May 15 Dawn -- Dobbers log
Several men have appeared from behind the dunes. I order a launch put on the water, I am going to shore. I may be placing my life in jeopardy, but I am counting on being treated with respect for my bravery(if it can be called that). I have a feeling in my gut that just the other side of the dunes is Sakim!

Angryminer's Tale
Chapter 11
Someone just said Sire Dobber wants to leave the ship and go to the shore! I have to make haste and offer him to follow him to protect him!
*the log entry is interrupted here*
Journal of Sakim - 15th of May
I peer over the crest of the dune and see a small boat approaching the shore, a grin spreads across my face as I see the bald head of my comrade Dobber. He has done well for himself, to command such a number of ships!
"Stand down men, it is a friend!" I say as I cross the dune onto the beach.
"Welcome, my friend! What brings you to these shores Dobber?"
Dobber responds that he is looking for help in assaulting Constantinople! A very big undertaking, I am not sure it can be done. He says he has a plan and would I hear him out before making a decision. Surely he wouldn't expect my compliance otherwise. I summon several of my Caliph's and board the boat with him to go to his ship to discuss the proposal along with some of his Commanders, he made mention of one in particular, a kind of odd name Angryminer, sounds more like a disgruntled laborer than a fighting man.
My throat is getting dry, I need a beer! Bartender beers for everyone please!
Thanks Dobber, next one is on me.

*the log entry is resumed here*
I came too late to follow my Sire to the coast, but it seemed everything went fine. He brought this Sakim and some of his heathen commanders on the ship. I don't trust them and I propably never will, but Sire Dobber does and when the heathens fight for us, this can only help us. I will try to be as friendly to the heathens as I can.

We have begon the siege at the capital of novogorod. Our numbers have increased with 11000 men. I gave the order to gain ouwer strenght back that we will first lay siege to the capital for 12 days so that we can rest and make new siege weapons for ouwer assault on the castle. I had sended 5 spy's to the enemy's castle to see if there is a weak point in the enemy's defence, and i had send 5 spy's in to my camp to search for enemy spy's and i had send some 50 scouts out to search for enemy army's. I told sir richard and The knightly sword only about that i have sended 5 spy's in to the camp to search for enemy spy's. I gave the order to the troops to strat training and to the dragon troops that they must train on the mountain with there fire attacks. I also started to train with my dragon in the sky with manoeuvring to afoid enemy missile fire.
later that day
when i had returned from training one of the spy's reported that he had captured a enemy spy in ouwer camp. I gave one of my lords the order to question him. If he does not wanna speak use every use of force that you need to let him speak. The spy did speak now he said that the in the castle there is enough food for three months and that there is a weak point in the left wall in the center. That was good news i gave the order that we must build enough trebuchets, catapults to destroy the wall and ladders, siege towers to take the right wall. to morrow we will start building new sieg weapons but now we must rest.
I'll just keep wondering, I am to drunk at the moment to attempt it! :cheers:

May 15 - Dobber's log
After a lenghthy discussion Sakim has agreed to supply some men to help with our assualt upon Constantinople. He has had men arriving all through the day. He hand picks a select few men to remain with him, he is going to remain and recruit others to join our quest. We will send ships back for them if we can, otherwise he will procure ships in a stealthy manner. After the troops have boarded and we've said our good-byes to Sakim, we finally get under sail. Next stop Constantinople.

How long was I a slave on this pirate-ship? Months? Years? I can't remember.
I was with some men on the way to the Holy Land, I thought that I can conquer myself there a little realm, what else could the third son of a count do to get his own land?
Howewer, our ship was boarded by the pirates and a hard fight took place. Many times I thought that it would have been better if I died during this fight, like many of my men....
But I was taken as prisoner and survived. And today I saw that it was god who saved me then and that he will maybe give my live a new sense. This noon, there were ships on the sea, a lot of ships. And on this ships a famous banner moved in the wind, the one of Sir Dobber!
And these ships started to hide the ship of my suppressers.
When they finally cought up, a short and bloody fight started, but the pirates were cutted down like grass.
And then a wonder took place, a men came to us slaves and cutted off our chains. A man I knew! He was the guard of my fathers palace in my hometown! He was called Angryminer! Why was he here and not at home? But before I could talk a word with him Sir Dobber himself came to us...
*so this is my first log, I hope you like it...:)

Chapter 12
Pirates! Again!
Sire Dobber gave orders to attack the pirates and capture their ships. This time we were prepared and were able to render the pirates unmaneuverable. The ships were captured and once we have repaired them they can be added to our fleet. That means we can pick up additional men from Sakim's army!
A very strange coincidence happened while capturing the ships... When the fight on the deck was over and I entered the ship's inner rooms to fight I found slaves and freed them. But not only did I find slaves, one of them was the lost third son of my former liege Sire Gersenau!
A strange happening... I'm still not sure who my Sire is now... Sire Kuno of Gersenau or Sire Dobber?
I will talk to Sire Kuno of Gersenau and tell him that the town of Gersenau was overrun and burnt by the norman army and how I made my way here as a mercenary of Sire Dobber.
We have to be blessed by god that such a thing happens to us!
Angryminer
Bravo! :hello: :go: :cheers:
