French pirate on Isla Muelle

:yes Argh!! Me picked up a sissy French laddie on Isla Muelle, dee scurvy dog promising heaps o' gold and dee instructions on how to get it once we made sea. Now, me crew 'n' I have been sailing fer days and dat French scoundrel still ain't said a word. Me 'n' me crew been contemplating siking da bastard fer his insolence, because he also been taken up a ship slot with his rickety brigantine. Is der any way to complete dis quest, me mateys, or is dis French sissy best sent to dee bottom o' dee sea?

P.S.: Me sacked Isla Muelle after me landed there... could dat be why he's not talking?
 
Make sure you check your Quest Log, Terror - sometimes there are clues there that don't come out in regular conversation, but will help head you in the right direction. :yes :cheeky
 
:yes Argh!! Does it matter if dee French still control dee port o' Oxbay? Dis be a new game I be sailin' on, and I been buildin' up me character before startin' me "main" quest. I already took meself a pair o' battleships and a galleon full o' silks and sandal to sell on dat island o' Redmund (er... whenever me gets there), and dee French dog's brig, demasted in a battle with dee Fort on Isla Muelle, is startin' to look like a pretty poor filler for me fourth ship slot. Especially since me can't store me loot on 'er... aw well, i'll take meself on a little tour o' Oxbay and see what happens der. Many thanks me mateys!!
 
Terror, you may have to get the French out of Oxbay before you can continue with your Frenchman's quest. Luckily it's not a big problem to do that, just a little back and forth errand running, and then you can ignore Silehard's next errand and concentrate on getting your stats up again. :yes :cheeky
 
Well, I have to say I'm having a little problem with this quest... I didn't have to get the French out of Oxbay, when you arrive to the isle, you automatically dock, and appear in land with the french captain and people from your crew (two characters named as "Nathaniel's crew memeber" or something like that in my case, I had 1 officer hired, so maybe if you've the max number of officers there will be no crew with you).

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!

- You appear in Oxbay mines and gotta steal the gold from them, but once you kill all guards, the french tells you the gold convoy has left the mine and it's heading to Oxbay. You have to cross half the island searching for it, and finally, near Oxbay back entrance, you find 5 english soldiers, supossedly to be the "gold convoy" you're chasing. So you kill them before they leave that screen, and... here's the problem: First time I killed them, the french captain came to me, said something, BUT while he was talking to me, my character was in "please don't hurt me" animation, you know, when you attack some unarmed civilian, they cover themselfs with their hands and stay low and like "asking for mercy", well, Nathaniel was that way, and I was not able to defend or move or anything, and while he was that way, THE REST OF MY CREW AND MY OFFICCER ATTACKED ME AND KILLED ME!!! while the french captain was still talking to me!!!

I loaded the game, and killed everyone again, but this time the captain didn't talk to me, and `no-one` attacked me. The quest book updated, though, and it said something like that now we had the gold, but we still had to bring it to the ships. and that "the easiest way is to sail one ship to the bay while the rest waits to load the gold", well, I'm lost: I've tried to dock at every hot spot ot the island (even the french Oxbay colony, of course the fort attacks me and I can't dock...) and nothing. Don't know how to load the gold, When I dock somewhere, I appear in land with me and my officer, AND the captain, but no crew like in the "get the gold convoy" mission. I try to talk to the captain, but he woulden't say anything, he doesn't even attack when I'm attacked, and no NPC attacks him in the middle of a combat! But my officcer attacks and get attacked... So I think there's some bug or something, or if not, please someone tell me how to get the damned gold! Or maybe I have to get rid of the frenchs? :huh

Anyway, I've loaded the battle against the english `gold-escort` soldiers a lot of times, and sometimes my crew kills me without the french captain talking to me (I think he just sais we got the gold and we have to load it to the boats soon, or something like that, I always die before I can read it properly), some other times I'm not in "please don't kill me" mode, but the crew STILL attacks me, but I lose no health! And some other, it just happend nothing, I kill the soldiers, the french captain doesn't talk to me, the quest book gets updated... but I still don't know what to do to load the gold!!!
 
I went! to every spot. But I dock and the french doesn't say anything, and there's nothing to pick up... Anyway I'll try again now that I know where exactly I have to go, thanks!
 
Hey, but wait. there's only the lighthouse, far beach and gray rock bay in Oxbay Island, apart of the ports... what's that "secluded beach"?
 
:cheers Argh!! Me first saw dee lighthouse from da sea whilst attacking a French merchant close to dee shore, and thought to meself "Cool, there be a lighthouse!". Does she actually light her beacon at night, me mateys? Would be mighty cool, say I, to be a sailin' off over da horizon and be able to see dee lighthouse beacon a glimmerin' against the night sky.
 
@skull - Nah, nothing, I've checked every shore a hundred of times, but there's nothing, and nothing happends. What is supposedly to happend when I'm in the correct shore? I suppose the captain talks to me, but he has never talked again since we got the gold convoy, and he's chasing me anywhere I go... I'm starting to get sick of him, because he does nothing, he doesn't attack or anything, just like a ghost!

The curse of the sissy french captain... LOL
 
When yer at de right beach yer loading screen should say Oxbay Shores,ye need tew walk to it,ye can't fast traval. Clair Larouse should start dialog wid yew,yer interupted,fight some Englisgmen,Dialog wid Clair again,split de loot wid em,or kill em an take it all fer yerself,I prefer de latter, Har! :cheers
