Name's Peter Blood. I'm a pathfiner, or so they call us. I have no memory of how I got here... but it seems I am standed on some volcanic reef...



I found a source of fresh water... and signs of people...



A man's got to eat. This turtle will not only provide meat, but also leather and its shell. I can make a waterskin now...



I've seen some flotsam in the water. I found some salted meat and a few gold coins. I wonder if this has been my fate too. Am I the only survivor of a shipwreck?
Well, the ocean also provides a rich source of fish. I caught a tuna with my primitive flint spear...



Well, well... the island wasn't deserted. There are people living here, but they want gold if they are going to help me. I'm on my own for now. I will attempt to build myself a shack near by the water source, I think. I really need to set up a workshop so I can craft better tools than these stone ones I have. And I should try to tame some animals too, if I can.
Well, that's a task for another day...

   

With Tigger at my side, I felt very confidant about exploring the island. I really wanted to find the owner of that raft - whoever it was may be a serious threat to my own life. But so far, this scallywag had eluded me and kept eluding us. Then, suddenly, Tigger took off and I had no idea where he went - I was quite worried...

  

He did appear again after some time - with a mate by his side. I named her Kitty. Still no sign of the scallywag hiding from us, though. But it's just a matter of time, I'm sure...

Mary. Mary Blood be my name. And my story I will tell...



First thing, after waking up naked and without a memory, was to get some clothes - and tools and weapons. Fortunately, I possessed all the skills required, and more...



I got myself armed, equipped and ready. I tamed a male monkey I named Bananas. And found a wild cow. Taming her would mean I'd have a steady supply of milk. I was off to a good start...

To get off this island I needed something to take me across the waters, so I built a raft. I called it Beginning...



Out a sea I could salvage the flotsam I came across. It was meagre loot, but it was better than none. I had Bananas the money with me, and a chicken to lay me some eggs...



The first new island I visited had no new discoveries so I sailed north to the next region. There were always fleets of Ships of the Damned about, had to avoid those or end up at the bottom of the ocean. But where you find the fleets, you find flotsam. It was new land that drew me here though...



I was ready to make landfall...

It was getting time again to jump to another island...



Good for me, the pirates had a ship anchored and now it was mine...
