The magistrate wants to send out another convoy, and wants you to escort it. A series of lighthouses will show the way, but those will have to be signalled at the proper times to surprise the enemy.

Mission Notes

An escort mission. There will be four lighthouses, with the mission's exit point in front of the "final" one. At all lighthouses a "sleeping" ship is located. That means you can sail up to it and just board it (ships show "crew sleeping" debuff). Two extra ships are sailing around and are hostile from the beginning.

Your escortee will hold position unless you light a lighthouse and click it again to signal him to come to that position.

Basically, best strategy is to board the "sleepers" and then close-combat the two remaining ships one by one. Signal your capital ship if the area around a lighthouse is safe.

Mission Objectives

Escort Your Ally to the Goal
Protect Your Ally
Light three Lighthouses to Illuminate the Channel: 0/3
Use Lighthouses to Signal your Ally

+==Mission Objectives==
-You will find yourself an one end of a corridor between two islands, with a lighthouse on each of the islands; the third lighthouse will be up ahead past these two island. With you will be two merchant ships. These will only start moving towards a lighthouse when it has been lit, and to do that, you have to come within 150 yards and click on it. There will also be a large number of level 12 enemies all over the area, with more spawning as the mission progresses (some of these spawns seem to be triggered by you approaching the lighthouses).<br>
+* Escort Your Ally to the Goal
+* Protect Your Ally
-Speed is your friend here, especially if you're doing the mission solo. Your opponents will be far away from you at the beginning of the mission (and what's more important, far away from your escortees), so you have a mostly free run towards the first and second lighthouse if you get underway as soon as the mission starts. Also consider that until at least one lighthouse has been lit, your escortees are sitting dead in the water, not moving or fighting back (they actually don't seem to fight back at all, even when underway).<br>
+* Light three Lighthouses to Illuminate the Channel: 0/3
+* Use Lighthouses to Signal your Ally
-The idea is to activate all lighthouses as quickly as possible, drawing as many of the enemies away from the merchants as you can in the process, so don't be shy about greeting them with the occasional broadside as you go past them. Once that is done, you can go back and help out the merchants (if you're doing this mission in a group, all but one can of course stay back to protect them). As soon as you start fighting off enemies in earnest, it's very easy to get overwhelmed - so if the lighthouses are already switched on, you'll only have to hold out until the merchants are at the exit point.
