After the
landing, there were two skirmishes with
the Duke
of York and Albany's Maritime Regiment of Foote.
The first
ended with the capture of Cap'n Blunderbuss Bragg.
After a
sham trial, in which Cap'n Bragg was convicted, and
sentenced
to hang, he was rescued by the Brethren. This was
followed
by another battle, in which the King's Men were routed.
As things
turn mean, the Brethren form up under the skull and crossbones.
We are
no strangers to fighting on land, many of us
having
fought in the wars on the Continent.
Rummy O'Nally
seems to have taken a hit, but whether from battle or bottle remains to
be seen.
Meanwhile,
the rest of the Brethren look to their weapons.
The battle
rages as the Kalmar Nyckel awaits the outcome.
Somewhere
to the right is the foe, who are about to break and run.
Cry Havoc!
The King's men have fled or fallen and the beach is ours!
As we regroup,
we find Rummy O'Nally alive and well. Must've been the bottle afterall.
