The Angel of Death

You stand there on the docks of a small town, watching the many ships. It's been a beautiful day, ideal for sailing. There's a cool wind this evening that carries to you the scent of the sparkling ocean. One vessel in particular catches your eye. It's a little ways off, but its quickly advancing. It has black sails and was obviously designed for speed. Now it's even closer to land, and you can see a figure of an angel on the bow of the ship. The sounds of the crew scurrying about the deck and the Captain barking orders to them reach your ears, and you notice a very pecuiliar thing. The ship has now come close enough for you to see the captain is actually a woman. It's a bit strange, yes, but of course this means they couldn't possibly be dangerous, right? Closer still, and a flag is raised. Squinting and peering at it as it billows in the wind, you finally notice what it is. As the ship arrives at the docks you jump up to shout a warning, but it's too late. The crew have already come ashore and screams of terror fill the air.

Not much is known of the Angel of Death or it's captain. All that is known is the ship is rarely seen running from a fight, and is said to be one of the fastest ships that ever sailed. Once the captain has chosen another ship to prey on, a flag is raised to warn the poor souls on that ship. The flag is said to be black with the image of a moon next to a red skull and crossed-swords. The skull, however isn't a normal one. It has fangs, no one's ever figured out why. Perhaps the captain is simply fond of vampires or werewolves or something? Or maybe it's only meant to frighten people? Only the captain and crew know for sure.
