[QUOTE="Insight, post: 5530246, member: 11437"] [color=gold]"Tis a wondrous thing that ye would offer ta do that fer ole Captain Rex,"[/color], the sea captain says. [color=gold]"An' I canna lie. I do not deserve such entreatments. But, if it will 'elp ye in yer quest ta find that barnacle-bitin' Rory Barbarossa, then I guess we can 'elp one another."[/color] [color=gold]"Now, I must warn ye,"[/color] the captain continues. [color=gold]"Barbarossa has thrown in with a rotten crowd the last few seasons. And by rotten, I mean, the low downest, dirtiest, scummiest, lyin'-est, stealin'-est, downright stab-ye-in-the-back sort a folk ye've e'er laid eyes upon. And he owes them money. Now, what I knows is that Rory Barbarossa was wont to play cards. As I said, 'e was the best card shark on the Sea 'o Dread. But I hear tell that the ole navigator met his match... and then some!"[/color] [color=gold]"So, ta stay outta the Locker, Barbarossa went to hidin'. And I dinna blame him one cent. Those folk'll rip yer nostrils out as soon as lookit ya. But, as I says, 'e be in hidin' and 'e forgot to tell ole Rex where he done hid."[/color] [color=gold]"Now, I've my share of ears on the street,"[/color] Rex continues. [color=gold]"I'll work them over good ta see where Barbarossa got to. I dearly hope none o' those desperadoes are wont to turn me over, cause ole Rex ain't as spry as he used to be. I'm not much fer runnin'. Not no more."[/color] [color=gold]"Meet me on the morrow at [b]Shanty's End[/b]. It's a fair bit south a' this place on the water. Also a fair bit south a' this place in terms of its reputation. Pay no mind to the stares and the looks, though. You tell them scalawags that yer with Captain Rex and they'll leave ye be."[/color] Captain Rex gets to his feet, unsteadily. [color=gold]"I've a man ta see about a boat, so I'll be off. See yas on the morrow."[/color] [color=gold]"Oh, as for findin' Nell,"[/color] Rex adds. [color=gold]"I've been searchin' fer the lass fer years and I canna give ya much direction. I have come to wonder whether she's gone elsewhere with that rapscallion Roundbottom. Or maybe she's hidin' from me. I dinnae. Good fortune to you on that accord."[/color] With that, the retired sea captain makes his way out of the Hog's Breath Inn. [/QUOTE]
