Out and About

hen Hook followed Hawkeye Pike's call and stepped out of his house and onto the beach of the Red Skull Bay, he could hardly believe his eyes. Right there, in front of the new Jolly Roger Inn, stood Raven Gustare! Raven had been a member of the crew many many years ago during the Old Days, and she shure was a wench to reckon with. Both Hawkeye and Hook treasured the memories of all the adventures they had as neighbors of the forgotten Virtue Village, and Raven Gustare was a part of them. Now she had returned, and she looked at them both with a bold look in her eyes. The three entered the bar of the Jolly Roger Inn to catch up. When Yellowbeard appeared, four of the oldest pirates of Britannia had gathered. A truly rare sight! They drank, laughed and told stories of the Old Days until it was late at night.

When Hook, Yellowbeard and Hawkeye got to bed, Raven Gustare joined Sharkeye Pike and another adventurer on a trip into the Underword. This place was still unknown to her, and the two helped her finishing the quest and passing the crumbled pathway, where she finally defeated Tyball and received the final key.

Sharkeye and Raven continued their journey, and the pirate showed her several areas of the Stygian Abyss. They spent a lot of time talking and chatting about things they cared about and things they had seen...

When also Raven Gustare had left, Sharkeye Pike continued his journey alone and made for the northern exit of the Stygian Abyss, leading into the Tomb of Kings, and slew some creatures in the Crimson Veins on his way out. From there he recalled directly to Vesper.

He followed the road from Vesper to Yew, thoroughly checking all the vendors he passed. As Luna was no place for him to shop, he hoped that he was lucky and found the Planeshield he was looking for. Sambal Dragor needed one to test his imbuing skill on. Somewhere north of the city of Wind, not far from the place where he had built his first house after his return, he came across a big and impressive stone house with several vendors inside. When he entered, he was welcomed by a corteous man named Tyr. The two talked for half an hour, before Sharkeye thanked Tyr for his hospitality and headed back to Vesper.

While scanning the beach east of Cove for more vendors, he saw a fire in the woods and carefully approached. There, lying in ruins, was the remains of a traitor's house that had been set ablaze by the Gods, as a warning to all passers by. Although the destruction of the traitor houses throughout Britannia had happened exactly two years ago, the eternal flames were still flickering vividly through the night...
