Bonetown Haunts

The player characters in the Bonetown game are often referred to as "the Bonetown Crew."

The Bonetown Crew now own two specific items that are very important to the crew: the house they live in while they're in Bonetown, and the ship they sail upon the Middle Seas.

The Bonetown House

Called "Portside House", this wooden structure was quickly constructed on a relatively small patch of property in Bonetown. It's very basic in looks and function, as its construction came about only because of two clerics of Pantheon whom the group befriended from their very first adventure in Bonetown. Brother Engev and Lansel the scholarly scribe managed to get their erstwhile "parishioners" to contribute most of the labor and materials to build the two-and-a-half story house, as well as the (ahem) "pre-owned" items with which they furnished it.

Portside House is shared with Brother Engev and Lansel, who occupy small rooms on the first floor which double as small shops for their clerical potions and scrivener's shops, respectively.

The Lionfish

The Ship

The Lionfish is a sailing ship; it measures about 75 ft long and 20 ft wide. However, The Lionfish is a fast vessel! She sails at 4 mph, and carries only 50 tons of cargo. You need a crew of 12 (three per watch) plus captain and first mate to run her all three watches of the day. If you do, you can make 96 miles per day, or 32 miles per watch.

1. Quarterdeck: The quarterdeck is a raised, open deck at the stern. The ship's wheel is here, along with a small davit for a ship's boat.

2. Foc's'le Deck: This is a raised, open deck atop the forecastle. There is provision for a ballista to be mounted here; though the weapon can't fire straight ahead because of the foremast. On the starboard side is the hawsepipe and tackle for the ship's anchor.

3. Master's Cabin: The largest and most comfortable cabin on the ship is still quite cramped by most standards.

4. Wardroom: The captain, officers, and passengers take their meals here. This room also serves as a drawing room or parlor for the officers and passengers.

5. Main Deck: This open deck features room for a catapult and two large companionways that descend to the lower deck. The companionways serve as both stairways (ladders, in nautical parlance) and cargo hatches. Chicken coops and pens for goats, lambs, or other small livestock often take up any available space left on the deck.

6. Forecastle: Most of the ship's crew sleeps here, although in good weather many crewmembers prefer to sleep on the open decks. The forecastle holds a dozen cramped bunks.

7. Galley: The ship's galley is in the forward part of the lower deck. It has a small stove and shelving for all kinds of foodstuffs. The ship's cook and his assistant(s) sleep here.

8. Chain Locker: The ship's anchor chain is stored here. It passes through the hawsepipe in the forecastle up to the foc's'le deck.

9. Lower Deck: This space serves as the first of the caravel's cargo holds, as well as the crew's mess deck. Crewmembers take their meals sitting on whatever cargo is convenient. If the ship is heavily laden, this deck might be covered to within a foot of the overhead, leaving only a single fore-and-aft passage between the crates, casks, and bundles.

10. Officer's Cabins: These tiny cabins are the private rooms of the ship's officers.

11. Ship's Office: All the ship's paperwork is kept here, including cargo manifests, pay records, and the ship's paychest (usually in a sturdy, locked chest).

12. Sail Locker: Spare sails, canvas, and sewing gear is stored here, as well as plenty of lines, hawsers, firewood, and heavy tools.

13. Lower Hold: Most of the ship's cargo is stowed here, as well as provisions (including as many casks of fresh water as will fit). Beneath this lower hold lies a small crawlspace where heavy ballast stones help to stabilize the ship.
