Dividing the Fleet

gold_fleet_nueva_espana_events.10

Word reaches Target Leader that Secondary Port lies open to us as well, its warehouses heavy with Gold and hides. A squadron could be detached to gather that wealth too, though it would mean splitting our strength in dangerous waters.

We may hold the fleet here at Loot Port until the detachment returns, or press on for Rendezvous Port and let them catch us there.
