I'm debating between two storys for a Role play I have bouncing in my head. Both of them feturing PIracy. (me, pirates? Who'd think.)
Story A: Treasure Island, basically
A young man is approached with a promise of a fortune beyond his wildest dreams. The young man accepts, and it rendered unconious. When he wakes he's on a ship Named 'The Highlander'. The most famous of English scouting ships. Halfway though, a pirate ring inside creates a secret mutiny and revals that where they're sailing to is not uncharted land, but a mass fortune buried by pirates and sailors of old. The pirates take control of the ship, and sail to the island. With a final rally and deadly battle one of the sides claims the ship, the treasure, and the lives of the others.
Story B: Less piratey, more spooky
As a routine sailing expidetion, 'The Queen Fury' crashes into another ship. This ship is over 2000 years old. The ghost ship of legend, rams The Queen Fury and a small party of 'heroes' boards the ghost ship. Revealing a chilling mystery about it, uncovering of a murder, and a dark terrible secret held by one of their own.
