"Well, captain...",
".",
"Yes, I know.",
"Yesterday you asked me to remind you of some things that you planned for today. But first I'm giving you the ship, such as she is. Your Father, who was my mentor, saved my life in India when we worked for the East India Company togther, and I was never able to repay him, so looking out for his son is the best I can do. Maybe you can trade her in for something better.", // SJG for Jack Sparrow Story
"Really... I don't know what to say? Father did talk about you in his letters. Thanks Malcolm. Anyway, we need to get down to business. Please tell me what I need to know.",
"I remember everything just fine. Thanks, for the ship though, I'll try to take care of her.",
"First of all, take your personal equipment. Remember, you should always have your blade, pistol and spyglass with you. Who knows what can happen in these colonies.",
"Where did I put it?",
"Your sword is there on the chest. And all your other stuff is inside the second chest.",
"All your stuff is inside the chest.",
" Just come close to it and you'll see the Hand Icon in the top left corner of the screen\nThis means you can do something there. When you see the icon, just press the 'Open Command Icon Menu' button, select the command 'Take' from the icon list and then press the 'Action' button.",
"I see.",
"If you use a box or a chest in this manner, you'll see an interface which will allow you to take items from the container or put them in it\nNow, go take your possessions, captain, and talk to me again when you're done.",
"All right, hold on.",
"Haven't you forgotten something, captain? It looks like you haven't taken all of your possessions yet.",
"Oh yeah, how could I forget!",
"Great! Now you should equip your weapons and spyglass. To do that press the 'Open Player Status Screen' key and then select Items from the menu. Press the 'Action' key. Then select the item you want to equip. Or easier: Just press the quick-equip key on your keyboard.\nNote that your blade should be equipped before your pistol. Also: not all items can be equipped. Now equip your sword, pistol and spyglass, then talk to me again.",
"Just a second...",
"Great. By the way, captain, I could teach you a bit about swordplay, if you'd like. Just ask me.",
"I guess I could use some training. Teach me.",
"Some other time. Let's continue with today's schedule.",
"I'm getting tired of this. That's enough.",
"Captain, please equip your weapon. You never know when you'll have to fight here.",
"I'll do it now.",
"Great. By the way, captain, I could teach you a bit about swordplay, if you'd like. Just ask me.",
"I guess I could use some training. Teach me.",
"Some other time. Let's continue with today's schedule.",
"I'm getting tired of this. That's enough.",
"Hey, cap, you forgot about your pistol. It should also be equipped.",
"Oh yeah, how could I forget that!",
"Captain, your pistol is only a secondary weapon - you should equip a blade too.",
"All right.",
"No problem, captain. Pay attention, please. In the bottom left corner you'll see your character icon. The red bar above it is your health. The blue bar represents the loading status of your gun. And the circle above those bars shows how many shots you have left in your pistol.",
"I understand.",
"Good. We need some space for our exercises. Follow me; when you approach door you'll see the Open Lock icon in top left corner of the screen. Press the 'Action' key to go to the next location.",
"Lead on.",
"Now, captain, draw your sword with the 'Draw/Sheathe Sword' key. First you should get familiar with the controls, so I won't be attacking you. Use the 'Action' key to attack and the 'Fire Pistol' key to fire your pistol.",
"Let me try.",
"Just a second. To quickly gain some distance between you and the enemy,  you can jump backwards by pressing the 'Dodge' key. Note that you can't talk to anyone with your weapon drawn. So before talking, sheathe your weapon by pressing the 'Draw/Sheathe Sword' key again.",
"I got it. Now let me try.",
"Well, are you sure that you understood everything so far?",
"Yeah, piece of cake!",
"No, I think I'll try it again.",
"I'm sick of this tutorial. Let me out of here.",
"All right, that's enough, captain. Are you ready for some real action?",
"Sure, bring it on!",
"Not yet. Let me practice some more.",
"I'm sick of this tutorial. Let me out of here.",
"No problem, captain.",
"Thanks.",
"I'll fight back this time. Be careful, captain, and don't forget that you can block incoming blows with the 'Block' key - if you rush into combat without thinking, you'll soon be feeding the vultures.",
"I got it. Let's start.",
"Not bad, captain, not bad! Mind that if you've been wounded in a fight you can recover some health by using herbal potions. To do that you should press the 'Open Command Icon Menu' key and select the Use icon. Then press the 'Action' key, select Potion from the item list, and push the 'Action' key again.",
