We creep closer to the moored pirate ship. All seems quiet, a few dull lights are shining on deck. The full moon shimmering on the inky black water is a bit of a problem but it can't be helped now.
"I want you on those rocks over there, you are overwatch. Be on the lookout for any pirates that might be returning to the ship, I don't want to be taken by surprise."
"Right lad."
The first bit of luck hits me as I see the ship is tied to a walkway and there is only one guard on duty. I sneak up behind him and I strike him on the neck! I catch him on his collar just as he is about to fall into the water. I hide his body in some old nearby crates.
"Come along but quietly now"
We sneak aboard the ship...no one has spotted us yet. Ah- That should be the door that leads down into the ship. We slip in but strangely we find no one in their quarters. I hear a large amount of noise common down the passage. This is must be the main gathering place for the crew.
"Wait here." and I inch the door slowly open...I am met by a sight that leaves me speechless...
