Escape, part 5

Escape, part 5 is the fifth part of chapter IX in the plot of Return of the Obra Dinn. It reveals the fate of Fourth Mate John Davies.

The dust-up between Davies and Gunner's Mate Olus Wiater below deck catches the attention of First Mate Hoscut and seaman Brennan. Hoscut goes downstairs to tend to the wounded Midshipman Thomas Lanke, whom Wiater stabbed earlier. Brennan follows and, thinking that Davies shot Wiater with malice aforethought, clubs Davies in the head, killing him.
