The Tavern

## Event

*In a tavern, you meet a ship's captain. "Pirates have taken over my ship, 'The Drunken Wench'. Help me reclaim her and I'll share whatever treasure remains in her hold!"*

1. Help. **Note**: It is possible to have to fight a kraken and not get any of the following options. Unknown if this can occur before defeating the Kraken chain quest.

**Huge Success**:
*When you reach the pier, you enquire about the 'The Drunken Wench', only to discover it berthed at an abandoned jetty. "I'm sorry lad, I swear I didn't leave her here yesterday... That's the last time I drink Dolesian brandy, for sure!" The shamefaced Captain gives you some supplies for your trouble.*
**Get 2 random reward cards (do NOT receive token)**
**Success**:
*When you reach the pier, you discover 'The Drunken Wench', abandoned. A quick search reveals that the pirates took all the treasure. "At least I have my 'Wench back. Take this for your trouble."*
**Get 1 random reward card (do NOT receive token)**
**Failure**:
*When you reach the pier, you discover that 'The Drunken Wench' has already left port. You and the Captain set off in a rowing boat to follow the pirates.*
*Soon, you and the Captain find yourselves heading further out to sea.*
**Huge Success**:
*You find the ship just off the coast. As you climb aboard, a yell goes up from the pirates. You reach the deck just as they attack!*
**Fight a King of dust + one random dust.**
*You find treasure in the ship's hold. The Captain draws his sword. "It's mine! Keep away!*
A) Attack the captain
IF PLAYER IS OVER 1/2 HEALTH
*You attack the Captain. The fight is long and savage but, ultimately, you are victorious. The Captain lies dead at your feet.*
*You gather what treasure you can carry.*
**Draw 3 pain cards and 2-4 gain cards**
*Amongst the other valuables, you find a map. You have no idea what may be found at the location marked, but you stash it away, just in case.*
**This token is now yours**
IF THE PLAYER IS BELOW 1/2 HEALTH
*You attack the Captain. The fight is long and savage but, ultimately, you are defeated and thrown overboard. You wash up on a shore hours later.*
B) Offer to share
> 1/2 HEALTH
*"There's only one thing I want!" the Captain says, grabbing a scroll of parchment and fleeing the room. You shrug and take what remains.*
*You gather what treasure you can carry.*
**Draw 2-3 gain cards**
< 1/2 HEALTH
*"I think I'll kill you and keep the lot!" While duelling the Captain, a lamp falls over and starts a fire. Losing track of him in the smoke, you return to the rowing boat. You head for shore as the ship is engulfed in flames.*
C) Tell him he can keep it.
*You leave the room and explore the rest of the ship on your way back to the rowing boat. Minutes later, you are back at sea, rowing strongly for shore.*
**Success**:
*You find the ship just off the coast. Carefully, you climb aboard and discover that the pirates have tied up the crew, then abandoned the ship, and most of the treasure! "Bless you lad," the Captain says, "I have my 'Wench back."*
**Draw 1 gain card + 1 blessing card**
**Failure**:
*After two days of searching, the Captain finally admits defeat. "Aye, I'll likely never see my 'Wench again." he moans, tearfully.*
