Ryan the Dreaded: The fearsome pirate who will slaughter anything in his path

Attacking

James Evans: The Irishman seeking revenge on the British

Prologue:
Ryan the Dreaded is relaxing in the mess hall with a bottle o' rum, trying to cool his nerves after talking with Lloyd and Cadwalader.

"They're crazy, even for me," Austonio says, sitting down across from him. He seems oddly sane at the moment. "I've heard you guys talking about our hosts."

"Oh?" Ryan asks, trying not to re-trigger Austonio's insanity.

"Yes. They need more FIRE! AND BEES! But no, no... not bees. Not the bees...." Austonio cackles.

Ryan punches him in the face, which sends the madman sprawling.

"CAN'T YOU BE SANE FOR ONCE?"

"That would be breaking character," Leo says, accompanied by a user in a red cloak with a blue trim - one of the Admins. "Wouldn't you agree, Drayco?"

"Yes. I think he needs a little more... fire," Drayco says. Ryan can't see his face, but he can imagine the Admin's malevolent smile.

"Anyway, Ryan, you're up. Follow me," Leo says, leading Ryan away while Drayco helps Austonio up.
