Operation Details
As one of the few proficient soldiers in Vegapath’s staff Erik was assigned recently ‘obtained’ a sloop.
Mission was to recon the perimeter of the isle. The Major had 4 teams on the island ground, he needed someone to patrol the water.
We kept outside of the ‘spellfire field’, which I would estimate less than ¼ mile from coast.
Thus our team had no encounters with the mage effects others on ground reported, essentially verifying it is a localized effect to the isle itself.
Island is surrounded by several small cannon platforms.
Primary engagement was south of isle. Small atoll there.
Encountered the 4 undead fighters formerly of Horsian soldiers.
-Later confirmed to specifically be from Cobh, verified by the discovery of the poisoned health potions and alcohol Erik himself had delivered to Cobh on a prior mission.
Primary enemy base is approximately ½ mile SSE of enemy base.
This base has SUBSTANTIAL defenses,
Walls raise about 30 feet over sea level.
-Multiple cannons, with fire rage minimum of 100 yards, likely further.
--Was unable to determine if any ships, etc., docked or personnel numbers.
Once the base opened fire we immediately retreated.
(Again, mission was recon and report back.)
Isle coast line is in general fairly rocking all around it.
Best beachhead landing would seem to be the southern side.
But be advised near this beach on SE Isle corner was also visual sighting of ‘village’.
Village appears to be comparatively primitive, huts and tents.
No obvious sighting of inhabitants.
Had visual sighting of fleet, minimum 12 ships, on approach from the East.
-was unable to determine flags, colors, alliances.
On return sail, enemy sloop attacked us.
Never one to let an opportunity go to waste, Erik lead the charge to board enemy vessel.
After eliminating the enemy crew, Erik returned sailed wingman to and gave instructions to Orilio,
successfully sailing both ships back to the King’s Legacy.
You can’t ask for much better loot than a ship when you are at sea!
