The Death of Richard Cannonwalker

Author's Note
With Pirates of the Caribbean Online gone, i've figured that this also means that my pirate is gone with it. Although he'll always live in the form of memory, his physical (or virtual) form won't last. This is his final stand.

Chapter I: The Preparation
It was September 18th, 1746. The Eighth Brethren Court had been called into session for a meeting earlier in the day. The meeting had commenced without a hitch and finished smoothly. After the meeting, however, a few of the lords decided to stay in the Court headquarters.

 Richard Cannonwalker, the Pirate King of the Eighth Brethren Court, was sitting in a seat at the Eighth Court’s Headquarters, tediously shining his sword. He was approached by Jeremiah Garland, a fellow Pirate Lord. Garland had been sent by Richard to spy on the East India Trading Company and Royal Navy forces at Kingshead and had just returned from a spying mission.

“Have you found anything useful?” Richard asked.

“I may have. I’m still not exactly sure what you’d define as ‘useful,’ but I’ve picked up some information.” Garland responded.

Garland handed Richard folders of papers that were stolen from Kingshead during his spying mission. Richard flipped through the entire stack, examining each paper quickly and moving onto the next. After a minute or so of examining, Richard set the stack on the table beside him.

“This isn’t exactly what I was hoping to get.” Richard told Jeremiah.

“Well, as I said, I’m not exactly sure what you’re hoping for.” Garland replied.

“I’m looking for something we can take.” Richard said.

“But what exactly are you looking to take? You haven’t exactly given me any details I can use in my search.” Garland said indignantly.

“Well, the problem is that I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking for.” Richard replied.

“Then why have you sent me on these arduous spy missions?” Garland asked indignantly.

“Well, I know I want something. I want something interesting and I figure that Kingshead has the potential to offer me something of that caliber. All I know is that I don’t want to barge into Kingshead, risk my life fighting off everybody there, and leave with crates full of pineapples and pears. I want something worth the effort to invade the island.” Richard told Garland.

“Well, I saw a shipment being carefully watched by guards when it was being docked at Kingshead. Perhaps we could go after that.” Garland said.

“This sounds like my kind of job. Nice work, Garland.” Richard responded.

Richard stood up from his seat and put his sword back on his weapons belt. He took a quick swig of grog from the bottle on the table he was sitting at and then put the bottle in his left pocket.

“Go inform the other lords that first thing tomorrow, we’re invading Kingshead and taking whatever it is that they’ve got in their base.” Richard told Jeremiah.
