October - Epitaph Contest
 

Post it here probably.

Here's mine:


Shadowsoul was quite the pirate
Until the events that evil night.
He was fighting the undead on Padres
Until he saw Jolly Roger's face.
He ran as fast as he could,
just as he knew he should.
But Jolly Roger was faster
and you know what happens after.
Now old Shadow is one of the undead
and these were the last words he said:

UNDEAD MEN TELL GOOD TALES!!!

Here lies the pirate Ed
Sadly, he is now Dead
Because something fell on his head
He now knows what not to do
Don't fall into a trap intended for you.
That night a srange wind blew...
On Port Royal, Jolly came
Ed laughed at this game
Ed, called him a bad name
Jolly threw a adder at his head
He did not know that he was dead
In fact he lived instead!

Here lies a man who is alive
may these shacles let him not thrive.
For he still lives, plotting to send you for an eternal dive.


BEWARE EDWARD BURNSKULL
1642 AD - Present
[Insert a stone carving of Eds face]






Details about the Epitaph:
The tombstone is a black stone in the shape of a ↓. The stone is covered with a victims blood, and grave shacles. At midnight on hollows eve. Ed's carving of a face will dishappear, leaving his ignited skull, for he is not in his place, each year it is illeged that he comes out and kills one pirate. The stone is surrounded by a pile of decayed bones. They too reek havoc as the undead on Hallows eve. There is nothing other than them surrounding him for 42 feet, and everything within 42 meters is dead (42 is my favorite number). All of those who went to vanquish Ed died looking at the stone, so no picture was made. My location is a mystery, for you will seek me, but never find me.

the headstone itself is made of bronze, with a large, gold hawk being hanged from gallows

it is said that every febuary, Davy comes alive, and the "body" is roaming, during this time, the hawk portrayed in the headstone becomes alive aswell, and the only way to kill Davy is to kill the hawk, which usually goes home to the skies

Young Angel was a bright one,
Having a strong hand made of bronze,
She danced as she fought,
Thinking nothing about her end.

The end came,
As Angel saw,
Her mouth opened into a small smile,
And an owl flew over the sky.

The Gravestone shall look like this :

it's tall and gray with specks of dust over it. These words, I have written above, will be imprinted in tiny letters in the middle. The head of a stone shall have a music note of any kind. At the bottom, shall be the picture of a heart and owl tangled together with the words 'Tide Dancer' below the heart and owl.

Here Lies Jack,
Whom we thought came back,
but turns out when death came to jack with roger,
Jack just could not dodge 'er.
While we thought nothing can stop a god,
we remembered this was the god of odd.
Tis there a lesson to be learned?
Yes, as long as you live...
Never EVER write 'Jack Rulez and EKB Droolz' on the sailors yern.

*dramatic Bow*

The name says it all, he died from a fall
Never learned to swim, which made him feel of so quite dim....
Had another name before this "Dead Joke".... Either way he's one dead bloke
"Edward Ironbones" read his stone "He is now Dead and Gones"

Liz was a whiz in the sailing biz
For she loved the ocean blue
Twas a dreadful night when she saw the surface fizz
Up came the Flying Dutchman bold and true
The organ played and the cannons roared
Down with her ship she went
Back to the depths the Dutchman soared
Now here her time is spent

With gun and sword I terrored the sea
That was what lead to the end of me
Finally laid in the cold damp ground
When from the gibbet they brought me down
Capt. William Kid 1645-1701

Eliza T. Creststeel

Our daughter of the sea
Whose blonde Amazon might
and strength in a fight,
was matched only by her love
of hearing the call - "helm's alee!"

Many a kindred spirit knew her love
and she was a sister to all.
When that day came of her fall -
she met her death valiant.
Now, she sails the clouds above



Lying Next to:

Here lies
Johnny Places
Thought his two pair
could beat four Aces

The text says:
"A pirate lies here
O'Malley she be
Lisa the Mighty
Queen of the Sea
She met her fate
She has passed on
But her legend remains
And will always live on
For as she is now
Soon you shall be
So hoist up the sails
And voyage the sea"

Ok, I got one:


