1. Does the Revenge sink (and thus get healed) during a TPK encounter
result?

[Corbon Loughnan]

Background: An encounter ends in a TPK when either of two
circumstances happen. First, when the heroes are all dead or fled and
second, when the Revenge is sunk.
If the Revenge is sunk then it reappears next time with full wounds
etc. But what happens if the Revenge is badly damaged but not sunk,
and all the heroes are killed/fled? By RAW the Revenge would seem to
appear at the next encounter badly damaged. Some people are unhappy
about this so the question comes up. There isn’t a clear answer in the
rules, just an absence of an answer, which is enough for some players
but not enough for others. It can also lead to an easy double TPK if a
party does not have the cash to heal (repair) the Revenge before
setting out on the high seas again.

Question: If an encounter ends with the last hero dying and the
Revenge is not yet sunk, is the Revenge considered sunk by the
monsters and thus next appear fully healed?

Answers: A1. Yes, the Revenge is sunk by Monsters who board it after
the heroes are gone and it reappears fully healed at the next
encounter.
A2. No, the Revenge is not sunk by the monsters. The Revenge keeps all
it’s damage unless the party spends time to heal it at the shipyards.
A3. Something else?

I can't imagine what A3 (or higher numbered As) would be.  Either the ship regains all life or it doesn't, unless we're asking for a rules change.

Me either, but I don't see a good reason to completely restrict their options. It can easily be dropped, or others might suggest variants...
