It was a stormy night that we found Captain Khalidas and his crew plundering for loot off the coast of Ithania. The Dreadnought and its partner, The Evil Night sailed due north from Arvost after a night of wenching and drinking, ready for action-- and plunder. Khalidas Rhys commanded at the wheel of the ship, while Mozcatma Aranion and Yariel Kearney were hurrying about the deck of The Dreadnought. Najwa Al-Kalovia meanwhile took to the helm, keeping a look out. The plan was to pose as an Ithanian merchant vessel with The Evil Night as an escort some distance behind, and to act as if they were in distressed. Similar to a fox, The Dreadnought would bite while it was close, and make away with an immense amount of loot.
Two nights after they had left Arvost, Najwa spotted a merchant vessel. Gambling that this was to be the one that would hold the loot, Khalidas ordered The Dreadnought in nice and easy. The Ithanians bought it, either being blind to the appearance of the crew or being tired from working. Whatever the cause, Khalidas' crew was able to get in close and board the merchant vessel before they realized what was going on. While Mozcatma and Yariel were distracted with checking the cargo, one of the sailors lit a brazier. In the fog of the night, a similar light was returned in kind. Soon, Najwa called out a large carrack headed straight towards their location. It seemed the vessel had an escort after all.
Hurrying back onto their ship with several containers from the merchant vessel, Khalidas ordered a full retreat. The carrack began firing, but it missed due to the distance between the two. As it approached closer and closer at an alarming rate, suddenly a huge blast erupted to the right. The Evil Night had engaged the Ithanian carrack! The Dreadnought began sailing back behind The Evil Night to avoid cannon fire. As the two moved closer, the crew of the larger pirating vessel began boarding, eliminating over three forths of the ship's crew before the remaining surrendered. Unfortunately, the carrack was too destroyed from the battle, already gaining a large amount of water in the lower hold.
The Dreadnought met up with The Evil Night and boarded the carrack. Khalidas presented the surviving crew with a choice: Either join The Evil Night and The Dreadnought or walk the plank. Only five remained after the men took their decision, who Najwa immediately began flirting with. Yariel, meanwhile, tended to the wounds of the crew aboard The Evil Night. Finally, Mozcatma eagerly jumped to search the holds with the rest of the crew. It turned out that the merchant vessel had been afraid of pirates, so they decided to travel with a carrack owned by the Ivrae Family. The pirates loaded a wardrobe and a large chest onto their ship, hoping it'd be filled with goodies. Within were two authentic invitations to a soiree d'honneur in Hivre Saint Lemiere for the twentieth of September, as well as two garbs and two masks for the attendees. It was obvious that two of the officers on the escort were invited to this party, and had intended on going.
A pity they wouldn't be.
