Quick Summary
Session 4 marked a turning point as the party officially became wanted criminals. A mysterious well-dressed messenger confronted Flynn and Llewyn outside the Pirate King Henry statue, revealing their wanted posters before they’d even been circulated publicly. The session also saw Marines arrive on the island to burn down pirate-affiliated establishments, leading to the destruction of a local tavern.
The party met Iglis, a talking skeleton with the Revive-Revive Fruit - a former pirate turned brewmaster who was burned alive by Marines but resurrected as a skeleton. He asked to join the crew. Meanwhile, the party learned a Marine brigade ship had docked on the eastern side of the island with approximately 50 personnel, setting up the conflict to come.
