"The Captain's Quarters is at the stern of the ship. The person leading the hunt for me is inside. Defeat him and I will tell you where the treasure of the Pirate King is hidden. Dingy Larry points to the back of the ship.

(You can't help but ask him if the treasure is real...)

"Oh very well! Since you want to know where the treasure so much, I'll tell you. It's actually on this ship. I don't remember where it's hidden though. I've been searching high and low along the way but found nothing. That leaves only the stern."

"Since I told you where the treasure you should defeat the Captain for me! That's the deal, right? " Dingy Larry looks at you steadily.

"The Captain is the boss of the Crying Sailor so he is of course the strongest pirate. At least on this ship anyway."

"The treasure is just up ahead. Be careful. Remember, if you can defeat him, all of the treasure is yours."

"By the way, when I was still a pirate, there was a story going around about how this ship was attacked by a giant sea monster but came home unscathed."

"It's just a rumor and since everyone who heard about it will end up cursed, nobody mentions it any more. I just though I should mention it to you just in case." Dingy Larry shrugs.

"By Bahado's breath, what the 'ell was that roar?! Was it the gurgling o' the deep sea monster?" Dingy Larry asked nervously.

(You describe how you defeated the Deep Sea Monster...)

"What... How is that possible? Who sent you? The Deep Sea Monster is every sailor's nightmare and you managed to give it a thrashin'! You're really somethin' else.

Dingy Larry swallowed then asked: "So, did you see the treasure? Is there stacks of gold piled up inside?"

(You opened the palms of your hands to show that you hadn't found anything.)

"What?! Is the legendary treasure just a legend then? Was it just the Captain's joke?"

Dingy Larry seemed lost in thought for a moment, then began to laugh, low at first, then swelling into a deep chuckle."Ah-hahaha, I get it now, Ardenis ye old sea dog! Y'see, his creed was preying on rich merchants and doling out his profits to the less-fortunate in life. Why would he keep a hoard of gold and jewels for himself? I guess the so-called treasure was just a farce after all!"

"I'm sorry, my friend. Still, take these as a show of my appreciation! If you want to leave this place, I can help you. The Black Bone Pirates aren't all destroyed, though, so it looks like I'll be keepin' up my life in hiding." Dingy Larry apologized to you.
