Conflict in the Caribbean
Conflict in the Caribbean http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu92/pncgm/1.gif A Game of Corruption, Greed, Deception, and Betrayal. It's 1724 in the Caribbean. The crisp, blue seas of the Caribbean have become a stage to which each of the world powers come to boast their wealth and their power, as well as to pursue wild endeavorers in an attempt to dominate their enemies. One cannot travel far without seeing the sails of a trade ship swirling through the waters, whether it be a Dutch merchant ship departing from Port Royal, or a Spanish fleet patrolling the bay of Havana. And immense all of this, we can sense tension. Baron Belicista was a rich Spanish nobleman who had just traveled to the Caribbean on means of diplomacy. He lived the life any man would want to live - unlimited wealth to his name, hundreds of men ready to sacrifice themselves at the flick of his wrist, and all the honors from the Crown that could be bestowed upon him. Yes, Belicista seemed to be envied by an man he met -- but perhaps this was a bad thing. It was a warm night in the early days of June when one of Belicista's guardsmen, making rounds aboard the Baron's great ship in the harbor of Port Royal, claims that he noticed the door to the Baron's cabin eerily open. Walking inside, he saw a sight of destruction -- furniture tossed over in it's place, glass shattered across the lavish satin carpet, and the silks of the gods tossed violently on the ground. But perhaps the most gruesome sight was not the evils done to the tapestry, but perhaps the bloodied, mangled corpse of the Baron lying in a pool on the floor. And now, on the eve of a new day in the Caribbean, the question is not only who murdered the Baron - but, why? In PNC's June Guild Event, pirate's who sign up will be assigned the role of one of the characters in our story. Your role may range from a soldier, to a British official, to even a lowly peasant, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Once all the roles have been assigned, that's where the fun begins. As time goes on, the characters in our story will begin to "interact" with each other through developments in the story (which will be posted by myself.) It is based off of these developments that the members in our game will begin to contemplate who murdered the Baron (your character may have killed him, and you won't even know!) and it is by this you on your own time will speak with others to try and figure out who you should conspire against! At the end of every phase in our story, you will send to me a vote as to who you want to see... "interrogated" in the story. This will continue until you finally catch the killer -- but does the story end there? Well.... I can't tell you that! Roles will be handed out on a first-come, first serve basis. To register, just post below - remember, PNC members ONLY! Registration will end on Friday, June 10th! Be sure to sign up as soon as possible! See you in the Caribbean, mates! Let the games begin... :knife: |

