Cue pirate music!
In Corpse Reef, Jaego Roth has reached the barrier reef at the edge of the Galleon's Graveyard. Made of bone and dead sailors, it is identical to the mad dreams of his father (guess he doesn't seem so mad now, eh?)
Roth spies the Bloody Reaver in the mist, appearing, disappearing, taunting him.
He knows he can't sink the Reaver in these conditions, but resolves to take first blood. In this scenario, the first ship to take 8 damage cards must withdraw.
Roth took advantage of the wind at his back to race through the reef, a couple of close calls nearly colliding with the islands. The first broadside of the game scored a few hits, but the Reavers ability to repair damage is horrendously powerful.
The two ships drew up alongside each other and let loose, Noctilus succeeding in ordering Fire as She Bears! And killing a few of the Heldenhammer's crew.
Fate insisted that a sea giant turned up, but Noctilus has an ability to control sea creatures, so it turned around and sought out the Heldenhammer
At anchor, the Heldenhammer launched a sneaky little ship, laden with blackpowder...
As it reached the Reaver, it exploded and caused three fires to break out on deck!
Unfortunately, an assassin boat was travelling in the opposite direction. The assassin, no doubt an ancient pirate Wight, sought out Roth and wounded him.
The Reaver smashed into the Heldenhammer. Roth and Noctilus fought to a stalemate in a duel, but the vast crew of the Reaver was too much for the Heldenhammer. Despite being thoroughly ablaze, the Reaver was successfully repairing damage, while the wounded Roth was failing. After taking 8 damage cards, the Heldenhammer was forced to retire, limping out of the Corpse Reef with morale in tatters.
Next week, part 2!
