James said "ok. in that case, we're going through the jungle. in a few minutes, we'll reach the edge of town. i'm need you to work your magic on a couple of guards who'll be at the gates. they'll be drunk and probably want to have some company. they'll pay their attention to you, giving me the chance to slit their throats."
sonn, the two were at the city gates, with James walking through the plants and Adeline on the path. the drunk guards did as James thought they might, moving forward toward the girl. James snuck behind one, which was a fair distance behind his friend. the other drunk guard didn't notice as his friend had his throat slit and skull bashed in with the silver base of James' engraved dagger. he snuck up to the second and tapped on his shoulder, and as the drunk turned around, got hit in the face with a mug of rum that had been on the ground. the man was knocked out, and James looted him, finally ripping the man's uniform off and throwing it into a pool of mud. he joined adeline into the town and got into the garden of the Governor's home. there was a ladder put up on the wall, above which was a hole which was apparently being repaired. "too easy..." whispered James, as he lifted the ladder, angled it so that he could see through a second floor window, and climbed up, opening the window and sneaking in. Adeline stayed outside, standing watch. he looked through the room he was in, and found the ratty Admiral sleeping. James smiled and walked over to the sleeping man, and slit his throat. the man was dead in seconds. James Smiled as he looted the entire room. soon, he had a ruby bigger than a cannonball, a diamond bigger than his eye, and a bag of gold almost too heavy to lift. he dumped the Gems in the bag and threw it out the window. it landed with a clink, and he jumped down, landing on his back and raising his hand for adeline to pull. he asked her to help him lift the bag, and she agreed. as they reached the gate, they saw 10 guards run out of the Governor's mansion. James said "time to run!" and ran as fast as he could with the bag over his shoulder, and adeline's hand in his. they ran and reached the ships, and climbed aboard, getting away from the army just in time.
half an hour later, as they were well away from the shore, the Captains regathered. James asked "how was your first day as a pirate?" and waited for a response
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
