Rapscallion ttrpg one shot Episode 4 Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day Saturday, September 19, 2026!

Episode Description

We wrap up Captain NetGru's birthday!

Naturally, the crew celebrates by heading to the pirate haven of Blackwater Cay for some much-needed liberty.

What could possibly go wrong?

Everything.

While enjoying their time ashore, the crew encounters a dying pirate carrying something far more valuable than gold:

A mysterious map.

The map points toward Gravewind Island, a legendary location that supposedly appears only when the supernatural Dead Tide rises.

But the crew isn't the only group interested in the map.

Enter:

CAPTAIN MARA VEX

Mara wants the map.

Her crew wants the map.

And apparently, they aren't interested in taking "no" for an answer.

The Dragon's Eye soon finds itself in a running battle with Mara's pirates, and when the smoke clears, her first mate lies dead.

Now Mara wants revenge.

The crew manages to escape Blackwater Cay—but Mara's pursuit doesn't end at the harbor.

She follows them across the sea.

The chase is on.

Our crew?

They're definitely not ordinary pirates.

Lance, the Gunslinger — played by Robert A former Queen's Guard sniper and an old acquaintance of Captain NetGru. Lance is the kind of pirate who would rather solve a problem from several hundred yards away.

Bob, the Matelot — played by Mike A hardworking sailor with his sidekick Richard and his beloved raccoon companion, Slim.

Sparrow, the Mountbank — played by David A mysterious figure in a dark hooded cloak carrying a silenced pistol. Sparrow also has a personal demon named Abzu, who has some rather murderous suggestions. His strange black rabbit's foot grants him access to illusions and telepathy.

Buxom Bess, the Swashbuckler — played by Kellie A star-touched pirate whose past includes a mysterious cult, a magical tattoo, a beautiful sparkly cutlass given to her by a former lover, and a rival known as The Dark Deep.

Captain NetGru — played by Guenter Tall, dark, handsome... and possibly possessed. NetGru has the unusual habit of talking to himself—but there's actually an old dead captain talking through him. He can walk through walls, wears a fantastic hat, and is accompanied by his beloved hyacinth macaw, Sapphire.

Oh... and did we mention that Captain NetGru once slapped the Queen?

Welcome aboard The Dragon's Eye.

The adventure is about to begin.
