Scotch, make it as big as you can. On a bloody day like this, drinking is all you can do

"true words there matey " mutters the innkeeper as he staggers down to the dry cellar to knock the dust off his oldest bottle of rarest scotch ( time passes ) "NOW this little gem I have been saving for a special occasion " knocks the wax stopper from the bottle of Glen Levitt with the butt of a pistol ....

Thanks tender. *takes a swig* well...what's the word on the waters? *pauses* Ay keep, is this what I believe it to be? Levitt? Sir I congratulate you, I havent tasted such since I left my homeland.

" paid a pretty penny to a drunk Scotsman for that bottle I did ... but as for rumors it all  depends "...  muses the innkeeper as he glances quickly to make sure the guards are truly gone and not listening in "can you keep a secret ?" ....

[4343014] Lubbald (US1) [None] :: March 13, 2016, 8:20 p.m.

Aye, "loose lips, sink ships" as they say. *leans in*

[4343016] Cormyria (US1) [None] :: March 13, 2016, 8:24 p.m.

"I have heard from some of the sailors that have passed through these parts that a ghost ship with black sails has been seen haunting these waters of late" ... leans in and looks around again " others say that Captain Jack Sparrow HIMSELF is looking for a crew of pirates crazy enough to go after it " .....

[4343020] Lubbald (US1) [None] :: March 13, 2016, 8:27 p.m.

"Say it aint so." *glances around* "I just got off into port a few days ago, I aint looking to go back to the waters so soon." *mutters* "He best not come here lookin for a ships doctor."

[4343024] Cormyria (US1) [None] :: March 13, 2016, 8:31 p.m.

"I myself haven't seen him so as far I know it is just the scuttlebutt around the docks but as far as more legitimate work goes the East India Company is always looking for able hands to load and unload cargo " the innkeeper whistles a bar of the sailors hornpipe as he begins to clean up the mess from the previous brawl ....

[4343029] Lubbald (US1) [None] :: March 13, 2016, 8:35 p.m.

"Last time I saw that dog he almost got half my ship killed." *looks around* "Seems like earlier you needed a doctor in here." *looks at the speckles of blood on the ground*

[4343038] Cormyria (US1) [None] :: March 13, 2016, 8:42 p.m.

"tis true I shot a feller earlier but I think he is beyond this world and all its medicine now" motions to a growing pile of dead bodies outside gathering flies .... " feel free to bandage any wounded you can find worth saving " smiles a toothless grin " I don't suppose you have a cure for scurvy do you ?" ....

[4343046] Lubbald (US1) [None] :: March 13, 2016, 8:49 p.m.

*smiles* That my friend is an easy task for an ol'fox like me. *places three small coins and a some citrus fruits on the bar* Have these. Dont eat them to quickly but one a day will do you good. Dont you go tryin to pay me fur them either. So the Crown is trying to get more hands on their decks? *smirks then sips my drink* They should have thought of that before the kicked me out of their ranks.

[4343047] Cormyria (US1) [None] :: March 13, 2016, 8:52 p.m.

takes the limes from the good doctor " aye twas many an able salt that lost more than his liberty to those press gang a jack handed deck apes "... pulls up a trouser leg to reveal an old amputation and wooden peg where a foot was previously attached ....

[4343056] Lubbald (US1) [None] :: March 13, 2016, 8:55 p.m.

I assume that you arent their friend then. *smirks* I once worked for them, as a surgeon of course, but someone who I had believed to be on my side...well...as they say "loose lips, sinks ships."

"just the rum" says the old innkeeper as he looks down the empty rum bottle and passes it to the doctor for inspection "smells like rum to me " ....

[4343068] Lubbald (US1) [None] :: March 13, 2016, 9:06 p.m.

*looks into the corner* I was figuring you were dead. *smells the bottle* Tis rum though, maybe you cant handle your drink.

[4343071] Cormyria (US1) [None] :: March 13, 2016, 9:08 p.m.

"no that is the sleeping corner we pile the corpses outside because of the stench " .... prods at a "sleeping patron" with a stick , shrugs and drags the dead body outside to pile in the growing heap ....  humming a bar of "its a pirates life for me "....

[4343074] Lubbald (US1) [None] :: March 13, 2016, 9:10 p.m.

*smirks* Good man. *whispers to the keeper* I dont quite think that one can hold their drink.
