The Round Stable

Rainbow sells a cocoa and 3 rum for 12 bits. She picks up a reinforced hull and 3 cargo for 10 bits. Discarded are a cocao, contraband spices, and a wood.
And maybe a priestess?

Welcome aboard!

Heading out to sea, we see that mission's possible drawback.

Rainbow Dash was not very suave, for it looks like I will be swimming to Petite Goave.

Check the status post next turn for the new mission 2.


In the meantime, Maynard heads to Havana and Robertson goes to Cartagena. And who wants 15 bits for killing a shark?
Captains with a French bounty get another. Captains with a Spanish bounty get another.

The merchant gets a few hits in, but Bokuro manages to loot it for 10 bits, legal spices, and a food.

De Graaf moseys on to Caracas. Maybe he's escaping the horrible plague spreading across the Caribbean! Multiple ports have declared a quarantine!
Select 4 random goods (rum, sugar, tobacco, rum). Ports with a matching good cannot be entered this turn. Any captain currently in such a port receives a hit to crew at the beginning of their turn.

That would be Curaçao, Nassau, Old Providence, San Juan, and Tortuga if I got them all?

Not nearly fancy enough.

Bokuro sells his food and spices for 9 bits. Cartagena still demands spices. Fancy that.
A sloop with a point of damage and two mods sells for 6 bits total, and a new galleon costs 35. And it comes with a glory card sitting on the deck. He gets some chasers while he's there.

He tries his hand at recruiting up some crew.

And maybe pick up a rumor?

He picks one up and discards one about

Turns out she wasn't into ponies after all.

She sells two sugar and some textiles for 11 bits and buys 2 goods and 2 contraband for 12, plus some swivel guns she saw in the checkout aisle.

Meanwhile this game is just being lousy with pirates. Jean Lafitte is coming in.
At the end of the turn, place the pirate brig in the sea zone of Caracas (replacing the Sloop). Seamanship: 2; Scouting: 2; Leadership: 4; Bounty: 10 bits

I forgot something.
Rarity moved into a sea zone with that Naval NPC with a hold full of contraband, didn't she. So let's take care of that one now.

Admiral Maynard does some sniffing around:
2 4 S

Rarity dumps her illegal goods overboard to avoid getting busted, and goes into Havana port after all okay Nassau after all and keeps one contraband in the smuggling compartment.

##I'm now in Havana port Nassua sea zone due to even more mysterious circumstances and my first action is to head into port
##Second action is to sell all goods, go searching for new ones, and purchase any upgrades that haven't been taken, as well as go searching for a rumor

Damn legalities.

Earmuffs may be fashionable, but not very useful in port.

Rarity is too much of a goody-four-shoes to take that mission, but at least she can sell something, specifically some textiles, cocoa, and wood for 11 bits because I remembered her purser this time.

She picks up 3 goods and a contraband for 6 bits, tossing out some wood and cocoa. Tortuga also sells extra hammocks if any of you want them.

And maybe she gets a rumor?

Not today.
But he does unload some stolen jewelry for 10 bits.

Bokuro buys 2 contraband for 6 bits, along with some grapeshot, grappling hooks, and caltrops. Also a rumor.

But he does need to discard one.

In the meantime, unforunately kookwowse has to bow out of the game. So I would like someone to replace in for Rainbow Dash if possible. Anyone been following along that's interested?

Hey guys, I know it seems weird I'm posting on the forums while I said I couldn't continue playing. I'm actually on board a ship right now, with a really unreliable internet connection that regularly breaks down for days at a time, and by design locks me out of apps like Discord.
