Since Space Jawa was successful, I don't think he could lose 15 crewmembers.

Eh, that be expected losses. So I had a higher than expected losses. I also got 50 thousand pieces of eight.

Do ye really think I'm going to complain?

Ouch. Guess I don't have to worry about giving the girl back as I never got her.

Actually, Antipathy is correct about Space Jawa's losses--I rolled the wrong die for that one. I've corrected the error--he only loses six guys.

I'm doing this mission.

I forgot to add:

Deadline for posting is Noon Easter tomorrow.

Yar! I be prepared to push my luck on thees one. I be feelin' lucky!

Hit me with those skeletons! Yo Ho! Yo Ho!

I need some LUCK!


Swift-Mouth Lee, I will beat you there you SCALLIWAG!

Yeah, I could use some more crew, but really, what kind of crew am I going to be able to recruit coming back short-handed and broke?

Let's swindle the sap before we go home

All or nothing with the re-animated skeletons. Luckily, Jason of Argonaut fame taught me how to take them.

Wow, one guy tries to push his luck by going for the big prize twice, and suddenly the most difficult task is all the sudden the most popular.

I feel like such a trendsetter now. I'm so proud of myself. ^_^

ROUND 2 RESULTS:

Redheart (Antipathy) is successful in his attempt to kidnap and ransom the rich merchant. He loses 4 more crew, but nets 13,000 p8.

Swift Mouth Lee's (Space Jawa) incredible luck continues, as he hacks through the re-animated skeletons at the cost of 6 men, but comes away with the ruby!!! He gains another 50,000 p8.

But poor Manchine loses 18 men trying to hack through those darn skeletons, only to fail.

The Dread Pirate Cumberbund (Grinner) swindles a navy officer out of some loot, losing 3 crew but gaining 11,000 p8

Finally, Redbeard the Pirate (TAK) also makes a go for a priceless ruby. He fails, losing another 15 men.
