Armada

Armada is the second round of Inexorable Altercation.

Description
This round takes place in the middle of a skirmish between the English and Spanish Armadas, only everyone, except Sir Francis Drake, has been teleported elsewhere. The unmanned boats veer wildly out of control across the ocean, and the stars have been blackened to prevent anyone from being able to navigate away from the battle.

Events
Everyone deals with being on a boat. Loran decides to set a trap for Voitrach having come to the conclusion he was the most powerful, he rigs one of the boats full of gunpowder and explodes it when Voitrach is inside. It doesn't do much. Annaliese and Felix met up, with the former attempting to make a magic broom. OTTO and O'rlyath, Will and Apathy meet up and form an alliance. Upon receiving a message from The Network Will seems to undergo some kind of a weird alternate timeline time jump.

The Gentlemen in charge of the competiton have a disagreement and their leader vanishes. This somehow lessens their grip upon this round. The stars reappear followed quickly by the occupants of the boat. Voitrach attempts to convince either side of the conflict into helping him destroy Loran, while Loran preys on the sailors from one boat, before warning them about the others. Will and OTTO and O'rlyath are under attack by sailors. OTTO goes into battle mode and Will is forced to reset him, which inadvertantly sinks the ship they were on. OTTO and O'rlyath end up face to face with Sir Frances Drake. Will recieves another message from The Network and is swapped with his eighteenth incarnation, from a timeline in which Greyve had not been killed. Felix and Loran met up and formed a pact with each until at least until Voitrach was dead. Felix then told Will all his plans rather unnecessarily in a bid to make him seem unreliable.

The Gentlemen began to discuss how to proceed with their leader gone, worried that if other Grandmasters discovered what had happened there would be consequences. Consulting the book they determined that OTTO and O'rlyath were supposed to die next and one of them saw to it that this happened.
