Chapters

Prologue

The Castaway

To do what you do...
To plunge into the icy depths and face the hatred that dwells below the waves...
That is not easy.
But in the dark, you found the heart of the Black Pearl...
...her loyal crew.
Mister Gibbs, you are no longer my only guest.

Gibbs

Ah, we meet again!
This fine woman's been tellin' me about this Sea of Thieves we've found ourselves upon.
Seems we won't be wantin' for adventures here.
Unless of course the goings on in the Sea of the Damned...

The Castaway

Aye, I have been telling Mister Gibbs that the Sea of the Damned is a place shaped by the lives of those who live there.
The Cursed Captain, him not know it...
...but the town where him spent eternity is drawn from his own lost past...

Gibbs

And that's what's got us thinking...
If we can follow the footprints to find the boots that made em...
...we can use a man's life to find the man.
Now I've sailed with Jack Sparrow more longer'n most!
So I've more than a few tales of his past misdeeds tucked away in the old mazard.

The Castaway

Our lives are like threads in a tapestry, they loop and they tangle.
The stories Mister Gibbs tell helped me tease out the golden thread of Jack's path...
...as it wind through the Sea of the Damned.
Now it fall to you to follow it.

Gibbs

But, er, as to Jack's precise location...
...we're still at a bit of a loss.
You'll need this back for the best chance of findin' him.

(After taking Jack's Compass from Gibbs)

The Castaway

If what you want most truly be to save the Sea of Thieves from Davy Jones, then the compass will point the way.
All I can do is drawn back the veil...

(The Castaway casts a spell, opening a Tunnel of the Damned)

Gibbs

Uh, before you go...
There's plenty about Jack's life that's strange, or peculiar, or downright inconceivable!
So I've scrawled down all that I can in these here notes.
You'd best take them for the journey.
I'd tag along but if I tried to leave without making reparations to the lass, Larinna, who gave us food and lodging...
...not even the Sea of thie Damned will hide me.
Best of luck to ye... we're all counting on you to bring Jack home.

After the Castaway delivers the dialogue, set sail through the portal she has opened, and you will find yourself and your ship in the Tunnel of the Damned.

Tunnel of the Damned

Ghostly Parrot

Pieces of eight. (squawk) Pieces of eight.
Hoist the colours! (whistles) (clicks) (whistles)
Walk the plank. Walk the plank. (squawk) Hahahahaha

Ghostly Voice

Psst! Avast there!
It be too late to alter course, mateys...
...and there be plunderin' pirates lurkin' in every cove, waitin' to board.
And mark well me words, mateys...
Dead men tell no tales!

Damned Journal​

(On a table in the wooden hut with a rocking chair and banjo, The Whispering Bayou.)

Dialogue icon

My picking brings many a lost soul to my porch, but none so strange or lost as her.
She did sit wit’ me, long into the night, and listen to me play. As the nights went by, the cher started to tell me more about herself.
She talked of a man who played beau music, music that could clasp at your very soul.
He done wronged her, and now the sound of the organ music made her feel like her heart was being ripped from her chest.

 

Damned Journal

(In a Sunken Rowboat, The Whispering Bayou.)

Dialogue icon

A merry chase I’ve been on! Now, at the end of it, I am sure it was hopeless from the start.
I went to the seeress to ask a boon, which she agreed to grant if I could retrieve a lost monkey. Simple enough!
For days I tracked it, the damned thing mocking me at every turn. I’d get close, only for it to chitter with glee and disappear into the mist. Eventually I managed to corner it.
Suddenly there was a strange noise from the direction of the seeress’ shack. The little beast cocked its head on one side and bolted in that direction.
I am afeared to return to her. I have heard tales of what happens to those who fail Tia Dalma…

 

Damned Journal

(In the hands of a skeleton inside a cage, The Whispering Bayou.)

