Turn 11 - They still be here!Reload, then send em to meet davy jones
Hell's bells! It be a right bloody swarm indeed! (4) Ye barely manage to finish loadin' the ball before a dozen of em climb on deck! Make that 11, one now be burnin' through 'is head.
Rush to my ballista. Take aim at a rat thing. Fire. Be a badass.
Ye jump aboard yer contraptn'n, (2) but it not be loaded.
Attept to drag th' ratdogman on me fishn' pole through th' firrre, to get a !!ratdogmanflail!! Continue spinin'!
(6) The beast crashes through another o' th' ship's lamps (ye may want ta replace these), coatin' yer captive in burnin' oil! Ye plow him into 6 o' his rat bastard friends, sendin' 'em sailin' through the air and inta th' water, knocked out cold as a day in Norway! Not that ye have time t' notice this, dizzy as ye are, nor do ye notice when the flailin', flamin' savage passes right under one o' the sails, settin' it alight...
Be waitin' a minute... Ah, here it is!
I be consultin' my (slightly burnt, shot, and exploded) version of Creatures and Curses to try and find out what these rat things are!
(4) Arr, let's see... here they be!
"Aunt Trixie's Literal Sea Rat Curse"
"A Voodoo curse inspired by that old classic, 'Albanian Toll-house tea biscuits and Werewolf curse'
*Too burnt, exploded, an' shot ta read* ...transmissable by bite or stealing from the priestess in question. Accursed cannot enter dry land, except during Spring Tides, and will turn into monsters. Like most cursed creatures, they possess a weakness to pure substances such as silver, but may also be destroyed by decapitation. Otherwise, they heal all injuries, though extreme ones may disable them for long periods of time. Symptoms can be severely lessened by timely application of any standard counter-curse methods. Full reversal requires elaborate ritual, offering of a first-born child, or successful Wrongful Damages suit against aforementioned priestess."
Use intense negotiation 'n the forrm o' me !scimitarr! to convince a few other scoundrrels to leave.
(2) They not be intimidated by yer warnin' slashes.
If I be on th' side facin' th' over ship, poke me pistol out an' see if I can't shoot some lubbers, aye.
(2) Ye be on th' side facin' th' other ship, but both yer pistols miss.
Get those cannon reloaded, layabouts!
(3) Thus disarmed, th' Gunnerymen realize they not be in any imminent danger, what with all the swarmin' bein' twards the deck. They manage t' load grapeshot inta 2 o' the cannons.
Ach, keep the blimey accursed back!
(3) Ol' timmy claims a couple o' limbs.
(6) The fire reaches th' other ship's magazine! Luck be on yer side, though, and the blast does no serious damage to yer own ship. Due to her condition, th' other ship splits in half, the top half collapsin' onta th' bottom, leavin her still afloat.
(5) The rats bum-rush the Diplomat! (Roll to dodge!=4) She manages ta retreat but she be cornered!
