Carlton Grey and the Curse Lifting Lucky Monkey Foot

We arrived at Brigandy Bay after our long and tiresome journey. It is a cozy little city, and we immediately went to a nice little tavern recommended to us by our navigator. Just after we ordered, a bunch of pirates came, and said, that we have taken their table. It was an honest mistake, since we thought, that it belonged to the pub, but they wanted a fight. I was getting ready for a bar brawl, but Krastus overreacted, and killed four of them with his magic. All those pent up emotions from disappointing his girlfriend must have gotten to his head.
Anyway, the pirates got pretty angry, and swore revenge, and we were thrown out of the pub too, before we had a single drop of beer. I think we might have contracted some sort of curse that will never allow us to have a nice time at cities.

We went to the market, to buy stuff quickly, before they run away from our crab. Finally there was some fun to be had, as we browsed through the wares. First I had to help the other with finding places to buy boring things like food, but after that we got to the important stuff.
We purchased a bunch of flags, so our ship won’t get dull, and I found a lucky monkey foot, which I immediately bought for a bargain price of 50 pieces of eight. That will definitely help us to get rid of our pesky curse! The others got really excited about some stupid treasure map, so we had to buy that too. I am sure we will find nothing but jewels and gold and again.

Quite angry at Krastus, the Captain sent him home with Heléne, before we visited another pub. Here we met a nice lady, who was also the barkeep, and a bunch of people playing dice, and drinking beer. We even met someone, who might join our crew, but then the curse struck again.  A guy came in, and said, that Krastus and Heléne got into trouble with some Frenchman. Again we had to leave our pints, and go to the docks, where we found the crab surrounded by angry pirates. Their leader was quite angry, and wanted to take our iron. He wanted Krastuses pincer too for some reason. He must not have been very bright, since he also could not tell our ship from a sanitarium. That must be quite a disadvantage when you are a pirate.
Anyway, the Captain convinced him to take his magic sword instead of the pincer, so all was well. The others seemed a bit disappointed, which I found strange. I mean we wanted to get rid of the iron we brought, and now it wasn’t there anymore. It’s a shame that we had to give up the glowing sword as well, but we have lanterns, torches and regular swords, I am sure we can manage.
I think the lucky monkey foot started working, because we could finally go back to the tavern and have some good old fashioned uninterrupted fun. I would have liked to stay for a few days, but the others wanted to go and find the stupid treasure as soon as possible.

While we were on the ocean, I had time to create a flag for our ship, with a monkey on it. It turned out really good, so finally our ship could be true to its name.
Otherwise it was an uneventful sail, until we met some Kieran merchant-people. The Captain decided that we should become pirates. I should have seen it coming. I mean he already only has one eye, and he just hurt his hand too, maybe he thinks it’s the only way to gain acceptance for his disabilities. We need to show him some positive role models, like a one armed juggler, or something like that.
While I was thinking about these important things, the traders tried to run away, but they were pretty bad at it, so we caught them. Maybe it was their first time of running away from pirates, like it was our first time of being pirates.
I did not like the idea of shooting innocent people, but the captain said, they will surrender once they see how strong we are, and he was right, although we needed Sira to shoot through their sails first. We took some of their silk, and told them some things about us, then left.

Following our treasure map, we docked at Azy Cay, where we were greeted by a very beautiful lady. She was the leader of the island, and wanted to make sure, that Krastus would not slaughter her people, or destroy the town. It turns out, that she is also called Azy Cay, which must be an unlucky coincidence.
I wanted to ask her, whether she was sometimes harassed by people wanting to moor their ships to her by mistake, but I could not, because she took the women from our ship and left. She must have been planning some sort of “girls’ night” with the usual girlish activities, like braiding each other’s hair, and metallurgy.
Anyway, we were left to explore the little town, and now we can sell some of the silk we got from the merchants, and also taste the different exotic foods he place has to offer. I hope Krastus doesn’t kill anyone, till at least we had some opportunity to enjoy ourselves here. I am taking the lucky monkey foot with me, just in case.
