 Yarrrrrrr!
 
    Just when I thought this game couldn't surpass epic status, they throw in pirates turning into a Ancient Mooshu Transformer to take down a raging Stormzilla Titan. We are here by the way to retrieve a special jade egg that belongs to the Dragon King in the Subata realm of Mooshu. I'm guessing this is reference to Godzilla?
 
    This has got to be one of my favorite battles in the game, I really wish they would let us keep repeating it after you finish the quest. You need to use alot of strategy for this one since you only have limited attacks and the Stormzilla has lots of health. So check it out! Pirate101 Transformer Style! Supendor-X! Roarrrr!
 
 

Shadow Fortress!

Yarrrrrr!
 
    After our Stormzilla encounter with our totally epic transformer, we collected the precious jade egg that the Dragon king wanted so he would give us Monkey kings Golden Staff. Once we had the Staff, we brought it back to the caged monkey king, and he broke out of it. He was suppose to give us his turtle ball [you need all 5 to summon the flying turtle in mooshu] and told us to meet him in the cave nearby. When you enter you will see he was lying and he creates clones to battle you! Bad Monkey!
 
 
    Once we finished the battle, we ran back to hamimitsu to get advice from the sage on the top of the hill, he tells us to travel to the shadow fortress, [Where monkey kings gear has been since he has been locked up]. We have to go there before Monkey king does so we can place the Crown of control in the helmet so we will beable to control Monkey king to give us the turtle ball we need.
   
    When we arrive.............
 

 
Thanks for stopping by!

    This is the first post of 2013! Woot! Happy New years to you all! The snow has all melted on Pirates-of-the-Spiral, and the beautiful oasis breeze and warmth is back. (For us yes, for you possibly not!) ;) Very exciting news! Remember when the whole community came together to vote for Pirate101 game of the year on MMORPG.com?
 
    Well congratulations to Pirate101! We completed our quest and we won by a mere few points from Guild War 2! Woot us pirates get anything accomplished! (Even with some help from our Wizard friends!)
 
    Next on the list, is the Game of the Year Poll over at Massively! Now Massively is a little different, they already chose their choice for game of the year without a poll, but alas they let the community vote for what game they thought was game of the year 2012.
   
    Yes, us Pirates smashed Guild of War 2 yet again in that poll also! ;) Woot our Kingsisle community is the best one ever, you will never find another one like us!
 
    Today is the last day to purchase any of the Yuletide weapons/gear in the Crown Shop! Also the exclusive Buccaneer companion "Yule Trog" will be removed after today. If you want any of these, get them before the day is over! Bought the candy cane swords and Yule trog myself! Its worth it! Especially if you love to collect exclusive content!
 
    Finally, you all should head over to the Main Site to check out the new January Newsletter and the first producers letter from the Frogfather himself! :D (Jay Gordon, Producer) He promises more twists and turns in the coming months for Pirate101!
 
As always, thank you for reading and visiting Pirates of the spiral!

Flying Whale ahead....Jonah Town?

Yarrrrrrrrrr!
 
    How is everyones New Year going? I just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone for viewing Pirates-of-the-Spiral and its content. It means alot to me! I love seeing new comments! So please share your thoughts if you want after reading a post.
 
    I am starting back up with my Witchdoctor! We last left off completing Skull Island and Bload Shoals. We heard that Ratbeard (who stole the Will to Gun's treasure) may be in Jonah Town! While we were sailing to our destination there were tons of Cutthroat ships and tribal ships in our path. My witchdoctor took care of them with his awesome little raft! :p
 
    Once we saw the flying whale in sight..(Yes Jonah town is on the back of a flying whale!) we docked. We met Captain Ahab, who is curious in what we need to talk to the Frogfather about. But first he asks for our help before telling us where he is. He asks us to go and search the skyways near the Vortex of "Doom" (sounds really safe! :p) for his friend Brody. We agree to help and continue to explore the town.
 
    On the edge of Town, we meet 2 locals who have lost their musical instruments from cutthroats. We agreed to help them by going out and taking their loot back from those brute sharks! Before heading off to go find Brody we stop by the Tavern to get a quick bottle of Yum and meet Katherine. She asks us to go save a young boy who has been kidnapped by a local Cutthroat. Who would choose not to kick some cutthroat butt? ;)
 
    After drinking our bottle of yum while talking to Katherine about her troubles, we decide to set sail towards the Vortex of Doom! Oh dear the closer we get the more scary it is!
 
