Transcript:A Race to the Sea

This is the transcript for the third Stronghold 3 Blackstaff mission, A Race to the Sea.
==Intro==
Blackstaff: The Rats escaped our swords, spurred on by their own cowardice. It made them run faster than I thought them able; chasing them, tracking them was harder than it ought to have been. We chased them halfway across the country, until one day we heard that they had stopped moving.
They had holed up in a shipyard and were raiding the local villages for supplies, waiting - word had it - for a ship to take them to Greyshore Island, the very place where I grew up.
Greyshore is a hellish place, ruled by The Brotherhood with cruel, vice-like grip. It was a place that I ran from as soon as I was old enough, away from The Brotherhood. The Brotherhood have been working with the Rats, there's no telling how bad the corruption has gootten, and no telling how deadly a power they could be.

Blackstaff: I called help from our ally, the Sultan. He told me of a beach just down the coast, where we could rally forces and build weapons to try and take them down. 
He would help us out with some siege equipment for our mission. And, if we failed, he was sending a ship to take those forces after the Rats, chase them to Greyshore, and stop them there.
----
Storyteller: The Rats have fortified a shipyard in the next bay, where they are readying a ship. They have only a few troops and this is an excellent opportunity to take them, before they reach the safety of the sea. Use the beach as a base, from which to quickly gather your forces and launch an attack.
==Gameplay==
(The Rats' forces are decimated as Blackstaff launches the attack. When the keep is captured...)
Scribe: Lord Blackstaff, the enemy have taken ship and fled.
