Dialogue[edit]

Before the event starts
Jim Lad: Cap'n! The merchants are demanding more gold. And the musicians are refusing to perform!
Captain Penzan: Well, then, we'll need to find some more treasure!
Jim Lad: What's our course, sir?
Captain Penzan: Less torture, less pillaging, and a little more culture. And that requires plenty of booty.
Captain Penzan: Gentlemen, I'm off to find more treasure! Who's with me?
Captain Penzan: Very well, then. At least I have my loyal first mate...right?
First Mate Blackwit: Aye-aye, Cap'n! I'd follow ya to the gates of the Underworld, I would. I...where are we going now?
Captain Penzan: Just fetch my pack bull. We'll need him to carry all of that gold back.
First Mate Blackwit: Gold? Why didn't ya say so, Cap'n? Right away, sir!
During the event
First Mate Blackwit: Go on, then, ye worthless, stubborn beast!
Captain Penzan: Nothing cools the nostrils quite like a pinch, eh?
First Mate Blackwit: Uhm, Cap'n? We didn't bring the serving boy with us.
Captain Penzan: What? But who will fetch my snuff? And my wine? This simply won't do! Let's turn about at once–"
Jim Monagle: Careful, Cap'n! These buccaneers are gettin' more an' more pushy, as of late.
First Mate Blackwit: Aye. Given the current...hostilities with the other pirates, maybe we should be layin' low for a bit.
Captain Penzan: All the more reason to continue, even without the serving boy! A good privateer would never back down from some petty rumble!
First Mate Blackwit: The saltmarsh? I hear tales o' worse things than bloody pirates in 'larr, Cap'n.
Captain Penzan: I'm not afraid of a few dastardly rogues and some angry lizard. Let's go!
First Mate Blackwit: Cap'n, wait! I can't go no further without rest. And I'm dyin' of thirst.
Captain Penzan: I thought you were scared of this swamp. Now you want to stay awhile?
Captain Penzan: Let's move on before these drakes make a feast of our bull, here. Just think of the gold...and all of the rum that we can buy once we've fetched it!
First Mate Blackwit: Cap'n! We've been running forever. Where is our treasure?
Captain Penzan: Why, it's aboard our flagship, "The Golden Piece".
First Mate Blackwit: Hey, where is she anyway? Didn't we cast anchor nearby?
Captain Penzan: I had her sunk, remember? With the treasure aboard the ship and ship on the ocean floor, no one will ever find it!
Captain Penzan: Aha! Just where I left you! I hope you didn't miss me too much.
Captain Penzan: Hard to believe that a man of discriminating tastes would have such a firm grasp of naval tactics. But it's true!
Captain Penzan: (scoffs) When was the last time you bathed, good man? You smell like a filthy pirate!
First Mate Blackwit: But Cap'n! We just went for a swim! Surely it's the swamp you smell...unless-"
Event completion
First Mate Blackwit: Beggin' yer pardon, Cap'n, but I'm taking a break! Care for some ale?
Captain Penzan: Ale? That's what you've burdened my poor pack bull with? Ale is a common man's drink!
First Mate Blackwit: But, sir! This here be Bjorn's Brew! Finest to be had and not much left at that!
Captain Penzan: What nonsense! I order you to leave that sludge here. Once we've returned, it's nothing but twenty year-old cognac for us!
Back at the hideout
Captain Penzan: I've returned! And with enough gold to pay for a thousand drinks!
Jim Lad: Cap'n? You ever think there's more to life than just gold?
Captain Penzan: Of course! There's wine and silk and gourmet cuisine!
Jim Lad: Shall we prepare another feast for ye, Cap'n?
Captain Penzan: A capital idea! The richest merchants of Lion's Arch could never live like this!

Captain Penzan then begins his song. Full text can be found on Captain Penzan's page.
