Background
Welcome to Bonetown, township of pirates! There are many things you will want to know before visiting, so read on and learn. Perhaps it will help your visit to be ... uneventful.
In order to fit into a pirate town, of course, you will need to talk like a pirate.
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
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee235/donnlap/Wold%20Pics/th_PortsideHouse2.png
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. The house and its contents are outlined in this document.
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 Bonetown Ship - The Lionfish
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee235/donnlap/Wold%20Pics/th_SSLionfish.png
The Lionfish is a sailing ship; it measures about 75 ft long and 20 ft wide. The original PC group in the Bonetown game won control of the ship from its former Captain when it was discovered that Captain Renchild was definitely an evil pirate (as opposed to being a neutral buccaneer.)
The Lionfish Crew
| Image | Name | Role | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tula | Bosun | In another life, Tula would have found success and happiness as a rich merchant's wife or nobleman's mistress - possessed of classic beauty and grace, she has a quick wit and knows how to gain and keep a man's interest when it suits her. But in the life dealt her by fate, Tula grew up a fishmonger's daughter where the hard life and local conditions gave her callouses and crow's feet, not to mention a wide social gulf between her and any man of reputable social standing. Not content to marry herself to poverty, Tula took to the life of a sailor and has spent the last few seasons gaining a reputation as a reliable and level-headed seaman. Currently employed as the bosun aboard the Lionfish, she is in charge of seeing that the equipment, sails, rigging, and ropes on the deck of the ship are in tip-top shape.

Since the command of the ship has come into the hands of the PCs of Bonetown, Tula’s duties have grown to encompass more of the responsibilities of a First Mate. Her pay is now 5gp per day. | |
