(@Red: I'm pretty sure they are. A mercenary is a professional soldier paid to fight for someone. A privateer is a professional sailor paid and authorized by a government to fight for them. To me they seem like the same thing.)

Caius nodded. "I will send a courier to tell you when we're ready to move."

Him and his party made their way out of the Malaia.

"Lucien, you may not like privateers but they have their uses." The Prince stated.

It was not possible for the pirates to move out of the way completely, since the Dunmer trade ship was a caravel and was already quite crowded with pirates, mercs and the dead bodies laying around.

Nonetheless, the ballista attack hit the third Dunmer, shooting a hole right through his chest and killing him instantly.

The pirates on the Revenge were unable to get a clear shot at the duo of mercs because the pirates were not able to move out of the way.

The first mercenary tried to attack again, but again he was unable to get past the defending pirate's defense. The second merc stayed on the defensive, keeping his shield up to defend against any pirate attacks.

Cortoran was hit in the leg, leaving him with a serious injury. He was bleeding and slowed, but he was still able to move and quite enraged. He lashed out at Evalana, landing a cut across her left cheek.

The Brinehammer got into position. The trade ship still hadn't realized their ill intentions.

Deros looked through the spyglass at the ship. It was a small EETC carrack. "I count 30 sailors on board. 10 soldiers, 9 are armed with leather armor, 1 has steel armor."

Juunei took off his fur cloak. "Not too difficult." He turned to his kin. They were armed with the steel weapons stolen from Windhelm.

"Just make sure to keep the element of surprise." Shav stated. "Go for the archor first."

The Argonian rigger nodded. "Leave it to us."

The 5 Argonians jumped into the water and swam underwater towards the carrack.
