The Pirates celebrated a rare victory over the Continental Navy in a large battle near Nassau.
The navy patrol consisted of Admiral Amanda with mercenary gunner Randy, Admiral Xi, Admiral Rain, Captain Bethany, and Privateer Captain Pabo. The pirates had Captains Scurvy, Otho, Allie, Kaz, Kos, and Lexie. The fighting was fierce with the pirates taking an early advantage and pressing the navy hard. In the end, the pirates celebrated their victory in the nearest pub while the navy retreated to their fort on the Island of Curacao to nurse their wounds.

A Navy patrol consisting of Admiral Amanda, Admrial Xi, Admiral Rain and Lieutenant Shriurra spotted four sails on the horizon and proceeded to chase. Rather than attempting to escape the four ships turned and attacked. The pirate ships turned out to be Captain Otho, Captain Scurvy, Captain Pabo with gunner Chili Lykin and Captain Laura Dalin (Admrial Amanda's evil twin).
The battle was fierce. The advantage swung back and forth but in the end the navy stood triumphant. Sketches by Fluer, Xi and our staff artist following the break. Admiral Xi lead a Continental Navy patrol near the colony of Nassau, looking for pirates. The navy squadron found more than they expected. A group of pirates consisting of Captain Pabo, Captain Stacy, Captain Callidus and Gunner Randy, and Captain Laura Dallin (Admiral Amanda's evil twin) attacked the navy squadron and in a tremedous battle defeated the navy.
Admiral Xi vowed to regroup and drive the pirates from Pirates Destiny. One of the pirates was heard to comment, "Arrrgh!" Sloops and Schooners tonight pitted Xi and Rain (the Azure Team) against Otho and Amanda (the Scarlet Team). Xi and Rain started strong but Otho of the Shiny Buckles and Amanda came from behind and won the battle. Rumor has it that Amanda spiked Rain's herbal tea to gain an advantage in tonights battle.

The Continental Navy was peacefully cruising near Nassau when they were suddenly assaulted by a bunch of dastardly pirates. The pirates were reported to be Captains Otho the Shiny, Scurvy the well...Scurvy, Allie Nyal, and Pabo of the magic pictures. The navy was made up Admiral Amanda, Admiral Xi, Admiral Rain and Lieutenant Jack.
After the dishonorable sneak attack, the navy fought back and eventually won. Admiral Xi won the battle by finishing off Allie. Our Staff Sketch Artist caught the final moments of the battle. UPDATE!!! New Sketches by Fluer! Sketches after the Break! A Continental Navy patrol lead by Admiral Amanda with Admiral Rain and Privateer Allie Nyal intercepts a group of pirates consisting of Captains Callidus with Gunner Randy, KazKazKaz, and Pabo.
Admiral Amanda called for the suspected pirates to heave too for inspection. They answered with a cannon shot. A furious battle insued. Our staff sketch artist caught the closing moments when Rain was attempting to put down KazKazKaz, the final pirate. As you can see from the artistic renderings, Rain won but only just. More sketches were provided by Fluer. Sketches after the Break! With only five captains present, Battle Coordinator Xi decided to hold a Medium Class Free For All instead of Sloops and Schooners.
Xi, Rain, Otho the Shiny One, Kaz and Amanda fought two round to a winner. Amanda won the first round by sinking Otho. Xi won round two by putting down Kaz. It was a fast battle fought in excellent SL weather. Sketches after the Break! Admirals Amanda, Xi and Rain patrolled near Nassau Wednesday night and discovered a small flotilla of pirate ships Captained by Otho of the shiny buckles, Scurvy and an unidentified Captain (Shriurra filling in to make the sides even). A very tough battle followed that ended in a stalemate.
