- Pe668 – Finders Keepers, Loosers Bleeders
The self proclaimed king of pillage, Blood Beard had few peers, that lived. His swordsmanship was exceptional and as a captain he led by example. His motley crew became so complacent they just let him unleash his mayhem, often turning up late to simply loot and burn the village. Many thought his name was due to his ginger hair, but legend has it that when he pillaged a village he would not stop the slaughter until the blood was up to his beard.

- Vadim – Attack on the Island of the Ancient tower
They are attacking us on the early morning of 13th of August, it was a Friday…
We were hiding in the old tower that was near the see.
Pirates are known for killing everyone that haven`t got the time to save their lives.
We almost haven`t got any more food or water. There are only five bullets in our guns and a whole 20-30 pirates around us.
We give them all our money and treasure but they don`t go away, they want our blood!!!
We won’t survive…
We are all dead…

Talon Karrde's large PTV entry
Basically, Port Culver was a small imperial island fort/port in the caribbean, it’s golden beaches crowned by a volcanic ring, capped by a defensive wall, this fortunate natural defense had made it almost impregnable from Pirate attacks, but not these guys…
They anchored on a night as black as their hearts, and waited for dawn to come. As the sun rose they lowered the longboats and splashed their way towards unsuspecting Culver, up the beach they swarmed, multitudes, bringing ladders and death.
Culver was doomed, the small garrison of imperial troops rushed to arms, hopeless in the knowledge of their inferior numbers.
Women cried and babies screamed, men were powerless, the town was still, awaiting death.

SirNadroj - The Pillaging of Neptune's Noggin Lagoon
Neptune’s Noggin Lagoon is a generally peaceful seaside village and port. The townsfolk live simple lives. But sailing swiftly into the harbor is a fierce pirate ship, bringing with it a hoard of roudy pirates, ready to spill some blood, ransack, and pillage.
Armed with what they could find, the villagers retaliate with swords, pitchforks and carpet beaters. Running through the mossy cobble-stone streets, chaos breaks out as the clinking of swords and agonizing screams are all that can be heard.
On the other side of the harbor, adjacent to Neptune’s Noggin Rock (named due to its likeness to the god of the sea), the Governor looks on in horror and confusion: “What to do now?!”.
Who will be victorious in this epic battle of good and evil? I have my money on the pirate crew. But that is up to you to decide!
