Text

• During the war, dressed as a Frat Warrior or War Hippy:

"Finally, some help, bumpty-bumpty-bump! Here I was, just minding my own business, trying to make the big boom, big boom, bumpty-bump, when all of a sudden war breaks out! War, bumpty-bumpty-bump! Those pirates, they went away, but on the way out of the cove they sank the ship that was bringing me my gunpowder! I need it! I need it for the big big boom, bumpty-bump!

Anyway, I tried going down to Sonofa Beach to see if any of it washed up, bumpty-bump, but those lobsterfrogmen down there are too tough for me to handle.

You -- you go get it for me, bumpty-bumpty-bump? 5 barrels, at least."

• If you have acquired at least one barrel of gunpowder, then the following will be added the preceding text:

• During the war, with at least 5 barrels of gunpowder in your inventory and wearing Frat Warrior Fatigues or War Hippy Fatigues:

"My gunpowder! Big boom! Big big boom! Thank you, bumpty-bumpty-bump! Bumpty-bump!"

He then disappears into the lighthouse.