"I see. What's next?",
"I want to train some more. Let's fight again.",
"Enough of these lessons. You're dismissed.",
"Hm... Looks like you need some more practice... Mind that if you've been wounded in a fight you can recover some health using potions. To do that you should press the 'Open Command Icon Menu' key  and select the Use icon. Then press the 'Action' key and select Potion from the item list, and push the 'Action' key again. Now, let's try it again.",
"If you say so. Let's start again.",
"I'll improve my skills later. What's next?",
"Enough of these confounded lessons. Dismissed.",
"Always ready, cap'n!",
"Prepare yourself.",
"That's much better, captain. Now I can let you go onshore without any worries.",
"What's next?",
"I still think I need some more practice.",
"Enough of lessons. Dismissed.",
"Nah... I guess, it will take some more time to teach you proper fencing. Maybe you should spend a couple of days onboard taking training.",
"Can we try once more?",
"I'll get better later. What's next?",
"Enough of these lessons. You're dismissed.",
"Fine. Before we leave our ship let me tell you about your skills and abilities. Since a skilled captain always has a better chance of survival in this cruel world, you should wisely evolve your character\nFor fighting enemies and completing quests, your character gains experience points. When he obtains enough experience, your character gets a new rank and additional skill and ability points. By spending these points on different skills and abilities, you can improve various parameters of your character\nTo get all the information about your character press the 'Open Player Status Screen' key and then select Character View from the menu. There you'll see your character's rank, reputation, money, skills and Hit Points. Now you have some skill and ability points\nYou can distribute them right now or later.",
"How can I distribute Skill and Ability points?",
"Can I get a description of the different skills?",
"Forget about those skill points - let's continue with something else.",
"If you want to do it now - open the Character View screen, then select the desired skill and press 'Action' key to increase its value\nTo get an Ability you should select the Ability icon at the bottom of the screen and press 'Action' key. Then you'll see a list of all the abilities. Select the one you wish to learn and press the 'Action' key again to read the ability description. To learn an Ability press the 'Action' key a third time\nSome abilities cannot be learned until you have learned their prerequisite ones.",
"I'll do that now.",
"Forget about those points - let's continue with something else.",
"Can I get a description of the different skills?",
"Talk to me when you're finished and we will continue.",
"All right.",
"Need some advice on how you should distribute your skill points? Put some in Melee Combat and some in Accuracy to start with\nBut there is no rush with that - you can always do it later if you want.",
"I'll do it now.",
"Forget about those points - let's continue with something else.",
"Can I get a description of the different skills?",
"Sure. Which one is of interest for you?",
"Leadership.",
"Melee.",
"Sailing.",
"Accuracy.",
"Cannons.",
"Grappling.",
"Repair.",
"Defense.",
"Commerce.",
"Luck.",
"This skill allows you to control your people better. If you have a strong will your people will never surrender in a fight. And vice versa - seeing you so confident and strong your enemies will be terrorized and will surrender sooner. This skill also is required to captain a sailing ship. Furthermore you'll be more convincing if you talk to people.",
"Thanks. What about the others?",
"That's enough. Tell me about something else.",
"I think I'll distribute my points now.",
"The damage you inflict in a fight with your blade depends on this skill. Also it affects the chance of piercing enemy blocks and successfully blocking enemy attacks.",
"Thanks. What about the others?",
"That's enough. Tell me about something else.",
"I think I'll distribute my points now.",
"This skill shows how good you are at steering your vessel. If this skill is high, your ship will be faster and more agile than your enemy.",
"Thanks. What about the others?",
"That's enough. Tell me about something else.",
"I think I'll distribute my points now.",
"Good aiming can help you win a sea battle even against an overwhelming enemy. This skill represents how accurately your gunners can fire bombs and balls. Remember, firing manually from the deck always gives you better accuracy.",
"Thanks. What about the others?",
"That's enough. Tell me about something else.",
"I think I'll distribute my points now.",
"This skill is related to Accuracy and is also important for naval battles. The higher this skill, the shorter it takes to reload the cannons, and the faster they fire salvo.",
