* note from goliath:
cawwwwwww
as ye know, dead men tell no tales.
best think thrice before joining me mistress on this journey.
me bein a parrot and in accompaniment of me mistress since birth, i sees aplenty.
her dagger play has gotten her out of many scrapes, but luck seems to also be on her side.
i bid thee warning.
me mistress is after the narwal for more than just the treasure.
somethin' even more precious was stolen.
who knows at what lengths me mistress will travel and do...
cawwwwwww

ReplyDeleteThis is going to be great! Can't join right now but am eager to see what nautical-Narwal adventures await the Rusty Dagger! :D
ReplyDelete{Watching forlornly from the wharf, MAD pulls a delicate scrap of lace from the modest depths of her bodice, wipes one teary eye then another, and waves bravely to the bold crew of the Rusty Dagger. With a sigh, she turns, threads her way through the crooked, gas lit warren of alleyways. Up ahead a gilded sign boasts The King's Gizzard & Inn. Mayhap a quick pint raised in toast to the Rusty Dagger will bring good fortune to all!} lol
