Final Narration
"So now what do we do?" wondered Nerwen.
"Well, I don't be knowin' what ye gunna do now, but I certainly be knowin' what I gunna be doin' now that I be cap'n," replied Gwath Slasher.
"Avast, thar, ye can't be cap'n; ye're just a lowlife powder monkey." Then it dawned on th' navigator. "Wait a minute, ye're th' final mutineer, aren't ye?" she realised.
Gwath grinned. "Indeed I be. Th' Grey Gaurhoth be mine. 'An she gunna run how I be needin' her to run. No more takin' orders from others. Now I be th' one givin' out orders."
"So what ye gunna do now, murder me?" wavered Almost-Blind Nerwen.
"Hmm...well that depends," answered th' aggressor. "Will ye work under me orders, or would ye rather take ye chances?"
"Pah, I'll never take orders from a powder monkey," th' navigator growled.
"Okay, then I be predictin' ye won't be needin' 'tis." In a flash, Gwath reached at Nerwen 'n tore her remainin' eye from 'tis socket.
"Avast, that be me eye!" she cried out. "Gift it back, ye filthy piece 'o scum."
Eyeless Nerwen started after Cowerin' Gwath, but without any eyes she missed th' mutineer altogether 'n instead ran straight off th' ship. Gwath threw th' eyeball in after her 'n it landed wit' a plop.
Now that th' final loyal crewmember was dead, Gwath could finally take over th' ship. Th' Grey Gaurhoth was all his 'n at th' thought 'o it, he gave out a hearty hoot and hollar. But thar was still more work to be done.
"Alright, ye scurvy dogs...back to yer posts!" ordered Gwath Slasher. "Hoist th' sails. To th' Haven 'o Umbar we gunna be off to restock on supplies." But nothin' happened. Th' ship was silent 'n Gwath could hear no one's movement but his own. Th' once animate corpses on th' ship were now silent. Successful or not, th' crew had fulfilled their purpose 'n their ghosts were no longer needed. These dead men would be tellin' no more tales.
Cowerin' Gwath Slasher looked around at his empty ship. He may have earned th' title 'o cap'n, but he was one without a crew, 'n stranded alone at sea.
"Oh bugger," sighed th' new cap'n.
