Crown Prison

Our peers are rotting away in a local prison. If we free them, they’ll join our cause.

Event flow

We stormed the harbour by surprise, but our real objective is the prison. Let’s “negotiate” our people’s release.
This small town has nothing of value… except the pirates being held in their cells. They are ill-prepared for our attack.
Either the townsfolk give our people liberty, or we give them death. They choose life. Our comrades are free!
We cannot let them reach that port. Kill them all!
The Crown’s lackeys come to enact justice. We can’t have that.
The Crown’s justice is averted. We’ll be rewarded handsomely.

Decision	Choose	Result
Option 1	Hire Crew.	Who’s afraid of sharks? Not us, apparently. The beasts injure many of our Crew, but we get a hefty pile of plunder in return.
Option 2	Repair Ship.	”Merci! Merci, mon ami!!” Drifters flood our deck in a hubbub of different tongues and dialects. The exhaustion on their faces fades away as they wolf down rations and drinks.
Option 3	Get Supplies.	We might be eager for loot, but this mystery Cargo is not worth the price of admission. We’ll leave it for now.
Option 4	Later perhaps.	We have no use for these unlucky bastards right now. Perhaps later, if they haven’t drowned by then.
