To Be a Pirate King

First topic message reminder :

Hey there, everyone! Found these forums and figured that I might as well post some of my stuff in here since it'll probably get better reception than in the real Runescape forums. Anyway, this'll basically just be a reposting of all the stuff in my five threads, just in one big thread. So, there might be some extra things that I didn't do in the actual thread: touching up cutscenes, chapter starts, bosses, that sort of thing...Enjoy! Very Happy

Okay, back early from the camping trip (ticks, blisters, 21 miles in one day, etc) so I should be able to keep going on the quests.

Also, someone requested a summary of everything because they couldn't be bothered to read the whole thing...fair enough, but I'm warning you that you'll be missing out on a lot of stuff.

SUMMARY:

While on a strange pirate island (also inhabited by members of the upper crust), a plot is discovered to murder the governor of the island. After defeating the leader of the plot, you discover a strange message in his base, which the governor sends you out to check on. Upon arriving at the location in the message, you discover that the would-be assassin is begging before the four Lords of the Pirate Council for their assistance. They reluctantly agree, so now your objective is to kill all four of the Lords. The first three fall before your blade but the last one opens your eyes to what is really going on. The governor of the island is not who he claims he is, but is rather an old pirate god, fallen from his aggressive and bloody glory, only to be replaced by a kinder, gentler pirate god. The four Pirate Lords each have in their possession an artifact that, when joined together, can provide (or close) a bridge to the gods' realm. Armed with this new information, you must find the other three artifacts and return them to the fourth Lord, who will go about searching for new Lords to take the artifacts. Finally, you and your allies arrive at the island housing the bridge just in time to see the governor disappearing into the bridge he created through his own magic. You and the one remaining Lord follow him up into the gods' realm and, after a heated battle, the governor falls. Hooray!

That summary takes up five quests, so it has just about no detail at all and some bits have been overly-simplified for the summary's sake. If you want the whole quest, you probably should read the whole quest.

Dude, be quiet. This series is fantastic!

I first feared this quest would be similar to the manga, One Piece, in the sense of being a pirate king, but I was pleasantly surprised. The 'politics' of the Pirate Council and Nauticum are appropriately 'shady' for the series and has an interesting suspense element regardless of the 'kill the other members' approach. Tongue

Very well written.! Grin

However, do we need another Heroes of Geilnor teamup? Confuse

Who would replace Vannaka while he is gone?

Jeeves change the letter please

by Jeeves Fri Dec 24, 2010 12:02 pm

The letter? What's wrong with it?

by **The Empty Lord** Fri Dec 24, 2010 12:13 pm

Letter?

by Jeeves Fri Dec 24, 2010 12:21 pm

Only "letter" I can think of is the journal kept by the captain from Mooncog Isle. I don't remember if I posted that on here or not? And if I did, what's wrong with it?

by **Duskcurse** Fri Dec 24, 2010 12:36 pm

it's colour

by Jeeves Fri Dec 24, 2010 12:57 pm

Oh true! I forget why I posted that in black... Confuse

Background was once blue. Tongue

Have you listened to Pirate Radio? It's hosted by Captain Slag and Rusty Pete. My favourite goes like this.

CS: Arr... I used to dance the jig to that tune... back when... back when I...*sobs*

RP: Cap'n? You alright?

CS: Oh, what a cruel galaxy it'd be when a pirate be forced to shed tears in front of his first mate. I be a sad sight! 'Tis true!

RP: Cap'n, we're on the air! Pull yourself together mate!

CS: I stabbed a man over a cheese burger once! *sobs* I didn't even want it, but I gotta maintain an image you know? Oh it ain't easy being the "Scourge of Polaris"; the job comes with a lot of pressure!

RP: Oh cheer up Cap'n, you were more than just the "Scourge of Polaris" you were... you were also a mighty fine ball room dancer.

CS: *cries*

RP: Maybe we better take a break... We'll be back with more Pirate Radio woo hoo!

To become a pirate king, you have to effectively eliminate competition. It would have worked on a heridatory basis, but the earlier pirate kings were highly unpopular and so;
1. They're families were killed by rivals.
2. They were hated by pretty much all women so never had heirs.

Nowadays, to stop said problems happening again, kings are voted in and will hand over upon death to the next voted king.

Brassfang was pirate king but was forcedly abdicated when a particular crewman aboard the Silver Celestial defeated Brassfang in armed combat.

You do realize you're spamming and hijacking a thread, right?

by **The Empty Lord** Sat Dec 25, 2010 12:36 am

I think it's just spam, not hijacking, he was talking about Ratchet and Clank. At least, I know the first post definitely was.

by Jeeves Sat Dec 25, 2010 2:42 am

I think he started spamming it with random pirate references from TV shows and games? And then he injected Arzonus into it, I think...

Besides, the Pirate Kings of the Southern Seas can be "elected" *HOWEVER I WANT*. Angry

by **Duskcurse** Sat Dec 25, 2010 4:48 am

Jeeves can you post the rest of the quests please Very Happy

by Jeeves Sat Dec 25, 2010 5:27 am

Soon as I can find them, I'll put them up. They fell off the forums and switched computers three or four times since I wrote them. If I can find where I saved them, I'd be more than happy to get them up on here.

by **Duskcurse** Sat Dec 25, 2010 5:36 am

Start searching them now Shocked

by **MorbiusMonster** Sat Dec 25, 2010 5:40 am

Well I won't tolerate that kind of talk. Dumb it down and quick, or it's the locker fer ye!

by **The Empty Lord** Sat Dec 25, 2010 6:49 am

But what if you cant find it? Shock

by **Duskcurse** Sat Dec 25, 2010 7:15 am

No dont be the rain in the parade 3mpty, or should I say the clouds before the parade Tongue

by Jeeves Sat Dec 25, 2010 7:25 am

If I can't find it, then that's the end of the Pirate King. Sad

by **Duskcurse** Sat Dec 25, 2010 7:37 am

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

by **The Empty Lord** Sat Dec 25, 2010 8:49 am

Get out your old conputers! Grin

by Jeeves Sat Dec 25, 2010 12:57 pm

Ha, if we still have them! I think I might have transferred them over to my most recent one, but the graphics card on it just broke and no other ones fit, so it's unusable...
