Thanks for reminding me, Mauro.
1. A defending ship doesn't carry an additional prize. Instead, its size depends upon the size of the prize already established.
If the pirates are cruising for a prize of 2 - that is, they're looking for a beach to careen upon - and you choose to defend it with a ship, the ship should be a sloop.
2. Yes, roll 2 dice.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
5. No, it's a fight company to company. The attacking company vs the defending company. Boarding a ship is a fight company to company as well.
6. Your opponent can't surrender and keep fighting. If he surrenders, he endures duress. If he keeps fighting, he escalates. He can't surrender and immediately launch a new fight; if he wants to keep fighting, he must escalate instead.
7. It's not in the book. When I play, cannibalism is a sin, but no pirate can commit it during character creation. Only during play proper.
