A Three Hour Tour

EM Kincaid: Good evening, ladies, gentlemen - and the rest of you!  *looks sideways at drunk*  that's enough out of you, sir   Please do not charge off before you know everything.  Right now, you don't know where to start, and I'm not going to tell you where to finish.  *evil grin*

You will be given a bag which contains instructions, and a dictionary.  As you go around the course, you will be given clues.  The answers are in the dictionary.  For instance, if someone says "on or in a vessel", then the key word is "aboard".  That's the first entry in the dictionary, in case you were wondering.  You will be given the first key word. DO NOT leave here without it.

Once you have your bags and the first keyword, go upstairs  and pick any of the moongates.  Each one takes you to a different starting spot.  Some of them will have you swearing. Some will have you cursing.  *evil grin*  *very evil grin*  So will some of the locations you have to sail to.
But, this is the hard shard. Feel free to blow each other up as you sail! So, before I give out the bags and the starting password, are there any questions?

Of course there were questions, and of course he had all the answers.

EM Kincaid: I have about 22 bags so there's enough to have one each

Kenzie Mori: but I don;t have a ship I am a member of a crew
EM Kincaid: that's ok. If you captain gets looted, at least you have a spare
Tanager: keep your book anyway tho pls, in case mine gets lost
EM Kincaid: otherwise you would have to run back here to get another.  Well if there are no more questions and no more singing.  Please form an orderly queue.  Once you all have a bag, I will tell you the password.  I repeat : DO NOT LEAVE HERE WITHOUT THE PASSWORD.You will feel really silly if you do.  I will be waiting at the last spot and you don't know until you get there where it is, if you don't arrive on a boat you don't win it's that simple.


Once the bag were given out all were told where the moongates where for our first location and our first clue.
