They were not intimidated by setbacks, even when captured by French troops. Hockridge managed to be enlisted as a privateer to the Crown and so be able to sail on unharmed—albeit without having the slightest interest in any observance of this treaty! Instead, they now have a nimble ship and a capable crew of pirates whom they are determined to lead to fame and fortune.

It’s just unfortunate that they’re bad at all three. Nevertheless, the obese Brown is a constant part of the team—simply too much now depends on them! In addition, they become really menacing in their mood swings: within seconds they can escalate into a frenzied rage. Only one thing can appease Brown then: large amounts of spirits and whores! In short: it is a guarantee of success on every shore leave.
