Had the craziest session last night. I was in a 2 man sloop with a friend, we did a couple of missions, nothing out of the ordinary, when a skull appeared, so we decided to get some stuff (we managed to gather 60 cannon balls and lots of wood and bananas) give it a try since we had never done it before. We approach the event and see a galleon parked by the fort. We approach it to see what they were trying to do, and they started to shoot at us, sinking our ship. "This is war". We respawned at an outpost near the fort, so we go back there. The same galleon was standing still, so we approach from the back to avoid their cannons and start to shoot the hell out of it. They try to board us but my friend kills the guy. They panic and start sailling around the island, so we begin the chase, staying out of sight of their cannons, going left and right all the time while my buddy was shooting. After 10 epic minutes, we see another galleon approaching the fort, so we stay a bit back and decide to let them fight between each other.
We circle around the island and go to the right of the second galleon, so it stays in the middle of the three. We proceed to shoot the hell out of it too. The first galleon apparently was just trying to survive because they weren't shooting anything. The second galleon panics and leaves the area while we laugh our asses off. I jump to the fort and gather some supplies while avoiding skeletons, my friend keep the sloop circling around the fort. I get back up and decide to attack the first galleon, which at that point was doing nothing. We see 2 of their crew trying to snipe us down with no luck, and we finally sink them. At that time, nobody was around, so we jump off to the fort. We realize that a couple of guys from the first galleon were there too, but we manage to kill them. It was us versus the skeletons. We fight, we die, we respawn, we fight again, we die, we respawn again, we fight again. WE WIN. WE GET THE KEY. I tell ,my friend to gather some supplies (we had no more bananas nor wood) and return to the ship to keep an eye on the horizon while I empty the loot. I pick the juicy stuff first and start loading it, but before we can get everything, he sees a galleon on the distance approaching the fort. We decide to leave some loot and get the hell out of it. The galleon starts getting closer. They weren't interested in the fort, they were coming for our asses.
What followed were the most nerve wrecking 30 minutes ever, being chased by a galleon, our sloop full of loot. Going left and right, around islands, dropping anchor to change directions. They were still following us. Those bastards! We decide to take the cowards way. We set sails to the nearest outpost, my friend grabs a big chest and I drop him by it while I keep on sailling to try and leave the galleon behind. As I was going around the outpost, my friend tells me he can't fine the merchant and there's a guy from the galleon on the island. "Dude wtf cash that loot for fuck's sake"; he's panincking, but he manages to cash it just before he gets killed. He respawns and helps me loose the galleon, which kept on chasing us for another 20 minutes after they give up. WE ARE FREE. We go to an outpost and cash everything.
"Hey dude, we left some things in there, shoul we go back and check if it's still there?". WELL OF COURSE. We go back to the fort and see the galleon that was chasing us parked there. As we start getting closer, we see them get the hell out. We laugh of our asses off, they were fucking scared of us. We decide to hop on the fort and check if they left anything. Unfortunately they didn't, but we grab a couple of gunpowder chests and decide to return to the outpost, cash them in and call it a night. We were out of wood and cannon balls. But that wasn't just it. I fucked up and crashed against a rock. Our ship, which by that time we alreday named Serafin because she had served us right, gets 4 holes. We had no wood left. Fuck. I start sailling as fast as I can to the outpost while my friend keeps trying to keep Serafin afloat. We manage to get there, I drop the anchor and go as fast as I can to try and get some wood to patch it up. I do it, we patch it, everything is OK, we are laughing our asses off, totally exhausted. We cash in the gunpowder barrels and decide to take a pic with Serafin before call it a night.
My friend says "if I say another glaleon right now I will just give no fucks and let them kill us". As we take the picture, I tell my buddy "dude, look to your right". He does. he sighs. ANOTHER FUCKING GALLEON PARKED THERE. We decide to approach them. I realize there's one dude about to cash in a chest, he doesn't see me so I kill him and cash the chest. I get on the galleon and kill 3 guys. My friend jumps in, we check the ship but they got nothing else there...but a gunpowder barrel. That was it, the perfect send off. I suicide shooting at the barrel. We are both crying from laughter. We respawn at the outpost, they're still there! One dude is on our ship, we kill him and see them try to get away. We start chasing them but Serafin was alredy leaking. We start shooting at them. We sink their ship. They sink us. I start playing music underwater. I see someone approaching; music starts getting louder. I realize it's a guy from the galleon crew; I wave at him, he waves back, we keep playing music until we drown. The perfect sendoff.
TL;DR: 2 man sloop. Fucked up 4 galleons, conquered a skull fort, had the time of our lives. 5 hours of maddnes. GOTY.
