hex 1: the picaroon doubloon

An imposing ship painted black with a skeletal carved figurehead. The main mast and sail are missing, appearing as though it was snapped clean off, stranding the ship. Ten mindless SKELETONS (5xL3-G, 5xL3-B) stand idly on the deck. Their skeletal captain paces back and forth near the helm.

CAPTAIN ASH PICKERING

A skeleton with a fancy, gold-feathered captain's hat, peg-leg and hook hand. The skeleton's beard is actually the legs of a hermit crab, the real Ash Pickering. The crab is operating the skeleton like a puppet and is not undead. Captain Ash commands her skeletal crew with authority and discipline. They follow her in every direction. What she says, goes! Dracuid “attacked” their ship, snapping the mast and sail, sending it to the bottom of the lagoon when Ash explained they were just passing through. They've been stranded since.

• Traits: Brash, controlling, true swashbuckler.
• Motivation: Retrieve the broken mast. Captain Ash will part with half the treasure in her hold (Roll six times on the Pirate Treasure Table) if the PCs can return the mast and sail without Dracuid noticing.
