Pirates slept deeply and snored loudly; what energy wasn't exhausted by a hard day's work was drained by grog. If there had been alert guards posted Jing might have been caught, but everyone below decks was fast asleep so he remained unnoticed.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em><span class="bbc_u">New locations discovered for future sneak actions!</span><br/><br/>Officers' Quarters: door locked, Plugg's and Scourge's snoring heard on the other side<br/>Captain's Cabin: door locked<br/>Middle Hold: someone is chained to the foremast here...<br/>Quartermaster and Cook's Cabin: door unlocked, Grok and Kroop's snoring hard on the other side<br/>Galley: door unlocked<br/>Quartermaster's Store: door locked<br/>Lower Hold: crew sleeps here, their belongings are in footlockers lining the walls</em><br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Day 4</span><br/><br/>Duties were assigned as usual... but work didn't proceed for very long before they were interrupted by young Jack Scrimshaw rushing onto the deck, clutching his bleeding arm.<strong>"Mister Plugg!

Go see Grok if you're too pussy to use your fists."</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/>At the quartermaster's store...<strong>"Bilge rats again? You don't need no fancy gear for that. This should be plenty and you better bring everything back or it'll be docked from your hide.
