The day Rio broke her bank

The day started just like any other day, aside from the fact that the Med was getting boring. So, Rio sailed to Africa!

There are wondrous discoveries to be done in Africa, not so much cities though.


Rio at the port of Luanda. Pretty nice little town. Except they lace their food with scorpion poison. Yuck!! Run, Rio, run!


Cape Town welcomes Rio.

At the Med, HawkLord was organizing a fleet to sail against the North Sea Pirates. So Rio sailed back with all possible haste back to Seville with her African crew singing...

After meeting and resupplying in Seville and Lisbon, we're off to Hamburg for a final resupply.

A quick stop in Hamburg to resupply. Picked up a new teammate, too. ^.^

Round One was a dud for me. Aside from the numerous hundreds of cannonballs, I didn't get any useful loot. Aleth seems to be enjoying so much though. Well, you would if you picked up a lot of high level figureheads and cannons. :D Maybe I was too busy hiding behind Hawk and Lex. You would as these pirate cannons would put leaks the size of assholes into your hull easily, and Chanak was not meant for battle being a simple merchantman.

I decided Round Two to risk life and limb (and use Hawk's Repair Kits [tm]) to get loots. And I did! I did! Lots of Lvl 4 and 5 cannons and shields! o.O

I don't know where to place these things anymore. Hawk suggested that I keep them for my Lvl 5 ship. To do that, I need a new warehouse. With barely enough silver at hand and at the bank, I got a new warehouse in Seville. If things turn out to be a little bit tight, I'll just raid the new warehouse and sell the stuff at Wal-Mart. Now asset-rich and cash-poor Rio is reduced to Escort missions to build up capital for Merchant missions. ;_;


Taking a break from missions in Oslo.


The nights in Oslo sure are quite. I hope it doesn't have something to do with Rio's big, new, shiny flintlock courtesy of DRAGONOS Industries.
