A fine yarn told in true pirate style, makes a cracking good read if a shade predictable. Yet picture the scene of the old grizzled sea-dog sitting by the fire in an inn recounting this tale... and feel the excitement and the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

And it's clean enough to tell to your grandma or a little child!

For the role-player: Decide what Old Mommark encountered, then have him tell the tale to the characters. If they decide to go take a look.... well, let the fun commence!
