It wasn't obvious at first, the years of privateering had been profitable enough that the money quelled worries of the immediate future, but her brightness had dimmed a little. After a few months lazing around in port, and you guys had to go back to being regular old fashioned pirates again, but this time around your Captain was a little different. Her normal somewhat lackadaisical way of leading grew more and more controlling, demanding, and strict. What's more, her standards for what constituted a good target lowered. Man o' War's and Frigates gave way to Sloops and Ketches. Every rumour of treasure, no matter how tenuous or believable was chased and followed to it's end. Rarely was it worth it.
The smart ones bailed early, leaving with nary a word whenever you reached a port again, but (You) stayed either out of loyalty or having nowhere else to go. Before long, it was down to a meagre skeleton crew and Marine only got worse. It was sad, watching the once cheerful woman grow so pathetically desperate for no good reason. But, one day, a rumour of treasure caught her ear in some backwater tavern that turned out to be real. Terrifyingly real.
The tiny island is not on any map, and the chest on it is surrounded by skeletons. Against everyone's better judgment, it's brought aboard. Marine locks it up in the hold, but it's obvious this is the last straw for everyone else. What remains of the crew takes the life rafts and leave in the night without you.
When you awake, the ship is different. It was never this big inside, and the layout is...wrong. Marine's somewhere in the ship, but she's worse than ever, brandishing a pistol and promising 'punishment' for your mutiny. Can you find the treasure and toss it overboard? Will that even do anything? What will happen if Marine gets her hands on (You)?
