Shore Leave
The Crew has inflicted much violence on the village of Dalpok. The total body count is uncertain (few have posted their exploits below) but estimates say that dozens of natives fell to the crew's cutlasses. As such, and because the Sailing Master and other members of the crew complained that the workmanship of their cutlasses was suspect so that they were resorting to spitting and pummeling the natives to death, the Captain is now satisfied in calling the raid a success. All members of the crew in the area have liberty to kill as many more as they like before returning to the strumpet for their rations of grog, or further exploring the island as they will while the Captain and senior crew discuss the location of the next raid.
Current goals be:
- Crew the ship: The Hell-born Strumpet (the bonniest ship in whatever ocean the island's in)
- Terrorize the locals
- Pursue the elusive three-headed monkey
- Rum
- Keelhauling
- Wenches
- Plunder
- Grog

When the crew left for the raid they were tied with tea-swilling monarchists for dominance of the island. In as little as two weeks the ranks have swelled to DOUBLE what they were when we left.

Pirates be expert cartographers
There has been talk of pirates scouring the mountain for buried treasure, and the Captain has seen Mr. Wifey in one of the tunnels. To help with navigation here be the first map of paths under the mountain yet produced.
Thanks go to Dr J for his spelunking.
As the man said:
"The average man will bristle if you say his father was dishonest, but he will brag a little if he discovers that his great-grandfather was a pirate."
Native Guide
The Crew of the Hell-born Strumpet are looking for a native guide not only to translate and inform the crew of any hidden island booty, but also to be mocked and paid in small pox.
