Sixteen men on a dead man's chest, but someone forgot the rum...

Having explored and cleared all of the smaller structures in the hidden cove of the Crimson Fleet, the party begins its exploration of the main structure. It is a twisted creation of wrecked ships, trees, and other fell components. Very carefully, the party approaches the ship at the base of the structure.

Vin strides boldly on deck, opens a door to the decks below, and sets off a horrible trap. The party is struck with a symbol of insanity, and chaos breaks out. As the heroes desperately struggle to regain control of their minds, a demonic spider-like retriever attacks the party. And just as the party turns the tide, pirates from below deck pour out and join the fray. The battle is hard fought, and the group is victorious.
