Tomas Guerrero Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 <<the spaniard yells above the crowd>> ¡Hola amigos! I was told a sufficient introduction es necessario. Me llamo es Tomas. I write in the pirate hunter's smarter brother within the rabble rousing forum. I have a keg of fine Madeira and some homemade Sangria for my friends. Muchas gracias for the kind words.

Ransom Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Welcome, Tomas....I think. I'm sure we'll get to know each other much better...soon. But, I will have a glass of that Madeira, if you will be so kind. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Capt. Sterling Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Madeira? Rainwater? I'm up for a glass and thank ye for it. Welcome to the pub.

Tomas Guerrero Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 "Si. Muchas gracias." Tomas slides a bag of reales to Ray. "Will this do?" "For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication." -Friedrich Nietzsche
Silkie McDonough Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 "Psssst" Silkie whispers to Jacky "Does he know Ray ...maybe Ray can give us some info ...naah ...rather closed lipped that one."
MadL Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 ::thinks t' he'mself:: "Reales...looks like real Spanish gold it does...'n drink too he brings" ::glances out th' window int' th' bay:: "hmm, no sign o' Spaniard sail....yet" ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock!

Tomas Guerrero Posted August 23, 2008 Author Posted August 23, 2008 Toms noticed the looks arise when the gold was passed. No hay problema. "For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication." -Friedrich Nietzsche
LadyBarbossa Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Well, come an' sit, m' good man. Despite ye a Spaniard. But, all be well an' good here as long as ye don't put a blade or bullet in our backs. So... what brings ye here to th' Pub? hmm? ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
MadL Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Aye Tomas, sit, tell us 'bout yer self now....'n bring some o' that Spanish grog with ye! I will keep them ilk at bay...well, till I can naught see straight, then ye be on yer own ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock! So keep yer cutlass sharp, 'n keep her close!
Tomas Guerrero Posted August 23, 2008 Author Posted August 23, 2008 As the evening wore on the Spaniard collected a small group of people around him. Many trite comments could be heard under the breath of those around. He cleared his throat quieting the din. "Damas y señores," he began, "I understand that many, if not most of you are not, how do you say, muy simpatico, with my Nation. To be honest, it is not that pleasant to me at this moment." A small crowd grew around the tall man. Tomas twirled the ends of his mustache and began to tell his story. He did not discuss his upbringing nor his home. But did confirm the repot that he was a nasty Ol' Spaniard. It was true the he was caught stealing from the plate fleet leaving Potosi, Columbia, and was stripped of his command. Tomas amassed quite a fortune in his years with Spain, hence the pouch of reales he left the innkeep. He now is a dark figure within the Caribbean. A mercenary, if you will. Hard to find most times, because he know you are looking for him. Tomas has many, many bookkeepers, soldiers, captains, pirates and privateers and spies within his payroll. He has double-crossed the double crossers. He knows when each ship leaves the South American coast and what each has on board. Not settling for logwood traders from the Bay of Campeche, or local fisherman from the Yucatan, he takes from those wealthy enough to lose it: Statesman, Government officials, and the Crown. "I am currently operating out of the Dry Tortugas where I have padilla de pequeño working for me trying to find the wreck of "El Altanero", lost a fortnight ago." He summoned the bartender for another round of drinks, as his story always leaves him parched. "For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication." -Friedrich Nietzsche
Ransom Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 I inspect the guest again, a slight smile on my face, contemplating the term "Nasty ol' Spaniard", sure I'd heard it somewhere before. But I did not like that he was based in the Tortugas. Too close for comfort, sez I. Too close, indeed. So, I resolved to drink his Madeira and get to know him a bit better. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Black Nate Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Oi, Welcome ta th pub Tomas. Tanks fer th round a drink. Ray! A gil or three o Blackstrap! Off ta a fine start are ya? Hope them pockets are deep, deep, deep. ~Black Nate~ A ship in a puddle is better than no ship at all Dear Saint Brendan, to mention your name is to recall much travelling. It was in relation to voyages that you emerged as a popular Saint. The Irish became great travelers thus spreading their faith everywhere. Protect not only mariners but also all those who go down to the sea in ships. Amen.
MadL Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 *Mad L, naught want'n t' miss th' next round pounds down another tankard 'o Spanish ale, 'n thinks t' he'm self as he listens intently; two words in particular catches he's ear...* ::hmm, a double cross o' double crossers he say he be...interesting:: ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock! So keep yer cutlass sharp, 'n keep her close!
Merrydeath Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Merrydeath sips her sangria, motions to Ray for another drink and tells the passing waitress to send over some sopapillas with chocolate. along with the others, she will listen for a while, with her knife off peace-tie.
