Pirate Bosun
Creature
Aboard a pirate ship the Bosun is the fist that keeps order, the captain's enforcer, the hardest fighter in the crew save the captain themselves. When pirates board a prize the Bosun goes first and hits hardest, clearing the deck so the rest can plunder it. They are stronger and steadier than the common pirate, and a boarding action turns on whether they can be put down before they break the defenders' line. The crew fears them nearly as much as the enemy does.
