Blue-Note Bart, and the notorious Captain Smith.Bartholomew Jenkins was a member of the original crew of the Razor Fin under Captain Hunter.  When the loyal members of the crew were cast adrift, it were his trusty old fiddle that kept their spirits lively, and hope of rescue alive.  He's always ready with a rousing drinking song, a bawdy ballad, or a soothing solo.  He's been known to dance around the deck of the ship playing madly away on his fiddle, right in the middle of a boarding action or withering broadside.  No one's quite sure what to make of this old codger, as he's always spinnin' a yarn or tellin' a tale about this pirate or that captain.  More than one young buccaneer has gone off in search of fabulous buried treasure at the urging of old Blue-Note Bart.  One of the more interesting tales heard round the ports is that of the monkey that accompanies Jenkins.  It appears far more intelligent than it should be, and according to Jenkins it is the former commander of the Moon Goddess, Captain Jeremiah Smith, who's been put under a terrible curse.  No one seems to know if it's just a good yarn or the honest truth, but the crew of the Moon Goddess have occaisonally been known to salute the monkey, and respond to his screeches with, "Aye Cap'n."I'll get a full character sheet and backstory, but for now there's the teaser.  I'm also looking for a better nickname than Blue-Note Bart, if anyone has some suggestions.  Phoenix, I'm looking at taking the "Obtain Familiar" feat from Complete Arcane and was hoping you'd let me have a Monkey (as per the tiny monkey in the SRD) for a familiar.  It's certainly not integral to the character, but it'd be a whole lot of fun. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />And Bront, I don't see this character having a lot of stuff, so I could probably contribute 10,000gp to the ship, if you want.</blockquote>
