Don Lardo strikes back

1. The Loom O’Shean 2014
the 5th
‘Bayko Baron’ pirate adventure

2. • The Loom O’Shean – Once a Dutch tobacco
plantation, now the lair of Violent Vinny Arbuthnot

3. • The Imperial Galleon SS Santissima diverted by Governor Don
Lardo y Graspo for a mission of his own

4. • The old tobacco curing shed and slave cabins now home to Violent Vinny’s
crew and their companions

5. • The Regimento Irlanda form up on the beach

6. • The old Factor’s House – Violent Vinny is clearly having trouble getting Missy Lu-Lu to
come and join the fiesta

7. • Beach palms give way to forest as the climb across the mountains begins

8. • The pirates cheer while their women dance

9. • The Governor of Nuevo Arnajuez, Don Lardo y Graspo himself

10. • The older pirates, and their macaque, take care of the pig
roast

11. • The Irlanda scouts arrive undetected

12. The sounds of fiesta mask any noise and there are no sentries

13. • Molly Sloane looks up from her squash-patch, opens her mouth to scream and dies

14. The pirates turn at the crack of musketry but are
already too late

15. • Unarmed and ambushed the buccaneers run for
their boats

16. But the flanking squads turn the beach into a
slaughter pen

17. While the Santissima arrives to deliver a salvo of grape and
langridge

18. The handful that make it to the boats are shot down in a hail of bullets

19. • Taken inside the house Vinny is saved till Don Lardo arrives to see
him swing

20. • There will be no rapine – but no survivors
either – even Dribble the Doberman dies

21. Don Lardo and the Irlanda come away – above them the Santissima is volleying hot shot now

22. While behind them the air fills with smoke and the stench of scorching meat
