The Treasure of the Singin Buccaneer (Alturiak, AR 163)
This text appears to be a scrap-book; a collection of a scroll and several torn pieces of paper, some of them which have been quite water-damaged, but have been painfully restored by whoever took the time to create this archive.
#### Drunken Pirate's Scroll ####
Ye who found this writin,
reads the last words of the Drunken Pirate,
over which you will soon be fightin!
Aye, this will not stay private,
me final play, me final ruse,
me treasure here will be the fuse.
I will be laughin from me grave indeed,
knowin that yer greed,
will drive y'all mad in time.
glorious will be this final rhyme.
only one of ye may find it here,
the treasure of the Singin Buccaneer
I'll describe this place here fer ye now,
Twelve hints I will allow.
Usin' me last bottles to spread them wide.
A bottle fer each one to guide.
Some of them will reach ye,
most of them will naye.
One of ye may find me,
the rest of ye will sway.
Goodluck ye greedy bastards!
Drink sum rum in me name ye hear!
Drink and sing me final song!
The Drunken Pirate says so long!

4. Mostly ye learn nothing,
5. Mostly carved from iron,
6. Mostly carved in fire,
7. Sometimes ye learn the ropes.

#### Archivist Notes ####
The hints above are almost certainly out of order. If we believe the song of the Singin Buccaneer, there should be twelve. As of the 15th of Alturiak, AR 163, we have found seven.
Please check back frequently for updates.

Thank you to Jim Millerson for his generous gift to the Library of this scroll and five hints. Prior to this, I had only ever found a single note, and the scroll itself many years ago on the isle of Skal, before I ever became an Archivist.
