(Dont see enough Tavern tales, I hope more players post there own more often)
Typical sailing day for a pirate like myself. See no reason to do any world events, Season is done, and most commendations of the new season have been completed. So the next best thing is...what past stuff have I not finished?
I got time...like 6 hours. No reason to care about cargo, resources, or flag. So we set sail forward. What have I not finished? Oh apparently some of the Reaper chests...Open them on Forts, Shrines, etc. First thing first, do a Reaper Voyage to get a Reaper Bones chest, get the Mark and "Pray" nobody bothers you.
Do the simple method, Plunder Outpost, Voyage always goes toward Snake Island, and nearby is FotD and Shrine. Perfect...
While on the island and halfway done, hear cannon shots. Over by Reapers Hideout is couple sloops duking it out..One happens to have the Guild Flag up, so they are marked on the map.
After getting the chest, head over to the FotD and open it, Whoo! only 3 left. Meh, to lazy to sell..Leave it.
Head back to Snake Island with new voyage, Oh what Luck. The Guild ship heads over to FotD and picks up the chest... and quickly heads over to Reapers Hideout. (Good because I cant open new one until its sold. Saves me time)
Heading over to nearby Shrine/Treasury, just few from Reapers Hideout. Dive with Chest..oh man forgot how long it takes.
Time I reach the inside, Oh good..I can open it.
While in the Treasury...You know I never finished poisoning the ocean crawlers, I'm 10 short. Let do that next!
1...2....6...8.. Going well but you get that feeling...My ship is sunk (can hear cannon shots moments before) Oh well. Next I....die. But oddly it due to Kegs, I swear I didnt touch them. Respawn, Ahh..a Pirate, most likely the crew with Guild Flag. Too bored to care and focus on Ocean Crawlers. They trident me, try to hide, etc. Dont care.
9...One more to go.
Died. Oh they got me, I say They because now its Two pirates. Respawn, both are in the arena and waiting. Odd they dont spawn kill me but lucky enough I pop in and avoid, force them to fight the mermaids and swim around like a dying fish. Water drains, Ocean crawlers. I need one more...10! Commendation unlocked and just as it finished, Dead by Sword. Oh well Im done here.
Respawn...they are still inside. Well...I know if I take the statue, I respawn at ship. OR...swim.
I exit and swam up...up...up. There a ship, Not mine and...they have a Cannon rowboat. Proceed to use said rowboat and damage there own ship with the limited shots I had. Mast down, 9 holes and its Burning. Oh they figured it out faster than I knew it. No ammo, so proceed to...Row away..
Make to some small island, and mermaid away. Between that time, they fixed mast and sailed my direction looking for me? Meh.
(There more!?)
Spawn at Ancient Spire, sail toward random direction...Oh here comes that Guild Ship. hmmm.....You know what, let play.
Dock at Skeleton Camp, drop anchor. Lower Gate and drop the lift but dont go down. Hide.
Sure enough, they arrive and not missing a beat, attack my ship, sink and found I had "Gone down" and proceed to go down as well....
Sneaky sneaky...board ship while second pirate waited on board and Hung off the side of the ship. Im going for a ride...
Well they seen the new Flameheart...Fort thing had spawned and headed that way. Meanwhile, Random player joined my crew told him where I was and, no response.
Arrived at the Fort. They allied up with the ship that was already there (Kids get special treatment?) while I hung off the side of the ship...waiting...
Another ship arrives, they do battle. Cool, use that moment to Harpoon myself up to the Forts Tower. (Hidden Spring Keep, everyone should know this) Only way up is Cannon or Harpoon. Hide up there...Why? Bored and wanted free commendation unlock.
Meanwhile, apparently My own ship went to the Fortress behind the Fort. All this goes on, the Guild ship sank the other ship and...at this moment they knew there were Tuckers. How come? Because I spoke up, "What up" "Hows it going" "Ooooo!" "Your ships on fire"
My crewmate leaves, Ship remain at Fortress. As they ran around the fort looking for me, The Guild crew told this random kid...not to finish the Fort until they found me. "If I wanted it, I should fight for it" Meh.
They also proceeded to sail away...to Sink my ship. "Were gonna go sink your ship!" dont even care...Scuttled it.
45min...of me in a Tower them looking for me. At this moment, Ive had time to make a Sandwich, check emails and even switch tvs to watch the news. They would not allow the poor kid to finish the fort...until i was found, they even tried Hiding themselves.
"We will just out wait him" xD sure...I got time. Another 20min, Finally the big break. Brig appears. I can hear the Guild crew getting upset so they quickly finish the fort, as I warn them "Brig! to the East!" and after a quick Sink for the Guild crew...I told the Brig crew Im just here for the Commendation. They unlocked the Door, and Off I went.
Moral: Dont waste your own time, waiting on someone else. Especially when dealing with a bored...lazy..pirate.
Also....never encountered a crew who didnt know about the Throne up there. I wasn't even really tucking. Just sitting.
Alright, Im done.
