Alright, here comes a massive combo that started with the set of native canoes and was recently wrapped up (for now? 🙂 ) with the full combo of pieces.
Gravedigger’s (Death) Sentence
Type: Ship (canoes)
Faction Affiliation: Pirate
Rarity: U
Point Value: 11
Number of Masts: 1
Cargo Space: 1
Base Move: S+L
Cannons: 2S
Ability: Native Canoe. Crew Killing.
Flavor text: This batch of canoes are crewed by gravediggers of the Caribbean. Unhappy with their lifestyle of slavery, they have taken to the seas to put bodies in graveyards themselves rather than waiting for the Reaper to give them a job to do. Rastarius Cain has taken them all the way to the Pacific, where they mix well with the native tribes and their own fleets of war canoes.
Rastarius Cain
Type: Crew
Faction Affiliation: Pirate
Rarity: R
Point Value: 14
Ability: Captain. Chieftain (Gravedigger’s Death Sentence).
Link: Warring Tribes, Mao Tiki
Flavor text: Rastarius Cain was a slave in Jamaica when a man named Philomela Yaqob broke him out of that hellish life. Commanding former slaves, he heard about the “exodus to the Pacific”, and decided to join the fray. Along the way he picked up a useful Chinese man skilled in the martial arts.
Warring Tribes
Type: Ship
Faction Affiliation: Pirate
Rarity: R
Point Value: 22
Number of Masts: 5
Cargo Space: 3
Base Move: S+S+S
Cannons: 2S-2S-2S-2S-2S
Ability: Galley. This ship’s cannon ranges cannot be increased. If this ship is not assigned Rastarius Cain, she gets -1 to her cannon rolls.
Link: Rastarius Cain, Mao Tiki
Flavor text: One of the most unique sights on the increasingly crowded Pacific Ocean, this ship has had her lower gun deck replaced with a rowing deck. The ship was already fast; with a full complement of oarsmen, she has become the fastest man-o-war of the modern age. The seasoned crew have maintained the ship’s firepower with a combination of constant gunnery training and a high number of devastating carronades. Her captain, Rastarius Cain, has become a favorite of the local natives in Oceania.
Mao Tiki
Type: Crew
Faction Affiliation: Pirate
Rarity: C
Point Value: 6
Ability: S-Board. This ship gets +1 to her boarding rolls.
Link: Warring Tribes, Rastarius Cain
Flavor text: After 31 years in mainland China learning how to fight for his life and country, Mao Tiki escaped the press gang and never stopped running. Picked up on Taiwan by former slave Rastarius Cain, he has formed an unlikely partnership that has proven lucrative – and dangerous for their enemies. With Cain leading his speedy makeshift galley and Tiki teaching the crew how to fight even without swords, the Warring Tribes looks to be one of the hardest ships to capture in the East.
