Captured by the Royal Guard, Sir Geoffrey Stinger, Lord Marshal, etc...

[Obadiah Jib]

Okay you are doing a little smuggling or perhaps dumping a corpse in the briny deep when an official of the crown or other member of the authority catches you in the act.  Said official appears to be welcome to a bribe.  As luck would have it you only have your standard garb and kit.  What do you offer them for a bribe?

Information

true or not!

[Capt Robertsgrave Thighbiter]

His life !   You did say an offical, right?

[Lord Figaro]

Give him what he wants to turn the other way. Then steal it back when he turns his back on yee. 

[Lady Amy of York]

You have a couple of  choices :

1. offer him false information
  2. offer him his  life
   3. offer him a share of  the treasure   you have  discovered wheter it be  true  or  not
    4. Jump him, grab his sword, and  try to make a run  for  it
   
Or perhaps  the body/ corpse  you dumped  was one of a  nobleman.   You confiscated  a ring he  was wearing before you  disposed of him.  You are now  wearing it, and  you show it  to the official. It has some  crest on it, which  the official  recognises  and   he  lets  you  go.

And what if he has a whole bunch of no-necked thugs/ guards/ knight with him?

[dragongirl]

Very simple, my captian and the rest of the crew are all lovely lasses, like myself.  We use our wiles and charms to render the guards insensible and then our men on our brother ship, the Devil's Chariot, will dispatch them right quick...lol

Well being the captain of  ' the Lusty Lady "  I  would   call for our secret plan.  That being :   my lovely female crew members  strip down to their   low cut chemises and show off  their bossoms while  the strong  able bodied  men on my crew  sneak up  behind  and overtake  the thugs.

The map I carry of Captain Kidd's buried treasure, (false map). Then when he moves close enough ta get a look see it, the small flintlock hidden up me sleeve pressed to his temple, (no pirate worth his salt ever goes about unarmed).

After having him slowly drop his weapons in ta the drink, and orderin' his lads ta do the same. We backs toward his horse I climbs in ta the saddle, then pays him the bit 'o lead I owes him before gallopin' off.

No official is goin' ta honor any bribe ye offers him anyway. Them buggers will just take the bribe, then arrest ye, or bloody kill ye on the spot anyways. Ye're best bet be ta at least attempt an escape as best ye can.

Being a woman, I would grab him by the lapels of his frock coat, gently draw him to me, remove his hat and toss it to the side. Sensuously lick my lips and whisper, 'Now we can do this the hard way or the fun way.....' 

Why send in an entire crew when a party of two will do?

Welsh wench you had  the  best idea  yet !   

[Welsh Wench]

...as I open a bottle of Moet and Chandon.

[dragongirl]

Naw...I'd rather open my bodice instead.  It will make it easier to punch later.   

[Welsh Wench]

But sometimes the soft touch of a velvet glove is better than a hit on the head with a hammer.

Besides, why not let HIM do the unlacing? Slowly.

[NorthBayDreamer]

I offer up his choice of any wench in my company.
