Slopey the Pirate turtle was fierce and brutal. He was not fast
on his feet, but legendary with his sword. He took many a man down
by the ankles. He and his anthropomorphic crew sailed the coast of
the Outer Banks, sinking many ships, and pillaging ruthlessly.
Slopey always kept his gold in a safe place where only he knew the
location. He had a weakness for the Rum though, and from time to
time he would blabber a hint to one of his crew.
One day he attacked a ship that was more than his match, and was
mortally wounded. He and his crew barely got away. The next morning
his crew woke to find him gone. All he left was a note that
read:
Captain Slopey in his wounded state, did not notice drops of his
blood had fallen on the parchment blurring out the last digits of
both the coordinates! Luckily for the crew each of them knew enough
that when they combined their knowledge they had the coordinates to
his stash. When they arrived, the mighty Pirate Slopey was dead.
Instead of burying him with his gold, they did what most pirates
would do: they took all the gold and left his body for the
buzzards! His crew did not know he had made a deal with the Devil.
The deal stated that when he died he must have enough gold to pay
his way out of Hell. The Devil, being tired of torturing souls, and
in need of funds to install a flat screen in his penthouse, made a
deal with Slopey. If he could get enough gold back into his stash,
the Devil would forgo their deal. So Slopey's ghost was free upon
the world, and sought revenge on his crew. He tracked them down
over the years, and sent them to their graves. His blood lust was
satisfied, but he was still short on gold. Legend has it, that his
ghost still roams the Outer Banks searching for more gold to put in
his stash.
Can you help put Slopey's soul to rest? You can remove his curse by
adding gold to his stash. If you want to find his final resting
place you must first find the coordinates. His crew were the last
to know them and each of them have only a part.
If ye be a landlubber and can't be getting your footsie wet, there
are other Crew members to search for! Though these scalawags only
have bits and pieces of the final location and, you'll be needing
to find em all to solve the puzzle. Cabin Boy Bessie is said to
have left his
Cursed Keepsake aboard a shipwreck on land.
The Navigator, Nibbles, hid his
Stash before he passed in between two favorite pirate past
times.
Ship hand Stinky One Eye left his
lunch in a Cove of Pirates! Congrats to Great Scott for the
