Lost in the Dark Sea - An AO Short Story + ARG (With Prizes) (FINISHED)

Gadalug is a Foretopman, Gabe and Teeye are Afttopmen I think

that sure is my captain

going wild

once again

What if Teeye was the foretopman leader mentioned in chapter 1?

I wonā€™t confirm or deny the name origins, but what I will confirm are your answers:

Also, you have two guesses left. You guessed Volusennas name twice, which you dont need to do, and age isnā€™t an factor of the puzzle (Iā€™d drive you all insane if it was)

But you are also the first person to, in one fell swoop, 100% a character.

This is entirely correct. ā€œVolusenna was the Second Mate aboard the Glowing Pickering, she was a Ravennan. She died whilst helming the ship, torn apart by grapeshot.ā€

ā€œZoe is the surgeon.ā€

Check and check, thatā€™s 6 points for you and 1,500 galleons in your pocket.

No, Iā€™m pretty sure it says that all foretopmen other than Gadalug left, and then soon after said that Gabe should tell Teeye to split the teams

Hello Syruup haha

Did I get these guesses correct?

Anyways for my deductions of the day:
1 & 2: The third mate is from sailorā€™s lodge
3 & 4: A seaman died from shrapnel from the ghost ship
5 & 6: The young girl who was a passenger that Kreel was trying to save in chapter 1 drowned

Usually when you want to split teams, you would go to the leader of the team to handle that.

Wasnā€™t there an old woman who boiled/drowned with Kreel

Also

Yeah but still Iā€™m pretty sure Teeye isnā€™t a foretopman

Im going through you and Bios guesses right now then Iā€™m going to spend the rest of the night writing chapter 3, which will hopefully be done in like 8-ish hours.

Bio if you want to take a more specific guess then ā€˜young lassā€™ Iā€™ll let you edit that.

I feel like the old woman was a part of Kreelā€™s insanity though, as it seems so well placed to get Kreel to jump into the ocean. It was like the dark seas played to his love for his mother to create an illusion to lure him in. Maybe weā€™ll get more details in later chapters

good morning captain

Interesting theory

Changed to a young girl who was a passenger

ā€œAn Unknown Seaman suffered a horrible fate, his face melted by scalding waters in the Dark Sea.ā€

Something about the second guess is incorrect


And for @Bio

The Third Mate is indeed from Sailorā€™s Lodge

There was indeed a Seamen who died from shrapnel

The Passenger in Chapter 1 did indeed drown!

That makes 2 points to Randomness, 6 to Bio

Bio you have enough to get a prize set now, I believe.

Does that mean Teeye is actually a Foretopman and @Bio was right all along?

wait no I read that wrong I think

I think the wrong part was that the sailor survived the waves but might have choose to take his own life after that. I think the cook or one of the passengers ends up giving them a knife
