The story behind it:

"On doit se dépêcher, allez!" The six figures hurried over the broad beach towards a reeled rowboat. Five dark rascals, clothed in a fancy mixture of robust clothes and run down dandy accesoires, hauled a tall, attractive girl with them. "For the last time, release me! Or my brother will make you wishing not to be born!". Appruptly, the apparent leader stopped, so the others crashed together. With blowing sash he moved around and slaped the girl heavily. "On aura tout vu! For the last time, SHUT UP!! Or I will you make to! Noone can hear ya, and your damn brother won't help ya also! You are my life assurance in this strange and dangerous watercourses, nothing more and less! And now - Allez!"
The rascals pushed her foward roughly, and the procession continued.
Suddenly, a distinguished hound with extravagant long corkscrew hair raised his left arm (crowned by a nasty hook): "Capitaine! Over there!"
The five men's head jerked around and focused a huge tiger and an even more built lion crossing the plain.
"NON! NON! Not them!!" Rather (to be honest, very) unworthily they raced to the rowboat. Michel de Grammont (the flibustier's captain called himslef Chevalier, though it was never prooved he was) lost his silk hankerchief, left it cursing where it felt, teared one flintlock gun out of his sash and set his target. The other pirates launched the boat and staffed the rudders. Le Chevalier tried to hold his arm as stiff as possible and fired his gun...The howling bullet missed the mark just one inch above Galen's head. "Cap'n! Hurry!", a shaggy bear with a long chinese moustache shouted.
Michel made a desperate jumb and reached the rowboat.
The dark rascals nearly managed to escape, though Nimara struggled as much as she could...but through the tide, high waves crushed again the vessel, and Galen and his friend Zhal went nearer and nearer....

I will replace this with the coloured version later...
