The Journal of Colin Gram

1. Stingers- Small pellets i developed as a boy out of a small amount of gunpowder and compressed flint, quite good for giving people fun horse rides.

2. The Phoenix Saber- My standard saber with a few modifications (i don't want to give away all of my secrets in case someone found this)

3. The Powder Claw- A claw mounted inside a modified cannon used for high wall/cliff climbing or as i found in my use today, ship retrieval.

4. Volcano Rounds- Small compressed phosphorus projectiles combined with very fine grade gunpowder to produce a burning effect before the final explosion. Note to self: rounds + trees = bad idea

5. The Repeating Sharpshooter- A standard musket with a modified barrel for accuracy along with a slender spyglass for sighting. Also includes a canister which is attached to the bottom which contains 10 rounds attached to small gunpowder-filled woolen pouches.

6. The Bola Gun- a standard pistol with a large musket barrel and fires 2 weights connected by a chain. The test run today on a drunkard went well but consider lengthening the chain to make it harder to remove.

7. Dragon Saber- My dress saber with a silver hilt engraved with the image of a dragon which conceals a dagger.

8. Helix Saber- My latest saber which has 2 blades on it which seperates into 2 identical sabers

9. Blood Red- a saber with a serrated blade, a blood red hilt bearing the image of a skull and conceals a powder thrust (i will not go into detail for fear this may be recreated), i no longer use this blade of death, i simply keep it as a grim reminder of my past.

10. The Pocket Torch- a small collapsable torch with a built in flint ignitor. Very usefull in a tight spot.

Why did Norrington have to bring me back to this horrid place? I hoped that i never had to return here after the horrible things i had done. Luckily it seems that they've stopped looking and no one even seems to talk about it anymore. (Thank god)
I find it strange that my occupation at the fort carries no real title, but i won't complain since i am being treated fairly well and they have no problem with me keeping Sheela in the workshop.
An interesting young woman named Elizabeth came down to the workshop and appears to have a profound interest in my inventions which i find quite odd for a woman of her stature.
I was also ordered to search a small ship marked "M.P. 3", such a strange marking. While i was on the ship i came across an item which chilled me to the bone, it was a gold coin which was identical to the one i had seen at my last job in this place. It seems that i can not escape my past...

I went to the tavern on my way home to retrieve an item for the workshop and found a drunkard causing trouble with Ms. Hart, of course being the gentleman i am i had to intervene. When he tried to get away from his bill i gave the bola gun a test run , which went quite well except he rolled down onto the beach and was able to escape from the bola (note: Consider lengthening chain). I also fired a volcano round at the tree he was hiding behind and the explosion caused the man to fly down the beach (Quite funny to see a fat man fly i must say). I tended to the man and paid his bill. I sat down with Ms. Hart and a group of newcomers and asked them about the "M.P. 3" and the strange coin (that horrid coin). The newcomers dressed very strangely which leads me to believe that they may be pirates.

One more event to add to the horrors of my life...

Pirates attacked the fort during the party and slaughtered everyone, but luckily several of us survived. I fought 3 of them and gave all 3 mortal wounds, but they just got back up! What the hell is going on here?!

Elizabeth and KC now know about their parents' demise. I only wish that i could ease their suffering. But right now we must break the curse that is upon the black pearl and the pirates aboard so that we may kill them. I will personally assure the safety of my new friends even if it means i must die in the process. Blood Red shall learn the taste of pirate blood!

quite an interesting turn of events has happened, I met up with my old friend Jim while searching for a crew. It seems that he and jack have had a previous altercation but hopefully that won't impede our progress. On a seperate note, we encountered this very strange group who seem enamered with Jack, very strange indeed...

I suppose that i should finally chronicle the horrid events that occured on my last visit to the Port...

Several years ago, i arrived in Port Royale and was met by the previous Commodore who's name escapes me. He had heard of me and wished to hire me to assassinate 2 corrupt high ranking officials who were accused of dealing with pirates and make them look like average occurances. Although i did not agree, he offered quite a large sum so i accepted. That very night i broke into the first official's home and killed his entire family, making it look like an animal attack (quite easy to do with the unique blade of Blood Red). That was most likely the most brutal killing i had ever done. Word quickly spread and i had done my job in making it look like an animal. The next night i broke into the second's home i stabbed him from behind with a dagger then used my "Powder thrust" which is a small dagger-like weapon which fires a small powder charge when it is used to imitate a gunshot. I planned to make it look like a robbery so i took a few objects, but when a small box fell over and spilled onto the floor i saw it. That horrid coin that will forever haunt my memory, it looked exactly like what i found on the ship i searched. Seeing that coin, i dropped everything i planned to take to make it look like the robber was scared off and i ran. I could not live with myself knowing that i had done those awful things, so i fled the port and went to Tortuga. As you know, i came back recently. I am glad to have met my new friends though.

I hope that someday this can be found and the truth can be known...
