Following Orders

[Just Jesse]

HEY EVERYONE!!! Sorry i havnt posted in a while, still been keeping up with everything...life gets kinda crazy sometimes. I regret to inform all of yall that I will be a pirate, this year. Now, i dont really like most pirates i meet at faire, but I have had the desire to give it a try for quite some time, even though they are godless, peasants. Please brothers and sisters dont think less of me.   

[Sir William Marcus]

So, should we refer to you as Pirate Jesse? Or Captain Jesse Sparrow?

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

From this sad news, I shall refer to you in the past tense.....

[Sir William Marcus]

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

ROFLMAO   again!!!!!!!!

[Femme Falchion]

Please brothers and sisters dont think less of me.   

Don't be frettin' Captain TJ....I be sure your choices wont be changin' what the Brothers and Sisters think of you one bit.. ..but I be wantin' to know....what has lured you o'er to the other side?  Tis it the booty, the lasses, the grog?

Once I had the desire to be a godly, noble-born, damsel in distress at faire.  Then I sobered up.   

It's ne'er too late to change yer mind Captain. 

[Sir William Marcus]

It's has to be the rum & wenches. Being such a young lad it is easy to be seduced by such temptations.

[Femme Falchion]

it sounds as if you have experience in these matters Brother William, wistful for the good ole' days?

...was going to suggest an exorcism since you've been so effective with that technique in the past

rolling savings throws against distress is not helpful when defending one's homeland in melee combat

well, ive always loved the ocean, i go to the beach multiple times a year, i grew up being the son of one of the biggest jimmy buffet fans(parrot head). I do not like pirates more than, anything medieval, like ive said when i introduced my self, im going to school right now to get a masters in history, mainly medieval. i gre up having few cool teachers, so i want to be one kids will never forget. any way, one reason i am being a pirate ths year, is because of my friend will. i told yall how he broke hisback a couple of months ago... so he can not wear his armor for quite a while.he loves all things medieval like i do. but he cannot dress as a knight, so he will be being something a little more comfortable. its a sore subject for all of my friends. as i said in my earlier post, all pirates i meet at faires so far, have been...i wont talk about that. and all the jack sparrows, im not going there!

Yours, in my HIStorically accurate world.

Templared Jesse (remember the past tense reference?)

You could always make the following a "reality"!!

The Templar Pirates

The maritime history of the Knights Templar following the Church's attempt to expunge them in southern France

• Shows that the pirates of legend originated with the Knights Templar's secret navy

• Reveals the Templars' secret objective to establish a new universal order based on spirituality, wisdom, and individualism--the New Jerusalem

• Examines the secret history of the Templars' influence in international politics

When the Vatican condemned the Order of the Temple in 1312, many of those who escaped took to the sea. Their immediate objective was to take revenge on the Church. Recent discoveries confirm that ships of the Templar fleet that went missing at La Rochelle later reappeared--first in the Mediterranean and later in the Atlantic and Caribbean--to menace the Church's maritime commerce. These Templar vessels often flew the famed Jolly Roger, which took its name from King Roger II of Sicily, a famed Templar who, during a public spat with the Pope in 1127, was the first to fly this flag.

Opportunistic buccaneers were quick to see that vast wealth could be gained in pursuing the Templars' harassment of the Pope's interests on the high seas, and they spread a reign of terror across the shipping lanes of the New World. Some unaffiliated pirates, in admiration of the Templar egalitarian ideals, even formed their own secret societies, and together with the Templars were part of the ferment that gave rise to independence movements in France and the New World and contributed to the growth of Freemasonry.

The Templar Pirates is the story of the birth and actual conduct of piracy on the seas of the New World and of the influence the Templars had on their constituents, and, by their wealth, on the governments of nations old and new.

[Sir William Marcus]

I was just getting to suggest that! 

There you go Jesse..GO FOR IT!

I love the sacrifice you're willing to make for your healing companion.  Brotherhood.  Also, I don't believe your interactions with Pirates at faire are representative...I have never met a Gentlemen o' fortune that I didn't like!  


Warrior Monk..

Great information on the Templar Buccanneers.  Does this mean there were Templar Wenches too?
*Now that would be some fun garbing!*
