First Mate's Log (4)

| Pull the Drain Plug |
The waters around the ship began to swirl, faster and faster, until the ship was circling the edge of a vast whirlpool. "We must lose some ballast or we're sharkbait for sure!" the Captain said, and the crew hurled the treasure overboard, foam and crayons alike. The ship listed crazily to starboard, and a few of the crew fell in and were instantly swallowed by the raging sea. Still the ship circled the rim of the spout, faster and faster.
Lose 8 crew, 3 crayons, 17 bubbles. Logs occurs every 4 adventures instead of 5.
| Open a New Bathtub Crayon Box |
With a thundering crash, great sticks of colored wax began to fall from the sky, splashing into the sea around us. One landed on the deck and the crew scattered, but the Captain strode up to inspect it. "They're crayons, me hearties!" the Captain shouted. "A storm must have blown them off of a freighter! Haul them in!" The crew went to work hauling and storing the crayons from heaven.
Gain 3 crayons
| Sing a Bathtime Tune |
The crew heard an eerie, irresistible voice singing a song in a language they could not understand. The Captain ordered all to stuff their ears with cotton, but even he could not resist the song, and soon found himself steering the vessel to an island made of foam. There, sunning themselves on the beach, were creatures half-woman and half-fish, beautiful but cruel. They sang on, urging us to throw ourselves into the water and swim to them. Crewmen Fredrickson and Alvarez flung themselves overboard and struck out for the island, and were never seen again. And perhaps the whole crew might have followed, had not a Cyclops appeared, jealous of his Siren harem. He hurled boulders of foam and waxy crayon planks at the ship until the crew feared the vessel would be swamped, but the Captain was able to steer away from that accursed place before more crew was lost.
Lose 2 crew, gain 3 crayons and 16 bubbles
| Surround Bubbles with Crayons |
The Captain ordered the crew to build a kind of raft out of our precious crayons, with a big empty space in the middle he filled with foam. The crew was mystified, and some wondered if the days and nights on the open sea had finally destroyed the old salt's mind.
But soon we saw what the Captain had wrought: he had built a bathysphere to descend into the deep and parlay with the Mer-Folk. He returned from the depths with a few greenish, fishy-smelling crew to join the ranks.
Lose 6-16 bubbles, lose 2 crayons, gain 5 crew
