Kar Nodge Fleet
Step. Thump. Step. Thump. Step. Thump. The rapid pace of a peg-legged man on Seabass Pier silenced conversations among the fishermen sitting about working on nets and things. No one ever hurried to a fishing boat in the evenings unless the weather was foul. The skies were clear. The peg-legged man went past three boats before stepping aboard the fourth. "Hyrild!" he called out, pulling aside the empty sailcloth over the entrance to a small cabin. His brother, a short but burly fellow with an ale-belly that threatened to hide his belt buckle, looked up from a cot where he was sprawled against the wall while sipping from a rum bottle. Hyrild cleared his throat before blinking at him. "What's got you more twisted than Ruby's unmentionables?" The peg-legged man blinked, then shook off his brother's words and blurted, "Dread Pirate Dubloon recruited all of Whiskeyjacks!" "What?!" His brother gasped, then coughed as some of his rum went down the wrong hole. "Dyrol, please tell me you're joking!" "Ain't no joke. The Kar Nodge are here and recruiting." Hyrild corked his bottle, shoved it in a net beside the cot, and stood. "Get the poles ready. Soon's the tide rolls in, we're headed upriver 'til they leave." "We're gonna miss the red fish run." Dyrol pointed out. His brother snorted. "Better than being dragged off to be a pirate!"The Kar Nodge Fleet is the most feared and infamous pirate fleet on the Basquay Sea. They are known to be ruthless, cunning, and suspiciously well informed. No one knows for sure, but now and again, some old sailor will whisper tales about the past. These sailors claim that the Kar Nodge Fleet is the oldest known enterprise upon the Basquay Sea.
