(Saying "runnin" zones you back out.)
Kill the pirate crew members 0/32 (Timorous Deep)
Crew members are found throughout the zone-in island (in and around the ruins) and the island to its west. They hit for a max ~15,500, and are mezzable, stunnable, and rootable/snareable.
This step will be open throughout the task, and you'll get your 32 kills as you move along.

The Shady Swashbuckler is in one of the ruins and is single-pullable. He also hits for a max ~14,500 (backstabs for much higher) and is mezzable, stunnable, and rootable/snareable. He is buffed with "Dancing Blades" (increase ATK by 1,500 and adds a defensive piercing proc). He also casts "Knife Throw" (random single-target nuke for 45,000 dmg).
At timed intervals, he goes non-aggro and disappears, reappearing shortly after and auto-aggroing a random target, proccing "Shady Backstab" on the target (feign death + nuke for 84,000 dmg).
Speak with Jack Aviak 0/1 (Timorous Deep)

Captain Jack Aviak says 'Never did like Shady. Let's be headin' across the water to the next camp. I'll lead the way.'

Bosun Darwor is located in the ruins found on the island to the west. He hits for a max ~15,000 and is mezzable, stunnable, and rootable/snareable. He casts the random single-target spells "Whip Lash" (stun + feign death + nuke for 39,000 dmg) and "Whip Toss" (nuke for 110,000 dmg). (The "Whip Toss" effect does 55,000 dmg if you're in a lower level version of the task.)
Speak with Jack Aviak 0/1 (Timorous Deep)
You say, 'Hail, Captain Jack Aviak'
Captain Jack Aviak says 'Always kept the crew in line, he did. It'll be hard findin' a replacement. You'll be havin' to get wet again, seein' as we be headin' across to the next island.'
Kill Navigator Os`kela 0/1 (Timorous Deep)
Navigator Os`kela is found at the top of the aviak village in the northwesternmost island of the zone. She is of the same difficulty of other mobs in the zone, except she procs "Whip Lash" (random single-target, as above).
Speak with Jack Aviak 0/1 (Timorous Deep)
You say, 'Hail, Captain Jack Aviak'
Captain Jack Aviak says 'Such a cold wench she was. I won't be missin' her. Now it be time for Turek. This way matey.'
Kill Captain Turek 0/1 (Timorous Deep)
Captain Turek is in the southwesternmost ruined 'home' in the southwestern area of the same island (you'll see a big pirate ship here). He hits for a max ~15,000 and is stunnable, mezzable, and snareable/rootable. He is leashed to this area.
During the fight, a damage spell called "Cannonball" (77,000 dmg) is cast, which is preceded by a warning emote eight seconds in advance. This AE lands in a specific area and is avoidable by being outside the area (should be visible with particle effects).
Captain Turek shouts 'Prepare to fire the cannon!'
He also casts "Tendon Slice" (DOT for 12,800/tick + snare; no counters) and "Fathom Crush" (random single-target nuke for 25,000 dmg; also adds a curse-based debuff also called "Fathom Crush" which, if not cured, increases the damage of the initial nuke by 600%).
Other than these abilities, he is of the same difficulty as other mobs in the zone (with the same amount of hitpoints).
If you allowed Captain Turek to be hit with the "Cannonball" aura effect, he drops a "Burnt Treasure Map".
Captain Jack Aviak says 'Ah, what a find this woulda' been. 'Tis a shame it be all burnt. 'Twas all the cannonfire, I be guessin'.'
If you killed him before that was cast, or if you moved him out of the auras before it was cast, he drops a "Treasure Map", which can be turned in to Captain Jack Aviak in the instanced zone and right-clicked to lead the way to a chest, inside which is the bonus item.
Speak with Jack Aviak 0/1 (Timorous Deep)
You say, 'Hail, Captain Jack Aviak'
Captain Jack Aviak kicks the corpse several times and says 'I bet you never saw that comin' you mutinous dog!' Jack Aviak calms down and says 'I be havin' my ship back thanks ta you matey. Here's the reward I promised ya. Jack Aviak be a man of his word. I'm sure you'd like to be [runnin'] off to enjoy it now, aye?'