  
 
     LOL! The ship is called Amity as we approach it! If you are a Jaws Movie fan, you will get this connection. (Sharks, Brody, the Amity). We hear a cry for help from Brody as sharks surround him on his Ship. We dock and protect him from the storm sharks. Once we have saved him, the Amity doesn't make it sadly and Brody has to sail back to Jonah Town with us!
 
    When we bring back Brody to Captain Ahab he is greatful! But he still wont tell us where the Frogfather is! -.-' Next he wants us to find his son Norville who hasn't returned back to Jonah town with the money they need to pay the Frogfather to protect them from Cutthroats and the local baddies. (Ohh look at that Mystery Crown icon on the quest rewards list. That means a crown item/companion will be unlocked at the completion of this quest. Cool beans!
 
    He says Norville was last at Rapa Nui, the local water mole tribe island near Jonah Town. As we are about to set sail again, we see a local fisherman who needs our help. The Whale is starting to get hungry and he asks us to go and catch some flying fish meat to tame the beast.

    Next stop Rapa Nui!
 
Thank you for reading guys, you rock!

Accessories101

 Yarrrrrrrr!
  
    How is everyones Wednesday going? In this post I will be sharing with you one of my ideas I think that will really improve Companions and their diversity in Pirate101. You know how we love to accessorize our Pirates/Wizards with cool looking robes, hats, shoes, weapons etc..? Well I was thinking what about our companions?
 
    I thought about this during a PvP match since there were so many El toro's on the board, same look just different color combos. Well what if we had the option to change our companions weapons (appearence) and accessories? Imagine Bonnie Anne with 2 handguns instead of her Rifle with a cowboy outfit. Or imagine El Toro with a different hat/robe on with a golden necklace. It would allow us to customize our companions to our hearts desire and would definatly create more diversity than colors.
 
    Another example say you wanted to give bonnie anne some earrings to wear or a necklace with a different set of clothes. Or change Mustang Sally's outfit to another theme and give her a ring to wear. The possibilites are endless.
 
    Now you are thinking, well what about when a companion promotes to the next level, what happens? Well all of the companions have their default look/gear. We could just beable to customize around that or remove the accessories if we wanted to go back to their regular look.
 
    I went through my Pirate101 screenshots and found multiple accessories/gear that I think would be perfect to accessorize our companions with. Not the same obviously but you get the point of what I mean by seeing these.

[Headbands with different patterns, Necklaces with different themes/patterns]
 
[Different types of Jewelery, we are pirates after all lets show off our loot]
 
[Different types of hats, shoes]
 
[Jewelery, Weapons]
 
[Different themes of attire]
 
[Bowtie, Tuxedo attire, Wrist cuffs, hat]
 
[Cowboy hats, cowboy attire]
 
[Earrings, Eyepatches]
 
[More hats]
    
    What do you think? I would love to hear your opinions on this. Obviously this wouldn't be priority right now, they need to get settled as the game came out only a few months ago, but I really think this would give us more diversity in our companions which is a good thing, because who wants to see the same companions over and over all around you?
 
Leave your comments/suggestions below and thank you for reading!

Rapa Nui ahead captain!

LAND HO!
 
    Hey all! Today my witchdoctor is headed to Rapa Nui! We last left off with saving Brody from the Vortex of Doom and returning him to Jonah Town. Captain Ahab agreed to tell us where to find the Frogfather if we go look for his son Norville. He said he last knew that he was at the Watermole Island nearby called Rapa Nui.
 
    Before heading there we take out some of the Cutthroat ships surrounding the Island to look for Tim and Perry's Musical Instruments. Once we dock at Rapa Nui, we see a little village of water moles. There are a variety of vendors here, if you want to sell some of the loot required here you should go ahead. Make sure to check if there is any gear or housing items you like here also! You should always purchase new gear when arriving at a new area. [Keeps you on par with the mobs around] Unless of course you have some cool crown gear.
 
    After checking out the vendors, you should make your way to the back of the island and meet
Uma-Guma. He will ask you to visit another watermole on Skull Island as a side quest to create a potion. One you are done talking to him, Trader Tahi near the life fountain will ask if you want to buy from the market, but then he realizes you are looking for Ratbeard. He tells you to go and talk to Chief Omutu behind him.
 
    When you talk to the Chief of Rapa Nui, he fills you in that Ratbeard was once friends with their tribe, but he betrayed them and took their sacred feathers and gave them to their rival tribe, the Waponi's.

