[QUOTE="RichGreen, post: 3275038, member: 2039"] [b]Session #17[/b] Wednesday 28th June The Welstand sets off north in search of Black Bellamy’s treasure. Thursday 29th June The Welstand sails past the English merchantman, the Wooden Nichol. Towards the end of the day, she arrives at the mouth of the river marked on Black Bellamy’s treasure map. Friday 30th June A hand-picked group of pirates heads inland in one of the ship’s boats. The rowing is hot and thirsty work, and several of the crew succumb to heatstroke as the party head upriver through the Yucatan jungles. At dusk, Bloody Mary orders the men to set up a camp on the north bank of the river, opposite what appears to be some Mayan ruins: the main pyramid can be seen towering over the trees on the other bank. Watches are set. William can’t resist having sharing a few swigs of rum with Sailor Bob and Sailor Chris while on his watch. This might be why seven jaguar-men are able to sneak up on the pirates’ camp without being heard or seen and unleash a volley of poisoned arrows at the trio. Sailor Bob is killed and William is poisoned and gravely wounded. Fortunately, his deafening shouts for help bring the rest of the officers (if not the regular seamen who seem to take an inordinate amount of time to get dressed, find their boots and so on) to his aid. Six of the jaguar-men are killed; the one survivor escapes into the jungle. Saturday 1st July In an attempt to keep the sun off the rowers, Merritt and the others try and rig a canopy over the boat using the tents. Sadly, the attempt fails and the pirates are forced to make regular stops in the shade as they did on the day before when the rowers get too hot. Towards the end of the day, they arrive at a tall (100’ high) waterfall, meaning the party will need to press on on foot or portage the boat.

After the battle, the pirates go back down the slope and portage the boat. Sunday 2nd July The pirates reach the cave entrance to Black Bellamy’s treasure. The shaft descending into the darkness is lined with webs which gives them pause. Rodrigo even contemplates throwing a dead lizard into the pit. [/QUOTE]
