Yellow Fever Outbreak

Yellow fever spreads across our island following our return from the Writhing Deep. What shall we do?

Option 1Perform a RitualIf modern science fails us, then we’ll call upon older forces. We gather our sick in a small hut and perform the rituals, asking for the Old Gods’ blessing. The next day, the yellow fever seems to be gone from our crewmates! They do report some difficulties when breathing, however.
Option 2Offer a Tribute to the AbyssWe gather Wine and Tobacco on a small raft and send it towards the Indigo Abyss, where the Kraken, once worshipped as a god, dwells. A few days later, the fever is gone. Bona fide miracle, or mere coincidence?
Option 3Get Rid of the SickWe gather the sick on a small raft — at sword-point, when needed — and send them away from our island. It might seem cruel, but we pirates are nothing if not pragmatic, and the well-being of the many outweighs the lives of the few.
