He gives a rousing speech about how incapable pirates are the scum of the earth and whatnot - Tressa (and by extent I) was no longer listening as much as swooning over in the Captain’s general direction. Hope is nearly extinguished – – and that’s when The Captain strikes.įelling two of the pirates with as many strokes of his saber, he descends upon the rest, and at last introduces himself! And voilà, turns out the hero of the hour is a popular pirate himself, now retired from plundering the seas but just as deadly as ever. ![]() Our two valiant heroes with their backs against one another the scholar calling on fire and thunder, the merchant shooting arrow after arrow into the ever tightening encirclement of enemies. ![]() Yeah, Tressa and Cyrus (who at this point had joined her in the journey to the pirate cove in order to perform scholarly research about the moral fallout of robbing pirates) kicked the pirate captains’ teeth in for a good few minutes before the rest of their dastardly crew showed up! Just then, things looked dire – – you know the sort of situation I’m talking about. Tressa: Heh, heh, picking up the casket…? Merchant’s Guide to Living, Lying, Cheating - A Biography of a Merchant by Cyrus After an exchange that looks a little something like: Try as she may to get out of there, the pirate ain’t THAT dumb. The plan goes without a hitch, until, just as Tressa gets to the treasure trove, one of the pirate leaders wakes up. Of course, the wine has been spiked with a potent enough sleeping concoction, but the pirates won’t learn the truth of this until their cove has been robbed blind… Or does robbing thieves count as liberating the booty in question?Įither way, Tressa intends to do a lot of that! Once they leave however, our bold merchant concocts a fine plan - offer the pirates a casket of wine as way of apology for being such an unruly young lass. It’s only the appearance of the Captain–name-drop still pending– that dissuades Tressa and the pirates from beating each other silly. In the middle of conversation with an intriguing Captain of a merchant vessel, Tressa does not hesitate to run towards the unknown danger… A few pirates, come to rob the town blind!Īn infuriated Tressa faces the pirates down, nearly coming to blows with foes that outnumber her three to one. Tressa’s usual routine of buying different merchandise for her parents’ store – – wine, fruits, any worthwhile stock she gets at a good price from the fishers, merchants and sailors in port – – comes to a screeching halt when a cacophony of screams travels through the air from the center of town. Tressa’s wanderlust is hinted at early-on, and of course is a fully realised desire by the time this first chapter of her adventure is done with. The daughter of a family of merchants, Tressa is all too happy to follow in her parents’ footsteps(and especially her father’s). This merchant, as Cyrus soon learns, has good reason for her distress and he, like you and me, takes on the role of member of the audience as young Tressa tells her tale. How lucky for him when, almost immediately as he enters the coastal town of Rippletide, he comes face to face with a greatly distressed young woman by the name of Tressa. And aye, try as he might to salvage anything from the bellies of those beasts, Cyrus is well and truly bored by the time he arrives at the town.
