Kell Island: Ready For Action. 2/5

News has arrived that a Maritime Alliance Fleet has been spotted. With the news and reinforcements came an officer of Engineers who took one look at the ramshackle earthworks and went up one side of the Captain in charge of the garrison, and down the other then set the men to work.

The Engineer accompanied by the FTC Governor inspects the new redoubt while the garrison falls in.

Three days later a better  bastion had been built  whose guns could cover both the harbour and the bridge as well allowing infantry to enfilade any assault on two faces of the fort.

Plans were under away to begin a similar bastion on the far corner of the fort when a fisherman from the village brought word that sails had been spotted approaching the pass.

The Commandant ordered the garrison to stand to.

Native Scouts from the mainland react as drummers in the fort start to beat the Long Roll.