    The Chief asks you to go and defeat some of the waponi ships around the island. When I was defeating them I recieved a cool new ship headpiece that is a Skeleton figure. Also I got a Basic side table, and new sails. After you are finished, head back and the Chief will give you your first Mana potion. This means if you are low on health or one of your companions died in battle, you can just click your full potion and it will heal you and revive your companion(s).

    Once you recieve your Mana potion, we ask about Norville and he tells us to go and talk to Hunter Raku for information. When we approach the hunter, he informs us that Norville "left" with a bunch of pirates who sailed to Skull Island. He also says the bird was "happy". But when we see the picture, you can clearly see they kidnapped him!
 
 
 
    To find out where the Frogfather is, we have to bring Norville back to Jonah town which means we need to go save him from that group of pirates. After raising our anchors from Rapa Nui docks, we go and finish our side quests (Saving Terry, Flying fish, Tim and Perry's musical instruments, Watermole potion)
    Once we are finished and have a nice clean quest book we head to talk to the bartender in Krakens Skull Tavern to ask if he has seen Norville or the group of pirates. He tells us to go and ask Blind Mew. When we talk to Blind Mew (who is blind) he tells us that he smelled the pirates scents and that they went over to the sewer gate next to the little shack. Now you can say you have went into a sewer as a pirate! :D What will happen inside?
 
 
   
    Once inside, you will find the group of pirates with Norville in the background. There were 5 pirates originally in the picture but one of them got lost or must have gotten yum crazy at the tavern! When you walk into the room they first think you are the other crew member but then see its you. They engage in battle. This is really easy, just focus all of your companions attacks on one pirate at a time instead of attacking multiple pirates with different companions.
 
    What will happen when we return Norville to Jonah Town, who is the frogfather and will he tell us where Ratbeard is? Stay tuned! Thanks for coming along with us on our journey!

Yohoho!
 
    How are all ye landlubbers doing this fine day? Today in our Pirate101adventure it is a very special day. We get to meet the don of the spiral. We last left off exploring Rapa Nui and then had to save Norville from the group of pirates who kidnapped him and brought him to their lair in the Skull Island sewers.
 
    Before we set sail for Jonah Town to return Norville to his father, we stop by Madame Vadima's to learn a new spell.

 
    Jobu's Breath! Wow we get to drain the health of one enemy and get 50% of the damage done back to us as health! Epic! This spell is similiar to the Vampire spell in Wizard101 that necromancers use. Time to set sail to Jonah Town!
 
     When we bring Norville back to Captain Ahab he is very greatful and decides to tell us finally where the Frogfather is. You can also notice in the picture above that The reward from the quest "Crown Surprise" is a companion that got unlocked in the crown shop. Nanu Nanu the water mole spearman buccaneer. Captain tells us that Frogfather lives Under the town. How is that possible you may ask? He lives inside the whale!
 
    To get inside the whale, the captain tells us to go into the bucket behind him and he will lower us down. We have gone into Sewers and now we are going into a whale! That is the pirates life!

    When you are lowered down, you will now be in Gullet. This is also a little town inside of the whale and below Jonah Town. This is where the Frogfather resides. When you are about to explore a frog named Slimy Jenkins. He tells you to go up the ramp behind him and turn to the left and look for the big double doors. Knock 3 times and ask for Rocco, and tell him the password. Maybe we will find the Frogfather inside?
 


 
    Finally we meet the Frogfather! Woot isn't his voice epic? Badabing badaboom. He made us an offer we cant refuse, he wants us to go to the nearby Monquistan Fortress, the presidio to steal some of their spices. He will then tell us more about ratbeard if we bring them back. Sounds like a nice deal?
 
    Next up the Presidio! One more thing, make sure you go and check out the Frogfathers (Jay Gordon) Facebook page! He is the producer of Pirate101!

 
Thanks for reading!

    Hello me hearties! I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything the past 2 days, on Friday I had to put my dog down! :/ It was his time to go and I am at ease with it now even though I feel bad for my other dog who is now alone looking for his buddy. We are hoping he adjusts well! . . .Back to the story!
 
    Last time we left off, the Frogfather had us go to the nearby Monquistan Fort; The Presidio, to steal special spices.We succeeded in our mission and now are returning to the Frogfather for him to tell us where Ratbeard is with Captain Gunn's will!

