So yesterday a couple of friends and me were sailing the seas in search of nothing in particular. A fort shows up and we decide to head over there to complete it.
Once it was close enough I notice a small sloop. We approach the island and offer alliance to whomever was on that sloop. A solo player was attempting to complete the fort, we didn't fire on him nor did he fire on us, thus the alliance was formed.
He asked us " You are not trying to complete the fort then betray me and take everything are you?" We responded with a NO even though one of our guys wanted to take him out after completion of the fort and as a sort of "mercy" on him not disband the alliance so he could get some of the loot. I obviously not being the mean pirate others are, just wanted to give him half of the treasure and offered to give him the bone chest and skull and we keep the barrell and spice crate, but this was only a suggestion of what would happen once completed. Anyways we started working towards completing the fort, not knowing the storm that was about to embellish us.
So after a few waves of skeletons we notice a ghost ship aproaching as well as a storm. One of our guys decided to fire on the ghost ship so it would attack us and the sloop and that way giving us an excuse to let his ship sink or just create enough chaos to get rid of him, and yes it was the same guy that did not want to share the loot with him.
After some confusion and some canonballs to our ship, one of our guys goes to repair our brigantine and as he is attempting to patch he gets gunned down by the guy in the sloop. I guess he had the same idea perhaps? But obviously it didn't end well for him, our other crewmate takes him out and I sink his ship. We naturally disband the alliance, and end of story or so we believed.
We finish the fort, load up the treasure and sail towards the outpost which is the very next island next to us. As we approach and are preparing to unload and sell the items the Kraken shows up and another storm! we laugh kinda knowing this was expected as he never shows up when we have nothing.
Except this Kraken was so agresive so unrelenting, we have never gone up such a devastating Kraken, we couldn't even toss the water out of our ship due to the constant hits shaking our ship and the grasp he had on us.
He also absorbed all 3 of us at the same time, so we basically had no chance and no rowboat...
We died one after the other. We finally re-spawned fairly close to the Kraken and the storm and hoped that if we hurry back we might be able to save some of the loot.
As we are nearing the chaos, the storm starts to move away and the Kraken dives back down to the depths. We cheer and gasp in awe since all our treasure is still there floating, some of it sinking but we manage to save it.
Sooo after the task of attempting to load our treasure we all of a sudden get migrated to another server!!
We thought oh no! we lost our loot that was not loaded. But no worries the treasure was also migrated and floating in the water.
But guess what? A Kraken also spawns and this time he was twice as mean, he sunk us immediately, no chance of repair, no chance at nothing, not a single canon fired off due to him hitting our ship the second he showed up and absorbing 2 our crew as well. All this within the first few seconds of him showing up.
We lost hope as well as our lives and our ship. We re-spawned close enough again, we decide to go back just for the sake of it since the Kraken was within view, as we approach he leaves again.
So we manage to see our loot and to our surprise the Spice chest and the expensive barrel were the only things left.
Oddly enough it was the only two things I initially said we would take. We eerily joked this was the sloop that cursed us due to the back stabbing one of us suggested on him before we even began XD.
