STORY

Story

You are the navigator of the pirate schooner Bracken. A storm traps two sailors in a reef refuge just as your cargo of medicine is due at the harbor. You have one capstan and time for one run. Rig a tow and bring the sailors aboard now at the cost of risking the cargo, secure the medicine and leave the pickup to the harbor cutter, or anchor alongside the refuge and wait for dawn. The passage you choose changes what ends up aboard and what reaches the quay.

Quartermaster Ivo can read a chart in a pitching cabin. Sailmaker Tomas can draw a whale out of a bad stitch. When the storm settles, spend a quiet watch getting to know either man or sign off the log yourself. Your answer about romance is a choice of its own. Play this original English story in your browser with your own written replies. Live AI play requires an account and Starlight.
