 ===== Crabclaw Fort =====
+Home to a small garrison it, it is under the command of Sir Marcelo Caratan, a magus from The Tannery States.  While the current garrison is small, it houses the town's Main blacksmith, Armourer, Weapon crafter.  Sir Marcelo also has a room set aside for enchanting both weapons and armour, both for the military and for sale to freebooters.   Their main military function is to watch the mouth of the bay for attacking vessels and signal the attack with whistling  flame arrows.  If an attacking vessel comes close enough, Sir Marcello will attack it with a fireball.
 ===== The Hulk =====
-The Hulk is a Flottah, captured from Hobgoblins a couple of years ago.  It has been decked over and fitted with three huge catapults amidships, supported by large ballistae on the fighting castles.  All five siege engines can be turned to shoot from either side of the hulk.  Below decks, there is low ceilinged accommodation for the crew  - a mix of marines, deck hands and guards.  Just about anyone who arrives in Crabclaw, without money, can get a berth here as a deckhand, they keep the ship clean and shipshape, and act as crew for the siege engines.  Those with military experience are taken on as guards, and given lookout and other military duties, as skilled employees they earn slightly more than deckhands.  Marines and guards, can be deployed in The Hulk’s longboats to board invading vessels, after they have been battered by the catapults.  New recruits sign a two-year contract, and receive minimum pay and leave -  but at the end of their contract they are given a lump sum that will help them get established in the islands.
