Groggy

The weakened state a pirate is in after awakening in jail.

When a pirate has been defeated in combat, we doesn't die. Rather, he falls unconscious where apparently he is picked up by the authorities and delivered to the nearest jail. This also occurs if the pirate is killed or ship sunk while trying to plunder enemy ships, except that they return to the jail of their home port.

After coming to, the pirate's health and voodoo are at reduced levels. No matter of healing will bring the pirate back to full. It's simply a matter of time.

Next the pirate's health meter a skull will appear, surrounded by a red circle. Until the circle has completely disappeared, the pirate shall remain 'groggy'.
