"FIRE!" He bellowed as the 12 gun broadside of the barque The Merry Reaver belched fire and smoke at nearly point blank range into the other ship. Mixed with the smell of smoke was the char of wood as the inferno of burning powder burned the other ships side.
"Over the side," called the boarding party leaders as the ships crashed side to side, the grapples having pulled them astern. Dirty bodies festooned in ever manner of weapon clambered from the Merry, as the crew called her, onto the sticken vessel now in her embrace.
The crack of pistols and clang of steel broken by the screams of men hacked down and once by the roar of a short muzzled blunderbuss cleared a knot of royal marines. In the midst of it all Marcel strives across the deck with brass hilted cutlass in one hand and a brace of pistols in the sapphire sash about his waist. Two sailors bodies lay behind him as blood dripped from the blade. A splash of crimson crossed his bright yellow shirt but faded into his deep blue coat.
In a matter of half an hour it was over. The survivors.of the crew knelt in the middle of the deck. Their wounded piled among them as their dead were cast overboard. Standing on the quarter deck he watched his quartermaster, a studious man named Peirre, over see the collection of goods. Accumulating on deck.
In a flash of motion one of the prisoners lunged for the passing quartermaster, a knife in his right hand some how sequestered for a forelorn hope. In a flash of light and smoke a pistol materialized in Marcel's hand and the sailor fell in a gurgling scream as the soft lead ball shattered his right shoulder and drove deep into his chest.
"Pardon me Cap'n... we found some unique prisoners trying to hide in their captains cabin." Turning he saw his bosun, a giant dark skinned dark eyed man with a bald scarred head, who went by the ominous nautical name Leviathan. His voice even sounded like it came from some dark ocean deep best left unexplored. To most he was, rightly, a terrifying figure. It only took a short time knowing him to understand just how cruel he was capable of being. "Nice shot by the way, cap'n."
Marcel only smiled at Levi, as he knew him, "Did we now?" He looked at the young woman standing with one giant hand on each shoulder holding her firmly in place. Stepping closer he reached out and grabbed her chin between thumb and forefinger. Bright, intelligent, scared eyes looked up at him.
"Bon jure! What is your name love?" he spoke brightly. Levi's watery chuckle from behind her sounded ominous compared to his jovial tone.
