A classic addition in every discerning pirates arsenal is a ‘stinkpot’
Chemical bombs used to cause a cloud of foul smelling odour, confusion and disarray.
Pirates search and collect various ingredients for these stinkpot recipes like bone dust, mushrooms, bananas, chicken blood.
Maybe, sacrifice skulls, chest of gold to make some recipes...
Then give collected ingredients to the Shaman/Witch doctor or Order of Souls to brew the stinkpots. Maybe wait a couple days ... Then you can go back and buy those limited created stinkpot bombs from them. You’ll need more ingredients to make more stinkpots.
Maybe learn new recipes from tasks and challenges and lucky finds...
Maybe, you could brew your own, and in a hideout ...
