As the chaos of battle surrounds you, Gavin Bloodhand's relentless attacks push you to the brink. Your crew fights valiantly alongside you, but it's clear that the tide is turning in favor of the enemy. Remembering your earlier decision, the thought of retreat lingers at the edge of your mind like a ghostly whisper.
Just as Gavin prepares to deliver a fatal blow, a sudden explosion rocks both ships. A cloud of smoke billows from the distance, revealing the silhouette of another vessel closing in fast. The symbol emblazoned on its flag sends a chill down your spine – the Black Ship, infamous for leaving no survivors in its wake.
Amidst the confusion and uncertainty, a grizzled pirate with a scar running across his cheek steps forward, his eyes meeting yours with a mix of challenge and curiosity. 'I am Captain Cliff Darkblade,' he declares, his voice carrying the weight of authority and danger.