"Thanks. What about the others?",
"That's enough. Tell me about something else.",
"I think I'll distribute my points now.",
"This skill is the most important for any pirate. It shows how far you can throw boarding hooks to catch an enemy ship and swarm it with your troops.",
"Thanks. What about the others?",
"That's enough. Tell me about something else.",
"I think I'll distribute my points now.",
"This skill allows repairing your ship right in the open sea. The higher the skill, the higher the percentage of damage you can repair. Also, you'll need to have some planks and sailcloth onboard your ship to repair it.",
"Thanks. What about the others?",
"That's enough. Tell me about something else.",
"I think I'll distribute my points now.",
"The Commerce skill is essential for traders and merchants. With a high Commerce you get better prices in stores and sometimes you can even get a discount when hiring an officer.",
"Thanks. What about the others?",
"That's enough. Tell me about something else.",
"I think I'll distribute my points now.",
"Well, these islands are only half-civilized. The authorities are still weak, and lots of adventurers and outright criminals come here to take advantage of that. So the streets and taverns are full of thieves, smugglers, gamblers and cutthroats, and you must be street-smart if you want to deal smartly with those types and avoid pitfalls and traps. Whether you gamble, fight, smuggle or steal yourself, if you are street-smart you'll be more successful, take less damage and reap higher gains!",
"Thanks. What about the others?",
"That's enough. Tell me about something else.",
"I think I'll distribute my points now.",
"Crew is the most fragile part of the ship and the most important. Without enough crew any ship becomes uncontrollable and awkward. Defense skill helps you protect your crew from enemy cannon fire. It also decreases losses of crew in sea battles. Furthermore your wounds are less likely to become infected!",
"Thanks. What about the others?",
"That's enough. Tell me about something else.",
"I think I'll distribute my points now.",
"Now I remind you about that business we planned for today.",
"Go on.",
"Firstly, we delivered a cargo load - now we should sell it to the local trader. If needed I'll guide you to his store later\nAlso, our ship took some damage in that last storm - it need to be repaired. The local shipyard should easily handle the repairs. I can lead you there too if you want\nNext, we need to hire some new crewmembers to replace those who were washed away by the storm. Talk to the local tavern keeper about hiring more crew.",
"Is that all?",
"Almost. Your spyglass is old and scratched. Maybe you could use a new one? It should be available for sale somewhere in town.",
"Let's go.",
"If you want to buy a new spyglass you can do it right now. I see some traders under their tents.",
"Fine, let's do it.",
"I can do it later. Let's continue with something else.",
"You can go. I'll find my way around.",
"As you wish, captain. Follow me.",
"...",
"Talk to one of those men under the tents. They are selling different goods. You should be able to buy a new spyglass from them. Ask them for what they have on offer. You'll then see a list of items\nFirst you'll see the items that you have and then those that are available for purchase. Select the desired item and then press the 'Action' key. Using side arrows select the quantity you want to buy. Then press the 'Action' key twice to confirm your purchase.",
"All right.",
"You've got it. Great. Now let's sell the goods we brought to the island.",
"All right. Where we can do that?",
"I'll do it myself. Return to the ship.",
"Hey, where is that spyglass, cap? I don't see it!",
"I'll buy it now.",
"I decided not to buy it. Let's continue.",
"I'm getting bored. Go away!",
"As you say. Now let's sell the goods we brought to the island.",
"All right. Where we can do that?",
"I'll do it myself. Return to the ship.",
"The local store should be inside the town walls. Follow me to the gates and when you see the Open Lock icon in top left corner of the screen, press the 'Action' key to go to the next location.",
"All right.",
"I think I know where the store is. You have some goods onboard that you should sell to get money to pay for ship repairs and crew replenishment. To see what goods you have onboard you should press the 'Open Player Status Screen' key and then select Ship Cargo\nThen choose a ship from your squadron to view. You'll see a list of goods that your ship has onboard. You can scroll it right or left. You can also see the amount of ammunition you have left on your ship.",
"Thanks for the info. Shall we go now?",
"I don't need your help anymore.",
"Follow me. I'll show you the right door and then you'll be on your own. But if you have any questions - just ask me.",
