Port Phase

The Home of Pirates: The crew has its base on an island and from there they sail seeking adventure. For that each adventure will indicate which island our goal is on.

Once the adventure is successfully accomplished, the crew will go Home, sailing back the way they came to their island of origin

What to do in the Pirates Island.Back home, the Captain can decide to contract new crew members, improve the ship, pay off debts, negociate the price of a cargo stolen on some boarding....

Meanwhile, the pirates make the most to spend their earnings on enjoying the pirate life, buying some piece of gear with gold from their personal booty, acquire new abilites...And all this is the Port Phase.

The booty:There are two kinds of booty in Skull Tales, the personal booty each pirate has looted and the crews booty.

The personal booty is the one each player puts together on his adventures by searching fallen enemies for coins, exploring or fulfilling goals. To this amount we must add the salary that the character perceives for being part of the crew on the crossing home, which will be indicated in the Characters sheet.

The Crews Booty is the one the Captain gets during the Voyage phase in the form of goods looted during boarding, plus whatever plunder were rewarded with for fulfilling the Captains goals on each adventure.

The Tavern: This is the ideal place to hire folk. Here the Captain can choose new members for the crew, paying their hiring fee, which is the salary indicated on their card. This is also the place where youll have to pay your crews salaries of your crew when your return from each adventure.

Each Pirate Squad has a salary of 30 coins. If you want to add a Pirate Squad to your crew, youll have to pay 30 coins for them. Remember that the maximum number of PSs on a ship is 6.

The other characters and PS will receive their regular salary indicated on their card or sheet, and the amount must be paid out of the Crews Booty.

Shipyard: A ship needs patching up and improving to be able to govern the seas. This is the place to go for such needs. Check the following table to see the costs and possible improvements that you can add to your ship as captain.

Repairs and Improvements:

Kind of repair or improvement CostFull repair of the Hold 25

Kinds of ships:

Merchants:

Several merchants have settled on the island and they like to trade with pirates and their goods, much cheaper than from any other supplier. Check on the Merchants table the total worth of the goods youve amassed on your crossings. Write down the amount on the Captains log sheet, under the BOOTY section. With this money you must pay the crew, you can hire new hands and improve the ship.This is also the place to buy Rum and Supplies for the next crossing. Dont forget to get your numbers right and get hold of what you need before going back to sea as Captain.
