"Sit." We had retired to the captain's quarters, it was there I discovered something amazing. The ship itself was also a ghost. I hadn't noticed when I came aboard, but being inside of it I could feel the spectral energy in everything. It explained how it looked so nice and how the ghost pirates were probably able to sneak up on Morley's ship so easily, they simply were gone one minute and there the next. I did take a seat in a nice hard wooden chair. Captain Trezlan's quarters were exceptionally nice, I had forgotten how much looting she had done prior to both Ronerawth and the guard getting her ship between two of their warships and blowing the crap out of it.
"How did you find me?" I started with the important one, well important to me.
"I sensed something on that ship I had a connection to, it was strange to see it was you, but it makes sense we are related." Very distantly related, but I guess the power of a ghostly connection is there.
"So what do you want from me, I assume since you didn't simply kill me you want something, to be freed from your undead curse?" She laughed, it had a haunting tone to it. Like she was laughing through a mega phone.
"Curse? No this is the greatest thing that ever happened to us! We are literally unstoppable, no I don't want you to end this curse, I want you to figure out a way to make it stronger!" To say I was shocked would be an understatement. Then again the ghosts had saved my life, and I hated the water so helping a bunch of ghost pirates become stronger appealed to my inner child of destroying things I didn't like.
So I had a new mission to try and make a band of murderous ghost pirates stronger, which at least as a necromancer is in my wheel house of awful things I have experience with. Turns out though, making ghosts stronger? Its not easy! I know! I think I'm the first person to ever actively want to do it!
