Roving Pirates
Appearance
Roving pirates sail the Frontier a tile a minute, moving from archipelago to archipelago round the ring. They show on water you have charted.
Send a Raid at one and it heaves to for you alone until the fight. Sink it for a purse of Pirate Medallions. A sunk fleet is soon replaced somewhere else.
| Fleet | 1F purse | 2F purse | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A loose pack of sloops and brigs, quick to run and quick to fold. | 2 to 5 | 3 to 8 | |
| A raiding line with frigates at its heart and a galleon to anchor it. | 4 to 9 | 6 to 14 | |
| Galleons under black sails and a crew that has done this before. | 8 to 15 | 12 to 23 |
Every pirate sunk in a depth fills its bounty bar, which raises Absalom Rook in 1F or Mercy Thorne in 2F. The medallions are spent with the travelling shops.
