Goldport, Trammel, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – June 21, 2011 – by Ashlynn – Word has reached me via one of my contacts of an attack on the island town of Goldport a number of nights ago. Apparently, those behind the attack call themselves the Crimson Pirates and are led by the infamous Captain Blackfoot.
The details relayed to me about the attack were quite extensive which leaves me a little curious as to whether my contact was involved or not but then an “embedded reporter” is a useful thing to have and something I can overlook. It appears that the pirates raided the island looking for Captain Norwind and Captain Tanivar and finding neither present that night, decided to indulge in a little firesetting instead.
The pirates sailed in from the northwest, their ships moving close to shore under cover of fog and spotted two ships at anchor beside one of Goldport’s larger buildings. Disembarking, they ransacked both vessels and the building, quickly loading the loot aboard their own ship, the Davy Jones. After finding that their prey wasn’t present (it is believed they were out at sea involved in a little privateering of their own), they put both ships and the building to the torch and hastily left.
I am told that the Crimson Pirates regard all of Sosaria as their enemy. They take what they want, when they want and kill any who stand in their way. If this is true, then I suspect this isn’t the last we’ve heard of this new scourge of the seas.
