Marooned Gold
“Left for dead on Sapphire Key, you must survive the island, find its hidden gold, and take back the ship stolen by your first mate.”
The premise
Your crew is gone, your sloop is broken, and the surf is already chewing through what little you have left. Somewhere beyond the palms, Sapphire Key hides the treasure that made men lie, mutiny, and murder.
Play as a betrayed pirate captain clawing back from ruin: salvage the wreck, read the island’s dangers, bargain or clash with rival factions, and decide who can be used before they use you.
The gold is only part of the prize. If you can follow the map’s missing truth and survive the forces guarding it, you may leave the island with your fortune, your ship, and a name no traitor can bury.
Who you are
Born in the slums of Port Royale, you fought tooth and nail for survival. The sea became your escape, the deck your home. Rising from galley slave to captain, you built a name through nerve, blade work, and impossible escapes. Betrayal has taken your crew and command, but not your will to be remembered.
Your objective
Uncover Sapphire Key's secret treasure, survive the island's factions and hazards, and reclaim your stolen ship from the treacherous first mate who left you for dead.
The kind of choices you'll face
A few illustrative examples — in play, choices are written for the exact situation you're in:
- Scan the beach for anything useful from your wrecked sloop.
- Listen carefully—are there voices in the jungle?
- Check the treeline for signs of animals or tracks.
And when none of the options say what you actually want to do, write your own action — the story responds to it just the same.
