The year is 1777, and you are a prisoner aboard the HMS Barfleur on its journey from the Caribbean back to England where you will be put on trial before the court of King George. The brig is full of pirates and misfits, all bound to face the King's justice.
Unknown to the crew of the Barfleur, the Pirate Captain and Witch, Flora Burn set in motion a devious plot. She cursed the Admiral and everyone on board, transforming them into rats before kidnapping the Admiral's infant son, and making her escape!
In exchange for a full pardon, the Admiral begs you and the remaining prisoners to bring back his son.
Among those in custody is an American settler who joined the Continental Army to fight the British, David Douglas. He was eventually captured and forced to board the doomed vessel...
Swashbuckling Sea Rat
As with all Sea Rats, Douglas has a unique moveset, and can fight in a variety of different ways. As a true swashbuckler, his go-to weapon is his trusted cutlass. Lethal at close and mid-range, the cutlass has good speed and reach and can be utilised effectively in most combat situations without putting Douglas at too much risk.
The cutlass is especially handy when closing the gap between any long-range fighters or for intercepting leaping enemies with its large overhead sweeping attack. Douglas' jumping attacks can be a great way of catching an opponent off guard, the downward mid-air slash is fast and precise making it effective against charging foes.
Fire in the Hole!
No true sailor's arsenal is complete without a pistol at their side. For those enemies out of reach of the cutlass, Douglas can fire his pistol, propelling a fireball projectile in a straight line forwards. Pistol shots will deal an incredible amount of fire damage to an opponent!
With a natural affinity for fire, Douglas can unlock several pyro-based abilities. Wild Fire is a passive ability that buffs spell damage and burns enemies for a short period of time, causing extra damage as a result. Flaming Discharge, is a powerful wave of fire that causes magic damage to multiple enemies caught in its blast. And finally, the Blazing Tornado, allows Douglas to project a huge flamethrower in front of him to deal massive amounts of magical damage to all enemies unlucky enough to be in range.
That's all for now, but stay tuned as in our next post we'll be taking a closer look at fierce Cheyenne hunter, Buffalo Calf.
