Thomas work in the pub and gets to interact with patrons of pub.\n\nThomas is a young man and earns money working in his family's pub waiting on tables and cleaning up. Thomas's life at home is relatively good although he can't get the desire to see the world out of his head. Sometimes the captains or officers in the Royal Navy would come into the pub and tell the eloquent stories of travel to Africa or Australia which would dazzle the lad and prevent him from sleeping at night.\n\nThomas chooses to listen to stories from the officers in the Royal Navy.\n\n[[Choice one|Thomas decides to stay at home and work in his parents' pub]]\n\n[[Choice two|Thomas decides to wait until the age of 17 to join the Royal Navy]]

Shiver me timbers lad, your caught! Now get ready to walk the plank!

Thomas chooses No: “if it's all the same Sir, I think I would just like to go home to my family.”\n\nWiley Seaman (Captain): So you decide the sea life is not for you, eh? Well then we'll put you in a dingy and send you back to shore. Make sure you send your father our highest regards. His was the best ale I've had in quite some time.\n\n[[Go to the beginning|Start]]

The Wily Old Seaman: well if it isn't the young tavern boy who loves my stories. I see you just couldn't resist the call of the sea. Not to worry my boy, you're not the first and you won't be the last lad to be lured by the sea. Perhaps we can make a sailor out of you after all. What say you? Will you be my cabin boy?\n\nThomas chooses Yes: “Sir, I would be honored to be your cabin boy. I'm going to feel the sea breeze upon my face.”\n\nWiley Seaman (Captain): “Well then, let's have you get started right away shall we? Mate, take young, eh, what was your name again? Ah yes, Thomas. Take young Thomas here up to my quarters and have him shined my all boots and then make them scrub the deck.”\n\n[[Choose No|Thomas second choice after being caught]]\n

\nOutcome two: Thomas is caught above deck and it's finally confronted by the captain if this is the case go back to the last two choices made by Thomas. Alas there is also a third option.\n\n[[Thomas is caught on the ship]]\n\n[[One of Thomas's final option]]

Thomas decides to wait until the age of 17 to join the Royal Navy or become a sailor on some other ship. \n\nOne day a wily pirate ordered ale with his meal, and upon completing his meal crusty old pirate paid with several solid gold coins. Thomas has two choices.\n\n[[If Thomas refuses the gold coins|Thomas refuses the coins]]\n\n[[If Thomas accept the gold coins|Thomas accepts the coins]]

Choice one: The pirate chooses to take Thomas with him. Thomas goes with the pirate as he leaves the bar in the world of adventure on the high seas awaits Thomas. Thomas leaves a note for his parents and joined the crew of the Sea Hag. He begins his adventures as a sailor and explorer on a pirate ship. \n\n[[Choice two|The wily old pirate's second choice]]

Choice two: The wily old pirate refuses to take Thomas with him and gets up and leaves the pub. At that moment Thomas's hopes and dreams of sailing the high seas and visiting faraway lands crashes momentarily. But only momentarily as Thomas divulges a new plan as he waits on the patrons of the pub he finally decides he must follow the wily old seaman. \n\nThomas remembers the gold coins the old seaman gave him.\n\nLarge coins were heavy and Thomas his pocket, so heavy that he had to stop to put his hand in his pocket and finger their bumped yet smooth surface. What were in his hands were his childhood dreams. Coins from what might as well be a world away, real and within his grasp. \n\n[[Thomas has two choices|Thomas's Choices]]\n\n\n\n

The Wiseman & the Wolf follows the life of a young lad named Thomas Crown who lives in Manchester England around 1891. Thomas lives with his parents who own a pub, which offers breakfast lunch and dinner with its many beers and ales. The Crowns are fairly well off because the pub has many patrons who are fairly well to do frequent it daily.\n\nThomas is 14 years old and he must choose either to work in the pub or stay-at-home.\n\n[[Thomas stays at home]]\n\n[[Thomas works in the pub]]

