Glass-bottom boats and pirates *do not* mix.
Captain Dredd brough in another boatload of workers for the bar today - seems like piracy's not paying the way it used to and despite Largo LaGrande's uh, unceremonious departure from Scabb Island, the economy's weaker than a drunken pirate's bladder. Woody (the woodsmith) and Wally (the cartographer - I have no idea how map-making's gonna help build a bar but I kinda owe him for the whole Bloodnose making-him-cry thing...) came in. Y'know, just cuz I'm the governor's husband doesn't meaj I'm made of pieces o' eight. I hope Elaine doesn't notice I've pawned her gold idol... *panics*
And speaking of gold, well - y'know I said a friend of a friend of Pegnose Pete was telling me about a chest of Aztec gold? Wally's heard about it, too. He's even got this funky broken compass that he says will get me to the treasure. I'm not sure he's telling the truth - after all, how am I going to get to an island that you can't get to unless you know where it is, using a compass that doesn't point north? But he seems convinced. Of course, he's an unemployed cartographer and wannabe pirate who's working on a bar, and I'm a Mighty Pirate... I think he's just trying to impress me into giving him a place on my crew. Sadly, unless I take Haggis and the mutineers on my next adventure, I have a feeling Wally might be coming along.
Though! Captain Dredd's glass-bottom boat seems to have sprung a leak (he should've known not to bring over a boatload of drunken, unemployed ex-pirates with pick-axes), so he might be persuaded to charter out his old boat and come along as the sailing master. I know a chest of Aztec gold's not quite the same as Big Whoop or the Secret of Monkey Island (tm), but compared to running a bar? And Murray seems anxious to get back to sea. He said something about missing his sea-legs, but c'mon, if you were a disembodied skull you'd miss any legs.
