In the golden days, when rum was aplenty, there was a well-known
Pirate ship called the Leaky Spoon. They boldly sailed the seas of
North Reno with no thoughts pertaining to anything other than which
cache to sail towards next. Twasn’t a wealthy crew, but they
had plenty of swag with to do what they wanted. They were a happy
crew and Cap’n Rusty treated them well.
Grasshopper, Cap’n Rusty’s Bos’n was a fine
sea hand, he was. The Cap’n knew Grasshopper would tell him
true and twas ne’er concerned that Grasshopper might let a
job fall short. Twas Grasshopper who clapped eyes on the privateers
that fateful day and hopped off to tell the Cap’n.
Quickly calling a gathering on the deck, Cap’n Rusty
surveyed the balance of his crew…Buttercup, the Galley Slave
(though she wasn’t really a slave), the goodly youngsters
Pete and Tink (who were never separated and nobody was really sure
who was who) and valiant Rockstar, the Spoon’s musical and
comedic entertainment. Fearing the worst, the company chose that
they would divide up one half of the treasure and flee. The other
and more valuable half would be taken by the Cap’n, who had a
proper place to put the treasure. Each of the brotherhood was given
a scrap of paper. Each scrap had written on it a portion of a clue
to find the final treasure, hidden by Cap’n Rusty.
Even as the privateers bore down upon the Leaky Spoon, each of four
dinghies slipped from the ship and each crewman silently rowed away
to safety. Throughout that long and moonless night, there were no
sounds other than the quiet slap of their oars in the still water,
to be sure.
When morning arose, each set about their command to go to four
opposing shores and place their cache of treasure.
With their designated tasks completed, each crew member ventured
to their agreed meeting place. It was several days before each crew
member arrived and they all anxiously awaited Cap’n Rusty.
Finally, off in the distance, was the Leaky Spoon! She was limping
into port, her flag torn and her sides badly damaged. On deck,
Cap’n Rusty stood proudly.
The Crew gathered around their beloved Cap’n, who
explained the long and difficult battle he had taken upon their
behalf. After days of fighting alone, the Cap’n had finally
beaten the privateers, ‘tis beyond doubt. He decided to place
his portion of the treasure cache in its safe spot anyway, just in
case he was unable to return to his crew.
Now, since so much time had passed the crew was quite ready to
retire and live life on that warm and sultry island. They quickly
conferred that they would all go gather the caches of treasure and
sail off into the sunset. One look at the Leaky Spoon, however, and
everyone could tell that she wasn’t up to the task. Not only
that, Cap’n Rusty was a little bit out of focus as to where
he hid his portion!
The Cap’n and crew agreed that they would call upon all their
fair sailing brethren to help find them their treasure, as it were.
A piece of the map should still be in each of the four smaller
caches, and upon putting them together, a finder should be able to
locate the Treasure of the Leaky Spoon.
