About this creation
This is a story written from sigfiggy perspective, dialogue is written under the corresponding pictures.
(there's a small list with descriptions of nautical terms used in this episode, you can find it in the background information near the bottom of this page.)
Previously: Part 1: More than a hull and sails
Still in Port Portistan we went to the cabin to discuss our route. We agreed to sail to a small nearby island before we hit open sea.
Ben King: Anything notable on the way we should be concerned of ?
Morthen P: yeah, we don't want to chrash into stuff
Sebeus I: hmm, this is a detailed map, let's take a closer look
Sebeus I: There appears to be a tiny isle close to our route.
Morthen P: "Flag Island" ? sounds interesting.
Ben King: I hope it's big enough so we can spot it, now there is one issue Sebeus...
Ben King: Your goat is eating the chair...
Sebeus I: ...What's that supposed to mean ?
Morthen P: hehe, simply what he sais
Sebeus I: ...oh
After defining some house rules Ship Rules we returned at weather deck to initiate our departure.
Navigating out of the port was a piece of cake, the beauty is very easy to handle and pretty fast as well, even against the wind. She's very gentle on us.
Morthen P: Brace the foreyard !
Sebeus I: What? but we arent using the foreyard.
Morthen P: I know, Its just Ive always wanted to say that one time :P
Ben King: Sebeus, how long still are you going to dance with that chain?
Sebeus I: Oh, right, sorry about that, its a silly excuse for a forgotten detail :D
Morthen P: Guys, I think you should see this.
In the distant Morthen spots two longboats approaching.
After exchanging the telescope a couple of times we concluded that they must be navy soldiers.
We felt it was our duty to help them so we altered course.
Commander Hutton: Hello there!
Commander Hutton: The name is Hutton.
Mr Hutton introduced himself as a commander of the Redcoats. furthermore he told us his ship ran aground during a persuit.
We felt uneasy with all those strangers climbing onto our ship.
Hutton commanded our ship as if it was his own, we just stood there, watching strangers handle our ship... he treated us respectfully though.
Commander Hutton: I apologize for the discomfort but it is of great importance that we return to Port Portistan at once.
I guess military is more important than our little trip. "the war concerns us all" ...So we were headed back to our starting point...
To be continued . . .
Some background information:
 Sebeus I:
 Ben King:
 Morthen P:
 Commander Hutton: A commander of the redcoat navy, currently charged with the task to intercept any suspicious vessels. We might see him again.
Nautical terms:
- Weather deck: A collective noun for all top decks on a ship, in other words all decks that are exposed to the weather.
- Sailing against the wind: Using fore and aft sails a ship can sail against the wind in a limited angle (typicaly about 45° )
- Fore and aft sails: Sails that are set along the line of the keel rather than perpendicular to it.
Fourth wall commentary:
Only one question remains...
Will there be any chairs left ?
:P

the telescope trick was pretty neat! ok, I love this, you take nice pics, ben king is also a real person? I ll check his portfolio, although I bought the heath s pirate ship with the big shark, I won t do a classic pirate ship with it, it will be a space pirate ship, with classical touches, but, you make me want to join your gang though, with this coop thing, you have the goat! lucky, I love it! I can t wait for a next episode, can I suggest something? since you and morthen are quite well equipped in pirate ships, why don t you each make the same small ship, so we can follow the story on his page too! with the same ship, I admit I d also love him to have his own ship at your side on a battle! that would...devastate! mc to you all!
What? how do you know that? Morthen is planning to replicate the ship to make his own episode, just the way you say :P
Ben King is a real person yes, a promosing ship-builder with quite some impressive mocs on his record.

Hey Sebeus, something seems to be wrong with your homepage. When I view it I can't see any of your recent builds. :/ It's like everything got deleted, weird.
That's strange, perhaps it wasn't fully loaded, it works fine on my pc |

Nice episode, interesting turn of events! But why is there a goat in the captain's cabin? :D
In the age of sail it was common to have goats on board for their milk, it doesn't indeed belong in the cabin :P In the story it is, besides the functional use as milk resource, also my pet :) |

I like how this turns out. The Final product is always better than the prototypes,
and i see that you did change some more text, icludeing giveing me some more gramatical errors, hehe, but, its very realistic though, keep it up, and i hope there will be some more fighting in the following episode.

This is not as awe-inspiring series as, say, LIU atlas, but it has a pleasant feeling to it, having a familliar scenery is a good effect that allows people to become fans faster and allows better character-environment interaction. |
