Mel the Legend She nodded,"I wonder why the Imperials are like pirates but with a national flag." she said as she crossed her arms and she looked at the ocean and waited for something bad to happen. ~~Celdor Dounoulis~~ "The hunt has begun…" They were close enough that the Imperial merchent ship could tell that the Windfare's Gem was after them. "They rape. They plunder. They steal. They purposefully undercut other merchant companies to sell their goods they stole from another merchantship."

"Wow well have fun killing them...I just never saw a Imperial ship just heard stories about pirates destroying or some pirates almost killed cause of them." she said looking at Celdor.

Mel the Legend "Wow well have fun killing them...I just never saw a Imperial ship just heard stories about pirates destroying or some pirates almost killed cause of them." she said looking at Celdor. ~~Celdor Dounoulis~~ "The hunt has begun…" Celdor kept his face completely impassive at her comment, eyeballing the distance between the merchant ship, which was futily trying to turn away, but merchantmen were not warships, and Windfare's Gem had perfectly crossed the merchie's "T."
"Fire."
The frigate shuddered as the port broadside fired as one, the cannonballs tearing massive ragged holes in the merchant ship, the mast dropping to the shattered deck. In seconds, the Imperial flag was lowered and a white one was raised.
"That was easy...too easy..."

She smiled,"They are playing games on you you need to watch closely wat what the crew on the ship are doing, before its to late and you might be on the line of danger no matter how tough you are." she looked at him and looked at the ship and saw some of the crew on the Imperial ship started to get up and get guns and getting ready to fire on them,"You better fire again."

"No need."
From the decks of the frigate, Celdor's men began shooting the men at the cannons, their aim almost perfect. The cannoneers decided that it wasn't worth it and fled their guns.
"I rarely ever fire a broadside more than once. One port, then one starboard, then they surrrender or are sunk."

"Well I was just warning you, and trying to help, looks like you don't need help cause your all that." she sighed and rolled her eyes and watched the men shoot at each other.

"I accept your advice. But this is a simple merchentman. The Imperials don;t know the first thing about true naval warfare." Celdor wanted to join the men now swarming the merchant ship, be he held his ground. He was the Captain, not a simple crewmember.

She nodded,"Okay fine and your welcome for the advice." she looked at his men surround the merchant ship,"So are you going to make them jump over board now or something else.

Then I'll decide whether to ransom them to the Imperials, or simply set em adrift. Depends on the quality of the men, the rank, and their behaviour."

"So your saying take everything on the ship and take the strong crew members but leave the weak or something like that." she said looking at him and leaning on the railing.

Mel the Legend "So your saying take everything on the ship and take the strong crew members but leave the weak or something like that." she said looking at him and leaning on the railing. "Not at all. By quality, I refer to their character and if we can trust them. Also, if they seem to be in good standing in the Isenbeck Empire. Those are our ransom. Those that do not pass muster, are set adrift to make their own way back to shore. We actually never kill any of the men we capture. Unless they're mortally wounded." He did not say anything about women and children. Or the elderly. After all, they didn't just stop Imperial Merchantmen. Or Merchantmen period.

Muscle memory ends up taking over and everything just seems to flow. But there's nothing really for you to do. I don't know your sailing skills. And, no offense intended, I don't exactly trust you around certain aspects of my ship. When this is all said and done, I'll have the Bosun find you a berth. We don't have any women aboard other than you, so you might find yourself sleeping in a brrom closet with a hammock strung up."
Celdor moved to the start of the gangplank, his hands clasped behind his back, grey eyes overseeing the deck of the merchantman.

"Great...I'm so thrilled." she sighed and she leaned on the railing on his ship wand watched him look at the merchantmen.'Well this is boring...' she thought and she tapped her fingers on the railing.

"That's my cue. You can join me aboard the merchie if you wish. Or you can stay here. Tis your choice."
Celdor began walking down the boarding ramp onto the deck of the Imperial Merchantman.
