I'm not sure who it was. I'll tell you about it. We encountered it lost on the open ocean somewhere. We'd barely managed to sink two english pirates that had come after us. The rudder had broken off, the masts were nearly shot off and we were barely afloat. We still had plenty of food and drink, but that's it. A few days out and trange voices filled our heads. At first they were just unnerving. Various prayers helped a little, but it still was unnerving.
Jack winces remembering it
Then a few days later the pain started. It was unbelievable. It seemed to physically drain us, we could no longer work. I remember seeing a mass of tentacles and eyes and then blacking out. We woke aboard a naval vessel that had picked us up. None of us suffered any long term effects except occasional nightmares.
