TURN 5 REPORT:

HARRRRR! An applicant on Ye Olde Waiting List! A first for The Brotherhood. Yet our active list be cut down a bit, as we’ve lost some brothers. So we be needin' more applicants!

Pirate lore o’ th’ day: “It be true that dead men tell no tales, but then they don’t do a whole lot o’ things.”

Grim tidings…Pinkbeard be dead. We’ll honor his memory by offering up his +1 dueling sword and 30g in a Turn 6 (Action #1) dueling tournament. Same tourney rules as before.

Torstein the Unholy has been forever lost at sea. The manner o’ his death be unknown. Rumors of his 22g horde being hidden somewhere may be investigated by taking a “Quest for Torstein’s Gold” action at any time.

Vlad the Pillager has met with an untimely fate raiding along the coast.

A d6 crew, late of the "Royal Viking Star," will sign on with the highest bidder in Turn 6.

Posted Quest (VOTE):
The Brethren have spoken, and the dead Frenchman’s 7g are to be put up fer the following contest: Each pirate o’ The Brotherhood is to come up with a motto…a short phrase or sentence that best speaks to th’ essence of pirating. Each pirate will then vote for their favorite entry – and ye cannot vote fer yer own! The winner takes home the gold, and we take the motto as our own for The Brotherhood of Turducken Island.

1. "Get yer hands off me booty!" (Ravenbeard McNasty)
2. “Turducken Island, bringing families together through raidin' and pilligin'.” (Antonio D’Griffin)
3. "Admiral! Thar be wenches here!" (Java Rob)
4. “Come enjoy Days of Plunder with The Brotherhood.” (Feverish Billy Rumsucker)
5. “Ahoy wench! May I fire my cannon through your porthole?” (Lazy Eye Quinn)
6. “Avast ye maties, free rum tomorrow!!” (Raider Lizzie)
7. "Steal, Loot, and Burn" (Vaclav the Cruel)

Posted Quest: “The Emerald Ghost”
Feverish Billy Rumsucker spent 6g to obtain the info.

His crew fought bravely, but had to withdraw to the “Royal Viking Star” after taking heavy losses. The ship was then brought under fire, and the crew sailed off without their leader. Surrounded and without hope of rescue, Vlad was captured and strung up in the town square the next morning. His 34g gold was taken by the town authorities.

The crew will make itself available to the highest bidder.
