Was tryin to do some merchant quests with reapers mark today to get the commendation for doing 30 with it up. I was going solo cause it was early and not really anyone on and a random would probably slow me down. I typically never sail alone and with a big target on my head on top of that haha. But I had done two no problem. Saw a few brigantines but they left me be.
Then i saw another sloop steering straight to me as i approached an island with my pig on board and still needing a snake at snake island. I yelled I was friendly but he proceeded to shoot and hit my piggy. He was a trooper tho so I carried the wounded ham below for safety and ducked inbetween snake islands main land and side island. Then the damn skelly on the island hit me a few. I am repairing and trying not to run into anything. The sloop wheeled around for another run on me. He had a default ship and his turning/aiming wasnt too tight so I knew he was probably a lesser pirate. But with my piggy hurt and my ship damaged it was all I could do to keep things afloat. He zipped off and I thought I was safe. I came back around the island and there he was circling right at me.
That's when I got a message from @stacky-a asking if I had room for another pirate. HECK YA I DID! I set the ship on a straight clear path and hopped off the back to board him. The skelly on the island gave me another hole but I knew help was on the way. This was my chance. I got on and shot the guy. He had a full set of the black admiral suit with the gold sash from hip to shoulder. He pulled his sword but I ran him through. Luckily, there was a nearby rock formation and I ping ponged his ship into it. He came back and I dispatched him easily. Stacky came on and didnt know what was going on but instinctively rescued the ship and fed the piggy. She got back on course to snake island and I killed the fiend a third time as he spawned above his sunken ship. I mermaided back and all was well... Then meg bit us and we flew off the ship together as the boat sped on with several holes in the back! lol but we were able to get back in time and repair. Mr pig was safely returned to the merchant as well with his new snake friend. Snakes are misunderstood you know?
Thanks Stacky! Without you, that mission would have been a bust and the fool pirate would have gotten away with it instead of having to rage quit as he never showed up again to find our reapers mark.
forgot to mention stacky is Austrailian so that's the title haha
