-4 Relationship with Tinima Cambiante
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
Ship Owner: Acquire one ship to launch your fleet.
Tinima groans and hides her face in her hands, but the old woman laughs. "I like your style, kid," she says. "You got a name?"
"Captain Spack Jarrow," you say.
"Granny O'Malley," she answers. "I'll let you captain my ship for a bit. So long as you don't make me mad. Don't think I won't toss you at the first opportunity if I think you're treating her wrong."
"I've no doubts you'd try," you say, showing teeth.
The ghost laughs and fades, and the dusty atmosphere fades with her. The ship looks beautiful, better cared for than most ships with a living crew.
"Let's take her out," you say to your small crew. "Hoist the sails and let's see what she can do!"
As soon as the mainsail is down, Tinima summons a soft wind to take her out, and you spend an hour at sea that could almost be a pleasure cruise. And you've still got time to make the auction. You won't officially own the Sea Queen until you tell Carolina de la Playa the good news about your haunted ship.
quote:
The auction is scheduled for two bells, a few hours after de la Playa left you, and you hear some buzz around San Alfonso as the time nears. A crowd gathers near the harbormaster's office, including several members of your crew and some faces you recognize from the Lobo Negro. Anne Read is there, looking as fabulous and wealthy as her reputation. The newcomer you noticed at the Lobo Negro last night approaches you from the crowd. He holds out his hand for you to shake, making a show of not having any weapons available. You suspect he's got at least one dagger in his vest, and that peace knot on his sword looks more decorative than functional. There's something that seems just a little off about him; he doesn't quite fit in here in San Alfonso. But then, San Alfonso gets all kinds.
"Joaquin de Aviles," he says, introducing himself. "They say you're the man to know if I want inside knowledge about this auction."
Caesar gives you a look requesting permission to rid yourselves of this suspiciously cheerful newcomer, but you shake your head. No need to be rude. Yet.
"Depends on what you want to know," you say.
"I understand there's going to be a duel," he says lightly. "Is that how things are normally done around here?"
1. "Sometimes."
2. "Not usually. We're not all that bloodthirsty."
3. "What better way to solve a quarrel?"

3. "What better way to solve a quarrel?"
quote:
You give a non-committal response, but Joaquin smiles at you anyway, his eyes searching your face for some additional clue.
In truth, sometimes there's a duel. Sometimes there's just the gold on the table. And sometimes Carolina de la Playa has actually accepted bids in open negotiation, rather than make a spectacle. You wonder if the public auction is for your benefit or detriment. Or if it has nothing to do with you at all.
"But today, there will be a duel," Joaquin presses.
"Only if the crowd is very lucky," Caesar murmurs. "It is possible to handle these things in a civilized manner."
Joaquin's grin is wolfish, and you wonder how a newcomer to San Alfonso has already learned how to make a show of restraining violence. "I should certainly hope so," he says.
Even though you're already the proud captain of the Sea Queen, the auction will be worth watching — and might even provide additional business opportunities, if you decide to take them.
quote:
The crowd is most excited about the auction of the Bella Niña, in part because Anne Read is making a bid for it. Do you want to make a try for the Bella Niña?
1. No. I'll wait for the auction for the next ship.
2. Yes, I'll make a try and counter-bid against Anne.
3. I just want to find de la Playa and set sail.

Yes, you can buy multiple ships (both now and at various later points in this game) and also capture other ships and rope them into your fleet.

Im hoping to max out both our Ruthless and our Goodwill so we can be the kind of Captain that other pirates talk about with equal parts fear and admiration.
"What, Spack Jarrow? Well that's a pirate's pirate, right enough. Cares about the crew enough to set up the Pirates Widow & Orphan Foundation what feeds all the orphans and widows. Course that's cause Captain Jarrow takes no prisoners, and so's always making more."