"Let's go.",
"Now you go talk to the merchant, captain. Sell your ",
" and ",
" but don't buy anything - we need money to fix up our ship and hire more crew. Do you need more details on trading?",
"Yeah, that would be useful.",
"Nah, I can handle it.",
"It's very simple, captain. Talk to the trader and tell him that you want to sell the goods you've brought. Then select a ship that will be used for trading. After that you'll see a list of wares. Select a ware you want to sell or buy and press the 'Action' key. Then select the Buy or Sell button and choose the desired quantity that you wish to buy or sell. Then press the 'Action' key again to confirm the transaction.",
"Thanks for the explanation.",
"I'll wait for you outside the store. By the way - if you haven't assigned your skill points yet you can put them in your Commerce skill to get more profit from your transactions.",
"All right, thanks.",
"You should sell all the goods you have. But that's all right for now - next I'll show you how you can hire crew for your ship. This can be done in a tavern.",
"Fine.",
"I'll find it myself. You're free to go.",
"Now that we have money we can go and hire some crewmembers. For that, let's go to the tavern.",
"All right.",
"I'll find it myself. You're free to go.",
"Follow me. I'll lead you to the tavern.",
"Well, what else can I do?",
"Aye, captain. Here you can hire crew. Also, sometimes you can find a good officer for your ship at a tavern - talk to people and maybe you'll get lucky\nTo recruit some crewmembers talk to the tavern keeper - he is standing at the bar - and ask him about crew replenishment\nSelect a ship to be beefed-up with crew, then select the Hire button. After that, select how many sailors you want - pay attention to crew morale, though. Then press the 'Action' key to pay your gold and hire these seamen.",
"Thanks.",

After that, select how many sailors you want - pay attention to crew morale, though. Then press the 'Action' key to pay your gold and hire these seamen.",
"Thanks.",
"Sometimes it happens that there is no free crew on an island... That's unfortunate but you'll have to sail to another island to hire crew\nNow hire some crew. I'll wait for you outside.",
"I'll be there soon..",
"That's fine, captain. All what we have to do now is to repair our ship. While you were hiring crew I've found the local shipyard.",
"Good. Let's go there.",
"I know where it is. You can return to the ship.",
"Excuse me, captain, but you better hire as much crew as you can. Your ship should always be under your full control\nBut, since you can always do that later, we can go fix our boat for now. I've found the local shipyard.",
"Good. Let's go there.",
"I know where it is. You can return to the ship.",
"Aye-aye, captain! Follow me.",
"Go.",
"We are now at the shipyard. Here you can fix your ship, sell her, or buy another one. Also, at a shipyard you can install different cannons on your ship\nDo you want me to give you instructions on how to repair your ship?",
"Yes, tell me.",
"Nah, I can handle that.",
"All right. Talk to the shipwright and ask him for repairs. Then choose a ship that needs to be repaired - you have only one right now. Then select 'Repair'. If you have enough money just press the 'Action' key after highlighting the 'Fix All' button, and your ship will be fully repaired\nIf not - then you'll have to select a percentage of hull and rigging to be repaired. Select Hull and then set the desired value. Then do the same with Sails. Then select 'Ok' and press the 'Action' key to confirm repairs.",
"Great, thanks.",
"Well, if so, I'll wait for you outside.",
"All right.",
"I guess that's all, captain. I can give you some suggestions for what to do if you want, but now I must tell you something. I'm old and tired of sailing, so I'd like to leave your ship and stay here. It was great to sail under your command, captain, but now I want retire. Sorry, if that causes troubles for you.", // NK tempfix
"Hm... I can understand that.",
"But I'll be glad to help you with my advice anytime you'll be here.",
"Can you give me some suggestions about what to do next?",
"Tell me about sailing my ship.",
"Thanks for your help, Malcolm, and... thanks again for the ship. Good-bye!", // SJG for Jack Sparrow Story
"Well, when I was at the store I noticed that they have pretty low prices for ",
". If I were you, I'd buy that here and sail to ",
" - you can fetch a good price for ",
" there. You'll also get a hefty profit for ",
" in the colony of ",
"Thank you. Can you tell me about sailing my ship?",
"Thanks for your help, and... thanks again for the ship, Malcolm. Good-bye!", // SJG for Jack Sparrow Story
"All right. But before you go, I should remind you what business you were going to attend to while on land.",
"Go on.",
"Firstly, we delivered a cargo load - now we should sell it to the local trader.

