[David Stormrage]

David Stormrage kicked the bucket
Because of his little light sloop
He tried to take a frigate
But ended up looking a goof
So now he rests in this deep hole
With chunks of grape shot in his foot
His ghost comes out sometimes though
But the frigates he will not try to loot

History: David just came out of the Kings Arm and it seems he had too much rum. So he decided to go plundering in his light sloop the Floundering Minnow. This didn't go too well and he ended up dying because of a dreadnaught cannoneer that was good with grape shot.

Legend: It is said that sometimes you can still see the Floundering Minnow trying to destroy a Dreadnaught. Everytime it disappears as soon as the first broadside is fired. It is also said that the jacket he wore still floats out in the open sea.

Tombstone: Rectangular with a little light sloop figurine always standing on it. Also a tall oak tree behind it as the sloop he died in was made mostly from oak.


Yeah I know it probably won't win but it's worth a try and in the end at least I shared something with the pirates!
