FINAL TRIAL

Eventually, the investigation ends. You have time to move your supplies (and Jimmy Buffetts) off the ship, but it's a hike up to the lighthouse. You're only going to be able to bring what you need.

All that's left is to hope that you have that, after all of this.

The jungle that stretches out into the distance is eerily quiet as you make your way up to the lighthouse - enough time to wonder, certainly, what awaits you in there. Will The Captain finally show you his true face? Can he? There's only one way to find out... time to make your way inside.

Unless you're Magica, the lobby (so to speak) of the lighthouse might be a little overwhelming: piles and piles of pirate treasure to the sides of the room, with a raised, dark glass cylinder in the center. Around that cylinder are a series of makeshift podiums, ready for you all to stand together one last time.

Standing in front of that cylinder is The Captain. Not to get too into details, but though natural processes are slowed, Jack's body isn't exactly in perfect shape, and still moves in that unnerving puppet-y way he has each time you've seen him.

"Welcome... to your-!"

Is what he manages before there's a pair of very loud noises behind you - the first a massive blast of water that draws your attention just before a massive explosion on the side of the SS Swift detonates moments later, sending a blast of energy outwards - which pauses, for a moment, before almost reversing into an implosion that sees all traces of the ship sucked into the aether. A pirate ship you've never seen before sails behind it, visible for just a moment before the doors slam closed.

"... I'll be with you in a moment. Don't go anywhere."

And The Captain leaves the room fast. So fast, in fact, that he... leaves Jack's body behind, though it's too quick to get any kind of good look at him. Ignoring... that, looks like you guys have some time to talk things over! Better make it count.

[smh doing battle at sea sounds like way more fun than bullying a ghost demon pirate man!!!!

Anyway, sounds good; he's not afraid of going to grab that and get a better look! He's got a massive scythe and can defend himself if LeChuck gets mad at him, so better he do it!! What's up with the Dutchman and this other ship and whatever fight's happening there?]

[He can have a complicated feeling about how death isn't permanent and all that later, but right now he's just going to laugh.]

Looks like you lose, LeChuck. Your goons are a little tied up at the moment with a few of our friends - so, what's your next move?

Are you serious?!

[Filbo eagerly takes the spyglass, looking through it. It takes him a moment to realize what he's seeing. It's...it really is happening. It's them!]

They're...they're here! They're here, alive and not dead!

[Well, who knows what they are, but they're here and that's what matters. If there's anyone who wants to look through the spyglass go ahead]
cethflayn: (healing is my specialty)

[ Tragically, he is not alone and a full fourth of the population of this lighthouse is now truly insufferable. ]
