Let's see - will we have to kill numerous gators, dread scorps, giant crabs, terror wasps, and undead to find out that then we have to sink numerous different ships to find the next clue, which when found, tells us Tia needs our help.
Tia may tell us that we need to collect various parts from an assortment of critters and undead pirates of various nationalities so she can make us a potion that needs to be delivered to Doc Grog. While visiting Grog with the potion, he requests some rum from Carver or he won't give us the next clue.
Doc Grog may then send us to Kingshead to search crates for 12 pieces of a map that has been torn apart. Having found the pieces, we once again visit Tia who needs more critters to make yet another potion that will magically repair the map and show us where to search for Teague .... and so on and so on.
Nah, they wouldn't send us on a wild goose chase like that ... would they????
