Mystery of Rat's Nest-May 7,2010

[Eliza Creststeel]

I'm lost on the story, because didn't they say before that Rott and his men were facing death at sea and Jolly offered to let them live if they served him? Or was that just rumors?

And if Rott was an elder, who are the rest of the Casa de Muertos?

Yeah, the story doesn't really "fit" with current lore. Maybe they're hoping we'll forget it with the SHOCKING revelation that the Muertos Guild are Undead. Although how they're such healthy looking undead is still unexplained.

Then again, I missed the Raven Cove GM Event, so I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. But at least as I currently understand it - Minertown enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with the Pirates on Tortuga. The citizens did not wish to be a part of the Pirate life, so through mutual agreement, the Pirates protected the town while they went about their business. Rott wanted something more and struck a deal with Roger to take over the town. The Marceline Guild got wind of the plan and moved to save the town but it was already too late. Best they could do was cast a spell to keep the Undead locked in place in the ruins of Minertown so Tortuga Port would be protected.

What this has to do with the missing Captain Walter I have no idea. I have a guess, but it's purely speculation at this point - what if Walter used to be a member of Muertos, but switched sides and has been trying to shut Roger down ever since, especially since I think more than his hide would be on the line if he gets caught. Would explain why Rott has it in so bad for Walter.

Just guessing.