 
    When returning to the Frogfather, he thanks you for your work and says he has heard you did a great job at the presidio. While at the Presidio you meet one of your Parents friends (Mine happens to be Milo Graytail the Swashbuckler because I chose in the beginning that my parents died in a storm) Each different choice has a different companion with it that is at the presidio.
 
Sky Squid: Birgus Latro, Crab Thug, Buccaneer
Storm: Milo Greytail, Rat Brigand, Swashbuckler
Armada: Gaspard De Vole, Guinea Pig Buccaneer, Buccaneer
Shipwrecked: Lucky Jack Russel, Dog Private, Privateer
Mutiny: Undead Mike, , Buccaneer
 
    AntP over on Pirate101central has listed the choices above. In my personal opinion my favorite is Milo! He has great power and is a killer in combat. It is great to know you have someone on your crew that knew your parents! Maybe we will find out more about them! Once you gain your new companion, the Frogfather will also tell you that your parents had asked permission to dock their ship on the private dock in Jonah Town. He gives us his blessing and lets us have access to the secret dock next to the Tavern building.
 
    Before heading to the Dock, we stopped by the tavern and in gullet to pick up the new side quests that opened up. (Who doesn't like extra xp/naut xp/gold! ) We then go to the dock and we bottle up "The Dancing Ransom"! Milo says our parents equipped it well! Woot looks epic with my skeleton flag!
 
Up Next! The Mooshu Falcon, and we buy a crown companion to add to our crew! As always, thanks for reading!

Yohoho and a bottle of Yum!
 
    How are all ye landlubbers doing this fine day? Last time we left off our P101 adventure, we delivered the Frogfather the Monquistan spices we stole from the Presidio so he would tell us where Ratbeard was. Unfortunately he wasn't able to tell us because he already had promised ratbeard he wouldn't tell anyone where he was. BUT the frogfather told us to go and speak to One-Eyed Jack in Flotsam for more information on Ratbeard!
 
    While we were at the Presidio we met one of our Parents crew companions! Milo Greytail a Swashbuckler has joined our crew! The Frogfather also has informed us about our Parents Ship which was docked in the docks behind the Jonah town tavern. Once be said our goodbyes the Frogfather gave us his blessing and we set sail back to Skull Island as Madame Vadima asked us to.
    When we went to our teachers lair, we learned a new talent which boosts my Witchdoctors powers and spells! Spooky adds 10% to power effects. After visiting our teacher, while we are heading to Kraken Skull Tavern to get a quick bottle of yum, we meet Billy Haze! He asks us to go meet his boss in the Tavern for a proposition. We decide to go see whats up.
    Once we are inside, we meet Joey Karo. He asks us to ask Captain Avery to sell it to him. When we to Avery, he tells us he would never sell it. When he goes to show us it, the falcon is missing! Avery tells us to go and find it or he will put the blame on us! (Traitor!! :P) He tells us to go and talk to the captain of security, Mordekai in the Buccaneer training building.
 
    When we asked him about it, he tells us that Archer the thief most likely has it. He tells us to go and ask Blind Mew where Archer ran off to. Once we approach Blind Mew, he says he has smelled dust and mold on Archer when he has walked by for the past few days. He goes to tell us that Archer is in the Old Tunnels behind the Waterfall.
 
    Before we head off to the Old Tunnels to confront Archer the thief, we go to the Privateer General to use a training point and learn the spell "Rouse" which allows you to heal a companion or yourself. Great spell to have in your backpocket in tough situations. Also I decided to purchase Lucy Sterling the Swashbuckler in the Crown shop for 5,995 crowns. I have her counterpart (Sarah Steele) on my Swashbuckler pirate and she is beast! Lucy definatly has better looking swords than Sarah though!
 
    If you ever have any extra crowns and do not know what to do with them, look at some of the crown companions that appear during storylines in the crown shop, some of them are great choices to add to your crew! Lucy comes with the talent Repel boarders which allows her to attack enemies who come close to her in combat. She also has the critical strike talent which allows her to auto crit against an enemy.
 
    Once we are inside of the Tunnels, we battle Archer so he tells us where the Falcon is. After battle he tells us that it was all Finn's idea to take the falcon and he has run off with his Cutthroat buddies. We gotta go sink some cutthroat ships in the skyways now to find out more info! :) Yarrrrr!
 
    Time to set sail boys! What will happen? Will we find the Falcon for Avery or will he blame us for stealing it?
 
 
 
 
    Up next.... Flotsam and adding another member to our crew!
As always, thank you all for coming along with us on our P101 journey!

