Word has reached the ears of all who seek it by now, that Blackbeard's carribean hideout is one Thatch Island (coined by Teach after one of his many pseudonym) A small island on western edge of Dutch controlled St. John. The race is on to whom can get there first.
Small Island, east of Puerto Rico, 1719
Leading the way toward Thatch Island, you spot the flag of another ship moored near the shallows of an overgrown small island . You immediately determine this is one of your rivals who have stopped to find fresh water and quickly waylaying them here means you will reach Thatch Island first, you can almost taste the prize.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike,The bosun brained with a marlinspike,And cookey's throat was marked belike,It had been gripped by fingers ten;And there they lay, all good dead men, Like break o'day in a boozing ken ,Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Scenario A- CLASH OF SWORDS
Winner prison break vs Winner sack the town
Santa Domingo, Hispaniola, 1719
Bested by your enemies, adding insult to injury you find your enemies have scuttled your ship...fortunately there is a merchant galleon in the harbor ready to set sail..if you can just sneak on board and steal it. An alert member of your crew brings to your attention that there is another scuttled wreck in the harbor, You'd best take that ship quickly as you won't be alone
The skipper lay with his nob in gore, Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore, And the scullion he was stabbed times four And there they lay, and the soggy skies Dripped down in up-staring eyes In murk sunset and foul sunrise, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Scenario B - STEAL THAT SHIP
Loser of Barfight VS Loser Sack the town
Santa Domingo, Hispaniola, 1719
Down on your luck, you take consolation in your recent failures by drowning them in rum, Your Captain has a last chance idea to get your ship to Thatch island and find Blackbeard haul before your Rivals do. However too much rum see's your 1st Mate smashing a bottle over someones head..twenty men jump up to brawl, can you make it out the tavern andto your ship before someone steals it or worse?
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead, Or a yawing hole in a battered head And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red, And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes, Looking up at paradise, All souls bound just contrawise, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Scenario C - BARFIGHT-
Loser of Prison break vs Loser clash of swords
San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1719
Thatch Island is close. A quick stop in San Juan leds to a night drunken reverly and the need for morning a run for "free supplies" before you set sail things get ugly when the people of San Juan and a Rival with same idea get involved all in broad daylight.
There was chest on chest of Spanish gold, With a ton of plate in the middle hold, And the cabins riot of stuff untold, And they lay there that took the plum With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb While we shared all by the rule of thumb, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Scenario D- SACK THE TOWN-
Winner of bar fight vs Winner clash of swords
