December 13, 2019 @ 5:30-9:30 P.M.

 < WARNING SPOILERS FOR 50 FATHOMS AHEAD MATEY! ALSO A WARNING ABOUT SQUICK IN THIS RECAP. READ ON...IF YOU DARE!> 

Day 188

PLACE: THE PIRATE SEA

WEATHER: SUNNY

TIME OF DAY: MORNING

     La Arcadia headed southeast, towards Jomba Town. Captain Red Pirate Roberts released the mute girl, Sarah Galloway, who noticeably calmed down when told they had escaped Dunich successfully, from the brig. Despite her youth, she had been trained as a sailor aboard the Pough, before that vessel met its tragic end on shoals in Dunich Bay.

Day 189

PLACE: THE PIRATE SEA

WEATHER: RAINY

TIME OF DAY: EVENING

     La Arcadia sailed through an area which had increased game, so the sailors managed to hook a few more fish to go with stale crackers.

Day 190

PLACE: THE PIRATE SEA

WEATHER:FOGGY

TIME OF DAY: EVENING

     Redbeard Rufus appeared and began chasing La Arcadia in The Incinerator. La Arcadia managed to stay ahead of The Incinerator and out of range of its cannons. 

[Andrew played Foul Winds which brought a storm into the chase. This turned out to be quite an advantage due to the Wind Sense edge that Red Pirate Roberts had recently taken.]

     The storm slowed both ships down as they fought the winds.

     The winds picked up and planks from the rotten Incinerator went flying, carrying zombie sailors into the Pirate Sea with them.

     
     Despite all this, The Incinerator kept getting closer. Horventerous and Ricardo unleashed bolts of water and wind at The Incinerator that seemed to be dampened by the surrounding storm.

     
     The Incinerator came alongside La Arcadia. Unk swung across and tried to grab Redbeard Rufus, but his hands slipped. Then Redbeard Rufus affixed his gruesome visage at Unk and he collapsed on the deck of The Incinerator clutching his chest. Horventerous and Ricardo cast two more desperate bolts at The Incinerator, but to no avail. 
     Redbeard Rufus tried to negotiate with Horventerous. 
     "I'll trade you the life of your friend for my golden triangles."--Redbeard Rufus
     "No deal."--Horventerous
     "So be it"--Redbeard Rufus

[Well that was a Greedy hindrance Bennie.]

     Redbeard Rufus lifted Unk up with one hand and drew out his cutlass which screamed as it slashed Unk's neck and severed his head from his body. Redbeard Rufus kicked Unk's body to the sea and held Unk's head out for the group to see. 

     "Let it be witnessed that this is the fate of all who would dare get between me and my treasure."--Redbeard Rufus

[Chessie played Suzu for the rest of the game.]

    The Incinerator had no captain at the wheel and seemed to hit something in the water before it vanished.
     Red Pirate Roberts guided La Arcadia through the storm intact but it had thrown them off course. They were now well south of Jomba Town and now near Maroa in between Taratos and Cuwayo. 

Day 191
PLACE: THE PIRATE SEA
WEATHER: RAINY 

     La Arcadia sailed to Calib's Rock.

Day 191

PLACE: CALIB'S ROCK, TARATOS

WEATHER: STORMY

       The group took the longboats to shore and Suzu saw something in the waters but was ignored by the rest of the group. They entered the local tavern and heard a tale about treasure from Owen McDougal. The group caroused and Horventerous dreamed of treasure chests with a golden triangle.


Day 192

PLACE: CALIB'S ROCK, TARATOS

WEATHER: OVERCAST
  
    Horventerous convinced Red Pirate Roberts to stay. The group bought picks, shovels, and provisions. They had Owen guide them to the spot to dig. They managed to get to 30 feet deep the first day. 

Day 193

PLACE: CALIB'S ROCK, TARATOS

WEATHER: SUNNY
  
    The group dug to 60 feet deep on the second day. The shaft started filing with water at the bottom and no amount of paling would remove it. Horventerous noticed it was salt water and figured out that perhaps the treasure could be gained from the Pirate Sea.

 

Day 194

PLACE: THE PIRATE SEA

WEATHER: SUNNY
  
     Horventerous spotted the cavern with the bottom of the shaft, seeing tarred planks with two treasure chests on top. But he was set upon by a swarm of bloodfish. He tried to fight them with a sword and bolts, but the deaths of individual fish did nothing to stop the swarm.

    
     Horventerous cast blast and killed most of the bloodfish swarm, but a small school split off from the main group and continued to harass him until he used a second blast. 

     Horventerous was attacked a second time by a bloodfish swarm as he attempted to pry the wooden bars with a pick.  He cast blast and the bloodfish split into two smaller schools of fish before he used a second blast to get rid of the nuisances.  

 

     Horventerous managed to pry loose the two treasure chests. He opened up the treasure chests with his pick. He found 2,000 pieces of eight and gave half to the captain as well as a suit of leather armor. He grabbed a dagger and the fourth golden triangle for himself. 

Day 195

       La Arcadia sailed to Tuck...
