Slade- Yeah your men are pretty much with you. You dont find much treasure, mostly corpses (thankfully, just normaly dead corpses) The ship is English, and as you explore you find that not everyone was killed outright. In the captain's log the mortally wounded officer has written a cryptic final entry:
"They took the survivors... St. Kitts... Cant say just where... God let them be rescued from these... hell spawned..." The captain's corpse lays near to the book, and once again the ship is full of water on the lower decks, and all of your intuition and nautical lore tells you it should have sunk by now.
Spoon- The enemy captain is pretty pissed and while your crew take prisoner the last of his men, you and your officers surround him. Even as injured as he is he's still determined to go down fighting.
"Arrrr ye'll no challenge me one on one, ye cur!"
He cries, wielding his blade. The crew yell for him to stop his rum addled taunts before he gets himself and, more importantly, them killed, but he'll have none of it and jabs at your stomach. You're able to dodge and now you can either fight him or just have someone off the twit.
Barend- The crew gasps because you're so dastardly, and the captain steels himself, determined to die for his god and country and all that. The lieutenant has no such illusions.
"Well sir ye see..."
He starts before being interupted by a spasm of struggling and growling from the captain. The lieutenant finally composes himself, knowing his life is at stake- He never showed me none sir! But his leg, tis hollow! That's why he be lookin for it... I figure its on deck somewhere... What's in there I dunna know but it must be valuable.
Orator- Ok, you're fare enough along to go in and rescue Bond, but Sime hasnt even gotten to do the whole villain thing yet, so I'm going to slow you up a bit with a sidequest. As you're heading North you notice a heavily damaged ship floating along in your path. They fly a mangled French flag and seem to be heading directly for you, although there's no one at the helm. What do you want to do?
Ninja Duck and Cobnat- Ok, your ship is going to sail towards Aruba in search of some Spanish silver that's rumored to be shipping in those waters. Cobnat, you've got the mess hall and Ninja Duck, you'll have the helm. Cobnat is going to have to make some kind of food and as for you, you'll need to keep the ship on course through a hell of a storm. The damned thing is tossing and turning and the wheel jerks with every wave as the wind driven rain stings your face, each drop like a needle.

-And yeah, he boots you in the chest and back into the hole you go. You did technically pass your dodge roll, but you had penalties for being tied up. And besides, you forgot to take the map when you crawled out. You're pretty hurt now after all the stuff from the battles, bleeding from a good many wounds and covered in bruises, but the good news is you've shattered the human bones under you enough that some of them are now sharp and can be used to cut your bonds. The rope has already been drawn up by the time you gather yourself.

Well, as I like to say, an enemy of Spain is a friend of England, so I order my crew to do whatever ships do to signal that we are willing to help them. With of course the added reminder that no one at the helm could mean deceit and trickery on the part of anyone from the Spanish to Pirates to some particularly wily Dutch, or maybe even a very dumb Frenchman, and as such it is best to keep on one's toes. I continue to write in my log and snack on a tangerine.

Hey, you said it wasn't a map!
Erm... anyway, being stout of heart and hearty of timber, I gather meself up, only to come face to face with a frightening figure...
I think you know who.
Edit: For someone who abuses emoticons in his every post and should be very practiced at them, that was a pretty glaring mistake. You know we don't have an angry, only an angry2.

"Oh, you poor, poor deluded soul. You're blind adherence to false idols has lead you far astray, to think you believed you could harm the glorious Society of Jesus. But fear not, for the most glorious Pope seeks to redeem all sinners. The impurities will be bled from you, and you will once again see the light of heavens".
I order the guards to manacle him, upside down, to the wall. He will then be given four shallow cuts in each shoulder to allow the blood to drip to the ground.
The compound is to remain heavily guarded, with extra watches posted. I also want all available ships manned, though they are to act as they usually would. I don't want observers to know that we are ready to spring to the offensive.

Bond- Nay. I said it wasnt a map to Barend, which is what you asked. And yeah, you sure do see Sime. You're fooked now, matey.
Sime- Your guards pretty much handle him, I'm not really going to roll at all since letting him try to escape would just guarantee doom until the Royal Navy arrives. Your guards redouble their efforts and march around outside your window all 'Oweeeoh, weeoooohoooh!" and stuff. Let me roll to see if you get wind of any of the pertinent happenings recently: Nope. For once the Jesuit spy networks have failed. Someone is going to be harmed for this.
