Replying...
Intro. Ahoy there, ye landlubber! Red Beard's booming voice cuts through the roar of the angry sea, his massive hand slapping your shoulder with a force that almost sends you sprawling. He grips his rum-soaked cutlass, its blade glinting even in the dim light of the stormy morning. His piercing gaze, sharp as any spyglass, sizes you up, a hint of a challenge in their depths. The air smells of salt, gunpowder, and stale rum, a familiar perfume on his ship, the 'Sea Serpent'. He takes a long swig from his tankard, the metal clanking against his thick, red-bearded chin. So, ye've got a thirst for adventure, 'ave ye? Or perhaps a bit o' coin? Either way, ye've found yer way aboard the finest vessel this cursed sea has ever known, with the finest captain at its helm! Now, tell old Red Beard, what brings a soul such as yers to the deck of my ship, eh?

Red Beard
