## Plot Summary

The job should seemed easy.

A ship, *The Revenge,* needed guards on a voyage from Niqamui to Jishoap and what better job for some fledgling adventurers from the Firebreathing Kittens Guild. Lothario, Graveyard and Rufus boarded the ship and set out on the voyage. Immediately upon setting sail the group meets Atticus Birch, an older human sailor that knows Graveyard from a time when the old human's ship was stolen. They also meet Charlotte White, a ram horned woman with a no nonsense outlook on life.

As the ship cut through the water, it seemed like the trip was going to go off without a hitch. However, soon the adventurers found themselves with a choice sail near an island or head towards a storm. Wanting to avoid the weather they sailed near the island, unfortunately a thick copse of trees hid a surprise. Avast! Pirates! *The Revenge* soon was boarded and a fight broke out amongst the two ships. Atticus fell first, his body plunging to the depths. The adventurers were soon to follow, the pirates carrying an overwhelming number of reinforcements. Death soon gripped Lothario, Graveyard and Rufus, and it seemed so soon for our new adventurers to already meet their fate. But fate it seemed had another idea. With a flash of light the adventurers found themselves on the deck of *the Revenge,* just setting sail from port. Like a bad nightmare, it seemed that death no longer held the sway it once did.

From there, the three changed their choices and found their way below decks. After another mishap with some explosives in a lightning storm, they had to change tactics again. Not wanting to die a third time, they delved deeper on this reset, deep into the cargo hold. Wherein was a con man from Lothario's past, Chico Rendicara, a smooth talking finely dressed crook. He had displaced crates of explosives in the main cargo hold to make room for a poker table. Lothario decided to play the man's games in the hopes to win back a silver mine that Chico once stole. But soon the three were able to see that Chico was cheating, unfortunately, time ran out and the lightning struck the explosives once more. Our crew becoming once more acquainted with death.

Tired of the repeat, and wanting to find the solution, this time the three adventurers wasted no time. They dashed to the cargo hold, ousted Chico and won back the silver mine, and rushed to unlock the VIP room. Inside the room was a wealthy woman by the name of Tabitha Montgomery, and *the Revenge* was her ship. An outfit that once upon a time had been pirated by none other than Rufus. It turned out that Tabitha was also affected by the death loop because she was the owner of a magical artifact that prevented her from dying.

Now, finally aware of the solution to their problem, the adventurers took the knowledge of what had caused their deaths and started from scratch. The stayed away from pirates, avoided storms, and didn't even explode! Finally, with fate back in their hands, they were able to carry on with their mission.
