Eating a meal wins 1-0. Then, rolling a die to break the tie decided it for the "buy him a drink" vote.
Although the man bumped into you, he shouts and curses until the three flasks are filled again. Yet another Gold Piece is spent in paying for his drinks, and you begin to wonder how long your money will last. Lose 1 Luck point. You finally manage to leave the bustling bar and lock yourself inside your room.
You wake at dawn after a restless night, scratching madly at inflamed bites from the bedbugs in your straw mattress. Wasting no more time in the Black Lobster, you make your way down the jetty to the Belladonna, which you see is flying the skull and crossbones--the flag of a pirate ship! Walking cautiously up the gangplank, you step aboard the ship.
You walk around the ship until you find Gargo. He tells you that one of his gunners was killed in a tavern brawl last night, and that you will have to take his place. Your job will be to load cannonballs during battle. You are taken below deck and shown your hammock. Soon the Belladonna sets sail and you are pleased that at last you are heading south. In mid-afternoon there is a sudden shout from the crow's nest, "Ship on the starboard bow!" The ship is suddenly bustling with the crew running about their duties. The captain shouts his orders and everybody runs to their battle-stations. Wondering who the enemy might be, you take your place at your cannon. You hear the bad news that the enemy is a man-of-war and not a merchant ship. Noise suddenly erupts all around as the man-of-war's cannonballs smash into the Belladonna. The order is given to fire, but you realize that the Belladonna is no match for the battleship. In the course of the fierce battle, the Belladonna starts to sink and you fear for your life. Roll two dice and compare to your Skill, trying to get lower (not equal); a 5 succeeds.
As the ship starts to sink, all the cannon crew run toward the wooden steps that lead to the upper deck. You are one of the first to reach the steps and manage to get on deck just as the ship goes underwater.
Grab a piece of the masthead and float away from the man-of-war?
Swim toward the man-of-war?
