Skeleton Bounties Dead or Alive.

Order of souls bounties could change.
Dead = Order of Souls
Alive = Reapers Hideout

When you fight and defeat a skeleton target, instead of dying and becoming a skull they will instead take a knee and surrender.

You can do one of three things.

1. Leave them. They will eventually get back up and start fighting you again so you must be quick and do either Option 2 or 3! I suppose if you wanna spar i suppose you can keep letting it get back up and fight you over and over, Would be fun on your ship i suppose (more later).

2. Execute them. Basically hit them once more they become a skull for you to turn in (Just like now)

3. Capture them! The order of souls pays for the skulls of slain skeletons. However the reapers hideout is paying for live skeletons. Tie the skeleton up and drag him along with you once he is surrendering. He will follow you to your ship climbing the ladder and once you get near the prison cell in your ship, interact with the lock to place him inside. When outside the prison cell he is tethered to you by a rope. If this rope is severed in any way either by you, another player or another skeleton then the captured skelly is free and will attack. You must then defeat him again and force him to take a knee again before you can restart the capture of him.

You can get him out of his prison cell by interacting with the lock again. He is basically walking cargo. You can only lead one skelly at a time and speak to the reapers lady to turn him in. Same goes for any skeleton prisoners you see on other ships! Liberate them and turn them in yourself or let them loose on their captor’s ship and watch them give the crew trouble! They will be hostile like any other skeleton though so watch out!

Be careful about other skeletons on land too...
If a player or another skeleton slashes the rope tethering you to the skeleton the skeleton is technically free and will begin to attack again.
Be careful to also not cut the rope yourself by accident....or cut the rope deliberately whilst on an enemy ship :)

Skeleton Lords will now be a bounty for Pirate Legends.
A very tough battle but very lucrative reward, or a disaster waiting to happen if let loose on a ship!

Now i can feel some in the community going (Oh no thats slavery! )
Its a skeleton. Its also a criminal. You are effectively turning them in for crimes against the settlers on outposts. So relax, its definitely not slavery. They’re actually not keeping the skeletons alive, they’re turning them into crates of bone dust, so its all good. Well, not good if you are a skeleton but hey ho! 😂

This will give use for the useless prison cell on the sloop and will save the developers from having to redesign the whole interior of the ship.
