Pirate Betrayal At Colonial House part 1

"No Honor Among Thieves" comes too fruition. As Dawn broke a sentry was found dead on the pirate ship Revenge. A quick search and the ships treasure was discovered missing, along with a group of the crew. The remaining crew fractured into different groups but they all agreed there was only one place the renegades could have taken the treasure, Colonial House in the interior of the island.


The British regulars drill outside while the renegades stay inside Colonial House.


All things appear quite but that will not last.


A pirate band advance on Colonial House.



Another band Advances.


Chuckaroo's pirate band breaks cover and heads toward the house.



Hidden natives ambush Barry's pirates.


The Natives scatter Barry's party.



Chuckaroo's party charges into the natives to help out Barry.

The swift swing of a boarding axe puts an end to the witch doctor.




Barry's team moves up to try and talk to the renegades.



Alex's pirates fire a blunderbuss into the back of Karen's party( yes, that is right we had a woman playing playing a tabletop war game.)


The British Regulars fire into Karen's party.

@Steven

I talked to the gamemaster from the Pirate game and he said the system used was Pieces of Eight. It was a set of free online rules that Tom has heavily modifed for playability. I don't think they are still available.
