With the revelation of a new map, we prepared for the final quest. The First Mate, Dr. Frost, and I set forth, Union Jack flying overhead, ready to feast our eyes on gold. We did not give a long farewell to our crew, nor Matt, for we were so eager.
My two companions and I only saw one spot of peril in our entire cross-island adventure. The man, from the ship mentioned the 28th, stood in our path and had us at gunpoint.
"Ye found ya' self in quite the dilemma, eh? Looks like you brought a saber to a gunfight! If ye be giving me that there coin, you may step free!" The seaman smiled, seeing that he put us between a hard place and a rock.
Warily, I give him the golden map. Overjoyed the man turned around and began to run back to his ship. However, when his back was turned, Frost stabbed him.
I looked down at him, gloating, "Ah, now who has the upper hand!" I laughed, "What's you're name?"
"Cap'n Fisher!" He screamed, with his dying breath, "And me crew will be at the treasure, ready to take it in my name!" With that he died.
With the map back in our possession, we continued towards the treasure, that we were sure would be ours. To our dismay, the treasure was hidden behind another bulwark, just like the coin before it.
