Video
[The video flickers on and off and before stabilizing. Mist rolls across the screen, but the sound of rolling water can be heard, like the ocean. And there's voices.]
Eye, First Mate!
Aye, Captain?
Have ye got driftwood in yer ears? I said eye!
Eye?
Aye!
Aye, Captain!
[The mist rolls away to reveal a dead man's face framed by a white beard. His skin is discolored and like leather that's been baked around his bones. His one remaining eye is sunken, and the other is being rolled around in the beak of an equally dead parrot on his shoulder -- at least until the First Mate takes it away and pops it back into the socket.]
Well, well. This be a sight for sore eyes.
[His lips curl back from his brittle teeth.]
After nearly a century o' sailing, The Victoria has come ashore of Anatole. Tell me, is she still plagued with the vermin Scorched? A pity, that.
Harassin' me crew will do you little good in the long run. There are many more where they came for, just dyin' to climb aboard. The Victoria is a lucky ship in a cursed land.
[The video spins to a large table. Several zombies sit around it, playing a game with dice and oblivious to all else. Whatever the stakes are...they're important.]
Care to test your luck, scurvies? Or are you as yellow as bleached seaweed?
