Good Vs. Evil (A Story Game)

[Basil Dreadflint]

Yowza, this is getting interesting. Nice posts, y'all.

Ok, the Vera Cruz 4 are about a week into their voyage. They have cleared the narrows and are now out into the open of the Gulf of Mexico. Still within site of land, they start their northward journey along the New Spain coastline. Their meeting with the French warships still planned and on schedule.

Even with the ill fortune that has befallen them, they may actually be slightly ahead of schedule, since they were forced to leave early.


The Ribiera Grande is nex to set sail. Her smaller size dictates that they follow the West Indies route northward, then West to the rendezvous in Havana. The captain and crew have been together for almost 3 full years, and are all loyal to each other, and to Spain.

It is now the second week of February, and the Ribiera Grande is about to embark from Port in Venezuela. On the dock is a small delegation of local authorities, including 2 representatives from the Governor. One of the representatives takes the Capitan aside and delivers 3 scrolls of messages from the Governor to be delivered to the King immediately upon arrival in Spain. According to the Governor's men, this is the most important cargo on board the ship.

Since the Venezualan port is so remote, and the route that they are taking is well out of norm, the Capitan expects that it will be long weeks before he even sights another ship, or land.


The score holds at 47, since I am still neutral.
Hey "good" side, What's up here?
