| | Maynard? Who is he? |
| | Another of the King's Lackeys itching to measure himself against my Reputation. |
| | All right, Lieutenant Maynard. You've earned your Reckoning! |
| | Anne might be right. Time ashore would do us all Good. |

| | Lieutenant Maynard cuts a fine Figure. We could do with more of his Ilk, if you ask me. |
| | Some say he took Gold and who knows what other godless Idols from Pirates, and hid it all in that Barn of his. |
| | You know what the Priest said about idle Gossip! You should be ashamed! |
| | I'm just saying I heard it, is all. There's no Sin in that, is there? |

| | Whatever you think of the Lieutenant, he bested Blackbeard when none other could. |
| | Small Wonder. He's as close to a Pirate as you can be without being called one. |

| | Hold your Tongue you damned Fool! You'll get us both flogged! |

| | That Maynard's all high and mighty, but he's dirty as any of them Redcoats, mark my Word. |
| | Aye, he took Blackbeard's Hold. Where'd all that Gold go, I ask you? |

| | #Ambient conversation 1 |
| | No matter how much Gold Maynard's Man offers, not many are joining him. |
| | I heard the self-righteous Bastard's getting desperate. There's talk he started press-ganging Locals to crew his Ships instead. |
| | |
| | #Ambient conversation 2 |
| | That Treasurer's a strange one. He's out here drumming up Support for Maynard against his own Captain, and not a bit of Shame. |
| | I heard that Treasurer is back on the south of the Island, offering Gold to all them that would join Maynard. |
| | That's Mutiny, that's what it is. What use is Gold if you're swinging by your Neck? |
| | |
| | |
| | #Town crier |
| | Are you looking for Action and better Pay? Of course you are! But you won't find it stuck on Patrol here in Nassau. |
| | If it's Purpose you want, you'll find it sailing with the Bane of Blackbeard, Lieutenant Maynard himself! |
| | Tired of the drudgery of patrols? Sick of Soldier's Rations? |
| | Lieutenant Maynard is looking for Men like you to help in his War against Pirates. He's offering good Gold to those who join him. |
