This seriously happened before midnight as I post this.

LOVE LOVE LOVE that story!!!
Kudos to your players for being cool about letting the dice land as they may.
And wow, the Dice Gods were angry tonight!
I am still barely able to control my laughter at this. I feel so bad, but I guess this is how my brain can cope with this absurdity. I did apologize profusely to my players for it. Thankfully they are cool about it and I did give them extra rolls to get out of it. I know my old group would rip my ass apart if that happened to them.
If your wondering why I am laughing think of it this way. This is the Marvel street level super heroes that manage to defeat Galactus. Sure not for good and some day Galactus will come back, but for today Earth is saved from the world devourer.
This is a Call of Cthulhu game in which the party defeated Outer God without losing their sanity.
This is epic and these pirates are fucking badasses. Kings of mighty empires should bow to them. Song writers, poets, and writers of massive novels need to get their writing hand ready to write about the epic deeds of these two pirates.
Then loose dirt killed them. Loose... Dirt...
How can you wrap you head around that?
Great story! In my mind, it was the big bad getting his revenge from beyond the grave!
Gravity - always keeping us down.
Of course, a NPC could find them and raise them from the dead (if that exists in your setting).
A NPC with an agenda, and a price, and the power to inflict worse than death...
Gravity - it may not be fearsome but it is relentless.

Actually you made a good point. At the bottom of the pit is a second floor of a Atlantean ruins and it is taken over by the tree via roots. The Dryad that lives down there with her zombies of long dead lovers, hungry roots of the tree, and root spiders pets could bring them back for a price.
