## Episode Events

Chip and Jay enter the room where Gillion has smashed the callnch shell to check up on him, they discuss ways to make him feel better and they decide to go to Bed Bolts and Beyond to search for the Beyond section.

They arm-swing him there while talking about finding Edyn but Gill refuses.

They enter Bed Bolts and Beyond and Gill tells the hippopotamus worker (Keg) the secret code (The brotherhood of bolts is black but our bed is layed beyond), he leads them to a back-corner. He gestures towards a wall and Gill runs into it and fazes through, soon follows Jay and Chip.

After falling down some stairs they find themselves in a pitch dark room where Keg holds a torch. Gill tries to light up the room with Destiny's Blade and Jay tries to use the Lights Coin but ends up casting darkness, Keg signals them to put the light away. The hippopotamus dispels magic and walks with them to a clearing.

They find themselves in a secret, underground damp with a wooden dock and sea. Keg asks the crew if they know where it leads and they confess they don't, he suggests them to not go 'beyond' but he keeps being ominous about where it leads, Jay figures out it's to the Black Sea.

After being reassured that the password won't change they decide to leave and sail there on another moment.

In an effort to remember any information about the Black Sea; Chip remembers being swallowed into the ocean with the ship, the water getting cloudy by an inky black substance, seeing tentacles from the death of the sea before losing consciousness and then waking up in the Southern Sea.

Gill pulls out the luxurious pearl to ask Lunedea whether their destiny was to go beyond, the answer being no. He collects a piece of the wooden dock and puts it into the homebound compass to find their way back if anything happens before leaving.

Chip and Gill go back to the ship to wait for Roofus, but Jay wants to go to the tavern to get a tattoo.

She needs to say a new pirate code to enter but because she doesn't know any more the door-keep challenges her to an arm wrestle.

She eats a ton of Smash Browns and becomes stronger, absolutely demolishing the door-keep.

She enters the tavern and sees half the pirate code after it being comedically ripped off:

1. All pirates sail underneath a Jolly Roger

2. Pirate crews are bound by sworn oath of allegiance, this can only be retired by the captain

3. In-fighting is settled to first blood, or untill one surrenders their pride

4. Pay it forward, pirates don't wait for karma

5. Never piss your pants

6. Never kill a friend

7. Never fight without reason

8. Never kill an innocent, or an enemy who admits defeat

There are 5 left

After an hour Jay gets her magical flying tattoo and flies to the ship.

Chip goes to see Finn in his sleep and calls Gillion. He asks if they could search Finn's body to search for the map, Gill is put off by this. Drey enters the room and, after being questioned about his relationship with Finn, sides with Chip. Because of Drey’s arms Gill is the one to do it, in the midst of multiple hickeys they find the map and make a transfer copy of it.

Jay gets back, gives Ollie a flying ride and comes back to Gillion searching for a way to wake up Finn, which involves tackling Chip as whenever his swords are on him his companions cannot be surprised except when incapacitated by something other than non-magical sleep. Finn doesn't wake up which means he's under magical sleep.

Gill keeps searching for different ways.

Roofus hasn't appeared yet and Jay goes to search for him but can't see him around. They decide to go check on him and Ollie joins.

The Divine Barkanist lights are off and the doorknob has been lock-picked. Chip stealths in, Jay goes around the back and Gill Hangs out with Ollie. All lanterns suddenly extinguish and the three of them hear a warning from Chip's swords as soldiers of Raft and vice-admiral Kooba Kenta crash behind each of the party members.
