Mission 9 - Under Spanish Rule
"ĦAlto!" screamed a loud voice from the edge of the balcony. There stood a figure dressed in a long, dark brown coat and a wide, black hat. He had an intimidating look on his face, but not as intimidating as the blunderbuss he had pointed at your face. "Drop the dagger, now!"
Lawrence look puzzled. He looked at the drunk, unconscious body of Avaricia slumped in his chair, then back at the guard. Part of him made him want to lunge and land the dagger in the intoxicated Pirate Lord. The other felt like throwing it at the guard. Either way, he felt like getting at something by now.
Soon, his hopes got the best of him. Lawrence jumped desperately at the Pirate Lord, but as soon as he got off the ground, the guard fired. Lawrence was grazed by the spot in the back on the thigh, but it hurt him so much so that he missed his shot, his body slaming on the floor near Avaricia and his dagger launching out of his hand, over the rail, off the tower, and in to the shallow water nearby.
By this point, if the Pirate Lord hadn't woken by now, he must've been killed by another assassin already. He peered through his hazed gaze down to floor, where he shook his head a few times before he recollected it was an "old friend" of his. By the sight of Lawrence, he immediately grabbed a rum bottle nearby and smashed it on the table, most likely meaning to stab the Captain. In impulse, you charge at Avaricia and plow right in to him, knocking his chair over and both you and him on the floor. You kneel over him beaten, pain torn body in pride, until you feel the cusp of a blunderbuss against the back of you head. "So much for being a hero, eh? Get up." The guard hissed in a deep Spanish accent.
You get up slowly and are forced backwards towards the group. Lawrence is then escorted the same way, and then finally Avaricia is helped up by his guard. He brushes himself off, and looks around at us. "Well, so I'm guessing you tried to kill me, eh? Not too smart. But what can I say, when you have that scum bag as a leader." Avaricia gestured to Lawrence, which was responded with by an attempt to attack the Pirate Lord. Fortunately, Lawrence was held back.
"Hmpf, my point proven. Well, either way, time for you to die." He pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Lawrence. Then, a look of instant genious hit his face. "Unless...."
"Unless what?" One pirate perked up, disgruntled.
The pirate smiled. "Your going to do a little work."
