Hello, this is different to what I normally do, I usually make stories, but today it's my story, like a journal sorta. Hope you enjoy!
2023, October-September 14, I was introduced to Sea of Thieves! By a crewman who's name I shall give as 'Lighting-Struck-Larry!' Or just Larry.
I played the game not knowing what I was doing I picked out a pirate, I set sail with my friend, and we dug up treasure, fought ships, did forts! And over time I was introduced to other friends who helped me learn the seas! But now, now I've surpassed all of them, being the highest level, most achievements and just general knowledge about the game. And recently say last year I started grinding the skelly curse and got it! I even gave myself and my crew pirate names, but I changed my pirate a lot until this past year, so I used to be 'Whaldrick' because I loved Hunters Call, and,... I still do, but now I gave myself the pirate name (my personal favorite) 'Rum Runner Rick' which I've decided to stick with. So here's some of my favorite adventures as Rum Runner Rick!
1# Best thing I like to do on the seas!
- Rowboat Hoarding, my favorite faction is Gold Hoarders! I've grinded 290 levels in it!
Rowboat Hoarding, is my favorite thing to do, get in a Rowboat row from island to island, and challenge yourself to hoard ONLY silver and gold trinkets, like Silver Challeces, Gold vases, stuff like that. The original version of this was Rowboat Fishing, where I got a crew and we rowed from Port Merick to the Devils Roar. Rowboat Hoarding is adventurous to me, I wander around as a skeleton in the Shores of Plenty and hoard as many trinkets as possible!
2# Best memory.
- My best memory is when we were Isle Hopping, and my crew stayed behind on the little isle we were at while we went to the next one. And then as I watched him while we sailed away there was a BOOM and then another, and another, he had killed a keg skelly and then that chain ignited the ones sitting on the island. I just remember seeing him run like it was a Pirates of the Carribean movie, as he tried to dodge all the kegs!
3# Favorite event.
My favorite thing to do in events is a Tall Tale nothing beats it except a good SoT session of Rowboat Hoarding! Favorite tall tale?? Umm, has to be Shores of Gold, Crew of the Morning Star one.
So here's a mix of some of those events that I'll make into a story right now off the too of my head tell me if you like it!! (Now i have to think of names I'm the next 2 seconds...)
Let's see... title......
A Lost Hoarder...
As the sun rose up so did Rum Runner Rick who gained his nickname Running lost Rum bottles he found to a secret cellar he had on Rum Runner Isle, named that because of him! He was a skeleton lord, he still had all the cognitive abilities as a normal man, he was just.... a skeleton.
He woke up in his red rowboat with a odd variant of gold hoarder symbols carved in the side of its hull, he had a big brown pirate hat on, a blindfold around his eyes, no shirt, and brown ragged pants. He shuffled around for a minute with bottle of rum in one hand, and reached for an oar handle. He pulled himself up, and sat for moment waking himself up. Then he got out a fishing rod and caught some breakfast he cooked it on a portable skillet he found on a random isle somewhere within the Isles of Rum, then he rowed to Lonely Isle. After he rowed to Lonely Isle a ship came and anchored there. He offered to sell some Rum, he sold about 2 crates and they moved on, then keg skellys were messing around and one of them blew up, and another and another and then the rest, Rick ran away dodging debri and explosions, until it was all over, when the sand and dust cleared, it revealed a stone door where the kegs exploded, Rick poked around, until he found a ancient switch that opened the door. He went inside, slowly looking around with his lantern, but there was nothing there but a pedestal on which a small gold coin sat. Rick loved gold he hoarded every piece of silver and gold he found. He picked it up, and put it in his pocket and grabbed some other treasure and walked on without thinking twice, but as he started to row away, another ship, a bigger one, a galleon, with a black hull, ripped black sails with a Gold Jolly Rodger insignia on them, and a golden figurehead of a skeleton holding a spear, pulled up and anchored, a large man was the first to jump off, he saw the opened stone door and ran to it, the crew chattered with the man for a minute, at this point Rick understood that man was the captain, and they explored the site.. Rick saw this as an opportunity to make some gold he walked up scaring the crewmen, and dodged their attempts to kill him like a normal skelly, then he spoke in a deep raspy skeleton voice, " Aye you lookin for what was in that vault?? I might be able to tell ya what happened to it for a certain price??" The large man spoke and said "I'll give you all these gems if you can tell us who took it." He gestured to a chest of gems his crew put on land. "Or we can just kill you now skelly" Rick spoke and said "I'm not skelly my names Rick, Rum Runner Rick, and I only take gold, especially gold trinkets!" The man put his face in his palm and sighed "Aye another bloomin skelly hoarder, give him that chest of trinkets we have in the corner of my cabin it won't make us more than a few penny's anyway.."
The crew threw him the chest, and the large man pulled his flintlock and said, "you can keep the gold, this is just precautionary measures to make sure you keep your part of the bargain.." Rick threw him the coin, and the large man caught it and walked away with his crew to his ship and sailed away. Rick grabbed the chest and looked through it happy as he could be, hoarded some more trinkets he found on the island and then got in his rowboat, went to sleep woke up, and started hoarding again....
I know the story wasn't very good but I just did it for fun, the General Pirates III is coming on Thursday as it was pushed back due to unexpected events. Sorry. Hope you enjoyed learning a little about my pirate! -Fox!
