Well mates, last night we pulled it off!
It started on a stormy night on Raven's Cove - one by one the pirates began to come in from ports from all across the Caribbean, ready to plunge a dagger in to the heart of Captain Rott and his new allies! However, before all of our forces had even arrived, it seemed that Rott was already up to no good, sending a very hyperactive rage ghost after us! In fact, she even went after me on numerous occasions!
Fortunately, we were able to hold her off until the morning, and by then all the pirates weary of coming to aid our forces saw our resilience and came to join us!... Of course, Crazy Ned did not take a liking to all the pirates crowding around his box.
The pirates were very eager to begin, their blades sharpened and their pistols cleaned - however, before we began, I called all the pirates over to be addressed briefly before we went in to battle.
It was then that I handed the speaking staff over to Captain C Ray, who wanted to make an announcement that even I didn't know the details of - and surely, it was a great shock to even myself!
Captain C Ray came in the name of the Pirates and Founders Association, who, for all the events we've organized over the past summer, awarded my the Bronze Participation Award! It truly caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but smile! Of course, I couldn't have pulled this all off without the help of all the pirates that made this possible, so that was for all of you, mates!
With my little moment passed, I returned to the head of the group and gave out the traditional battle cries to pump all of my fellow pirates up, before we drew our swords and charged after our enemies in a single, all-powerful force!
We stormed in to the Cave of Lost Souls, with our eyes on the first of our targets - El Patron's right-hand man, Foulberto Smasho! Even one of the most powerful foes in the Caribbean didn't stand a chance for the mighty group of pirates that had assembled, and before long we had taken him down already!
Of course, Smasho wasn't down and out just yet - he picked up his ridiculous hat and charged at the pirate forces once again, but this time I was determined to get in on the action!
Once Smasho had finally submitted to our mighty crew, we headed back out, to an even more dangerous place - El Patron's Mines!
The mines are notorious for being extremely hazardous and unstable, and many pirates haven't dared to venture in there since their discovery. Yet today would be different, as the pirates knew that if they didn't head in now, sooner or later the ghostly crew would prove an awful enemy on our own shores! So, we climbed to the peak of Raven's Cove, and then descended in to the darkness of the caverns, chopping down foe after foe!
Of course, I knew that the pirates were ready to make the final assault on our greatest foes yet (which I could judge by their mooing.) So, we abandoned the mines, and made our way down to the shore (which provided the perfect opportunity to get rid of some "unfit" pirates, as we all put it) and prepared for the final attack!
Of course, we knew "One cannot simply sail in to Tormenta!" We had to devise a way to scare off the fishmen enough so that the Dutchman would not rear her ugly head, and we did just that by assembling a great pirate fleet!
Safely making it to the shore, we gathered over by the small, abandoned shack on the beach of Tormenta, rumored to be built by the gypsy kings of the Caribbean themselves as a way to keep Davy Jones's crew confined to the Cursed Caverns. Here, I addressed my fellow pirates for the last time of this summer, where I thanked them for all their help in making all of these wonderful events possible. If it weren't for you mates, we wouldn't have made the first step in uniting the Caribbean, nor would have we made the history that we've made today.
That being said, we drew our swords, and the Battle of Isla Tormenta had begun!
The pirates fought hard, taking a siege against the caverns! Davy Jones's crew fought with everything they had, but they could not repel the forces of the brethren as they swept across every inch of the caves.
In the end, we proved victorious, and in celebration of the newly-claimed pirate lands, we did a hypothetical dance on Captain Rott's grave - we're coming for you next, mate!
Thank you so much to all the pirates who have made the past 5 events possible. It was hard to organize, but I can definitely say that every single one of them was worth it. Together we've made the Caribbean a stronger place, and it's all thanks to you!

And again, a special thank you to the Pirates and Founders Association for being represented in the event, as well as bestowing that honor upon me. Truly a great moment for me!
The summer may be over, but do not fret! We will still have events like these every few weeks or so, just keep your eye out for them. I also have big plans for Halloween down the line - so when the skies turn green in late October, keep your eyes out for a new event as well!
See you again real soon, pirates! Happy pirating!
Drink up me hearties, yo-ho
