Last night I had set sail to defeat Ol' Briggsy for the fifth and final time to get my cursed reward. I still shake my head at the memory.
Starting off my journey went smoothly, I gained Briggsy's Key and Chest and began making my way back to Plunder Outpost.
However my docking at Plunder Outpost would not be so pleasant, there was a galleon docked there before me. I retrieved my speaking trumpet and greeted them and they in turn greeted me with a "WE'RE FRIENDLY".
Content I began docking my ship and making my way to the Order of Souls tent but on my way one of the other crew blew me away with his blunderbuss from behind. I can't say I was all to pleased.
As I returned from the Ferry to my ship I saw that they had lifted my anchor and dropped my sails and I was heading away from the Outpost, definitely a mistake on their part. I immediately turned around and sailed back.
I looked through my spyglass and managed to see the three of them running into the Order of Souls tent, one with my chest even, and so I slowed myself down until their galleon was in my cannon range. I asked them to just hand over my pieces and we could part ways but all they responded with were curses and slurs. So I rained iron onto their galleon, aiming at the lowest part of their ship.
It was quickly sunk and the two pirates that tried to board me were defeated by a blunderbuss shot to the face as they climbed the ladders of my ship. The last pirate (who had been holding my chest) ran down the docks shouting curses at me through his speaking trumpet as he ran for his mermaid.
After the galleon had sank I checked the Order of Souls tent and found my chest empty, they must have hid the pieces. I was heartbroken that all my work had been for naught but I remembered that the pieces glowed at a distance. So I ran back to my ship and took a look around with my spyglass and managed to find the pieces in some bushes nearby.
The rest of my final grind of the tale went without a hitch and I am now the proud owner of the kraken ink curse.
