Actions | Requirements | Effects | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Distribute an extra rum ration
Zailors are rarely ungrateful for grog. |
|
Liquid comfort
It hasn't helped with discipline, but the mood aboard is perceptibly better. |
|
Place a guard on the cookware
Sometimes, it's best just to be seen doing something practical. |
A confused response
This isn't exactly what your crew expected. But you won't be left eating food raw! Even so far from London, there are standards which must be maintained! |
||
Address the crew
Remind that all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well, if only they have courage. |

Failed event | |
An unsuccessful homily
Men and women scratch and yawn. A scrawny cat licks itself indelicately. You catch the bo'sun picking his nose. Have they heard this one before?

Successful event | |||
Straightened backs
You're on good form today. You remind them of their bravery, their honour, the glory which will be theirs on the return to London. By the end of the speech, you've almost convinced yourself. |
