Captain Tripps

Captain Tripps is the third saga of Overture 3. Dealt with a pirate crew called the Red Howl trying to seize all of the king's riches, even resorting to kidnapping the king.
==Synopsis==
Under the provisions of the treaty Bukoski had signed, the Carnetradians as well as the Red Howl were allowed to enter Harracktor unabated. The Red Howl were a pirate crew living south of Carnetrada. The Red Howl were notorious for their dealing of illegal items as well as being allies of Carnetrada.
===Theft===
The Red Howl did not immediately show up in Harracktor as soon as the treaty was put into effect. They waited in the shadows and when they saw an ideal time to strike, they entered Harracktor. The Red Howl, led by their captain, Captain Tripps , entered the grounds of Harracktorian castle when the least amount of guards were present and entered the king's vault. Putting all the riches in their chests and trunks, they left without much interference. When King Bukoski VII was informed of the theft, he ordered the Sacred Swords as well as dwarven slaves to retrieve his wealth back at all costs. The motley crew would travel to Tripps Keep where the Red Howl 
resided but found no one. For the red Howl were already two steps ahead of them. Anticipating there would be retaliation, the Red Howl doubled back to Harracktor and with all the guards left to get back the treasure, the Red Howl were able to take Bukoski hostage. When the Sacred Swords returned home, unable to find the pirates, they found notes left by the pirates stating that if they wanted their king back, they would need to pay for his safe return.
===Take it Back! ===
The Sacred Sword and the dwarfs returned to Tripps Keep once more and found the Red Howl, waiting for them. Captain Tripps demanded one million King's Squares for the return of the king and when the Sacred Sword did not comply, the two sides engaged in battle. Most of Tripps' crew were slain instantly, for they had recklessly rushed into battle. Tripps, determined to fight to the end, stood his ground. An arrow fired by Grimval Laft would hit the Captain square in the chest and send him reeling overboard. With Captain Tripps presumed dead, the group freed the king and returned home, victorious.
