Oh great. Now, on top of all my other problems, the ship I was hoping to take to The Isle of Night has been boarded by pirates and they say that I’ll only be set free once I’ve grown a beard on behalf of their cutlass-wielding monkey mascot who has thus far been unable to grow his own… and I just shaved before boarding so that Neptune would take me for a humble man!
