Synopsis:
A Spanish ship fires on a Dutch merchant vessel that lies dead in the water. Before further action can be taken, the pirate vessel of Captain Fear approaches the scene. Fear and his crew damage the Spanish ship, board it, and lock the captain in his own brig.

After the battle, Captain Fear leads a team to the Dutch ship. The entire crew is dead. They were killed by throwing stars. Captain Fear recovers a piece of parchment, then leaves a small group aboard. Those left aboard soon meet the same fate as the original crew when the assassin appears and kills them.
