Skull Crag, the castle of the Pirate King... This place is so shrouded in mystery that most landlubbers think it's only a legend. Pirates know better, but even they would be incapable of marking it on a map, for its location is a well-kept secret. Only a handful of people in the world even know how to get there. Thankfully, Father Pedro, who is your ship's navigator, is one of them.

The place is forbidding, to say the least : it's a huge, coal-black rock, twice higher than it is broad, that rises steeply above the ocean. An equally black castle in a severe state of disrepair sits on top. As if to make things more dramatic, you reach the place at night, during a thunderstorm. Since there is no harbor, you cannot moor Midnight anywhere, so you drop anchor some distance away from the cliffs and travel the rest of the way by rowing boat. Place on board is limited... Only Raquel and three sailors accompany you.

You reach land and must climb a steep and rain-slick stairway that seems to go on forever. You are cold, wet and trembling with exhaustion when you finally arrive at the heavy oaken door of the castle. You knock and wait. A heavily armed African answers. He is holding a pistol almost point-blank to your chest. From the corners of your eyes, you can see your three comrades take a few steps back.

"Do you have a password?" the African growls.

Sorry sir, but no.

If you do have a password, copy http://editthis.info/choose_your_own_adventure/password in your address bar, but replace the word password with the actual password.
