Corsair!¢--------¢¢Written by Alias Maximus¢¢Would be pirates come and go, but few ever live up to up the title of 'corsair'. Any half-baked sailor can don on a bandana, rob a couple of ships and call himself a buccaneer, but few have the style and courage to become a corsair; for the dangers are many and the rewards are few.¢ Still, to some the respect and honour given to the great corsair captains is too much to resist, and many a young man has rushed off to sea with romantic notions of a life on the ocean waves. Not to be a pirate, for they are coarse, nor to be a brutish buccaneer, for they are nothing but villains, but to be a dashing corsair, darling of the high seas - Ah! that would be the life.¢ In this adventure, you play the part of such a young man, dreaming dreams of the corsair life - a beautiful paramour in every port, wearing fine clothes and a flashing sword. If only!¢ And now you have a chance to realize that dream - an old parchment has come into your possession, telling of a great treasure to be found on a distant isle, the treasure of the infamous Cap'n Flintlock; it's a chance not to be missed. You pack up your few belongings, and set off on a journey to Seaport, your head spinning with wild dreams. Good-luck young adventurer. May fine winds speed your journey!¢
