found it

we were attacked! the incredible story of the two and a half day battle on the high seas between ourselves and a large and dangerous pirate ship are too boring to go over, but at last i found my pistol. one of our cannon men, aunt vince, had found it during the battle in the large bowl by the gangplank where we leave our keys and stuff. he knew it was a quality piece of murder mechanics and thought loading one of the cannons with it and shooting it at their ship would be a good strategy. it didn't do anything but i swung over on a rope to the other deck and retrieved it and used it to shoot the pirate captain in the face. it blew half his head clean off. literally half...it was like a medical diagram if viewed from the side, and he was still alive and aware and extremely confused for about 30 more seconds before he crumpled and died. we now have two lovely ships!
