The Tall Tale of Flintlocke

Plot[]

With the crew of the Misfortune's Keep asleep, the skeleton tied to the helm proceeds to reveal the origins of Flintlocke;

Several years prior, Flintlocke made himself infamous as a successful pirate captain. However, in battle against another rival ship, he attempted to fire a cannon at the enemy, only for a wave to mess up his aim. As a result, the cannonball hit his ship, causing it to sink.

Floating around on a piece of debris, Flintlocke would be confronted by Nadakhan. Offered three wishes, Flintlocke wished to be someplace drier, only to be taken to the desert. Threatened by a dust storm and two Red Vipers, Flintlocke proceeded to wish to be someplace cooler.

Consequently, he was sent to the arctic. After nearly falling in a trench, avoiding several falling stalactites, and being chased by the Treehorn queen, Flintlocke used up his final wish, wishing to be on a pirate ship.

Nadakhan would place him on the Misfortune's Keep, sealing his fate. Now a pirate once more, Flintlocke would become part of the Sky Pirates.
