Guard Duty
- Entrance
- Hatch to Above Deck
- Hatch to Below Deck
This is a very fun quest, even though it doesn't give a lot of experience. You are positioned inside a ship while another ship has apparently attacked and is bording your ship. Your job is to make sure your crew isn't completely wiped out and kill the final boss (captain of the pirate ship).
You begin inside the ship at the Entrance (marker #1). Explore the rooms inside the ship to find a key so that you can open the Hatch to Above Deck (marker #2). Now exit through the Hatch to Above Deck and notice something interesting has happened...
You are not approximately 100 yard to the northeast in the ocean!! Ok, not really, but the map shows that you are. You are actually on the above deck, but the map shows the ships far away and you are magically fighting waaaaaay out there. I put a ship on the map to make it understandable. Anyway...
The crew is trying to fight off the hobgoblins and kobolds that are attacking the ship. Interesting enough is the idea that most of them are using ranged attacks against each other. This make protecting the crew easy. Neither side hits very hard, but your crewmen are outnumbered and will eventually all die. Run across the gangplanks to the pirate ship and kill any monsters that spawn. Careful of blowing up any of the explosive barrels on your own ship, your crewmates are likely standing beside them and can kill them.
Once the ship has been protected, finish out and collect your reward.
