Francis Drake raids Target Location
The eyes of Francis Drake gleam with anticipation as he/she stands at the helm of the Golden Hind, his/her trusted vessel that has weathered countless storms and witnessed untold treasures. his/her crew ready themselves, their hearts pounding in rhythm with the crashing waves against the ship's hull.
With a gesture, the signal is given. Boats are lowered into the water, manned by a crew of fierce men hungry for riches. They quickly overwhelm the defenses of the colony, houses are searched, belongings seized, and treasures looted.
Hours later, the crew return to their ship, laden with spoils, leaving behind a settlement engulfed in flames with survivors that may yet live to tell the tale.
