Round 4 Scenario

Thatch Island, 1719

Thatch Island, a small rocky island off the coast of Dutch controlled, St John. Broken ruins can be seen peaking out of the thick tropical growth that covers nearly every stretch of the entire island. There is one length of beach suitable for boat landing, but Jolly boats look to be able to approach the rocky shore from nearly any direction. The water around the island is shallow enough you won't want to get to close, as a sudden gale could push your ship on the nearby coral reef or onto the island rocks itself. This was Edward Teach's base of operations before he headed for the Carolina's and met his eventual end. If Blackbeard hid Henry Morgan's gold here, you know its well hidden and a trick or trap or two is an almost certainty.


Damn you villains, who are you? And from whence came you? Damnation seize my soul if I give your quarters, or take any from you.- Edward Teach, 1718
