In the sheltered cays of the Bahamas lies a small pirate cove on a coral island. Right now it is the home of one 'Shark Tooth' von Hockenmeyer, an ageing Dutch pirate who has recently struck it big, plundering a spanish trasure galleon. His ship, the 'Puckenwizzle', is anchored off shore while his crew squander their hard earned loot in the cay's dens of iniquity. The scenario is for a number of players. One being Hockenmeyer, one the pirate police of the cay, and the rest being interloping thieves. The cays normal inhabitants will act as random interaction. Some will hurt, some will help, and some will just make the most of the situation.
Hockenmeyer is currently enjoying some well earned carousing, after a long and perilous battle with a Spanish treasure galleon. He is not expecting trouble of any kind and his men are spread across the cay doing what they can with what treasure may remain unspent.
The Puckenwizzle's crew
The raiders consist of a number of shady characters intent on making some easy money by stealing Hockenmeyer's treasure. It may also consist of some Spaniards intent on returning the loot to the empire. They have not conceived that the villagers may already have a fair share of the loot.
The cove is a small settlement of ex pirates and entrepreneurs keen on fleecing the pirates of their money in creative ways. It also acts as a base for pirate operations and resupply, and a pleasant careening beech. Hockenmeyer's men have already spent some of their loot, and the villagers are looking to ensure they spend the rest. Once battle is joined, they will make the most of the situation and attempt to loot what they can from the bodies. The pirate police will only attempt to stop battle. They have no looting intentions.
The village contains several huts & buildings and places of interest.
A wooden fort overlooks part of the cay and is manned by a number of pirates. They act also as the local police force, maintaining some sense of order on the island. The fort has a commanding view of the cay and village. It is crewed by 20 pirates led by Angus McRoodle the Scottish ex pirate, and has 4x12lb cannons in its ramparts.