"Well, steering a ship is not as hard as it may seem. Ships move with the wind. The harder the wind blows, the faster the ship goes. You can set your sails in two positions - Full and Battle, or strike them altogether\nIn battle position, the ship becomes more maneuverable but maximum speed is decreased. With Full sails, your ship moves faster but turns slower. Always keep your eye on the wind - your ship won't go very fast if you're sailing against it.",
"Tell me about firing cannons.",
"Tell me about boarding enemy ships.",
"Thanks for your help, and... thanks again for the ship, Malcolm. Good-bye!", // SJG for Jack Sparrow Story
"Firing in Third-person Mode is simple - just keep enemies within firing range of your cannons and press the 'A' button when your cannons are loaded. Your cannoneers will automatically aim the cannons at your enemy\nFiring manually from the deck is a bit tricky. You should aim your cannons at enemy ships, but not like you do with a pistol or a musket. Don't forget that cannons fire on ballistic trajectory and you must raise the aiming cursor higher if enemy is far from you\nOr lower it if the enemy is close. You can even do a direct fire, but only if your enemy is very close to you.",
"Tell me about boarding enemy ships.",
"Tell me about sailing my ship.",
"Thanks for your help, Malcolm. Good-bye!",
"To board an enemy ship you should get very close to her. Your and her relative speeds also should be near the same unless you have the special ability or high Grappling skill\nThen you need to open the Action Menu and select the Boarding command. Then you'll have to cut your way through the enemy ship's decks with your crew, slashing and killing opposing sailors\nAfter you win the boarding battle, you can plunder all the goods from that ship or take it with you if you have a proper officer to assign as a captain on the captured ship.",
"Tell me about firing cannons.",
"Tell me about sailing my ship.",
"Thanks for your help, Malcolm. Good-bye!",
"See you, captain. Meet me in the tavern if you visit this town again.",
"Sure. Be happy on dry land.",
"Need my advice, captain?",
"Can you give me some suggestions on what to do next?",
"Tell me about sailing my ship.",
"Thanks for your help, Malcolm. Good-bye!",
"Whew, that was a close call. We barely made it into this harbour. That was the worst storm that I've ever seen in all the years I've sailed as boatswain. All the lightning out of nowhere, the ghostly St. Elmo's fire, the unnatural, sulphuric colour of the sky... small wonder that the hands claim this was no ordinary storm...",
"What do you mean 'no ordinary storm'...",
"Hmm... well... I mean... not NATURAL.  There's much talk about such things in the foc'sle. During our last shore leave some of our hands met a tavern girl who claimed to be a 'voodoo priestess of love'. She made quite an impression on our boys, told them their fortune out of the size of their... eh, well never mind, the point is that she seemed to know all about this ship and you. She said that you were destined to clash with some evil power, and warned the hands of sailing with you. Makes me worry, Captain...",
"Really, Malcolm! You should know better than to worry about such rubbish.  Sailors are a superstitious lot, and these islands are ripe with legends and voodoo tales, but we officers should not fall for such stuff.",
"Well, this time it seems to be more than the usual foc'sle talk. During MY shore leave I was approached by some cutthroat who tried to talk me into helping him kill you! Seems like someone put a price on your head, and that piece of scum promised me a share of it if I lured you into a trap.", 
"Hmm, looks like I have some mortal enemy. Small wonder, you just can't sail these waters as privateer without running afoul of someone sooner or later. Surely someone is seeking revenge for some defeat... or a killed relative... But I am sure you took care of this wannabe assassin, eh, Malcolm?",
"Well, I made sure that HE will do no harm to you -- or anyone else -- ever again, but there will surely be others. You know, so many desperate cutthroats roam the streets of these Caribbean outposts that you can hire an assassin for a pint-o-rum. And don't expect any help from the corrupt colonial authorities. The town guards won't lift a finger to protect privateers like us. You've got to watch your back all the time, and you'd better take me with you as a bodyguard. ",