Now that you all have your roles, it is time for the game to begin!
Below are a few developments in the story. After you read these developments, you may want to begin discussing who you think you want to "interrogate" first. Then, I will post again tomorrow morning, which will cover all the characters not posted now, and then you will have a few days to debate/discuss (behind each other's backs! :degen:) before you vote. Round 1 Development Stage Lt. Horatio Laine (Dippy~Emily) meets Captain Hernan Vidaeo (James Greasepine) Horatio leans over the bloodstained body of the Baron, still sitting silently on the carpet. He rubs his hands over the body, investigating each and every little cut, scratch, and hole in the man's skin. "There was a struggle...." the detective whispers to himself. Suddenly, Laine hears a small patter of footsteps on the floor behind him. Turning around quickly, he is faced with a startled, tall Spanish man, dressed in the customary Spanish Officer uniform. "Sr. Laine, you scared me." Hernan sighed, stepping in to the room. "The pleasure's all mine..." the detective murmured over his shoulder. "Have you any developments in terms of the Baron's murder?" Horatio stood up, pointing vaguely across his body. "It really is a wonderful killing - there had to have been numerous weapons used in the assault, I know that. So many different types of bruises and injuries, after all. But, I'm confidant there is some evidence around here." Horatio turned around to see the Captain slowly creeping out of the room. Reaching out, he tried to lay a hand on the man, but he was quick in jumbling about. The Captain afixed himself and stared Horatio square in the face. "Listen here. You may have come here to look over this place. but by NO standards may you bother me or my crew!" Hernan barked. "Understood!?" Laine fell silent as the Captain gave a wide-eyed nod and backed hurriedly out of the room, rubbing his hands together. Governess Sylvia Windrunner (Crestshot) Takes a Note The following was an article which the Governess wrote herself, to have put in the Port Royal Herald: The Governorship of the Province of Port Royal, ruled in domain by the British Royal Crownship, orders that all conspirators and traitors who aided in the plot for the assassination Baron Rolando S. Belicista of Barcelona be captured and handed over to the British Royal Forces of Fort Charles, DEAD OR ALIVE, for a bounty of 1,000 guineas. Baron Belicista was shot and killed on the deck of his ship, the Stella Maria, and was found later the next morning by a British soldier checking up on the ship in manners of good will. Any additional information should be given to Lt. Horatio Laine. Andy Rolland (Stealthy Cannoneer) Chats with a Pirate Lord (Admiral Savvy) Andy was out of breath, having nearly repaired an entire section of the dock, damaged the day before by an inexperienced sailor ramming his ship straight in to it's side. He walked to the side of the dock, and leaned up against a support beam that ran up beside him, looking out at the beautiful ship of the Baron that sat in the harbor. "She's a magnificent sight, isn't she?" a dark voice came from his side. Andy jumped backward, turning to the stack of boxes that sat next to where he had stood. A dark figure leaned his side up against them on the other side, watching the ship, a black longcoat hanging over his body. A black ostrich hat with a gold feather rounding about the front sat tipped down before his face, but not even from this angle could he see anything. "Who da 'ell are you?" Andy slurred, wondering how he had never seen him there while he went about. "Calm down. You're voice is such a spine-cracking sound." The man said as he turned to face Andy. He flicked the hat up on to a regular sitting position atop his head. He revealed a face covered in a black, outlining tattoo, with small pieces of shimmering jewelry sticking out here and there. He smiled a big, mischievous grin, just above a rat's nest of a beard. "Do you know who I am now?" "Not the slightest idea." The man's face turned to a frown. "Welp, you should. Captain Delmaria Darkskull is the name. And NOW, you know me!" Andy shook his head. "Yea... right.." he walked back to where he was standing. "So, how much do you take a likin' to stand there all day, lookin' at dat ship?" "A large liking.... as I know that it belongs to me." Delmaria said, walking up beside Andy. Andy turned to him, puzzled. "Whaddaya mean?" "That ship is supposed to be mine mate.... gluttonous pig of a Baron took it right out under my nose...." Darkskull chortled deeply. "Well, seems I'm a step closer to getting it back now, aren't I?" The pirate turned about, and walked away, whistling and skipping lightly. Captain Amadeus Darkskull (Chris Ironhawk) is Called Out by Lucinda (Deadpool) Lucinda's back cracked painfully once more as she hobbled towards her mixing pot, dropping yet another carrot and alligator skin patch in to the mix. She sighed, tired of having to revise the mixture yet again, and began to chant the same old rite, trying to get a hold of some sort of feeling. And finally, she began to feel the vibes run through her. But it was not good - no, it was evil, and dark. It felt as though the fibers of her being were being plucked as a harp of the devil, so every moment you felt it coarse through her, she felt a hard buzz of pain. And in only grew stronger - coming closer. Finally, she spotted him. A man with white hair, walking a shifting through the crowd, a hat sitting atop his head. Her skin shriveled at his sight - and to think she thought trouble would be gone with the ridding of that Baron. "YOU!" she shouted in a heavy, raspy voice. The crowd came to a halt, including the man, as she pushed right through them to reach him. She grabbed his sleeve, his touch almost burning her skin. The crowd created a circle around them. "Oh, you evil... how DARE YOU come to my island!" "And what exactly is this mockery of a-" Amadeus tried to protest. Instead, he was shoved a few feet back violently by the small woman. She was strong for her size - probably stronger than him. She stuck a bony finger out at him, receding back to her post as she shivered, cold. "You better flee these waters.... I know what you have done, and will do... you are.... a wicked one...." |
Perhaps we should interrogate... Admiral Savvy?
|
Lucinda seems suspicious, attached to her island like that. And we all know about voodoo magic...
|
Yeah... maybe. Maybe some other people can help.
|
Hmmm... Delmaria seems a bit suspicious. I mean, he is good with weapons, he is a pirate lord, and he wants the baron's ship...
|
If I picked.... I would accuse Amadeus Darkskull. I'd like to know exactly what he did to get Lucinda all riled up.
|
Because of my vacation, voting will take place as soon as I return in a week.

I WOULD LIKE TO INTERROGATE MYSELF! (?) |
Yes, I agree. Amadeus is a suspicious fellow...
|
Im thinking Amadeus now.

Discussion Period 1 is Over! All pirates - not just those who had their characters featured in the developments - must vote based on the developments which character they want interrogated. The character that receives the most votes will be essentially "voted off." Voting will end tomorrow (Wednesday) night. NOTE: If a player has their character kicked out of the game, they may still vote and discuss with others, but they are no longer eligible to win. |
Do I PM you or say it on here for my vote?
