The Prosecution of Captain Hook

A Report, by Gil Galad [GdF]:

s I was strolling through the woods, still wearing my heavy gala armor, I heard from the distance the evil laughter of a pirate and the soft voice of a woman. I was walking faster, and as I reached the Tavern of the Eight Virtues I noticed the scoundrel pirate Hook trying to drag the Lady Silvara Mondlied with him!

I shouted: "What's going on here? Let her go at once!"

But he just laughed, insulted me and took her with him. Then I noticed the big black spot in the face of the lady and demanded to let her go at once, otherwise he would be in trouble. As an answer he pulled out his sword and attacked me. There was not the slightest sign of manners or honor at his behavior.
As fast as I could I grabbed my axe and defended myself. He was a powerful fighter and I almost was out of breath, although I also hit him some times. What followed now was just most disgusting! He ran away a few steps, pulled out a bow and shot at me! Fortunately he was not very skilled in archery, and so he hardly hit me.

I shouted: "A man like thou does not deserve to die with honor!" With these words I took my heavy crossbow and hit him hard with a bolt. This son of a devil looked astonished, then ran away. I tried to follow him, but he was already gone.

Back to the tavern I saw Lady Mondlied sunken down on the floor, her face hidden behind her hands crying.
In the meantime my friend Warkip had arrived and cared for Lady Mondlied.

An Announcement, by Sir Aigolf:

he evil pirate Hook has been arrested by me and my brave squire Flick Ohmsdorf! Hook had been transported to the jail of Trinsic and will remain there under arrest until his conviction. The trial will take place during the next days. A detailed description of the location will be announced shortly before the trial, to avoid conflicts with the pirates!

A Threat, by Hawkeye Pike:

e will regret dat, slimey port rats! Ye behave like ye could judge anybody da way ye like it! But not wid us!! Da pirates don't ferget! We will keep an eye on ye, rember me words, landlubber! Ye feel strong wid yer mag'ry and damn spells, but I swear to ye, da day will come when we pirates will overcome yer village raping da fields and plunderin' da women! We will come like da sea storm and pillage yer village! Mark me words, me friend! Ye have da choice between terrible war and peace. I demand to set Captain Hook free, or dere will be no mor' peaceful minute in yer tiny littel village!

he crew of the United Pirates had gathered in their tent to plan the rescue of their Captain. They had eavesdroppend and found out that the trial would take place in the center of the Virtue Village. So they decided to hide there an hour before the trial started, armed with weapons and explosion potions. They wore grey robes to hide their real pirate identity and cause confusion among their enemies.

When the trial started, the pirates were in place and ready, waiting for Hawkeye Pike's signal. Witnesses were heard, speeches were held, until finally the Counselor wanted to define the level of punishment for Hook.

Suddenly Hawkeye appeared from his hiding place and shouted "AHOY!!!" and "FREE CAPTAIN HOOK!" Four other pirates appeared and explosions were cracking in the air. Lady Sonata instantly fell to a greater explosion while Wismerhill, who guarded Hook, was killed by a deadly poisoned knife he had been hiding unter his shirt. Hell broke lose!

As soon as Hook was free they ran to the shore where their pirate ship anchored. All of this happened so quickly that none of the guards and bystanders was able to prevent Hook's rescue.

The pirates sailed to Buccaneer's Den where they celebrated their victory with countless pitchers of ale and wine.

After their party the pirates retreated to their secred hiding place, the caves of Buccaneer's Den. But the Lords of the Eight Virtues had followed the pirate ship, tracked the pirates in the caves and took revenge. They showed no mercy.
