One Hundred and Seventy Defenders Stood at CorsairPickle Shore. None Survived.
The courier arrived with two pages and what appears to be a formal complaint from a parrot. The Harbor Board has filed it.
CORSAIRPICKLE SHORE
Governor JayD33203, of the alliance Hannah, sent two waves against CorsairPickle Shore within sixty seconds of each other. The first, from The Golden BewareTheGazebo, carried one hundred and thirty-two men. Governor Pineapple Express had one hundred and seventy defenders garrisoned: forty guard hounds, twenty archers, twenty swordsmen, four warships, and assorted merchant vessels. None survived. JayD33203 lost fifty-two troops.
The second wave, from KelpFluke Isle, arrived to an empty island. Two hundred and fifteen men walked ashore unopposed. They took nine hundred and sixty-seven gold and six hundred and twenty-four stone.
Pineapple Express was at the time resolving a dispute involving a considerate burglar at the docks and an ambassador’s parrot that had caused a diplomatic incident. The dock workers were fined. The parrot has not been disciplined. The garrison has not been rebuilt.
This is Hannah’s first recorded military operation against an active governor. The alliance now numbers eighteen members.
“The name of my island is The Genesis of Builder. My other island is The Forge of Builder. My third island is The Ascension of Builder. I would like the Harbor Board to note that these are serious names.” — Governor Builder, The Ascension of Builder
ONE HUNDRED AND TWO
Governor Tru has raided one hundred and two times this window. Four islands held. One hundred and ninety-six men standing. The fleet at TrudPistol Port has not rested. Governor Dagda raided one of Tru’s holdings and found a cursed chest that destroyed eighty-four of his one hundred men. The chest has not been investigated further.
CRABGOBLET LAGOON
BigChris has three colonisation fleets in the water. Two are headed for CrabGoblet Lagoon, which Pineapple Express colonised six days ago. The third targets WhistleScallywag Quay. New Island Nova Insel, which BigChris razed in five waves last week at a cost of nine hundred and thirteen men, is now quiet. He appears to have moved on to new territory.
OTHER BUSINESS
Governor R0b0tic conquered BrinyLoot Watch and immediately faced a deserter at the gate. He was put on wall-mending duty. A fox at CrabGoblet Lagoon bypassed Marshal Voss’s ambush, entered the command post through an uncovered approach, and took the Marshal’s personal ration pouch. The Marshal has filed a revised training schedule.
Odd Octopus attempted to colonise a large island twice and was turned back by the fates both times. Anomaly colonised a third holding and named it “Kaos 3.” The quartermaster has noted the numeral without comment.
