(Sorry for the wait, I'm very busy with college.

@Rifle: I'll come up with a more specific location regardless. Let's say she was doing the ship repairs in Daggerfall, to make it easier to understand where all this is taking place. Plus it puts her close to the other Imperial characters who are in Herne.)

The Docksmaster shook his head. "That ship wasn't scheduled to come here, so I don't even know where it came from, much less where it was going. Though it they were indeed pirates, I should notify the Imperial Navy about them." He muttered.

Evalana had stumbled upon quite the lucky find. The ship she was chasing was one of the vessels belonging to the Eniel Pirates, named the Deceit. They were a pirate crew commanded by three brothers. The brothers were sons of Lord Eniel of Shadowfate, one of the leaders of the Red Wedding during the War of the 7 Kingdoms in High Rock. When Lord Eniel was assassinated and the family was stripped of its title, the surviving Eniels had to fend for themselves and 3 of the brothers decided to go into piracy and founded the Eniel Pirates in 4E 231.

"Arm the ballistae!" Captain Cortoran ordered from the helm.

His men scurried to the gun deck to arm their artillery while they tried to dodge the attacks from the Forward chasing them.

The Imperial's ballistae weren't yet in line of sight to get clear shots at the sails, since they were chasing the pirates. Evalana would need to close in first and turn her vessal to get a clear shot at the pirates with her incendiary bolts.

Meanwhile, the pirates were preparing to defend themselves should that happen.

Roderon could only use the stem's ballistae to fire on the Dunmer trade ship, so they couldn't perform an attack of that scale. He'd need to maneuver himself to be perpendicular the trade ship to be able to do an attack of that scale. They couldn't shot at three different locations at once. As such, the trade ship was able to escape any significant damage to its sails.

The barrels, however, were another matter. One of the barrels managed to explode close enough to damage the Dunmer ship, it wasn't able to get out of the way quick enough. That slowed the ship down, so the pirates could try to close in.

In Raven Rock, the explosions at sea had drawn the attention of the lighthouse's lookout. He used his spyglass to see what was going on and spotted the pirates attacking the trade ship.

Caius gestured for Alain to bring out a map. The Blade produced one from his satchel and placed it on the coffee table near the lordling. Edgard leaned in and pointed to an area a few kilometers northeast of Herne. "It was here, we were taking this route to Stros M'Kai."
