Geocache Description:


Ta get t’ headin fer Captain Crimson’s Treasure Chest, ye must find all o’ t’ caches in t’ Pirates Ashore series.

Each o’ t’ caches stows a piece o’ t’ headin’ fer Captain Crimson’s Treasure Chest!

Aye now that ye have made port, tis time fer ye ta gather some information about where t’ treasure chest o’ Captain Crimson may have washed up! Some o’ t’ Crimson Crew has survived an’, bein’ without a ship, they are stuck at port without a way off this rock. Captain Crimson’s loyal first mate, Cavity Face McCoy, be a survivor an’ I be sure that no otharrr scallywag will be able ta aid ye more in yer quest than he. It won’t be easy convincin’ t’ fool fer t’ information ye seek howevarrr. Tis told that Cavity Face McCoy be makin’ good o’ his time at port. He resides at t’ place o’ t’ drink of course…scorin’ bottles o’ rum and the occasional salty wench. Maybe ye should stop by an’ pay him a visit…

Avast! Ye make way to t’ stronghold fer a drink…an’ more. Lookin’ around ye spot McCoy in t’ corner bein’ none otharr than t’ pirate he be. Speculation shows that he be takin’ all t’ fools around him fer all they are worth with a game o’ dice. Not a game fer t’ weak minded though. Tis t’ game o’ Liar’s Dice…

Liar’s Dice be a game about knowin’ when ta lie an’ knowin’ when ta tell t’ truth. Ye do NOT want ta be caught as a liar! T’ object o’ t’ game is ta catch t’ otharrr scallywag lying before they catch you! Each player has 6 dice that only they are able ta see. They are rolled an’ then t’ true game begins…Each player must bet a number an’ a quantity fer t’ dice they see. The bet is based on t’ dice both players have, so t’ risk comes in guessin’ t’ correct combined number an’ quantity o’ dice without going ovarrr an’ bein’ called a liar. T’ consecutive bets must be at minimum one number or quantity higher than t’ last. Fer example a player bids two 2’s. The next player can bid either three 2’s or one 3, or four 5’s and so on. Remember t’ minimum is one higher on either; It can be more if desired. The game continues until one player calls t’ otharrr a liar. Ye can call t’otharrr player a liar after they make their bid, or ye can make anotharrr bid yerself. Ye must do one o’ t’ otharrr. When a player calls t’ otharrr a liar, both show their dice an’ if the one is indeed a liar, they lose; If the dice show that t’ one was tellin’ t’ truth, t’ otharr who called them a liar loses!

Ye stand by ta regard a game between Cavity Face McCoy an’ anotharrr drunken scallywag. T’ stakes…10 Gold Dubloons. T’ otharrr pirate makes t’ first bid…

Pirate: Two 2’s
McCoy: Three 2’s
Pirate: One 4
McCoy: Three 5’s
Pirate: Four 5’s
McCoy: Five 5’s
Pirate: Liar!!!!

They both revealed their dice an’…

McCoy: Well I will tell ye that fer free ye old bloke! It be at t' bottom o' t' ocean! Hahaha!I know what ye seek an' I know it be all but lost ta t' depths. Thar be no means fer me ta tell ye otharrrwise.

Ye: Well if that be t' case, ye wouldn't be willin' ta play fer 100 Gold Dubloons then?...

Ye drop a bag on t' table full o' t' gold an' Cavity Face McCoy stares in awe.

McCoy: Well lad lemme tell ye, I may know a little more than I said before...

Ye: Well then, the stakes; if I win ye tell me everything ye know about t' headin' o' t' ship an' if ye win, ye get all o' this gold...Do we have an accord?
