- HOH Presents: The Lazy Man's Guide to Cuthroats
-
- CHARACTERS: The Diver (you) - supposedly an expert diver, who, just like
- everyone else on the island is waiting for his ship to come in..
- Johnny Red - The pirate leader. proud, but not a backstabber,
- makes a good leader on the quest.
- Pete the Rat - The cook on the ship, one-eyed and fairly trust-
- worthy also.
- The Weasel - The name says it all, works in a plot to reap the
- benefits of the expedition all by himself. (A little
- back-stabber).
- McGinty - The owner of McGinty's Salvage. Disgusting habits, self
- -ish and unsure... A real pain.
- Other characters - Just fill in the other needed roles, can be
- asked questions, but don't always answer...
-
- Note: Many things are random in this game, just follow the solve
- and there shouldn't be too many problems.
