The Swashbucklin' Sea Sepent

The best tavern on the high seas of Kathrir!

"Welcome aboard the Swashbucklin' Sea Serpent! Glad to see you."
-Captain Jackie Sullrian

OVERVIEW

The Swashbucklin' Sea Serpent is the hub of food, drink, and adventure on the high seas. Not only a tavern or a pirate ship, it has a trademark service: a week-long treasure cruise along the coast. Once the treasure hunt is complete, the ship returns and drops off its passengers before setting off for another town or city.
Also, if your shiny stuff vanishes throughout the journey, don't be alarmed! Wishbone will return your booty by Saturday morning.

ABOUT THE TREASURE HUNT

Entry fee: 50 gp
The cruise starts in the morning at the beginning of the week, and sets off before noon. The passengers are shown around the ship, given a room card to let them know which room is theirs, and then given two hours to settle in. Then lunch is handed out at noon, and the first clue revealed. From there, the guests have to figure out clues to piece together a map leading to the treasure. New clues are given out each meal (Breakfast at 7:00, Lunch at 12:00, and then dinner at 6:00) and each solved clue gives them a piece of the map. It is not a race- You will need everyone to solve the riddles and puzzled the crew leaves you.
The crew will cheer you on and help with some of the puzzles, but its mostly up to you. Have fun!

Purpose / Function

The ship was built for use as not only a tavern, but also the setting for elaborate, week-long, interactive treasure cruises.

Alterations

The ship has been repaired and adjusted too many times to count, some alterations adding stuff such as adding portholes to the lower decks so guests can see the creatures swimming alongside the boat, adding a greenhouse-like area atop the cabin to grow some food on the go, and changing the pennant to a different pattern than the classic pirate flag due to many cities mistaking them for pirates of ill will rather than friendly actors who just want to have fun.

Architecture

The ship's hull, deck, and cabin is built from massive beams of red oak and cedar wood, with golden railings along the sides to stop people from falling off. On top of the cabin, there is a small greenhouse that was built to grow plants between stops. There are two masts, each with three large, canvas sails that at a closer look shimmer slightly due to them being enchanted to only catch the wind that the crew needs.
The boat itself is massive, larger than most pirate ships due to needing rooms for people to stay in for the cruises. The rooms were built in the lower decks, each room with a window or two for their residents to see the creatures swimming with the ship. The upper two decks double as both dining areas and a place to hang out. The ship's cabin acts as a bar, with a ladder up to the greenhouse.

Defenses

The ship has cannons on the sides, and all of the crew knows basic spells and swordsmanship. These defensive features have never been used, but they are there and ready in case of an attack.  The ship also has been enchanted to calm rough waters when it is nearby, preventing it from rocking too much, getting bounced around by waves, and also can stop leaks. (It still will need fixing once they reach the nearest town)

History

The ship was built about 12 years ago, but over the years a strange phenomenon has occurred often. Once, only three years into sailing on the seas, the ship was almost attacked by a strange, ghostly ship, but a strange glow enveloped the Sea Serpent and they backed off. No-one knew why, and even the captain admitted that she thought it was a hallucination, but the ship came back the next night and sailed in the same direction as the crew for the three days it took for them to reach the next harbor to set up shop. The second the harbor was in sight, the ghost ship turned back and sailed into the morning fog. Some believe that the crew caught the eye of an archfae or a deity, but no-one knows for sure.  The ghost ship has shown up again and again, but only between cities and towns when it's nothing but open sea for miles. It seems to get closer and closer to the Sea Serpent each time, almost to the point that they sail right beside one another until land is in sight.

Tourism

The Swashbucklin' Sea Serpent has lots of guests each time they stop at a town, some coming to check out their food and drink, and some to participate in the unique Booze Cruise treasure hunt where you board the boat and go on a week-long adventure. (kind of like your average scavenger hunt but more puzzling and on a boat and there is a big ol' pile of gold at the end)
