inclining her head. "It has been a long time. What brings you out to these seas?" She was genuinely curious; she was unsure what had happened to this ship or its crew in the wake of the Black Shield's advent. She certainly had not placed them as the sorts to convert, and had thought them in hiding or dead.

Songrose nodded, watching Crow signalling to the other ship. So this one might not be an enemy? Might not, but still might be. After all, Scarlet was bringing herself, Stefan, and Sarra along. She sighed quietly to herself before following Scarlet to the other ship. She was a little wary of the wooden board used as a birdge, but Scarlet had it trusted enough to cross, so she shouldn't have any problems. She glanced around carefully as soon as she was on the other ship, listening to Scarlet greeting the other captain. Apparently they knew each other, so that made things easier, she figured. Still, she looked around what she could see, keeping herself behind Scarlet as she did. She wouldn't want to cause trouble for Scarlet or the crew by wandering around on her own, on someone else's ship.
