Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cannonball Swim
Help out a fellow swabbie? Keelhaul asked me to gather up some cannonballs at the bottom of the ocean. Let me tell you why this doesn't work for me. - One: I have tiny arms. Look at them! Do you really think I can pick up a cannonball, even underwater? - Two: I have a weak respiratory system.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Ol' Blasty
We've got some work to do. How much experience have you got with cannons? Hmm... really? Well, how about with ancient, fallin'-apart pirate cannons? We've got a few cannons updecks that work the old-fashioned way: you load one cannonball in at a time, aim, lock it into place, and fire.
