Part 4: Princess to Pirate Captain
The ship Craigmore had attacked, called the Whyknot, turned out to be a pirate ship as well, laden with captured cargo. Their captain, first mate and much of their crew had been killed in the attack. The remaining crewmembers were very grateful to the Princess and barmaid for saving them, and they naturally assumed that Priscilla and Bess were members of the Sisterhood of Seafaring Sirens, commonly known as the Buccaneer Beauties. After all, who else could fight like those two had? Of course, the intrepid duo didn't say they weren't . . . and when Priscilla showed them she also had a King's ransom (well, a Princess') in TREASURE herself, they asked her to become their captain.
Priscilla decided that she would be their captain with Bess as First Mate. When Bess pointed out that they didn't know how, Priscilla told her that between the people skills of a barmaid and the command skills of a Princess, they could do anything. So they announced themselves to the crew as the Pirate Princess and Bess the Buccaneer, and ordered them to set sail for the home of the Buccaneer Beauties.
At that, the helmsman set a course for Bodicea Bay on Ailouros Island, clueless to the fact that Bess and the Princess had never been there before . . .