Here lies Will, an easy kill, Hit in the head with a 'nade.
But wait, Will's not the one we want,
It's Jason who was on the hunt.
Looking for the Fountain, yes he was.
The Fountain of Youth indeed.
But all the myths, legends, stories too.
He did not care to heed.
Jack Sparrow wanted to get there first,
He really wanted to quench the thirst.
But Ol' Jason got the best of the man,
He knocked him out with the palm of his hand.
Now Jason knew this was bad.
He tried to cover Jack, with whatever he had.
Took the sail of the Pearl, yes he did.
With which he covered Jack, the whole body it hid.
Now my friends, Jason got to the Fountain of Youth,
Upon he gazed with fear,
Then upon Jason's smooth face,
Came rolling down a tear.
He knew that all he did was wrong,
He thought about what he did,
Thats when HE was struck in the head,
By Good Ol' Cap'n Kidd.
Jason woke up in the bottom of a well,
Which it was not very hard to tell,
It was in this well that he had fell.
Jason cried out in agony,
Then a ray of hope he came to see,
A Red Hawk swooping down below,
And came down and stopped his glee.
The Hawk killed Jason then and there,
Then pulled him up by strands of hair.
He was buried then in that same spot,
Which is known today as The Red Hawk's Dot.

The End.

Tombstone: A well, Red of course with a bronze hawk on the edge.


Some helpful hints: Will is Jason's brother, who wanted to be buried with him.
They are next to each other, and Jason's ( Sorry it's so long ) Will's just says the parts about him.

R.I.P.

Here Lies Ol' Erich,
He was too barbaric,
He lost his head with a cutlass in his head,
The Blood has been shed, here lies good ol' Erich

She fought and she did plunder
so now you may all wonder
How a pirate; fierce and brave
came to lie here in this grave.
It's a story to tell,
and tell it she did well.
So that many a man
Will do what they can
To set her spirit free,
letting it forever roam the sea.
Through the years,
she conquered her fears,
drank lots of rum,
got gangreen on her thumb.
But that never stopped her,
she kept going after
Jolly Roger's undead,
cutting off each head.
With her bounty raised high,
her spirit wanted to fly,
or sail far away,
and stay more than a day.
But alas, what a travesty,
the body of her majesty,
washed up on shore,
with only the bones of her core.
So her friends dug a hole
to rest her soul.
They laid her body in
and said good-bye with a grin.
Now her story's been told,
it's gotten a little bit old.
But at last she's at rest
in a place she loves best.

A lost glitch master,
Twas the best, no doubt,
He was glitchin' all about
Too much glitching so he must pay,
Here lays the swasho-buckler II

David Stormrage - When that crazy swashbuckler dies
 

David Stormrage kicked the bucket
Because of his little light sloop
He tried to take a frigate
But ended up looking a goof
So now he rests in this deep hole
With chunks of grape shot in his foot
His ghost comes out sometimes though
But the frigates he will not try to loot

History: David just came out of the Kings Arm and it seems he had too much rum. So he decided to go plundering in his light sloop the Floundering Minnow. This didn't go too well and he ended up dying because of a dreadnaught cannoneer that was good with grape shot.

Legend: It is said that sometimes you can still see the Floundering Minnow trying to destroy a Dreadnaught. Everytime it disappears as soon as the first broadside is fired. It is also said that the jacket he wore still floats out in the open sea.

Tombstone: Rectangular with a little light sloop figurine always standing on it. Also a tall oak tree behind it as the sloop he died in was made mostly from oak.


Yeah I know it probably won't win but it's worth a try and in the end at least I shared something with the pirates!

The grave of ol' Davil lays here
Who had plundered for years
But had a run in with ol' Jolly
And then struck ol' Davil down

Fer me main pirate William Whalebones


Here lies William bold and true
A cutlass ran him through and though
Against the EITC he fought
Now he's here to stay and rot
His spirit though does haunt the night
Looking for EITC to fight

He will not 'RIP'

Edit: changed He to Here in first line.

Here lies Ella,
Open her grave,
She's no longer bella!

this be cursed soil
and what lies beneath
is rotting flesh
and a few good teeth

they once belonged
to a pirate master
he thought he was fast
but could have been faster

he sailed the seas
and roamed the land
sank scores of ships
enemies died by his hand

he's been sent to hell
from where he was spat
here lies the remains
of Sven Ironrat

Here Lies Jade Willows
A Pirate Tried & True
Loved Anything Bright & Blue
Her Fate & Wonder
of Pirate Plunder
Did her Under

Matthew Burnshot

A great pirates
He sailed all seven seas
He was the greatest pirates of them all

Kelly Wildhawk

Here she lies in sweet repose
Put to rest by her ruthless foes.

R.I.P.
Alehahaa
Level 1 – Level 41


Her life was tough and brief,
Aided by barrels of rum.
Now her ETC mates lie in grief,
For her life came to a sum.
Too groggy to rationalize,
She foolishly took the helm.
And came upon a Behemoth twice her size,
In a terrifying realm!
After an unsuccessful flee,
She secured the grappling hooks
To the treacherous and devilish beastie
And prepared to face the EITC crooks.
Her enemies were liquidated
By the might of her deadly grenade,
But her confidence quickly faded,
For her health mysteriously waned.
As Aleh's health continued down its wretched spiral,
She fetched her rum, for one last chug.
And with a shrug, yelled:
“RATS! This must have been another Disney bug!”:psmiley27:

Here lies Eliza,
She fought long and hard
On land and at sea
Until one day an enemie's cannon rang true
and her ship became her tomb
at the bottom of the deep

My tombstone.