Dialogue icon

I was right to be afeared. Her rage was like a terrible storm. I would have been better to slip away into the swamps than dare to return to her empty handed.
The fact that the damned monkey stared down at me from the rafters seemed to count for nothing. If anything, it only made her angrier.
She screamed and shouted about the importance of bargains and how people should stay true to their word.
She turned away from me and reached into her pocket. Suddenly she spun around and blew powder into my face. When I woke, I was here.
If you find my bones, heed my words. Do not cross, Tia Dalma!

 

Damned Journal

(Beside one of the Skeletons in The Hole, Coastal Fort.)

Dialogue icon

The sea calls to me. I hear her, even within these ‘ere prison walls.
She whispers of new horizons an’ adventures to be shared.
But as I stand ‘ere in line, waitin’ to meet me end, all I can do is close me eyes and dream of the sea.
For this sunrise will be me last and I’ll ne’er set eyes on her again.

 

Damned Journal

(Inside the jail on the right side of the courtyard, Coastal Fort.)

Dialogue icon

I sailed the seas for many years, but I never experienced true cruelty till I set foot within these walls.
The Spanish soldiers mete out punishments at their pleasure.
I have seen men flogged for a sideways glance and my own fate was sealed by speaking out when they beat a boy no older than ten.
I will take all that they can mete out gladly, knowing that I have bought his freedom with my life.
For as long as he is free to sail the seas, never shall I die.

 

Townsfolk Journals

Journal​

(In the Clothing Shop, Isla Tesoro.)

Dialogue icon

The rumours of the vast wealth stored away in our treasury must have reached the ears of the pirates.
What else could be drawing them here in such numbers?! I pray that the Captain and his men are doing all in their power to keep it, and us, safe.
Sadly, our illustrious Mayer isn’t giving the same care to the valuables the townsfolk have placed under his protection!
Strolling around town with the key to it around his neck! Any passing knave could take it and force the Mayor to reveal the location of our precious belongings, I despair!

A Pirate’s Life for Me by Hugo Pérez Age 6 and three quarters
My mama is always cursing the pirates and saying they are bad men with no souls!
I don’t think this is true. I think they just don’t like rules and want to have fun. I think I would like to be a pirate!
If I was in the pirate league I could go on adventures and find buried treasure and go to bed whenever I liked!
I’ve been practicing burying treasure! I’ve even written a treasure map rhyme because all maps have to rhyme!
‘Behind a courtyard you will find an X with the loot, but it’s hard to find’ Does that rhyme?

 

Journal

(To the left of the ghost shootout inside the canal tunnel on a barrel, Isla Tesoro.)

Dialogue icon

The Wicked Wench has been haunting the waters off our coast.
Barbossa is one of the most feared pirate captains to sail the seas and his crew is a rag tag band of villains and thieves.
There are worrying rumours that the pirates have set up a hideout in the sea caves not too far from here. What are they planning?
I have had the men preparing for an attack for days now. Stockpiling weapons, ammunition and enough shot to send the Wicked Wench to Davy Jones.
I pray that we will have the strength to repel Barbossa and his crew of miscreants, but in my heart, I fear the worst.

 

Journal

(On a wooden crate at the top of the leftmost town walls, Isla Tesoro.)

Dialogue icon

I spend my days and nights protecting the people of Isla Tesoro from pirates.
But today I overheard the Captain arguing with the Mayor. I’m sure I heard mention of the Treasury and then the talk turned to that scoundrel, Jack Sparrow.
Why do I risk life and limb every day to repel pirates, for the Mayor to keep one of them safe within our walls?!
The Captain obviously shares my feelings, as their conversation ended abruptly when the Captain announced that, “Jack Sparrow will be the death of us all!”

 

Journal

(On a ledge of the balcony, Isla Tesoro.)

Dialogue icon

I’m not sure how much more of this I can take. Every time I hear shouting in the street or a bell ringing my heart leaps into my mouth.
Knowing that the likes of Barbossa, Captain Redd and Jack Sparrow are just offshore, is terrifying.
There isn’t a moment of the day when I am not thinking about the inevitable attack. The waiting is crushing me.
Many have fled, but I don’t have the money for passage and even if I did, where would I go? This island is my home but, lord help me, I don’t want it to be my grave.
