• Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, then he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting "All gods are bastards".
• Being Ymor's right-hand man was like being gently flogged to death with scented bootlaces.
• When one foot is stuck in the Grey Miasma of H'rull it is much easier to step right in and sink rather than prolong the struggle.
• Some pirates achieved immortality by great deeds of cruelty or derring-do. Some achieved immortality by amassing great wealth. But the captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.