Here lies League.
He's the underworld's problem now.

okay thanx sven! well here is mine, sorry about not being able to read the writing on the tombstone but when i did that the image itself was a lot bigger and i had to resize it but what is says will be under the pic. sorry once again and thank you!

Here lies a true pirate, mate
many sorrow her terrible fate
healing fellow dueces as they play
Couldnt see whats coming her way
Cursed Caverns made her slumberous
sleeping near enemies is disastrous
waking up in Davy's tight Grip
took off running but didnt see the dip
beaten by Urchinfist and Thrall Captain
well, you can guess what happen!

Here lies Jar,
He died in the bar

There is a story of a haunted grave found on outcast. See, the cross placed at the dead pirate's head is made from the cursed bark of the boss stump found there. This pirate found a sad fate while fighting that same stump. It seems that at the end of the fight the stump killed her as she made the final blow to kill the stump. There is a writing on the cross. It reads like this:

There once was a pirate named Kate
Who met a cursed fate
While fighting this stump
He did jump
And she swallowed her tonic too late.

It is said that she haunts this same isle, warning others of this curse. The curse of hitting the tonic button too late.....Ye be warned!

My tombstone will say,

been there done that..

My tombstone will say:

The Cadet be no longer, may he rest in pieces here.

(I will work on a graphic thing for it later.)

Here lies the Hawke
(But not really)
Lost to the hangman's noose
(Or so ya think)
Decided to give up his pirating ways
(Met a girl is more like it)
But his fame had traveled far and wide
(Turns out that was a bad thing)
Got himself hung for the girl he loved
(Gettin married an that's far worse!)
So here lies the Hawke
(But not really)
No longer at sea, no longer he be
The Hawke

entry
 

Greengene was here but now he's gone.
Always it's color, now part of the lawn!
:pirate41::greensmilies-030:

RIP Hunny...
 

Here She Lies, Lest We Forget,
The Fearless Blade of Charlotte,
To Battle Fierce She Swiftly Went,
By Grievous Blow Was Finally Spent.

Alright here it goes....

Being dead is not a fright
Simply being alive might
Now JACK here is lifeless
And now knife-less
Sad as it can be
He'll be across the sea
Haunting and Hunting
Alive or Dead
Serving for the ones
He once tread

It should like something like this: A stubby arc shaped concrete thing very run down with the stupid poem i wrote and must never be visited

Born - 1795
Died - 1864

I be Dead... Now what?
 

Here lies Jack Swordfish,
but, to you, a friend,
To which we are very sad
to apprehend
That he was recently sent
to be "mend"
At the Fisherman's Bend,
but therefore witnessed
THE END

Here lies Capt C Ray
Proud pirate and member
of the mighty ETC guild.
He fought by his brethrens
side through many an invasion
until he came face to face with
Jolly Roger himself.
Ray now sails the open seas
by Jolly's side.

Here's mine, good luck everyone

Happy Halloween

Here lies Molly Blue
She was one of the strongest of the Krewe
Until she messed with Fluffy, a gator
Then all the Krewe, they did hate her
So when Jolly Rodger did attack
No one had her back
That was one puzzle she could not crack

(The following coincides with my story "The Fireheart Sisters" aka "Maria Fireheart's Journal." Parts you may recognize, the rest, in a way hints to the direction of the story.. ;))

Here lies Juliana Fireheart:

Dead by the hand of her sister Maria.
It had to be done there was no other way.
For she was so heinously lead astray,
by he who's evil love took over her being.

"She will have a hand in death"
The old man said who had foreseen,
her fiery future, her dying breath.

"Die she must or death will transpire"
Was the only answer to this situation, so dire.
Maria knew what had to be done,
She had to end what they had begun.
And so she took the dagger and pierced her heart.

Finally freed from her wicked lover's curse.
Juliana slowly fell to the floor,
with look of relief upon her face,
For she knew the world was safe once more.

To this day, we still don't know
The truth behind this tragic woe.

This here be Luckie O'Clover, once luckier than any
This Pirate Pixie had mates, good cheer, and wisdom a plenty

It matters not in life whether it be win, lose, or fail
Although you can't control the wind, you CAN adjust your sail.

Did I make it?
