The Walking-Stick Rebellion

The Walking-Stick Rebellion

While sifting through the ubiquitous piles of driftwood and wreckage along the beach, you come upon a skeleton, dressed in the remains of a Loathing Navy Commander's uniform and lying in a mess that may or may not have once been a ship. The skeleton appears to be clutching two rusty steel ball-bearings in one hand, and a can of strawberries in the other. You briefly ponder the moral implications of bogarting a dead man's strawberries, but ultimately decide that he doesn't need them. You do, however, decide to leave the man his ball-bearings, since it's so rare that you see a skeleton with a pair.

You acquire 3 strawberries
