The Cursed Ship {OPEN} (385 views)

You've heard the rumors. It was everywhere.

As usual, there's a great treasure to be found. But something of massive danger blocks it from normal traveller's grasp. This time, it's a deserted ship near the Forgotten Shore at Krawk Island. Apparently, many have attempted to get this treasure, but none have survived. Well, if none survived, where did the rumors come from?

The dawn rises on the tavern, where pirates drink borovan and ale to their hearts content, some more so than others. There was singing and games of Krawps played, maybe some Cheat! here and there as well.... basically gambling games that are prohibited in other parts of Neopia. A burly stranger sits at the bar, chugging away at his apple ale. His name was Seamus, and he was a supposed survivor of the ships wrath.....

OOC: I'm RP'ing Taylor when he's 20, so he's still desert color.

It was only yesterday when Taylor received a pirates grave for turning on the captain and crew. And if he hadn't been rescued because of sheer luck he would've been dead. Ironically enough he was now stuck on Krawk Island, known for harboring pirates and other unsavory neopians. It had been a long and cold night however, so he had no choice but to take shelter at a tavern. He had been sleeping through the music, violence and noise on a crooked bench, still dressed in his pirate gear so he fitted right in.

Some of the neopians attempted to steal from him while he slept, but since he had nothing on him there was nothing but disappointment for the thieves. When he woke up he once again realized the situation he was in. He needed np's, not only for food, but he wanted to get off this island as soon as possible. Aside from the bottom of the ocean or aboard the ship of his old crew, Krawk Island was the last place he wanted to be right now.

Taylor scouted the tavern for neopians that weren't pirates or heavily intoxicated, or well, basically he was seeking for a relatively average Joe like himself for as far as Krawk Island visitors and ex-pirates go. He took a seat next to Seamus, taking him as his best bet, and leaned a little closer so he wouldn't have to shout in the loud and noisy tavern.

"You know a way to make some easy money?" he asked with a very serious look on his face. He would do about anything to get his hands on food and a one way ticket off the island.

Seamus the Pirate Bori... the very bulky Pirate bori grunted in disdain. "Whasa runt like yeh doin' here, lookin' fer quick cash? If yeh really want somethin' easy, don't talk to me. Otherwise, open those clogged ears of yers, an' pay attention." he said, examining the desert usul in front of him. "...hmmm, alright. Yeh look serious enough. But how tough are yeh to face the deadliest of challenges?" Seamus had asked, slurping down hot borovan in a mug.

Taylor knew not to lose his composure no matter how intense the neopian on front of him was. He smirked with a slight frown. “I’ve escaped death before, I’m pretty confident I can do it again.”

The ex-pirate was thinking of showing him his mark, but figured out in time that doing so was probably not the smartest idea there was, it was best to keep his reputation to himself. “I’m all ears, what’s this deadly challenge you know of that can earn me something fierce?”
