A Swedish trader is bought before the King, he tells of disaster at Karlstad. He says that he and his crew found the place in ruins and the entire population, soldiers, women and Frenchmen alike, massacred. The colony itself was surrounded by hostile native tribes but he made a few strange oberservations. For example, it was quite clear that the attackers were armed with firearms and knew how to use them, judging by the fact that almost all wounds sustained by the dead soldiers were from bullets. His summation seems to be that pirates are responsible, despite the colony being three kilometers inland.
Karlstad has been devasted, meaning that Sweden cannot make any money off of the colony until the situation is rectified. The Swedish Crown could organise another expedtion, or declare the venture void and abandon the colony.
