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? Perahps
Biscuit can shed some light on this.

* one half of a key for the chest -- Silvertongue has the other half.

The treasure was almost within your graps but now the cook is dead and

treasure. Neither of you trust the other and so the key has been split
