+ You are horrified to see that the attacking ship has \r\8a a large cannon mounted on its prow. Moments after the \r\8a pirates fire their gun, you hear the whistle of a \r\8a heavy cannonball as it hurtles towards the deck of \r\8a the \ 5éPride of Sommerlund\ 5é. It rips through the gunwale \r\8a close to where you are standing and you are knocked \r\8a over by the blast (lose 3 ENDURANCE points). As you \r\8a drag yourself to your feet, you discover that your \r\8a backpack has saved you from sustaining a more serious \r\8a injury. (Two of the items that you are carrying have \r\8a been destroyed by the blast. You must now erase two \r\8a items of your choice from your Backpack Items list).\r

+ As the smoke clears you see that the rest of the crew \r\8a have escaped injury, and damage to the ship is \r\8a minimal. You hear Sergeant Dryan command his men to \r\8a return fire and a volley of shots from the three \r\8a swivel guns slam into the bow of the pirate ship with \r\8a devastating effect. Two shots penetrate below the \r\8a waterline and the third severs the bowsprit. As it \r\8a falls into the ocean, it rips away sail and rigging \r\8a which drag more than a dozen pirates overboard. In \r\8a disarray, the enemy vessel veers from its collision \r\8a course and founders in the wake of the \ 5éPride of \r\8a Sommerlund\ 5é as it enters the Bukimi Channel. Here your \r\8a ship picks up a prevailing wind which propels it away \r\8a from the second pirate raider. Soon both ships have \r\8a disappeared and, when Raker is sure that the danger \r\8a has passed, he warmly praises both the marines and \r\8a his crew for the skill and courage they have \r\8a displayed. \r

+ Later, as the ship navigates the narrow strait \r\8a dividing the two Lakuri islands, you pass within a \r\8a few hundred yards of the fire-blackened ruins of a \r\8a beach settlement which nestles in a bay, overshadowed \r\8a on three sides by cliffs. This is Kita Cove, formerly \r\8a a secret base from where Captain Khadro launched his \r\8a pirate fleet. As you stare at the charred remnants of \r\8a the pirate settlement, you try to imagine what it \r\8a must have looked like before the encampment was \r\8a consumed by a tremendous fireball that sealed its \r\8a doom. Suddenly your daydreaming is interupted when, \r\8a to your shocked surprise, you see something moving \r\8a among the ruins.\r
