Kingdom of Bosworth update
As of 21.30 hours on Monday 19th May the order has been given for Admiral Jameson to scuttle the RMS Holton. Expecting such an order the crew of the Holton was prepared and at 21.43 the abandon ship alarm sounded across the ship and the crew and soldiers boarded landing craft and life boats. Admiral Jameson remained on the bridge meanwhile, wires passing around his feet and coming to a halt in a crudely assembled trigger on the control panel. Jameson watched as the lifeboats were lowered and he was left alone on his ship with the dead.
As the crew looked on from their rapidly drifting vessels there came a catastrophic flash of flame from the Holton followed by a deafening blast and a plume of smoke. Soldiers and sailors looked on mournfully at the Holton as it began to sink until just the royal colours remained, fluttering gloriously above the waves, before they too slipped gracefully into the dark deep of the ocean. The troops in the lifeboats watched the distant enemy ships and waited as their craft bobbed across the waves.

Summary: Ren has asked for the destination of the enemy crew to be confirmed. With Brutus and Thunder Child, started taking on enemy crew. Had food made for them. Given orders to speak with commander of the Holton.Reading the orders a second time, Captain Ren looked at his XO: "Epidemic Research? What in the bloody blazes?"
The executive officer of the IRS Sparta looked at the slip of paper containing the newly decoded orders: "Sir. I'm not sure I like the sound of that. Maybe we should ask for clarification? "
Ren let out a concerned sigh: "hmm. I concur."
Turning to the radio officer: "Send to fleet command requesting confirmation of final destination of enemy crew. Request permission to return captives to nearest port in Yardistan. Inform them we have begun to take them on, with the assistance of Brutus and Thunder Child. "
Returning his attention to his XO, Lieutenant-Commander Francis Pitker: "In the mean time le'ts get those men on board. Coordinate with Brutus and Thunder Child, once it's arrived. Tell the galley to prepare something simple for them once we have them on board. Once the commanding officer of the crew is located, bring him to speak with me. And I want ever available sailor armed and keeping an eye on things. I want no mistakes. "
"Aye aye Captain"
Looking down from the bridge, Captain Ren watched as his men started bringing aboard the crew of the doomed RMS Holton. All weapons that the Holton's crew had were commanded to be thrown into the ocean, before they would be rescued.
With the Holton sunk, and the enemy now his prisoner, Ren should have felt the thrill of victory. Unfortunately, there was something about his order that didn't feel right. Why would he have orders to deliver his prisoner to a medical research facility on the other side of the Benacian continent, in Elywnn, when they could easily be deposited at a naval base nearby, in Yardistan or Brookshire.
With a sickening realization, the hairs on the back of Ren's neck stood up like pines in the forest near his home village. And he preyed to the gods he was wrong.

No time for detailed post.
Summary: Holtons crew ordered to open fire on Shirerithian ships with all weapons at this disposal including shoulder launch anti-tank missles or commit suicide. No sailors or marines to be taken alive at any cost.
The people of Gascony, once more unarmed, make their way to their cellars to wait it out.

Says the man ordering his peacekeepers to open fire on Shireithian ships despite the fact that their own ship is sunk and their lifeboats and landing craft will be destroyed ruthlessly quickly. Guido is adept at looking for peace and is not war mongering at all. Meanwhile, I'm here to make sure we're all playing fair and being nice. I won't be at all happy though if I have to moderate one of the protagonists in this story/conflict because of repeated trolling.

Summary: The crew of the Holton is dead. There may be a few survivors in the water, and some wounded, but no boats remain.As the crew of the Holton begin opening fire with a scattering of small arms fire and small rockets they had concealed, the Sparta, Brutus and Thunder Child open fire on them. Shells from the guns of the 3 ships, and small arms fire from sailors on the decks rip through the lifeboats and other craft in the water. As the firing ends, not a single boat remains afloat in the water around the 3 frigates. Flotsam and bodies are all that remain of the Holton's foolish crew.
Captain Ren looks over the scene in horror. This is not what he wanted.
