Quoted By:
The sailors aboard the Pink Lady keep the eyes on the horizon for spouts and sprays. Surely a whale will show itself... right?
As you steer the ship towards the deep waters nearby Mt. Guam, you find it calm and peaceful, though a little barren. Nothing shows itself on the horizon as of yet, and as the day turns into night and lowers your visibility, you find that no whales have shown up.
<span class="mu-r">"Damn."</span>
<span class="mu-b">"Don't be so discouraged, Captain! Don't you remember aboard the Sweaty? We would go weeks, months even before we'd catch a good whale. Captain Ahab went on and on about how there were less of them in these days, and they keep getting smaller too. Don't lose hope."</span>
<span class="mu-r">"Sigh. I just had... a good feeling about this one."</span>
You toss the coin into the ocean impotently. Oh well. You have <span class="mu-s">four</span> lucky coins left.
As you go off to speak with Squint and learn his <span class="mu-i">secret</span>, some of the whalers aboard the ship come up with an outrageous idea. Your small cannons are light enough to be carried on the smaller boat you have, as well as being able to launch things without damaging them- namely harpoons. They come up with the idea of using small cannons to <span class="mu-i">fire harpoons</span> at greater range and with greater force then you could do by hand, though the noise would naturally scare away any sea life and could damage the harpoons; but you have a great excess of them now. They ask if we should try this next time we spot any whales, if ever.
>Yes
>No
