The next day...

From Create Your Own Story

As high tide approaches, you gather your crew around for a meeting.

"We leave at high tide," you announce. "First Mate Raquel has told me about a deserted island where a pirate captain of yore has buried a chest full of gold and jewels. She has an old map leading to the treasure. Second Mate Rodrigo knows of a port city where after we dig up the gold, we can spend it on rum and women. We will go dig up the gold..."

You look at the tide, which seems to be reaching its height.

"...NOW! Move, ye scurvy dogs! Arrr!"

2 hours later, you are headed towards the island with the gold, when another ship approaches yours. The captain and the crew seem to all be comely lasses. As the ship gets to within 50 yards of your own, it begins sailing parallel to you. The captain gestures and as you look up, she shouts to make herself heard.

"We have a copy of the same map, ye dog!" comes the captain's voice. "The treasure is ours!"

Rodrigo and Raquel flank you as you yell back...

"Not a chance, Captain! We'll kill all your crew and take it from your dead bodies even if you beat us there!"

"My men will let your crew live and give you part of the treasure if your crew give up their comely bodies."

"We're coming aboard what you thought was your ship right now and making slaves of you all."

"We'll beat you to the island. When you get there, the treasure will be long gone!"
