On there arrival they were greeted by 3 of the most terrifying merfolk imaginable who made a wager with them. If the Pirates could out manuever them in a game of capture the treasure and grab 3 coins they would let them keep them and leave with their lives. if not, off to davy jones locker. The foolhardy crew agreed and so begins Pilferin' Pirates vs Murderous Merfolk
