Ship Information:
It's sinking!

The ship is a panic. Canons are falling all over the place, cannon balls all piled on the sea side. In a few moments, it'll all be under the sea.

Using your cutlass, some climbing skill, and your will to live, you make to the high side. Above, it is dry and you are alone. You can see the rammed vessel slightly damaged; ramming a Man-Of-War is no easy feet. Dead marines are cast over the side like sewage. In the water, dead men mix with live, and the crew screams to aid. You spot the dingy a ways away, being rowed by none other than.. Michael?

You dive into the water, and climb aboard. You get a faceful of oar on the way, and he struggles to keep you out.

"You idiot! You'll tip the boat! Oh how I wished we left you in Port Royale.."

Slightly battered, you make it onto the boat. Michael is rowing towards the ship.

"When I saw what was going on, I was the first to jump in the sea. I had barely made it to the dingy when I saw James die."

He tosses a grappling hook and catches the rigging of the Spanish vessel. It's still struggling to set sail, most of the Spanish pirates laughing at the dying British. Michael tosses his uniform in the sea.

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Michael grins, as he shimmys up the rope.

"Wait, my boy. I can't swim.."

Captain Towns is struggling to keep his head above water. You do help him on the dingy, or shimmy after Michael? There's no way he'll make it up the rope..

You pull Old Captain Towns onto the dingy. Michael cuts the rope and soon the merchant vessel is out of view.

More men are pulled aboard; no marines. Their lifeless bodys hang in the water. Just close enough for you to..

Grab a Marine's sword
Grab a wet pistol
Grab a pocketwatch
Say a prayer

Saying a prayer, the sea's current picks up. Giant waves scare you something serious; especially in this leaky dingy! Captain Towns mans the oars himself, not trusting you to the duty, but finds himself tired. He collapses on the boat, leaving the oars to you.

An hour passes.

Night has fallen and the sea calms. There's a far off light in the distance, what appears to be a woman sitting on the rocks, and a ship anchored closely. You reason they're all about the same distance away, except for the light. What do you do?

You row for the woman. In a few minutes, you're drifting right by her. She hops into the water and looks at you, waist up.

Soon you realize why. The dingy slides along the reef, and beaches itself. Captain Towns is still unconscious.

The woman looks at you curiously. Seashells and strips of leather barely contain her decency. Red, sleek hair falls down to reveal green eyes when the lighthouse comes by. She is looking intently, staring. Captain Towns shifts in his sleep. At least you know he's not dead.

Do you talk to her?

She says something in a language you don't understand, and comes closer. She seems particularly interested in Captain Towns. Still waist up.. you wonder if she's standing on the reef.

What now?
