The music echoing over the ship know as „Golden Pearl“ mixes with the loud laughter of the crew. The day had been great for the pirates. They had surprised a transport ship and gotten quite the reward for it. Meat and fruits on golden plates are scattered over the table.

The captain, Jack Blackwood, sat in his chair, looking as happy as one can get. Everything went smoothly and barely anyone got injured. The golden compass he took with him sparkled in the dim light of the lanterns. Nothing could go wrong it seemed.
