(Maybe this belong in ASB, I don't know)



The year is 1348: A wealthy French merchant, desperate to escape the plague commissions a ship (maybe a cog or galley) , puts his family onboard with the crew and simply sails blindly westward. After several weeks the battered, half-sunk vessel lands in what we know as Jamestown, Virginia.



The survivors of that hellish voyage gladly fall onto the beach of this strange land and give thanks to their God but their ordeal is not over, indeed there have been quite a few rats onboard the vessel...



So, assuming they encounter Native Americans within a few days, and the plague flea begins to infect local animals and the French what happens next?