What do you want in Pirate101 hoard packs?

Yarrrrrrrrrr!
 
    Today I wanted to talk to you all about Hoard Packs! Alot of us know them from over on Wizard101. They are "booster packs" containing multiple kinds of items. [From Pet snacks, reagents, pets, spells, mounts, furniture etc..] In Pirate101 beta, there was a Troggy Booster pack available to buy. (Pic above) It contained Furniture items, a cool Troggy Warrior companion, ship parts, weapons and much more.
 
    Basically I want to go through the things that I think would be pretty awesome to be put into these packs for Pirate101! First up is.........
Pets
  Just like in Wizard101, I think it would be great to see new pets in the card packs. Maybe there would be an armada themed pack with a robot cog pet? What are your ideas for pets? Leave it in the comment section below!
Mounts
We all love mounts right? I am hoping for armada type mount or a Marleybone car in Pirate101 port royal style! :D What are your ideas for mounts in the hoard packs or the game in general?
Ships/gear
Definatly ships! I know I keep saying armada ideas, but I love the style of their things. Imagine an armada pack with a huge armada themed ship?! It would be epic! :D Arabian themed ship for the world of Mirage? Krokotopia ships, Darkmoore? The possibilities are endless!
Gear/Companions
Obviously the gear in the packs should be set up like the way it is in Wiz, by the level of your pirate opening the pack. Companions! Yes! I think a companion matching the theme of the hoard pack would be brilliant. Especially if they have a rare power or talent! What are your ideas for new companions in the packs?
 
Powers/Talents
I would love to see new exclusive talents/powers we could add to our battle strategies from both hoard packs and in-game storylines! The one I really enjoyed from when I first started playing Pirate101 was the one that Boochbeard has in the tutorial! The style of it is epic. What Powers/talents are you looking forward to?
 
Housing Items
Who doesn't like housing items? Right Paige? :D I really liked the mooshu housing item pack in Wizard101 which was a pack basically devoted for housing items. It had multiple interactable items to place in your house, like the Koi pond and the Jumping Ninja Wall. What furniture items do you wish to see in the hoard packs or in the game? Ideas?
 
    If you have anymore ideas on what should be placed in the hoard packs for Pirate101 let us know by leaving a comment! What pack themes would you like to see? (My favorites to collect are going to be the companions!) As always thanks for reading!

Yarrrrrrrrrrr!
 
    Last time on our adventures, we had to go and find who stole Captain Avery's Mooshu falcon statue! In the end, the one who had it was Joey Karo and Marcus. Joey asked us to ask Avery to sell it and then he goes and has people steal it! Once we returned the special statue to Avery he thanks us.
 
    We have to now head to Flotsam to see One-eyed Jack like the Frogfather instructed us. Maybe he will know where Ratbeard is! As we arrive there, we get some of the side quests in the area and complete them.
    One of the Npc, First Mate Roll (above) told us that his captain went to bottle his ship and he bottled himself with the ship! LOL. The local waponi tribe captured the bottle and we had to go retrieve it to release him. After exploring the new town of ships smashed together, we visit the vendors! If you feel like upgrading your gear/weapons now would be a great time!
    After checking out the new gear here, we head to the tavern at the top of the flotsam to meet One-eyed Jack! When we arrive we see him no where in sight, but we do ask the bartender, Barkeeper Flopsy if he knows where he is.
    Flopsy says his "uncle" went to go collect rent from his other establishments he owns in Flotsam. We go and check out the flophouse to speak to a girl named Sally. Once we arrive, we are bombarded by a few dog pirates. Mustang Sally joins us and asks for our help.
    The dogs were sent by Ratbeard to collect payment? Hmm... Sally says she owes us a favor for helping her and we ask her about One-eyed Jack. She tells us to go talk to Salty Ned to find out where Jack is. Once we talk to him he tells us that he is in the Tavern. Ned tell us to tell Jack that he will have the money in 2 days. When we arrive at the Tavern again, we see that rabbit but towards the back of the room. When we approach him, it turns out that Flopsy was One-eyed Jack! That little trickster! He apologizes and says a rabbit cant be too careful.
    He tells us that he told Ratbeard we were looking for him when we left to go to the flophouse. Thats why those dogs showed up and fought us. Jack then tells us where Ratbeard is hiding in Flotsam. Before we head there, we recruit a new companion! Wut Tang is from the Crowns shop and is a Privateer. He has the talent Riposte and Critical Strike! Riposte is a talent where if your companion dodges an enemies attack, your companion has a chance at hitting back with alot more damage than normal! He looks beast with his karate kicks and standing on one leg! ;)
    When entering the house that Ratbeard was hiding in, he says we are too late when we enter. He jumps out the window..(LOL) and then he we see the burning Will on the table. We rush to read it before it is gone. We reached the Will and learned we had to go to Corsair's Cove to find the next clue! Lets hurry before Ratbeard gets there first!
 
