"The Bepoisoned Orphans!"
When the crew of The British Tar visited Sister Mary Albright's orphanage, they encountered a sorry sight: dozens of bepoisoned orphans. Who could cause such menace?
Before they had a chance to do anything but roll for initiative, they were attacked -- by ninjas most foul! Ninja upon ninja attacked our group of shipping merchants/light pirates, confusing them with their ninjacrobatic attacks, smoke bombs, and shrieks of "Banzai!"
The ninjas attack!!!
Confounding the problem was when bepoisoned orphans ran into the combat, but Ras T. Farr discovered they could be easily jumped over. The ninjas, led by a level 4 "Boss Ninja" named Daimyo, were eventually vanquished, but not before one delivered a near-killing blow to Sid Vicious ("Yarr! I hurt meself worse shavin' every mornin'!").
Sid Vicious, "Oi! Oi!"
The group discovered a note on Daimyo that revealed the source behind the orphan poisonage: the environmentally unsound training practices of Sid's arch-enemy, the Double-handed Mongolian, had contaminated the orphans' well. Treachery MOST foul!!!!
Ras T. Farr, ending sentences with "mon" since 1756
After Ras T. Farr bought a parrot, the buccaneers raced to the port to depart for Barbados, to deliver coffee beans to the merchant prince Chartreusebeard, and encountered along the way the Most Sir High Lord Peter James Bond, Ras T. Farr's childhood bully, who mocked the crew for the meagerness of their ship. Count Morgan insulted him back, and caught the eye of Mabel, his cousin, who gave him her monogrammed 'kerchief.

After a few meaningless rolls on a non-existent random encounter table, the ship arrived in Barbados. The party sold Chartreusebeard the coffee and learned from him that Black Velma, the sea witch, was living nearby on Prickly Pear Island. C-beard gave them a compass to find her and a bejeweled conch-shell. He also gave them the warning that she was held captive by some fiend they must slay!
Scallywag, a realistic role-model for all the girls out there
Ignoring the rumor they'd heard that the Sea Witch had a new boyfriend, the party landed on her island, snuck up to her cave, and shot an unsuspecting centipede creature in the back. Then a mighty battle ensued with the centipede's brothers and father, an enormous monster with a Tougness save of +11 named George Cauldron. After slaughtering the monsters, they learned that they were - in fact - the Sea Witch's husband and children, and that C-beard was a jealous ex-boyfriend. However, the gift of the bejeweled conch shell helped the Sea Witch forgive and forget, and she gave them an indigo-based recipe to cure the orphans.
