The Privy Purse - part III

10
The notes Blackseagull plays on the harpsichord retrieve Mortesecca's memories. Too bad his senses were altered by alcohol, so all we can see are the pictures below.

* no need to say (but I'd better say it now...), ignore the "Made in unregistered Jigsaw Producer!" caption.

P.S. refined people have always received music education... 10 extra sangreazuls will be assigned to the first knight who can compose Mortesecca's song in the piano thingy. Divide his name in syllables MOR-TE-SEC-CA, leaving a blank space in the pentagram between each syllable (compose it in quarter notes, I set the tempo to 180): it's actually beautiful.

I'm starting to puzzle with the pictures what I have seen. The second picture is made on the port of kasadim and there was avessel named the fantastic Sild which is from the blades of ascalon. Mortesecca have been on that ship. I've found out is was going to board that ship. Ik think I have to find out where that ship is now...
I also think that the first picture is taken in a inn, but I didn't found out which one and exactly which persons are there. There are a lot white names (NPCs) in it, but I don't know in which inn it is. It's very dark in there, maybe it's closed...

The pirate be Tilinka, Captain of the crew perilous puppets and it just so happens that they have a ship called the Fantastic Sild in port at kasidim. Perhaps if i talk to her she'll shed some light on to this situation whether she be behind it or not.

I believe that this is the song.

Mmiimmii tries her hand at playing Mortesecca's memory...


after listening to this melody ...i noticed some mistakes i had made ...those i believe i have corrected...this is now my final revision...

Mmiimmii wonders if the sloop be hiding on Barbary island ..so she goes to take a look around the docks and shipyards there ...just playing a hunch instead of the harpsichord....

10 to Leoric, who played first Mortesecca's song (even if he started counting the letters from the beginning of the keyboard of the tool and not from one of the C's), for that reason I'm also assigning
5 to Mmiimii.
Nice job, mateys!

Arr! I start rememberin'. Ye be right, th' sloop be th' Fantastic Sild!

Oh, an' Tilinka... that kraken! We had a couple o' drinks, then she robbed me! May she go straight to th' Davy Jones' locker!

Tilinka has just delivered to me this message:

I, Tilinka, Evil Genius and Puppet Extraordinare do hereby issue the following challenge to the people of Ascalon.

I am holding your Fantastic Sild hostage. If you want it back, your knights must defeat me in a duel. Ah ah ah! You must find me first, you fools! As a puppet I master the art of sword fighting as well as running away... it won't actually be that easy for you to catch me!

Well, supposing you will, as a tribute to my magnificence the duellist must wage a bundle of cloth of me favourite colour. Beside that, challenges must be issued in verses! Any poetic form is allowed, but I doubt you, brute and gross knights, have any aesthetic sense! Arrr!

-Tilinka
Captain of the Perilous Puppets

Knights of Ascalon! It's time to draw our blades (or mugs...) and show our mettle to the evil puppeteer! The Crown will equip you with the bundle of cloth she is claiming as a wage, provided you will tell me which colour is the right one.
Before facing our enemy, post the poem (specifying the poetic form you chose) you intend to declaim in order to issue the challenge to Tilinka.

Your poem must contain:

• An insult (don't be coarse, though).
  
• A reference to the puzzle you chose for the duel (sword fighting, rumble, drinking game).
  
• The name of the colour she wants.

Post a new thread with your poem in the Circle of Cavalier Poets forum.

This is the last chance in this mission to prove the nobility of your blood (10 sangreazul for your poems)!
The first knight who posts the poem in the desired form will earn the right to fight Tilinka first, if he/she is defeated by her, I'll devolve the duty upon the second one and so on.

Don't forget that who brings the Fantastic Sild back to Ascalon will receive 20 doubloons as a reward (as well as 25 sangreazul)!

List of the knights admitted to the challenge
(in order of submission of their valid entry)

Leoric
Colour: purple
Insult(s): condescendent twit, silly puppet, scurvy wench
Challenge: rumble*

Rubydeath
Colour: magenta
Insult(s): incapable
Challenge: swordfight*

Mmiimmii
Colour: magenta
Insult(s): scoundrel
Challenge: rumble*

* if you want to borrow bludgeon or a sword, let us know in time.

The deadline to submit a poem for the challenge is Saturday, Noon game time.

Mortesecca has expressed his desire to get a personal revenge over Tilinka. He has already submitted to me a poem, but in order to give the knights a chance to win the reward, he'll be at the bottom of the final list.

Time is over. We have only three duellists so far. Well, let's see what they can do... if they failed I might accept more poems for a second round. I'm sorry for Maaike, who sent one, but according to the rules any poem should contain an insult (you are too polite, Maaike!).
Here is the list of duellists, who will be equipped, at turn, with the bundle of magenta cloth provided by the Crown:

1. Rubydeath
2. Mmiimmii

Leoric, who came up with a great poem, is not excluded from the challenge, but I am afraid he has to get hold of a bundle of cloth by himself or get in the line at the bottom of the queue.
Good luck, knights!

Quick update: Rubydeath had to leave Sage, so the bundle will be given to Mmiimmii.
Maaike is admitted to the challenge too and there is tell that Enblith might enter the duel too (she could send us soon a poem).

Update. Rubydeath is back, so since we haven't be able to give the bundle to Mmiimmii while she was away, the queue is back to its original order.
Leoric has the bundle, please claim it from him.
