So I was hoping to complete 5 voyages while flying the new reaper mark flag just to earn some extra Doubloons (I'll do a total of 30, 25 more later...), and I was sailing solo. Pretty gutsy, but I was determined to get them done.
I was completing my 4th one, and I was doing some gold hoarders. I had 1 island left to go to, to Discovery Ridge, but there was a bit of a set back, another ship was there. So I waited at a nearby fort and watched the ship carefully.
After awhile, I saw the ship take off. I could get this voyage done...but I was flying the reaper mark...the ship knew my location and were heading straight for me.
Funny thing, I didn't have much on my ship, just 2 chest I found extra (seafarers and mauraders). I could tell what kind of guys these people were going to be already, so I threw my loot of the boat and semi hide it (not really well...they were coming in hot, so I just threw them somewhere semi hidden...), scuttled my ship (gotta try again later to complete a voyage flying reaper mark...), and hid.
No sooner when I did that, the ship just got there and I watched a person looking around where my ship just sank. "You're not finding nothing" I thought. I didn't stick around long where I was at, so I went to a watch tower.
I climbed up, and at the top of the ladder, just inside the tower, a gunpowdered barrel was there. I sat down and waited to see if this person would leave, but he either heard me swim to the tower or spotted me while climbing cause I saw him coming right for me.
"Gees, buddy!" I thought, "didn't get to sink my ship so you want to kill me. Alright, have it your way." I pulled my gun out and pointed it right at the gunpowdered barrel. I heard the guy climb the ladder. Just as he got to the top, I shot, and KABOOM!!! We both died.
On the ferry, I can hear this guy cursing out words, complaining about how unfair I was, how I cheated...and so on. I just smiled knowing I ruined his fun. Go sink someone else if that's what you like to do, but not me. I'm gonna stop your excitement.
Afterwards, I completed the rest of the 5 voyages flying the reaper mark. Now I need to do 25 more, but that's for a later day...
