They claim that Captain Macintire was merely playing a prank on an old friend when three guards rushed onto the scene and hacked the sailor to death with their halberds. "He was just showin' his new cutlass to old ... uh ... what'shisname there, and the guards came runnin' in and killed him. There weren't no need to do that! That guy's been friends with the crew for years, he knew the Captain wasn't really serious." "Yeah, an' they're jus' about impossible to kill, them guards!" said fellow sailor, Jake the Mauler.
Guards say they were summoned by citizens to the scene in front of the Peg Leg Inn where Cap. Macintire was brutally attacking Roger the Fisher. Roger, according to most reports, was curled up in a fetal position on the road as the captain cut him again and again with a large, new cutlass. "It is my job to keep Obsidian safe." said Maldrid, one of the three guards involved in the incident. Drakwin and Norman, the other two guards on the scene, echoed Maldrid's words.
Bystandards were convinced that justice had been done. "They're a bunch of pirates! That's all they are," said a wandering adventurer who asked to remain anonymous. "They were beatin' up the fisherman just for fun. They know the rules as well as anyone. You don't attack people in town. Period. They got what was coming!"
"My friends? I, uh, guess so. Yeah, that pirate was just showing me his sword, that's all. I swear it! I mean sailor. Not pirate. Don't tell 'em where I am!" Roger the Fisher said, recovering in a healer's home south of Britain.
Cap Macintire will be buried at sea with a wake to follow on board his las command.
