All Sketches by FluerAdmiral Amanda (with gunner Randy) led a Continental Navy patrol of Admiral Rain, Commander Andro and Lieutenant Shriurra into Pirates Destiny seeking to destroy the Pirate Menace. The Pirates of Pirates Destiny have been fighting back hard and met this patrol with their own fleet of Captains Shorty, Otho, Pabo and Zan. Admiral Rain lost her ship early to a fluke lag storm. The Pirate Fleet quickly gained the upper hand and soon Admiral Amanda and Randy were alone against three pirates. The Admiral had Captain Zan isolated from the rest of the pirate fleet and managed to sink him, taking heavy damage. Then it was a game of cat and mouse with Captains Otho "the Shiny" and Captain Pabo, who were both damaged from the battle. The navy ship kept its distance firing long shots at the Pirates. The Admiral saw her chance and darted in at Captain Pabo doing grave damage before the Shiny One rushed to his aid. Amanda darted behind an old moored galleon, preventing Pabo from replying to her fire. She came out from behind the galleon with Randy's guns blazing at Otho. As she came around Otho, he shot her masts away bring the navy Xebec to a stop. Dead in the water with Otho charging, Amanda managed to turn the ship so her broadside faced Otho. Randy opened with a tremendous and accurate fire that sank The Shining Pirate before he could sink them. There was no time to celebrate as Captain Pabo was now approaching from the navy ship's defenseless bow. Randy with nerves of steel waited for Pabo to enter her arc of fire. Both ships opened up at the same time. The navy ship was shattered and began to sink but her final shots ripped through Pabo's hull and he sank a moment later. Sketches from First Half of BattleThe shattered fleets regrouped to fight again. Lieutenant Shriurra couldn't raise her ship in time for battle and was replaced by Captain Bethany. This time it was Pirate Captain Shorty who was caught in a sudden lag squall and lost her ship. The navy took full advantage. Admiral Amanda went after Zan, with gunner Randy unleashing a barrage on the pirate ship. Commander Andro swept in, finishing off Captain Zan. Meanwhile, Admiral Rain and Captain Beth double teamed Pabo and quickly sank him. This time it was Captain Otho alone against the navy. Admiral Amanda arrived first with another of Randy's long-range barrages. Commander Andro arrived and quickly closed on Otho as Amanda swung around for another broadside into Otho who sank beneath the waves as Admiral Rain and Captain Bethany arrived. The first half of the battle was dominated by the pirate fleet and only a combination of skill and luck staved off complete defeat. After they regrouped, the pirates early loss of Shorty left them shorthanded and vulnerable and the navy took full advantage. Sketches from Second Half of Battle
