"If you fail," the Pirate King warns you, "don't come back to me. Flee as far as you can and pray I never find you." He gets up and shakes your hand. "The jail is on the coast, within range of a ship's cannons, but it's very well protected since Drakesport is one of the Royal Navy's main ports. The town is governed by Lord Colton, a retired admiral and old rival of mine. Good luck, captain."

You leave the Pirate King's castle and make your way back to Midnight, trying to avert Raquel's hateful glare... Something tells you she'll never forgive you for pulling the trigger of that pistol. Once you are back to your ship, you summon your men to a meeting in the mess room to tell them about the mission and discuss your strategy.

"We should storm the jail by night," declares Roderigo, never one for subtlety.

"Too dangerous," says another man, shaking his head. "Let's try the Trojan prisoner gambit [1]."

"That one's old, only idiots fall for it," grunts a third man. "Let's kidnap one of Lord Colton's relatives. That'll teach the bastard a lesson."

Your men argue louder and louder, and it's up to you to choose a course of action.
