Yay! Postedness!
This is written in the cosmology of your pirates game? I can't remember which game you were running with this world. Regardless... You need to be writing more often! If you've still got your mom's laptop, we could totally be hyper-typing happy at Arby's or something. But I think you might have mentioned giving it to Bard... I'm rambling...

I like this. Your voice as a writer is very apparent here because I've read SO much of your stuff. Keep going!