Choice one: he turn around and leaves to go back to his quiet life. \n\n[[Thomas decides to stay at home and work in his parents' pub]]\n\n[[Choice two|Thomas's second choice]]

Thomas accepts the gold coin. He turns the piece over in his fingers, examining the soft Spanish patterns cut into it. His heart starts to pound, as he's never held such a wage. The pirate grins as he watches Thomas stare at the lustrous metal bit. In the boy's mind he's on a beach digging a pit. Pirates surround the opening and watch as Thomas tirelessly bores downward until they hear a thunk. Within minutes, Thomas superhumanly pushes a large, chain-covered chest out of the hole, and climbs out. The Pirates cheer as the boy kicks at the rusted chains until they break, and the drunk spills its treasures on the sand. It's a mighty hall gold artifacts and double blooms. Captain McBain is there and places a hand on his shoulder. \n\n“Yer the best digger I've ever seen, Thomas Crown. Come, let's celebrate on the Sea Hag. You earned a man's share of this loot!” Thomas snaps out of his reverie. “You have to take me with you!” he says. \n\n[[The wily old pirate's choices]]

Choice two: he had made up his mind. He was getting on that ship. The coin suddenly gave him the courage. His steps became lite and he moves quickly.\n\nStanding before the massive ship Thomas fingered the coins again, this time closing his eyes and feeling their call. They were magic and while he didn't know how they did what they did, he enjoyed the feeling. Pictures of great adventures that waited for him flashed in front of his eyes. Treasures, which he couldn't yet put a name to, flashed in front of his eyes, great battles in victory, soared through his mind.\n\nIt happened this way before, when he used the coins but now it was so much richer and more detailed. He was getting better at it. In back of Thomas his mind he did question the validity of the visions. 1. Were they real or they just his dreams tapped by the coins and shown back to him? He didn't know what kind of magic birth the coins whether good or evil. Perhaps he wasn't being shown the future? He wasn't sure. He decided though, that he was ready. Thomas took a huge breath and concentrated just a bit harder. To any observer watching him, the man that stood in front of them, disappeared, to Thomas he took the final steps in securing him on board mastership and into dreams.\n\n[[Thomas boards the Sea Hag]]

The Wiseman & the Wolf

Thomas refuses the gold coins. He turns the piece over in his fingers, examining the soft Spanish patterns cut into it. Although this would help his family immensely, he knows he's not allowed to accept gifts from visitors to the pub. Most of them are drunk when they give things away, and might not remember being so generous. \n\n“I can't accept the charity, sir. Me mom will have me at the switch,” says Thomas handing back the coin.\n\nThe parts beard splits into a grin. He nods and takes a drink from his tankard of ale, and then wipes his mouth on sleeve of his brown waistcoat. “Your mother raised well, lad. Perhaps you make a good addition to his majesties Royal Navy,” he says. “Farewell to you, young servant.” He grabs his tricorn hat, presses it down onto moppy, bandanna covered head, and leaves. (Dead end)\n\n[[Go to next choice|Thomas accepts the coins]]

Mark Washington

Thomas relizes he must work day after day, keeping very long hours with not much to gain. Then he must go home to a boring evening each night.\n\n[[Thomas works in the pub]]

Thomas finds himself without explanation on board the Sea Hag with sailors scurrying all about him. He quickly goes below deck on the Sea Hag to find a place to hide and stowaway unnoticed by the crew. 48 hours later Thomas realizes that he cannot stay below deck on the long voyage. He discovers he must go above deck and see what's going on. His adventures on the ship have two possible outcomes. \n\nOutcome one: Thomas is caught below deck of the pirate ship.\n\nThe Wily Old Seaman: well if it isn't the young tavern boy who loves my stories. I see you just couldn't resist the call of the sea. Not to worry my boy, you're not the first and you won't be the last lad to be lured by the sea. Perhaps we can make a sailor out of you after all. What say you? Will you be my cabin boy?\n\nThomas chooses Yes: “Sir, I would be honored to be your cabin boy.
