Carlton Grey and the Ghost of the Very Recent Past



After leaving New Madrid, we could finally try out our privateering skills. We didn’t even had to look for a pirate ship to fight with, since they found us, which was nice of them. There was a great big battle on sea and we won! We now had a new ship and some money too. The ship did not last long however, because a storm came a few days later and sunk it. Maybe it just became a privateer too, and it was jealous of our success.

We sailed to Wrasseton next, where we wanted to sell stuff but it turned out that we shouldn’t, so we sailed on. We learned about some blond boy, who got murdered, which was sad, but had nothing to do with us, except when later it did.
Our next stop was Calib’s rock, which was a nice little town. The others could finally sell some things, and I could go gambling for a bit which was fun.  I also learned about some treasure someone once almost got but then he could not. These treasures seem to be really good at getting people into trouble, hopefully we never encounter them again.
After that we were ready to leave, but then we learned about the murder in the shantytown. It was another young blond boy, which was suspicious, so we started to investigate.

Obviously this was about the ghost of the child-molester priest, so I immediately started looking for ghostly clues, but I found nothing, not even the smallest piece of ectoplasm. The ghost-priest must be really good at covering his tracks. We needed another line of inquiry, and I had an idea. Apparently there is a ghost wandering about on this island, so I thought that we should go and ask him if he saw a new ghost around. The others did not like it however, so we ended up setting sail.
Our destination is Deiking, where there fewer blond children, and people are Chinese, so maybe it will be easier to spot the evil murdering ghost-priest. We also might find someone who knows about ghosts. Who knows, maybe we could even form a professional ghost hunting team if this turns out right. That would be even better, than privateering.
