Buy his silence with your rapier

From Create Your Own Story

You skewer the smug little counterfeiter with your rapier and leave his basement with your new uniforms. You go back to Midnight, get Miguel and handcuff him. Then, dressed as Royal Navy officers, you and your four men walk Miguel to Drakesport's jail, a squat grey building that sits right next to the sea. Two guards are standing at the door.

"Halt! Who goes there?" shouts a big, red-haired guard.

"We're bringin' this prisoner," you grunt, trying to imitate a dour British soldier. "He's called Miguel, surely ye've heard of him."

"Ah, yes. Of course we have." He squints at you strangely. "Wait here please." He goes back inside the building.

A minute later, a dozen armed guards burst out of the jail: "Hands up! Drop your weapons!"

"But we're officers of the Navy!" you protest.

"No you're not," replies the red-haired guard. "These uniforms are fake. The badges are all wrong."

As the guards haul you away, you wonder if the counterfeiter made a mistake or tricked you. All six of you are hanged the next morning.
