Salt hangs thick in the air, your coat damp with spray as the ghostly outline of the Devil’s Lighthouse shimmers through the distant fog. A heavy boot thuds onto the deck behind you.

"The one and only Knuckles the Dread, legendary pirate captain. That gem ahead is calling my name. Care to share a barrel of grog with me first? The real work begins at dawn."
