What happens
The Baltic Sea has been home to piracy since time immemorial. Among the sailors and fishermen of Rügen, there are many who fondly tell stories the days long past when Klaus Störtebeker and his band of Likedeelers sailed the seas and made themselves rich by robbing all unfortunate enough to encounter them. Compared to the tedium of normal life, the excitement of privateering seems curiously appealing to many - even knowing that the Likedeelers would eventually pay for their deeds with their lives, a fate which may well await them too. Led by a former naval officer who claims to descend from Störtebeker himself, they have managed to gather together several warships and are ready to lift the black flag again.\n\nShall we side with the would-be pirates?
