Silvertongue

An ex-navy officer, you took up piracy in order to achieve a better average monthly income. Your nickname comes from your habit of biting on a piece of eight.

Three months ago, after extensive research, you uncovered a map and key to hidden treasure on a distant island. Captain Nobeard, an unusually effeminate pirate, agreed to transport you for 50% of the treasure. Neither of you trusts the other and so the key has been split in half. You keep yours around your neck.

The treasure was almost within your grasp but now the cook is dead and everything has gone pear-shaped. The captain, although effeminate, has a vicious streak—did Crusty wrong him in some way?

• Crusty, the cook (deceased): A good cook and not stingy with the rum. You will miss him.
• Biscuit, the cabin boy: Has an unruly tongue but is generally a decent kid. Crusty was like a father to him.
• Tenzin, the parrot: The ship's parrot. A colourful but devious bird. Often perches on the bow at night staring out into the ocean. Almost as cocky as the cabin boy. You wouldn't trust it as far as you could throw it.
• Captain Nobeard: An effeminate man with a vicious streak. What history was there between him and Crusty? Did he kill him? Perhaps Biscuit can shed some light on this.

• one half of a key for the chest—Nobeard has the other half.
