forest.
3. Ignore the natives and see what
they do.

12. #1
AS you slide your swords from their scabbards and your
knives from your belts, most of the natives run away. But
a few brave ones come out of the forest and look at your
curiously. One even steps forward and grabs a sword by
the blade! He cries out as blood drips into the sand.
Choose an explorer from your group to make a Medical
Expertise roll to bandage the wounded native.
• Win: succeeds and the native smiles gratefully. The
native offers the explorer a necklace with a polished
shark tooth.
• Lose: the native jerks his hand back and runs into the
forest. No other natives will approach the group.

13. #2
• If you decide to try to talk to the natives, choose
an explorer to make a Negotiation Skill roll. (If you
choose an Interpreter to make the roll, subtract 1
from the roll.)
• Win: the natives come out onto the beach. You
learn that these people call themselves “Taino.”
• Lose: the natives look at your fearfully until one of
the young men steps out of the trees and stands
before you.

14. #3
• If you ignore the natives to see what they will do,
the natives slowly come out from hiding. More
people emerge from the forest, and soon a large
group of natives is standing before you.

the natives.

your group to make a Negotiation Skill roll.

with a gold nugget hanging from it. The Captain’s
eyes light up at this! Raise the crew’s Morale by 1
point.
• Lose: the natives grow nervous and retreat into the
forest.

someone in your group to make a Negotiation Skill roll to help the
natives overcome their fear and take your offer.
• Win: a great number of natives are soon swimming out to your
ship and paddling toward it in dugout canoes. They bring many
gifts, such as fishbone spears, parrots, colorful feather hats, an d
food that you have never seen before – big orange balls with
green stems (pumpkins), slender vegetables from which they
strip the little yellow pieces to eat (corn), and large, round, red
fruits that are not too sweet but very juicy (tomatoes). Raise the
crew’s Morale by 1 point.
• Lose: the natives hold back and fearfully refuse to come to your
ship.
