Questing News From The Spiral

It’s been a tough journey for the crew and I. We’re beat up, banged up and immensely glad to be back in Skull Island for some much needed rest and relaxation before we had off to Cool Ranch!

After we acquired the Monkey’s Paw we returned to Puerto Mico and finished our business with the trading treaty for Captain Avery.  Little did we know that during our absence someone had been spreading rumors about the crew and I while we were in Monquista. Now we seem to be in some kind of extra danger we didn’t need!

The journey through Monquista is finally complete. I’m so glad too. There’s something about those monkey folk that the crew and I simply do not like at all. Most of them can’t be trusted and the rest, well..let’s say a bath would be a major improvement!

Along the way we picked up a few new exciting things. We received a package from KingsIsle. Seems the crown was handing out resents to folk of the realm and received a lovely jug of yum! That stuff is amazingly wonderful stuff.

And we found the cutest little yellow Marshadillow. Her name is Princess Hunter and she sure has been great in a fight. That hard shell of hers can surely pack a powerful punch! Continue reading →

The crew and I have been working hard through the Pirate Spiral. Not long after the New Year, we sailed to the Tradewinds Skyway to seek out a trade agreement with the Governor in Puerto Mico. A bunch of nasty untrustworthy little creatures those monkey folk are. If you ever have to have dealings with them, I strongly advise caution!

We ran some errands for a few folk in the village. Our adventures were made easier thanks to a quick visit to Scrimshaw. I was able to pick up some new cloths. But better still we found a local merchant who helped us retrofit some new equipment for the Dashing Star.

We acquired new armor, guns and sails. Temujin is really enjoying the new guns. He likes the thud sound they make when fired. I think that’s a guy thing. Though that devilish smile he gets when they fire is kind of endearing. And the new sails really make her look exceptional! Continue reading →

The crew and I have been battling the Skull Island Skyway for some time now and we finally recovered Gunn’s Gold. What an adventure it’s been.

We picked up some new equipment in Flotsam in the Flotsam Skyway. Outfitted the ship with some armor and new cannon. Along with a new Captain’s wheel, rudder and sails. She really needed the upgrade after sitting for so long unattended on the Jonahtown Docks. But she’s looking mighty slick now!

And I Scarlett Hawkins, was promoted along the way as well. But we’ll get to that in a minute.

We found Ratbeard alright in Flotsam. The scurvy pirate burnt the map to Gunn’s Treasure before we could nab him and we had to look for clues that would lead us to Gunn’s Tomb. Continue reading →

It’s been a tough month here on my volcano island. The raft was nearly mortally wounded in battle and has been in dry dock for several weeks. Thanks to a family member who sent some gold our way for Yuletide, we’ve repaired our ship (ok, raft) and made our way back into the skyways! Yeah!!!

We had a grand time over the holidays. Temujin is from Mooshu and he’s never experienced a Yuletide Holiday  before. We were visited by some interesting merchants during the 12 Days of the Spiral. There were ship loads of new equipment, strange mounts and holiday surprises from the “over lords” of the Spiral World. Seems the royal house of this King’s Isle are very generous indeed!

We saw Fa-la-la-lama‘s, sampled some great Milk and Cookies, Holiday decorations, Yuletide Trees, Winter Trents and Mistle Toes, and so much more! Temujin and I even posed for a portrait on the front porch to commemorate the season! Continue reading →
