Welp, so much for the backstory. Did not take long.

It only took one page! I think that's a new academy record.

"Did he just squee?" XD hillarious!

Also, I don't think that the GM already has Waiter #4's background already in mind. I think he is just trying to prevent him to join Luke's crew. He has think it up really soon, though.

Fatal gaming flaw number four. The players will always come up with their own reason for something. It doesn't matter if all of the facts are against them, if someone has a goatee they are evil. No exceptions.

which is why the real villian will use some form of trickery to glue a fake goatee on the Paladin right before the players meet him.

Don't knock the hat.

"My hat is awesome!"

So that's why Krieg wants to seize this ship. It used to be his...

Personally I think that "Pirate Admiral"is jus a misremembered Pirate King, but we'll see.
