THE DEAD MAN'S MAP part 6
We wrap up Captain NetGru's birthday with some liberty at the pirate haven of Blackwater Cay.
What could possibly go wrong?
Everything.
The crew encounters a dying pirate carrying something more valuable than gold: a mysterious map pointing toward Gravewind Island, a legendary place said to appear only when the supernatural Dead Tide rises.
But the crew isn't the only group looking for it.
Enter Captain Mara Vex.
Mara wants the map, and she isn't interested in taking "no" for an answer. A pirate battle erupts, Mara's first mate ends up dead, and the crew escapes aboard The Poseidon's Eye.
Unfortunately, Mara follows them across the Great Sea.
The map has been stolen.
The pirates are angry.
Mara Vex wants revenge.
And the race to Gravewind Island has begun!
And the adventure isn't over! We're continuing the story with a special Rapscallion one-shot played on International Talk Like a Pirate Day!
