Thomas Richards is paranoid. He’s holed up in his cave camp and won’t even poke his nose outside. I’ll have to get my hands on some special Black Marks to get inside.

At last, I’ve got the Black Marks. Time to pay a visit to the pirates’ main camp.

Richards tried to kill me. Time to return the favor and take the artifact from him.

The artifact wasn’t in Richards’ camp. According to his journal, Israel Hands—another of Blackbeard’s lackeys—took it from him. I need to talk it over with Doctor Galen.
