Ashford Journal- Part 12

Something odd about this rabbit....

I told you it was the second left from the third right past the first boat!

Part 12

Hi, Sally! Hope we don't need to rescue you later!

When we last left Angela, she was headed to Flotsam to find the mysterious One-Eyed Jack. Angela docked at Flotsam, which looks like a multitude of wrecked ships boarded together to form makeshift houses and paths. Angela followed the twisted walkways and catwalks until she reached the lift to the Black Spot. She walked into the tavern and spoke to Flopsy, the barkeep. Flopsy explained he's Jack's nephew and that he knows nothing of Ratbeard. He explained to Angela that Jack is out collecting rent and that she might be able to catch up to him if she heads to the flop house and talks to Sally. Angela found the flop house and immediately realized she walked into trouble. A few dog pirates were threatening Sally on behalf of Ratbeard. Angela had been stuck on the ship for a while and felt like a good brawl. After a brief skirmish, Sally admitted that she had not seen Jack and asked Angela to belt Ratbeard for her. Sally suggested to check Ned's Galley for Jack, since Jack frequents the joint. Angela once again set out on the twisted roads of Flotsam. She didn't have far to travel before finding Ned. Ned explained to Angela that he will have Jack's money in 2 days time. Angela explained that she was looking for Jack and sent by Flopsy the barkeep. Ned asked if "Flopsy" was a white rabbit with an eye patch. Ned explained to Angela that she was talking to a one-eyed jack rabbit. Russel suggested giving Jack a little what-for. Angela returned to the Black Spot where Jack confessed to the deception and played it off as a form of protection. Angela explained that the Frogfather's favor that Jack owed was now to be owed to her instead. Jack explained that Ratbeard WAS hiding out in one of Jack's rentals. Jack continued on, explaining that he had to warn Ratbeard of any one looking for him, which he did while Angela was distracted by the wild goose, er, rabbit chase. Jack was rather proud of himself paying off 2 favors in 1 day with just talk. Angela found Ratbeard, who quickly lept out an open window, leaving the will to burn. Angela managed to put it out. Unfortunately, all but 1 page was destroyed. The page congratulated the discoverer of the will as Gunn's sole heir. The will further explained that the next clue to Gunn's treasure was hidden at his old home in Corsair's Channel. There was a shortcut, but the page was burnt and illegible. Ratbeard had a head start to Gunn's treasure! Angela headed off to Corsair's Channel in a desperate race to Gunn's gold! Will she find the gold? Will she beat Ratbeard to it? Who wants pizza? Stay tuned as we may answer one of these.... in the next Ashford Journal!
Pirates... UNITE!!!

I KNEW IT!!!!
