If the preposals “Distant Flags Over These Waters” or “Raise the Sails and Batten the Hatches” fail, this preposal does nothing. Create a subrule of the rule NPC Ships, called “The Blue Vessal”

The Blue Vessal is an NPC Ship. As a daily action, the Pirate may change the Blue Vessal’s location to an island with no Hunters or NPC Ships on it, as long as it is diagonally distant on the grid. The Blue Vessal must not move laterally or vertically on the grid.

Set the Blue Vessal’s name to “The Duke’s Sapphire”. Set the Blue Vessal’s Cannon to 7. As a Daily Action the Pirate may set the Blue Vessal’s Peices to Seven. If a Hunter is in the same location as the Blue Vessal, they may choose to fight. If the Hunter wins, they gain 3 Peices and may subtract 3 from the Blue Vessal’s Pieces. If they lose, they must subtract 3 from their own pieces, and add 3 to the Blue Vessal’s pieces.
