[QUOTE="RichGreen, post: 3396359, member: 2039"] [b]Session #22 The Rise of the Black Freighter[/b] Bloody Mary orders the remaining pirates to haul as much of the treasure out of the bunker as they can carry back to the boats. The rest (22,000 pieces of eight, three paintings and ten figureheads) is left behind, but the crew take the two serrated daggers needed to open the doors to the treasure vault with them. Saturday 8th July The pirates head downstream in the boat. En route to the coast, William befriends a cayman which follows along behind. Bloody Mary decides to ignore the ruined pyramid in the jungle for now: their mission to bring the Feathered Staff back to Madame Laveau must take priority. Monday 10th July Back on board the Welstand, the pirates set sail for Hispaniola. Just before the ship leaves, a smaller vessel is spotted, heading north. Could this be Montblanc’s ship? Friday 14th July The Welstand arrives at Hispaniola after a smooth crossing of the Caribbean Sea. The captain and her men row into the bayou yet again. For once, the trip into the swamp is not interrupted by an attack from its monstrous denizens and the party are able to reach Madame Laveau’s hut without incident. The hougan is overjoyed to see the pirates have managed to obtain the Feathered Staff and immediately gets the ritual started to summon Maitre Carrefour. The loa appears, riding Captain Flint for the second time and speaking through her lips: “You must return to the site of your folly, the island where you found Cuauhtemoc’s tomb and released him from his eternal prison.

However, she isn’t able to provide them with the potions of lesser restoration they are after. Saturday 15th July Set sail for the Shanty Isles. Black clouds gather overhead and it isn’t long before torrential rain pours down on the Welstand and its crew. Sunday 16th July In the early hours of the morning, William is on watch as the Black Freighter surfaces from beneath the waves just 500 feet or so from the Welstand. The Freighter is a badly damaged schooner with tattered black sails; its crew are bloated-looking undead corpses and its decks are covered in seaweed.