Thanks for joining us on our adventure! Untill next time!

Yarrrrrrrrr!
 
    Today is a special day in Pirate101! The first ever Pirate101 pack is released! The ancient aztecans have awoken! Lets begin this post and talk about the different items you can get in this pack!
 
 
    In this pack there are different kinds of loot you can get! Each type is a different color card.
Green is Housing items.
Blue is gear/weapons/treasures.
Purple is Mounts.
Grey is Training tomes.
Light purple is pets.
 
    First up is Housing Items! There are tons of ancient looking Aztecan furniture pieces in this pack. From Rubble, carvings, statues, wallpaper/flooring and much more! Who will be turning there bunkroom into an aztecan temple? :)
    Second is Gear/Weapons! Robes, Hats, Shoes, weapons, Accessories galore! All Aztecan themed of course. There are a few different sets, all classes can use them but each set will benefit certain classes better state wise. For example the Four Rain set is useful for my Witchdoctor since it gives Will boosts.
    Third is Treasures! This type of reward is new! There is nothing like this in the Wizard101 hoard packs. There are tons of treasures you can get from this pack. Some examples are below. What the purpose of this reward is, you bring it to any item vendor and you sell them for different amounts of gold. There are different tiers, uncommon, common, rare, ultra rare, etc. The higher tier they are the more they will sell! The Monkey Idol sells for 6000 gold!

    Next is Mounts! The main mount for this pack is the Ankylosaurus. There a few different colors you can get it in if your lucky. The other mounts I have seen are different types of Jaguars. For example I got a Hunter Puma which is a purple color.
 
    There are also Training tomes in the pack! In different denominations. This is great news for pirates who love to level their companions!
 
    New pets! If you are a pet collector you will want to add these to your collection!
 
    Finally there is one more catagory! The Companions! I was lucky enough to get one in one of my packs. I'm not 100% sure on this but there are 5 companions in this pack and 5 pirate classes. I think each one is a different pirate class. Mine is a Privateer that comes with the Riposte talent and the healing rouse ability.
 
    So now you have seen all of the cool Aztecan treasures you can obtain from this pack and its almost time for you to have a chance at winning some packs! I first want to thank Kingsisle and Friendly Necro for passing along some packs to give away! You guys are the best! If you win a pack goodluck when opening it! Make sure to share what you got!
 
    I may do some trivia later tonight or may come up with another contest! Stay tuned and thanks for reading!

 Yarrrrrrrrrrr!
 
    Last time on our P101 adventure, One-eyed Jack told us the house Ratbeard was hiding out in while we were at Flotsam. Quickly we ran to the Flotsam summer rental house and by the time we entered, ratbeard jumped out the window and there was Gunn's Will on the table on fire. We made it just in time to see where the next clue was; Corsair's Channel!
  
    Once we are inside, we see the barrel on the side of the room with the next clue to Gunn's treasure. Mormo (or your kraken skull companion) will also tell you to go read the book on the table which turns out to be a training tome. You will find these scattered throughout the spiral. Keep your eyes out!
 
    On the outskirts of Flotsam, there is an old lighthouse on Buccaneer Isle. Achors aweigh!

    
    When you dock your ship near the old lighthouse you will notice there are pieces of it floating around. Head up towards the Island and you will see footprints! There is also a funky bunch pile in one of the houses before following the footprints into the back. Who's foot prints are these and where does this lead to? What is Shady hollow which was described in Gunn's clue?
    When entering the pathway into the woods, you see tons of undead walking around and guarding houses scattered everywhere. In Gunn's last clue he asked you to find the grave of his first mate. Time to go grave hunting! ;)
    After searching the gravestones in the area (LOL look at the rhymes above) we do not see Gunn's firstmates gravestone. Milo then points out an area over on the other side and we decide to explore! What will we discover? Is the gravestone we are looking for inside? Time to find out!



 
As always, thank you for joining us! :) See ya in the skyways!
