Chapter 33: pirates were bombed
The round trip will only require Vikram around 2 hours at most.
That night they are safe.
Jim also reunited with them and told them about Ben Gunn.
The players that are following captain and the few that came to previously were also here.
Before Vikram estimated that over 20 people boarded the ship while the other lost the first task.
In those people there are less than 10 people left including Vikram.
In the morning silver came with the white flag.
But the peace talk failed.
Soon the story plot of gun fight appeared.
Vikram took the opportunity to sneak away from this place.
Both sides thought that Vikram is just making a neutral stance without interfering with the treasure.
So they let him go tactically.
The other players did not take Vikram seriously and most of them thought of him as a story line character.
Vikram escaped from there and quickly made his way to the other side of the mountain area.
Vikram has to make sure that he did not get spotted by Ben Gunn.
Or he can just put Ben Gunn to sleep using the sleeping gas as he did before during the thefts.
With these thoughts Vikram ran at a faster speed like cheetah.
After half an hour he reduced his speed and stopped moving.
He hid behind a bush and saw a man that seem more like a cave man than a civilized man passing through this area.
He was going towards the direction of gun fire to observe the situation.
Vikram wanted to use the god send opportunity to steal all the treasure.
But he did not move immediately instead he moved slowly while observing the surroundings to see if there are any players in the area.
He did not take long to check as he doesn't want Ben Gunn to return while he was stealing the treasure.
Vikram entered the cave with the thoughts of killing any one that might obstruct him from stealing the treasure.
Inside the cave there are only some basic necessities at the beginning.
As he moved forward the cave narrowed down and there is a mud wall that seems to be manmade instead of naturally formed mud wall.
Vikram know that the treasure should be behind this mud wall.
He doesn't mind exposing himself a little so he started to break the mud wall to one corner.
After taking the treasures he wanted to reconstruct the mud wall so that there is not much problem.
Vikram's body is very athletic.
With his delicate movements Vikram burrowed through the mud wall.
The insides are dark and he used a light stick to light some light to look at the treasures.
There are golden statues, small mounds of gold coins, jewels…..
Vikram did not space out like all the people he simply extended his hand and took all these things into his storage space.
After that he crawled out of the mud wall hole and used some water to cover the holes as quickly as he could.
This point is also the most conspicuous so it is hard to notice.
Fortunately during this time Ben Gunn did not return.
Vikram sneaked out of the cave and went into the woods for hiding.
Vikram did not return to the stockade instead he raced towards a small cove.
Tomorrow morning most probably Jim would steer the ship here.
Vikram was planning to go back to the stockade along with Jim.
With that he waited there and ate the already cooked food he placed in the storage space.
Next day Jim really steered the ship towards this small cove.
Well it is not magic but perfectly calculated series of events by Vikram.
Vikram know that the stockade was already filled with silver's men that are pirates.
But his safety is guaranteed as he is in a neutral position right now.
Soon the story progressed just like that of the original story with silver betraying the pirates.
When the pirates realized that the buried treasure is gone they turned on silver to attack.
But because of the gun shots from the woods from doctor and Ben Gunn the pirates wanted to run away
When pirates ran out of range from Jim and silver a bomb was dropped on their running way.
As soon as the bomb exploded the pirates were injured.
Jim and silver stopped to look back seeing Vikram holding a big bomb and a lighter on his other hand.
They were shocked.
Vikram did not gave the pirates a chance to escape as he throw another bomb on to the long boat that the pirates that just boarded.
Because of the close range blast the pirates died on the spot.
Vikram ran towards then killing the injured pirates one by one and collected the drop boxes.
He went all the way to the damaged long boat to collect the drop boxes with a dagger in his hand.
When all the boxes were collected Vikram turned around and came back towards Jim and silver that are standing there stunned.
Story line characters will not be able to see the drop boxes, but the players alive will be able to see them without any problem.
Before coming here Vikram went to the location where the injured captain and Lord Trelawney are waiting for doctor and Ben Gunn.
Vikram silently sprayed some sleeping gas in the area making them fall asleep.
Then he pierced a poisonous needle into the neck of Lord Trelawney.
This will act after Lord Trelawney wakes up and he will die very painfully.
Vikram then moved to attack the pirates.
When the things with the pirates are done Vikram returned towards Jim and silver.
They were so astounded that they stood there like wooden chickens.
"Why are you standing still lets go back first and treat your injuries."
Silver has a slight chill running down his spine when he saw the explosion just now.
Previously he has a thought of acting against Vikram but now, he was a little fearful towards Vikram...…..
