The Right Decision?

You decide to attack with Windspeeder but find out the smaller ships maneuver better by themselves. The pirates, seeing you are slowed by Windspeeder approach quickly and circle around you firing at your ships.

Hearing a groaning sound in the rigging, you look above just in time to see a cannonball snap the top of the mainmast. The topsail and rigging fall crashing down around your feet.

Your order to board the pirate vessel falls on deaf ears as your first mate is already raising the white flag of surrender. You run to him.

"What do you think you are doing?" you scream above the din of battle.

"I'm surrenderin', Cap'n, we're not up to this battle," he replies.

Bowing your head you know it's the right decision. You can only hope the rumours about Beheader are false. Are they, do you think ....?

AN UNCERTAIN END
