Islands of Plunder: Raid on the Emperor's Hand (SWADE)

With a Great Prize Comes Great Peril! A richly laden imperial merchant ship caught on a sandbar presents a tempting target to a crew of daring pirates.

At any moment the sails of her imperial escorts may appear on the horizon, but your scurvy scalawags have found her first (the story assumes you are playing seafarers of a questionable moral bent, pirates or privateers anyone?).
