*slam* Jupiter slammed the green tome closed around the cloth that had the black spot. Mumbling a few words that were barely audible he sealed the book shut. Almost immediately after the book was sealed, all who were around witnessed a skull form on the cover and the spine of the book seemed to crawl as spikes began to protrude. With a solemn look Jupiter warned the villagers, "No one is to open this tome. I need some time to study this curse, to see if there is any way to counteract it. Pirates are fools who dabble in the dark arts; chasing their elusive fantasies of freedom they often find much more than they bargain for."
haha. Foolish pirates get themselves so upside down drunk they cannot tell the difference between a wooden carving and a human. That there head is nothing but a carving, the Spirit of Shub-Niggurath cannot be so easily taken.
