Mission:
CDR Mark Darknight began by assembling a crew of two score sea rat
along
with a score of monitors to go and retrieve the lost plunder. It was
smooth sailing for the first few days and the rest of the mission is
best
understood by the Journal entries of CDR Darknight.
October17,
We went through an incredible storm that seemed to come from a
southeastern
direction. The storm lasted for three days and we lost all of the
supplies
for the way back we will have to find quite a bit of supplies around
mossflower before we will be able to make the Journey home still no
sign of
land but our maps tell us we must be close to land.
October 19,
Land HOOOOO… and was sighted just about an hour ago. We have a strong
wind
at our backs so we should reach shore before nightfall. It's a sandy
coast
so we should have no trouble pulling right up to shore to gather some
supplies while we prepare to search the coast for the remains of the
ship.
October 31,
After over a week of searching we have found no more than enough food
to
keeps our stomachs from rumbling and we havenm't been able top find any
supplies I am leaving half of the crew on land while the rest of the
crew
and I go back into the ship and sail down the coast for a while to see
if
we have any better luck in another area.
November 9,
We found some drift wood that appeared to have the INSU symbol an the
side
and so have decided to land and see if we can find any survivors that
will
tell us where to look for the treasure.
November 10,
We found almost a score of survivors from the ship who had luckily
managed
to find supplies for a long trip back however they were not able to
give us
any Idea of where to look for the Plunder because of the storm that had
caused the shipwreck.
November 15,
I have decided that are best chance of finding the lost treasure was to
just begin diving. Luckily there has been a warm current flowing from
the
south and so we are able to dive without freezing. All we have found
so
far is one chest of lute as for the rest we are still looking. We set
up a
signal fire today and called the rest of my crew back so that we would
be
able to have more divers.
November 30,
We found the remainder of the plunder but it is very far out to sea.
Also
we have run in to the cursed GOUSIM. Because we are not causing any
trouble they have only been picking off our scavenging parties but if
we
don't gather some more supplies we could be stuck here for a long time.
On
the other hand all the plunder has been recovered so all we have left
to do
is collect some more food we have plenty of water from a nearby stream
and
so we hope to return to Sampetra soon.
December 10,
The GOUSIM launched a full scale attach today however with the small
camp
wall we set up our superior size and numbers easily turned them back
running we then able to raid there camp of supplies and now have enough
to
set sail for Sampetra.
January 5,
We have the Jetty in our view and will be home within the hour with all
plunder recovered and a score of homesick vermin who could use a good
grog
about now as for this mission it has been quite a breeze.
January 6,
MISSION complete all the plunder is returned to his Majesty's treasury
and
all vermin have been assigned to new ships and are awaiting orders fir
their next mission.
