Head below deck for a powder keg

From Create Your Own Story

You struggle to carry the heavy barrel of powder above deck, yet you get help from one Crew Mate. Together, you two bring the Powder Keg up. You set it near where the enemy would ram into you. "I have a feeling they'll be rammin' us," you explain.

Your prediction proves correct; they are not slowing down at all. You light the powder keg, and run. Much of your crew runs as well, but a few stay behind. Some enemy pirates are already jumping decks when the keg blows, killing 5 enemy pirates—and 3 of yours; Lose 3 Crew Mates.

Having no choice, you Stay above deck and fight.
