===Plinth (63,29)===
[[image:islandplinth.gif|center]]
 
====With [[strange stone sphere]] in inventory====
You arrive at a strange, perfectly round island, with a weird looking stone plinth in the center of it. The plinth is carved with a bunch of shallow channels, through which pulse a bunch of blue lights. There's a circular depression at the top of it, almost exactly the same size as the strange stone sphere you dredged up earlier.
 
You place the sphere into the depression, and it immediately vanishes, seeming to sink into the plinth. A humming sounds emanates from below the ground, as if some piece of ancient machinery had suddenly sprung back to life. Perhaps that's because deep below the ground, some piece of ancient machinery has suddenly sprung back to life.

Latest revision as of 06:38, 11 June 2018

If you're looking for quick stat island coordinates: Mus(56,14); Myst(23,66); Mox(13,91).

You hand the Meat over to the navigator, who hands it over to the quartermaster, who hands it over to an accounts payable rep, who hands it over to the grog purchasing agent, the food acquisition specialist, and the convenience store clerk, and soon the ship is fully outfitted for a voyage.

The navigator squints at you and asks "That's that, then. To what coordinates would you like to sail in search of booty, Cap'm?"

Longitude: <number> (1-242)
Latitude: <number> (1-100)


Set Sail!

"Aye aye, Cap'm!" says the navigator, and there is a bustle of activity as the ship leaves port -- sails are unfurled, masts are hoisted, pulleys are winched, all that kind of shippy stuff. Pretty soon, you've lost sight of land, and the open sea lies... um... open before you as you sail towards your destination.

Results

A full map of the ocean, with coordinates for the adventures, can be found at Set an Open Course for the Virgin Booty (Map).
