1. Boarded: Your ship has been boarded, and as captain you've been captured! Better hope the other captain gives quarter. Alternatively, it's a nice warm day for a swim. That plank was made for walking.

2. Victory: You've captured another ship! You knew those extra cannons would come in handy. And let's hope they've got lots of swag! Where's the captain? Are you the decent sort, or are you going to rub their face in it for a bit?

3. Swab the decks: You're a cabin boy! It's a good thing you don't mind doing all the dirty work, right? Anyway, the captain's calling; better see what they want.

4. Marooned: For a bit there you'd thought you were in Davy's Jones' grip, but somehow you've washed ashore with the driftwood. As you stare dazedly up from the surf, you have questions. Where are you? And who's that already on the shore?

5. Buried Treasure: Sink me! You've really found the mother lode. . . but you're not the only one. Who gets to take the treasure back to their ship? Better make sure it's you.

6. Rum: Rum, everywhere.

7. Swordfight: It's that person you can't stand! And they've taken your most valuable possession, that one of a kind thing you just can't live without! Better get that trinket back before it and your nemesis are gone over the side forever. Let's hear some swashes buckling.

8. Mutiny: The tack is full of maggots and this drinking water may as well have come from the gutter. There's one person to blame for this, and you're here to make especially sure that they pay for it. The captain does always seem to take the best treasure before everybody else.

9. Kidnapping: Don't they look rather peaceful, innocent even, sleeping so soundly there with their fancy nightclothes and pillows. Brings a tear to your eye, it does. Better take them aboard and send for a ransom.

10. Take a Gamble: Gotta spend your loot somehow, but it must have been the rum that had you bettin' everything at once! You've lost to your hornswagglin' shipmate; what did you lose, and what will they make you do now?

11. Under the Sea: You are now a Mermaid/Merman! That sailor over there sure looks appealing; let's see if you can lure them in with your charms. Don't forget that they can't breathe under water! You do seem to always forget, don't you. . .

12. The Doldrums: Can you say cabin fever? The sails haven't moved in weeks. You're about seeing if your mates can relieve this awful boredom.

13. Wild card. What do. Your choice. It doesn't even have to be here - wait why am I even explaining this to you YOU KNOW HOW THIS WORKS.

ROLL FOR ME AND HELP ME DUST OFF THIS GUY

Oh man. I got an 11. *cracks knuckles* Lets see here...

[Well, this was going to be very interesting. There was talk of Mermaids being in these waters and that talk was about to be proven. There were dark shapes under the water, curious as to the new ship that had weighed anchor off shore. It was hard to tell if it was sharks or something else from the deck, but in a rowboat on the water, it was easier to tell.

The shapes seemed to be part human and part fish. The creatures seemed to be watching, hoping that the pirates didn't go near a small hidden cave off to the far side of the shore. The few people that had gone in hadn't returned. If you dare to go inside, there was a woman, half in the water and half out, burn scars and some very odd knife wounds on her back. She seemed unconscious, but breathing.]

...um okay BRING IT

[Hughes knew all about the mermaids, yes. He only researched about them every so often. There were so many stories, but not as much evidence...

He peers over the railing at the shapes. Now, he highly doubts these were sharks; these waters shouldn't have any sharks at all, from what he had read. In any case, they had weapons with which to fend off anything, sharks or whatever. They had dealt with worse.

So without further ado, Hughes joins the first rowboat lowered down onto the sea.]
