### Aliases

Thomas Crook, Honorable Mechants, The Crew of the Jolly Dodger, The Invisible Circus

### Affiliation

Oldtown, Captain Francisco

The renegade Crew of the Jolly Dodger, A band of Misfits and Mischief makers. A collective of fine sea faring games masters from the Streets of Boomtowns Oldtown to the beautiful grounds and Glen of Kelburn Castle. We love nothing more than to Challenge you to games of agility and wit, hooks, pegs, young, old you’re all welcome to try and win some of our gold although the chances are slim as we cheat to win with a hull full of Barrels filled with Rum, fun and a yo ho ho.

## Return of the The Jolly Dodger

In Chapter 6 and 7 the pirates returned after previously having been banished from the town. They sailed into the port at Oldtown aboard the Jolly Dodger and laid siege to the harbour, waging a fierce battle. Some said that the great Captain Francisco had returned, some thought it was a ghost ship, no-one could be sure.

## Home for Destitute Pirates

Thomas Crook ‘Home for destitute **Pirates**’. Where once stood the proud travel agent Thomas Crook, run by the renegade crew of the Jolly Dodger, now stands a dilapidated building, a last resort, a safe haven for the few pirates that remain. Growing pressures from Bang Hai, a mutiny, and a minor indiscretion at The Bank did not benefit them as much as hoped... But, never fear, all is not lost! Where there’s a pirate, there’s a way!

## The Red Herring

The Pirates have woken... beards are unfurling, plans and schemes are in motion! Now AMI has taken control of the city Banghai's AI, The Machine Cannot Be Stopped? Well neither can the crew of Thomas crook! AMI isn't the only one with information and not all information should be digitized for eternity... The pirates have an idea...
