You organize your men from the line and pick up your melee weapons- mostly axes and some harpoons, and then order the charge.
The enemy pirates, huddled into cover on their ships, and unprepared for the onslaught and can't pick at you from the safety of cover. It seems that <span class="mu-i">charging in</span> to overwhelm defenders is a winning move. However, you aren't free from losses in the process. Several shots are fired at you from cover, mostly pistols, and many enemy pirates have swords which are quite formidable. Not only that, but you are still outnumbered. Still, you manage to clean up the remaining pirates on the deck, while their captain and remaining crew huddle underneath in their hold, barricading the coral doors.
Before you can make another move, Bones stops you.
<span class="mu-b">"Captain... We can't breach into their cargo hold. There's no way we can get inside."</span>
<span class="mu-r">"What do you mean? We have the tools, we have the advantage!"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"Captain... we have no pistols, no grenades or stinkpots. No methods to oust them. We need to take this advantage now to retreat from the ship. We can make it to port now before we lost too many crewmates. One was shot when we formed a line, and two more were killed in the charge..."</span>
As much as you want to defeat the pirates totally for what they did to you, you realize Bones might be right. It might be too dangerous to invade into the enemy ship's bowels. Instead, you could take this time to get away...
>Charge the hold anyway (random chance)
>Steal everything on their deck and run
>Arm cannons and blow open a hole into their hold
