## Plot

The party go on a rescue mission to save four Pirate Lords.

## Synopsis

The four pirate lords are all waiting for death in the cells. A guard arrives to take them to their execution. The crew are on their way inland on a stolen carriage. They make small talk, the biggest being Kifo explaining to Sahge the Darfellan marriage laws. Mwana is incredibly uncomfortable and Sahge embraces the fact that they are now married. Sonney is not impressed. Kifo allows the partnership because it technically makes him related to two pirate lords, both currently on death row but you know, one step at a time. The conversations shifts over to the plan. They all agree that if they can only save some, they WON’T save Fancy. In fact, they won’t save Fancy at all. Kifo also mentions that they are traveling in a naval carriage, and there are probably other escapees in these woods, waiting to attack. In a foreshadowing moment, a group of ruffians emerge and flip the cart. They are led by Vic Hawklight, who is just as mad at Sonney as he is the navy for leaving him in his cell. They crew easily slaughter the attackers with Kifo annihilating Hawklight and taking his soul.

Mwana and Sahge are terrified and Sonney in a panic tries to tackle the darfellan but he is reassured that it is not dangerous. His markings take a bit longer to fade back to normal this time however. They get the carriage back on its wheels and continue on, no rest. Mwana and Sahge share a moment that is interrupted by Sonney and Kifo singing Darfellan love songs. Sahge is not a fan. They arrive in the city and everyone quickly gets to the rooftops but leave Sahge on the ground so he just walks into the building to get up top. The elderly woman who lives there immediately calls for the guards. The four boys start jumping from building to building and once again Sahge is left in the dust when he misjudges and falls to the earth. He is immediately arrested. Kifo falls through a roof into a mannequin dungeon and quickly leaves the weird place behind, never speaking of what he witnessed. He blends into the crowd. Sonney and Mwana get into position as Mint steps out on the pedestal, followed shortly by Black Scalp, Mad Monty, Fancy, and Tecnic who are lined up in that order. Mint begins to speak. He blames the lords for the death of Cockrell and decides that hanging them wouldn’t be enough justice. The firing squad steps up. He asks them if they have any last words. Black Scalp remains silent, Monty says goodbye to his children, Fancy denies his lordship, and Tecnic just looks up to the sky where he sees Sonney. Mint follows Tecnic’s line of sight to see his enemy and shouts fire.

Mwana jumps to the stage in an attempt to take the brunt of the hit but all it does is also drop him. Sahge hears the bullets go off and immediately summons his sword. One of the guards grabs it and gets devoured. Sonney tosses three fuzz balls into the crowd and summons two giant goats and a bear. The crowd is panicked to say the least. He then shoots Mint in the hip and the Admiral flees. He jumps down to the fight and Kifo throws more fire into the crowd. They both head up to the platform to check on their allies and family. Kifo goes to Black Scalp who is barely still breathing. The pirate lord takes Kifo’s hand and places his piece of eight into the ghost’s hand. Sonney runs to Tecnic who is unconscious. He lifts him up and begins running. Sahge attempts to get to his father but is too injured and there’s too much going on so he also leaves with them. There’s a montage of Black Scalp getting up and being shot numerous times again, dying as the other two pirate lords taking their last breaths. Kifo absorbs Black Scalp’s soul, grabs Mwana, and runs. The crowd is on fire and being mauled by bears and goats and the party flees the courtyard.
