Right bloody mess

[axelrod_eric]

I accepted an escort mission to St. Kitts, not really realizing that St. Kitts is an English Colony. The English are hostile towards me. The Fort began firing at me, and I snuck into town. I was planning on buying a letter of marque to solve my problem.

Problem is, I didn't land during business hours. Nothing is open except for the tavern. It doesn't seem to matter how long I stand around - time does not pass. Resting in the tavern doesn't appear to help because I rest in 12 hour increments.

I have simply tried to escape, but my Schooner can only take 5 or 6 bombs from the fort. I don't last very long.

Any suggestions?

Believe when ye sneak into town, Tavern is the only place ye can enter, that is yer only option mate <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

If you time it right, perform a zig-zag manuever, tricking the fort into firing at your baring, then change your course right after that to minimize the chance of getting hit. Shooners are excellent for evasive manuevers.
