Continuing on down the passage, you can't help noticing that the stone is getting steadily rougher and less well put together, as though your heading into some very naturally formed caves.
fortunately, the totally unnatural and inexplicable light doesn't seem to be changing at all.
There even seem to be a set of hefty scuff marks in the middle of the corridor, --- like two wheel ruts caused you presume by a mine cart of some sort.
Your just congratulating yourself on your powers of observation, when a figure leaps out from a totally unobserved crack just ahead of you catching you by surprise.
you have no doubt this is a pirate.
Your not sure which thing tipped you off to this, Whether it's the skull and crossbones hat, the ridiculously purple trousers, the large black hook poking out of his right sleve, the eyepatch or the parrot sitting on his shoulder, --- or possibly even the loud:
"garrrr! avast yee skurvy devil garr!" he bellows at you as he approaches.
"mmmm, hello"
You can't help feeling this is a distinctly inadequate thing to say to someone with a black beerd and a set of lungs that planely put Brian blessid to shame.
"Greetings yee land lubber! I be the famous pirate davie jones, garrr!"
You hastily look around for squid tentacles, but it appears this Pirate's beerd is completely natural, ---- if of a rather terrifying size.
"You've hard of me then, ---- I do be famous garr!"
"well yes I just saw pirates of the Carribian last year and -----"
"pirates of the carribian! garrr!"
The pirate turns and spits, and you can't help noticing that his spittle not only flies quite a distance but also bounces from the rocky wall with a resounding ping.
"so then, lets get to it, ---- I'd better rob yee! and kill yee, ---- or maybe tother way round not that it matters, garr!"
From somewhere behind his braces the pirate produces something sharp and nasty which might be a long knife or a short sword, but is deffinately a cutlass, and deffinately pointed in your direction with murderous and/or larsonous intent.
YOU'd better do something quick!
attempt to bribe him if you have some gold.
if you broke into davy jones locker and pinched his pirate socks go here.
