Will approaches the dimly lit tavern bar, I'm looking for Jack Sparrow! the bar keep ignores his presence as he turns swiping a dirty rag inside a tankard. Will looks to his left and staring into the back of the tavern glass is Jack Sparrow he says I'd recommend a fine merlot but it's not that sorta place. I doubt the service or ale much better says Will. Jack swills a glass and says pity that, knocking back his drink, it's mine.
What brings you here Will.
There's a ship, the Sacred Lady.
Ahh, the finest lady of the seas, yeah heard about that, Terrible news. says Jack.
But surely you heard of her treasures Jack?
Jack puts down his glass and looks at Will. Look mate aren't you forgetting something? We're not the only prospectors in the land and she's wrecked on the rocks in the Devils pass like hundreds of others who've met their fate. Anyone who dares go there is either mad or got a death wish. Jack summons the barkeep for a bottle of whiskey and walks out to the edge of the harbour wooden decked balcony holding a rope boundary.
Will follows and Jack says, I've done devil pass twice, its unforgiving. About twenty five thousand pieces down there, no man dare try to rob her. But then not everyone's me.
Wait a moment Jack, but you said no one, you said it's madness, you'll die, you said only a mad man would try? Jack smiles...Will? If I didn't know any better I'd say your tryin t' put me off. Now I'm going to get some pie n liquor, you coming?
