Riots and Fire at the Harbor

Post by Rohan »

It was a tiring day and night for the young Centaur Knight. As the mob began to gather, shortly after the murder of the poor fisherman by the Galleon of King Croft at the docks, it was all the young Knight could do to retain some order as the fires began. It didn't help either that the boisterous and notable Pirate King, Jaimie Lachlan, had led the angry gathering in seeking justice for the poor man. And despite all his efforts, the young centaur couldn't prevent the first lobs of torches and fiery grenades towards the two Goldcroft ships. One of which had originally done the deed and left the fisherman and his small boat at the bottom of the bay. Yet with the help of other Knights, guild Pages and Squires, they contained the blaze to the offending ships, now a charred and smoldering heap in the lapping water of the harbor. However, there was some loss of life aside from the fisherman. Though to the Centaur, it seemed Lord Croft wasn't too shaken up by the loss of his ships and their crew - made up mostly of slaves and indentured servants. Those of which lay on the docks unclaimed and not laid to rest. Those of Devardec, Rohan and his Squires had taken away with much dignity and laid to rest, their families seen to and rendered aid.

And as the Knight watched a ship sail away from the harbor, Rohan noted that there now seemed to be an open war between the fleet of Goldcroft and the Pirate fleet of Jaimie Lachlan.

"Jarenmar protect us," the young Knight sighed, then sat down after cleaning himself up, and wrote a quick report to his Guildmaster and another to his Commander, Equinox and Lady Makali. He felt odd as a mere Private in the ranks to have dealt with all the issues and planning, but, well...someone had to do it, and so....he did.
