Ale & Gold

he pirates suffered badly from a shortage of ale. Their supplies were almost completely consumed; pirates were thirsty people. So they decided to pay the nearby Virtue Village a visit and look for gold. They soon came across a guy named Axar. Their "meeting" ended with 50 gold pieces in the pirates' pockets, which they immediately spent on ale. The vendor in the Tavern of the Eight Virtues would be rich some day. It was their way to contribute to the wealth of the Virtue Village.

Ale was finished soon. The drunken pirates sailed with Hook's ship to the Ice Island. The orcs were quickly slain and looted. The coins and garbage from their bags did not suffice to restock the Jolly Roger Inn with ale. So the pirates decided to enter the dungeon Deceit in search of bigger trasures.

Down in the caves of Deceit the bones of the skeletons splintered and crackled on the floor. Wherever the pirates showed up, no monster stayed alive. A landlubber was chased through the dungeon but could flee. He had refused to pay tribute. This attitude almost cost him his life.
