I would prolly suggest a pirate ship boarding action, viciously repulsed thanks to the aid of your boys.  However the ship is rammed or otherwise damaged.  From here i suggest you shipwreck them on an island.   If the crew and cargo are largely intact perhaps the PC's would be co-erced to scout the island while the crew repairs the ship.  The crew will need fresh water, lots of wood, a place tall enough they can rig for new masts, and fresh food supplies.  The PC's are hired fighters and expendable as opposed to the trained seamen needed to run the ship.  Perhaps the captain can make some references to buried treasure they can keep, which the crew will laugh at.  The Pally and Orc get to slap their armor back on which should make them happy.  Populate the island with your ubiquitous cannibals, raptors, and Ziggaurat lost temples.  Perhaps they can gain the trust of a local tribe and succeed in making their supply gathering easier.  Cheesy, yes.  Formulaic, yes.  But fun.</blockquote>
