Summary
;


•
Plot
:
Maiden Voyage

Assembling in the Rusty Anchor, the crew of the Titan enjoyed a few cups of 'Rum', soliciting customers and peers for their voyage to Ardougne- the majority remaining aboard the vessel to prepare it for the journey ahead. Before long, they had solicited a few customers and Vivienne, the ship's new cabin boy, and ventured back to the vessel. Within the hour the Titan cast off and was on her marry way, cutting sleekly through the Musa Strait. Accompanied by very vocal shanties from Liam McSorley, the schooner was making good time.

Appearing from below decks, Captain Benedict Porter brought with him Rosalin, the controversial recently-assigned First Mate and Harold Smith, navigator. Meanwhile, Skye MacPherson headed below decks with Ned Jones to ensure everything up and running, the latter returning shortly after to report to the Cap'n. Vivienne was finding his place aboard the vessel, with Leon Torris offering sermons to help guide the ship safely, and to prevent seasickness amongst the guests below decks.

After a few hours, the sun was beginning to set, the northern horn of Karamja in sight- a peaceful lull whilst Liam was below decks meant that it was all but quiet aboard the Titan . Of course, this didn't last for long, the lookout's voice piercing the idyllic scene.

"Sail, north by northeast- Asgarnian colours!"

Whilst an Asgarnian ship was very little to worry about, Ben summoned the more diplomatic crewmates and prepared for the worst. Thanks to Sire William Skeat's investments, the Schooner's ferrying of passengers was a mask for illicit smuggling, and a search would both delay the Titan 's legitimate practices and likely curb Red Stripe's up-and-coming business efforts. As the Asgarnian ship drew closer, Leon Torris and Rosalin prepared to negotiate. Buying Plant Feed

The Man-o'-War guided itself parallel to the Titan , slowing to match the heavy laden Schooner's speed. Whilst the Titan was large for vessel of her classification, the Asgarnian warship towered over her by two decks. Appearing at the balustrade of the behemoth was the figure of Angus MacPherson, renowned pirate hunter and ex-Governor of Ashdale. Alongside him, his first mate and bo'sun, the prior shouting in a hoarse voice over the calm waves, creaking timber and billowing sails.

"State your destination and intentions!"

Upon instruction from Benedict, Leon Torris emulated an Ardougnian accent. Since they were planning to pass through Camelite waters anyway, the Titan was already flying an Ardougnian merchant ensign. Meanwhile, below decks, Skye was instructed to ready a broadside in the event that negotiations go south. Whilst the Man-o'-War was calm and well-regulated, the smaller Schooner was rife with uncertainty and panic, especially present in the passengers.

The negotiations went back and forth for a while, with both Rosalin and Leon charming and persuading the Asgarnian vessel to allow them free passage, Angus seemed convinced that they were telling the truth, and that the Titan wasn't, in fact, a pirate vessel. However, at this moment, Harold the navigator drew his cutlass, and signalled the warship, charging for Ben's turned back.

From the warship came sixty eerie clanks, almost in unison, as the gunports opened up upon the starboard deck. The command echoed across the gap between the two vessels, yet was muted by the broadside of sixty cannons exploding into action, a great wall of smoke rippling with cannonballs that reduced the midsection of the Titan into splinters and splatters of gore. The ship was sinking fast, and Skye ordered the crew abandon ship, the duel between Benedict and Harold interrupted by Ned, Rosalin taking initiative to jump overboard with the captain.

Some hours later, most of the surviving crew washed ashore the northern coast of Musa Point, the dreamy white sands stained red and littered with scrap. In the distance, the Man-o'-War disappeared over the horizon, and all that was left of the Titan was her foremast, Kandar ensign drooping over the cracked timber. Ned, Liam and Rosalin worked together to establish a camp and organised the remainder of the crew into foraging parties. Later into the night, driftwood was gathered and bundled to create a beacon.
