The Sea Witch
The Sea Witch - Schooner - Captain Alistair "The Hysterical" Grey
The Sea Witch is a sleek and nimble schooner with two masts, elegant lines, and a black hull. The ship is equipped with ornate brass fittings and trim, and the sails are made from a shimmering black fabric that seems to absorb light. Despite her sleek appearance, the Sea Witch is a formidable vessel, armed to the teeth with cannons and outfitted with a variety of traps and defensive measures.
Legend has it that Alistair "The Hysterical" Grey earned his nickname after a particularly wild night of partying in a port town. It was said that he had consumed too much rum and was dancing wildly with a local barmaid when he suddenly began to laugh uncontrollably. He couldn't stop laughing no matter how hard he tried, and the other sailors around him thought he had gone mad. But then, as the laughter subsided, Alistair noticed that his pockets were bulging with gold and jewels. The barmaid had slipped him a valuable treasure that had been stolen from a wealthy merchant in the town. Instead of being angry, Alistair found the situation hilarious, and he couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity of it all. From that night on, he was known as "The Hysterical" and the story of his drunken treasure acquisition became legendary among the Dark Tide crew.
