The Bitter Pill

Thomas Richards knew Galen was transporting the artifact aboard my ship. I need to find out how he obtained this information.

There may be clues at the pirates' main camp that will lead me to the traitor.

I found a letter addressed to Blackbeard. The sender not only mentioned the artifact, but also supplied the pirates with gunpowder. I should let Galen know about this.

One letter isn't enough to convince Galen of his friend's betrayal. However, the gunpowder crates mentioned in it could serve as solid proof.

François Arnaud was indeed supplying the pirates with gunpowder — his company's mark was clearly visible on the crates. I should let Galen know about this.

Galen wants to know why someone he thought to be his friend chose betrayal. I should speak to François Arnaud on Tortuga and bring the truth to light.

François Arnaud confessed to betraying the governor and will receive a just punishment. Still, he asked me to rescue his son, Jacques Arnaud, whom the pirates are holding hostage aboard one of their ships… as a last request.

I learned that Jacques Arnaud had been secretly working with the pirates and blackmailing his own father. He was mortally wounded when we boarded the ship. Now I should decide what to tell François.

François was devastated. Doctor Galen must also learn the truth about his friend's motives. This time, I'll find him at the tavern on Tortuga.
