"Can I check out the Cornwall equivalent of Radio Shack before we leave?" -- Eddie to GM

"Why don't you keelhaul (Rámon)?" -- Otto
"Because the ship isn't at sea. It works much better if the ship is moving." -- Lorianne

"I said I was the second best swordsman on the Spanish Main." -- Rámon
"That statement is still accurate, since we're not on the Spanish Main." -- Lorianne
"We're not very good fighters on the Spanish Main." -- Rámon

"There's some things you can do that (Lorianne) can't even attempt, but all the things you brag about she can kick your ass in." -- GM to Rámon

"Is (the ship) going to be carrying brandy?" -- Marion
"Brandy, Roxanne, anyone who wants to come along." -- Rámon

"Like the second best fighter." -- Kendra Jamieson

"While you're at it, why don't you invent a personal flying device?" -- Lorianne to Eddie
"Yeah, like a personal Icarus kind of setup. Don't fly too high." -- Ester

"Can you tech guys modify the merchant ship so that there's some way to defend yourself?" -- Lorianne
"Like filling the hold with soldiers?" -- Eddie

"We're going to test the 'other' setting of the catapult first, before we test the 'plane' setting. And if the 'plane' setting fails, we'll test the 'other' setting again, with Eddie." -- Lorianne to GM
"I think I will start working on that personal flying device, then." -- Eddie

"Could I hire you to make me look good?" -- Rámon to Otto

"You're only one day out so far." -- GM
"Ah, so there's still some alcohol." -- Sean Frost

"Let me give you another acting lesson about merchant ships. They go their way and we go our way, like two ships passing in the night." -- Otto
"But it is day." -- Rámon

"Actually, the merchant ship is steering this way." -- sailor to Rámon and Otto
"They're thinking like Rámon." -- Kris Fazzari
"Now that's scary." -- Sean Frost

"We will soon be seeing some action." -- Rámon
"Will we be involved in it as well?" -- soldiers
"Yes, when the ship begins sinking, and you can't get out of the hold, you'll be involved all right." -- Kris Fazzari

"Oh hey, a crew launcher, there's an idea." -- Eddie to the group

"I am the sixth greatest leader of men on the Spanish Main." -- Rámon to Otto
"This is why there are a lot of pirates in the Spanish Main. Because (the men) are all idiots." -- Kris Fazzari

"Was the crossbowman recruited Jayne-style?" -- GM
"No, I actually chose someone competent." -- Lorianne

"So far, I think this has been a very successful mission. We drew the pirates out, we've set things on fire, and we've managed to lose Rámon." -- Lorianne to the group

"I've always thought I needed a better base. If anything of this island is left standing, I might have to take it over." -- Lorianne to the group

"You hear a bunch of repetitive, grunting noises." -- GM to Marian
"It's not Rámon." -- Sean Frost

"Why doesn't (Rámon) just rub up against someone's shoulder (to get off the blindfold)?" -- Kendra Jamieson
"(He) usually gets slapped for that." -- Sean Frost
"No, someone's shoulder." -- Kendra Jamieson

"Did you guys have bad stuff or something?" -- Kendra Jamieson
"No, we had Rámon." -- Joe Filippini
"What's this Rámon stat?" -- Anne Devlin
"The higher your score, the greater your chance that you actually sleep with (Rámon)." -- Kendra Jamieson

"It's a good thing that sneaking would not be a good plan, since we're not that subtle anyway." -- Lorianne to GM

"Use (Rámon's) head (as your battering ram), it's the hardest part." -- Kendra Jamieson
"And the least valuable." -- Kris Fazzari

"You know, if Rámon were a little more competent, we'd have a Three Musketeers thing going." -- GM to the group

"Let's hope I realize that (our people are) in the sub before I scuttle it." -- Eddie to the group

"So basically, whatever's nearest, (you) club it." -- Kendra Jamieson summarizing Eddie's fighting style

"Friend or foe?" -- Eddie
"How can I tell which side to choose if I do not know which side you're on?" -- Rámon

"We might be right behind you, Rámon." -- Marian to Rámon

"You find yourself surrounded by people pointing swords at you." -- GM
"An even fight, then." -- Rámon

"I keep the levers down, unless I hear a familiar scream." -- Eddie to GM
"That scream you often hear that means your plan isn't working the way you thought it was." -- Sean Frost

"The world came back at the wrong moment." -- Anne Devlin
"On the plus side, this is the cleanest Rámon has been in weeks." -- Sean Frost

"I am thinking this is not such a great ship after all." -- Rámon, referring to the sub
"Why is that?" -- Lorianne
"It leaks." -- Rámon
