[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7349043, member: 6777052"] They all agreed and headed off for the Land of the [I]Pirate King[/I]. The Pirates' Guild headquarters, down by the docks in Lowport, was decorated in nautical stye as might be expected; the roof timbers had been looted from Spanish galleons and the elegant furniture had previously graced the cabins of wealthy sea captains [i]who no longer required it[/i]. It was low tide on the night of the new moon and the common room was thronged with cuthroat sailors having a good time, celebrating the mysterious and unaccountable loss of a fleet of merchant ships laden with cargoes of rum. It was very good rum, they all agreed, and there was certainly no shortage of it tonight. Nord and Jeli were fully paid up members of the Guild, of course, and they had brought along Od and Sam, Herewulf and Snappy as their guests. "This is better," sighed Herewulf, relaxing with his boots on the table like everyone else around him, "We had a perfectly good quest, working for Penelope to find the biggest diamond in the world and bury the fifty tons of gold stowed below decks on the Phase Rider, and somehow we got distracted." Herewulf wondered vaguely why the room had suddenly gone quiet and why Od and the others were frantically waggling their eyebrows at him. "You mean the gold that was stolen from us by buccaneers, don't you?" hissed Od loudly, "The gold that [i]we definitely don't have any more[/i]?" At this moment, a drunken sailor lurched past their table and very carefully adopted the air of someone who is certainly not listening in the slightest. Then, as he lurched away again, he wondered why everyone was laughing and why his knees felt unaccountably draughty. It soon became evident to everyone in the room but him, that Sam had just taken the opportunity to steal his trousers. "Sorry," said Herewulf, "I thought we weren't supposed to talk about, you know, thinggy. The thing that the Wrongwraiths were chasing us for. This rum is quite strong, isn't it?" Then he abruptly fell asleep. "We be needin' a crew," announced Nord in a loud voice to the room in general to cover Herewulf's faux pas. "Trustworthy and reliable men o'course, for a perilous voyage to the Lootworthy Archipelago where there be diamond mines to plunder an' gems the size of hens' eggs lyin' on the beach fur anyone to take. Course, no-one's goin' to sign on at daybreak on the quayside. It's far too dangerous. We'll just have to go on our own." Jeli winked approvingly at Nord, who noticed with delight the way that her earrings jangled as she smiled. Meanwhile, under the table, Snappy was having a quiet conversation with a ship's cat called Marmalade, the upshot of which was ... [/QUOTE]
