YO HO AHOY AND AVAST, YE SALTY SEA DOGS!

Welcome to yet another one of Captain Turd Kind’s thrilling pirate adventures! 

This time, Captain Corbin’s ship was raided in the dark of night by ghost pirates on the mysterious ship the Marauder. They have stolen his treasure, his flags, and his rum! You’ll start the adventure in Port Ballston and make your way to Four Mile Run, the last known location of the Marauder. From there, you’ll scour the groves for the Captain’s treasure and earn your rewards!

BUT BEWARE! As twilight falls, watch out for the terrible spirits that await you in the blackened deep! Can you navigate the Swamp of Madness and the Forest of Fright to find all of the Captain’s treasure? Or will darkness descend upon you as the ghost crew of the Marauder celebrates the beginning of your transcorporeal existence?!

Bring your torches (cranium lamps), your boarding boots (extra shoes), and your grog filters (livers) for this one,
