So we set sail in our gallion(big 4 player ship), and we just kinda drifted for a bit. We didn't see any skull forts to be raided or ships(player or non-player) to be sunk, but what we did see is a reapers chest(a chest that has a marker on the map) off in the distance, ripe for the picking. And so we sailed over towards it and dove down into the sea to collect it from a sunken ship. We yoinked it from the wreck and got it on board. We started to sail back where we came from until we spotted a skull cloud in the skies, an active skull fort. we started hurrying over there but we spotted a sloop that had the reapers flag(an optional flag that marks your ship on the map for all players to see). it then started heading towards the lost gold fort... the one that was active and that WE were headed too. After getting to the fort we noticed they were not headed there at all instead they were headed to plunder valley. unbeknownst to us my good friend Captain Back Rolls/Snack Sparrow somehow heaved his body and jammed it into a cannon and fired off towards the sloop to catch them, sink them, and then take their loot ashore to pick up later.
we started to kill the skeletons that were defending the fort all the while keeping a close eye on our surrounding waters and on the horizon. We proceeded to fight wave after wave killing skellington after skellington. That is until a brigantine started sailing towards the fort... we got ready to blow it out of the water with the cannons, it got closer and closer and closer. but before we could even get a solid few hits in it sailed right past us and went off to an outpost to supposedly sell their stuff... after more waves and no more distractions we finally killed the 4 skull fort bosses, 1 normal skeleton captain, 2 ashen skeleton captains, and one Skeleton Captain of the Helm... he was definitely a challenge... due to us having to shoot CANNONS at him to kill him. after killing the bosses, Our helmsman entrusted one of us to sail to plunder valley to collect the loot that Captain Snack Sparrow left neatly piled on the shore... our friend WispyDuchess went afk, the helmsman of our ship was hiding the fort vault key in a bush as i sailed by my lonesome on the gallion... everything went quiet, the water slowly blackened to an inky mess, there was a sense of fear and hatred that washed over me as multiple snake like appendages rise from the depths. "Oh shoot guys the kraken is attacking the ship!!!" I hollard. but the kraken must've had sensitive hearing cuz the next thing i knew, the kraken had slapped the boat with its tentacle. I was furiously bucketing the lower deck of the ship, making sure the ship didn't sink and that we sailed another day. I then begin repairing the holes and soon enough Captain Back Rolls and, our helmsman, Mr. GoblinSlayer, took mermaids back to the ship and began helping me to repair and defend our ship from the beast. The kraken then wrapped its tentacle around our hull and held our ship in place as we whaled at it with our guns and swords. We then force it to loosen its grasp so we can escape out of the abyssal ink. only for Mr. GoblinSlayer to then be sucked up by one of the mouths of the tentacles and then launched back out. When he landed in the water he was met with a slightly irritated mermaid... We slowly make our way out of the ink, We then steer around the ink and regain our heading towards Plunder Valley. We made it there, collected the loot and began to sail to an outpost where we sold the normal loot, such as skulls, trinkets, chests, and crates of goods. We headed to the reapers hideout where we FINALLY sold our reapers chest. We then proceeded to the northstar sea post to deliver a special crate of goods to the hunters' call representative at that sea post. We had nothing to sell... no more events were taking place. No more objectives. So we set our ship ablaze with firebombs... as the ship slowly burned we sat on the dock and watched...

We then heard cannon fire off in the distance behind us. We looked at each other and grinned before jumping into the water towards the direction of the shots. After a minute or two of swimming, sharks started to chase us, we hung on for awhile until Captain Snack Sparrow perished due to the sharks taking large chunks out of his CHUNKY body... Goblin and I pushed on and made it to the island and we found a ROW BOAT(with a harpoon gun on it)... the ship was still out in the distance so we took the harpoon row boat, started rowing towards a sloop that was fighting a skeleton ship. As we approached the two ships I harpooned the sloop and Goblin boarded the ship, anchored it, and decided to help the fellow pirate kill the skeleton sloop. by the time we killed the skelly ship Captain Back Rolls was already swimming towards the sloop... Snack Sparrows and GoblinSlayer then conversed with the pirate and deduced that he was new to the sea of thieves, while I went below deck to see what goodies I could find... and goodies I found. A butt load of chests and skulls along with trinkets lined his bottom deck. I immediately reported my findings to my crew and We set a plan into motion. We sailed his ship towards an outpost and as we neared the beach, at full speed mind you, the newby pirate asked "so any tips for new pirates like me?" Sparrow then walked in front of him, his shadow looming over the poor victim of piracy. He lined his blunderbuss with the pirates head... and pulled the trigger in one swift motion. The ship then smashes into the sands of the island and we rush down to collect the loot and sell it before the ferryman lets the new revenge seeking pirate into the world of the living. We get the loot on the island, my friend goblin kills him... we get sell half the loot, GoblinSlayer kills the poor soul again, i go back to look for more loot, by the time i get back the man was crawling out of the water onto the beach his ship half sunk and half ablaze. I look the man dead in the eyes and point my pistol at him while grinning before saying "A tip for new pirates here on these forsaken Seas ey?..., don't trust anyone... also..." the man looks up with fear and a hit of anger plastered on his face... the small sound of a hammer clicking "WELCOME TO THE SEA OF THIEVES!!!'' a loud shot echoes through the Sea of Thieves... thunder cracks... it begins to rain... there is no mercy for pirates let alone on the Sea Of Thieves... you may be wondering what my name is... My name is Captain JOLLY MARLIN a pirate seeking the treasure of athena... what's that you may ask? Why don't you Come to the Sea Of Thieves to find out... We'll be waiting!!!