"Hmm... having an officer with such a fiery temper with me will surely get me involved in lots of brawls! Maybe it will be less conspicous if I sneak through the streets alone. The blinking red icon will warn me if a location is unsafe, and I can avoid fights by immediately leaving the location again. When I come back next time the bad guys may not be there anymore... And now I need an outfit for going ashore.",
"Will you just hurry up! Just tell me what you want!",
"Sorry Malcolm, no time for ghost stories. The lookout reported a French battle fleet on the way and I would hate to get in the middle of that. I know that the storm is raging, and that I may end up far adrift or even shipwrecked. However I'll face that risk, and set sail right away. Goodbye old friend, and ... thanks for the ship.", // SJG for Jack Sparrow Story
"I called you because, as you may already know, I plan to leave rough pirate life and retire on that island. Therefore, as I fully understand and support your aspirations, I decided to grant you ship of your own. Take command of that ",
" which we captured recently -- I don't need her and I even called her '",
"' to gladden you.",
"Oh dear... not THAT ship! I was hoping to get command of your ",
"Excellent Sir, just the thing to sneak past that French fleet we saw.  I'm sure that storm coming in won't be too bad, so I'll be off! Good luck with settling down.",
"What did you say? I didn't hear.",
"Thank you, sir! Thank you very much... I'll take care of this... canoe.", // SJG
"Malcolm, I'd like thank you for everything and wish luck on dry land. Now I'd like to visit the town.",
"You don't need to call me 'sir' anymore, 'Malcolm' will do. That's me who's to call you 'captain' as you deserve now\nFor a better start you can take things from that chest -- you'll find saber, pistol and spyglass there. You can also take all the rest, even money you find there.",
"Right, let's get you out of that bathrobe! If you want more choices, I hear there are tailors' shops all over the 'pelago... So, what will it be?",
"What would you like to wear?",
"The usual.",
"What I'm wearing now.",
"I think I fancy some dreadlocks...",
"Oh, something simple; as long as it doesn't clash with my darker skin",
"Did I tell you about my twin brother Will?",
"Get me a good Captain's uniform, Malcolm, something Othello would be proud of!",
"My forebears were Moors, Malcolm, and I want to live up to their example.",
"You know, as the years go by I start looking more and more like my cousin Ralph Fawn...",
"OK, I'll show down! I am a girl!",
" Here you go, captain. That looks a whole lot better, doesn't it?",
"Never mind all that -- the lookout sighted a French squadron headed this way! We must leave port now, before we get caught up in the attack, raging storm or not!",
" And one more thing: our lookout reported that a French battle fleet is dangerously close. I'd advise you to use French colors when sailing from this port.", // KK
"Thanks Malcolm, I really needed that wash, my dreadlocks were getting right nasty.",
"Pass me my worn old vest and high boots and no peeking this time Malcolm.",
"OK.",
"...",
"Blaze Devlin from 'Corsairs-III'...",
"Beatrice Devlin 'Corsairs-III'...",
" ...If you need my help again, I'll be in the local tavern.",
"We need to move to the town center if we're to do our plan. We must go there to the entrance gates and then ahead through the next door to the other part of the town. Follow me to the gates and when you see the Open Lock icon in top left corner of the screen, press the 'Action' key to go to the next location.",
"The local store is in the further district. I'll guide you there.",
" We must return to the town center.",
"The pirate settlement is located far from shore, in the middle of the jungle. To get there, we must go behind those rocks, and then turn left near a hut. Later we should see the palisade. Approach the wooden gate after me and when you see the Open Lock icon in top left corner of the screen, press the 'Action' key to go to the next location.",
"There isn't even one vendor on that island! Fortunately, I learned that we can buy a spyglass in the local store. We'll go there to sell our cargo, so we'll be there anyway.",
"To get a spyglass, tell the merchant that you want to buy some personal gear and he should have one for sale. After that you should sell our cargo, which is ",
". We can use money acquired from trade to hire crew and repair the ship. Do you need more clarifications?",
"Unfortunately I can't help you, captain.",
"You can go to the town if you wish; I have some things to do here. We'll meet in the local tavern.",
" To do that press the 'Open Player Status Screen' key and then select Items from the menu. Press the 'Action' key. Then select the item you want to equip. Or easier: Just press the quick-equip key on your keyboard\nNote that your blade should be equipped before your pistol. Also: not all items can be equipped. Now equip your sword, pistol and spyglass, then talk to me again.",
"You won't be able to defend yourself with your fists alone, captain.",
"Very good. Before we continue, we should take care for one important thing which would decide about your survival during boardings. Every ship has a weaponslocker, where arms used by boarding parties are stored -- you should be able to find it in captain's cabin.\nThose lockers has special symbol, a knife crossed with a pistol, but you operate them as normal chests. On your ship you can put best weapons there to ensure successfull boarding.\n",
"Your crew will put all your weapons back, together with those which they take from enemy after boarding. ",
"Your crew will take weapons with them so you must remember to replenish supplies in the weaponslocker frequently. ",
"When you're in the cabin of a captured ship you can inspect the weaponslocker there to find some additional weapons.",
"Now, to help your boarders, put that bunch of ",
" to your weaponslocker.",
"It seems that you didn't equip weaponslocker yet.",
"Wait a minute...",
"I got the idea; you put it there and let's go further with more important things.",
"Fine. Before we leave our ship let me tell you about your skills and abilities. Since a skilled captain always has a better chance of survival in this cruel world, you should wisely evolve your character\nFor fighting enemies and completing quests, your character gains experience points. When he obtains enough experience, your character gets a new rank and additional skill and ability points. While you'll have an option to decide what ability you'd like to improve, various skills will improve accordingly to your actions.\nFor example, during swordplay your Melee skill will improve. When improvement reaches 100 percent, you'll gain one level up.\nTo get all the information about your character press the 'Open Player Status Screen' key and then select Character View from the menu. There you'll see your character's rank, reputation, money, abilities and Hit Points, as well as percentage required for upgrading given skill to next level. Now you have one ability point\nYou can distribute it right now or later.",
"I'd like to know how to earn more skill points.",
"You can improve Leadership by talking with people in towns, completing quests and paying your crew regularly.",
"To improve your Melee skill you obviously should whisk your blade a lot.",
"You'll get better in the domain of Sailing the more sea battles you win. Here storms and twisters can also help you, though those will surely damage your ship, too.",
"By firing either your pistol or cannons you can gain points in Accuracy. Using a pistol is more effective.",
"Making progress in Cannons requires you to fight and hit other ships or forts during battles.",
"You'll get better in Grappling every time you throw a grappling hook.",
"Observe how the shipwright repairs your ships, and you'll get experience in Repair. When you'll start to repair your ship during sea battles, you'll also achieve the same effect.",
"Becoming the master of Defence requires you to withstand many chests exploding on your face. Sword-fighting and repairing ships in shipyard or during a sea battle also helps.",
"If you often deal with merchants, you can quickly make better your skill in Commerce. When you're low on that, traders will fleece you; when you're high -- you'll do that to them.",
"Luck will improve when you play card games in taverns. Also, you'll make it better when finishing quests and still remaining alive. Or, finally, by talking with encountered people; but beware, captain, when your Luck is low, some of them will probably try to steal your belongings.",
"I guess that's all, captain. I can give you some suggestions for what to do if you want\nAll I dream about is spending my life on retirement, cruising on my ship only for relaxation. Observe sunsets from the deck of my ship and not need to worry about plunder and ransack. Then, I'll be gratefull if you let me take care for my future here -- the most important thing I have to do is to make immediate inspection of a local tavern!",
