I suppose you could call Timbers my girlfriend. I met her a year ago when I was at sea under Captain Hark during one of our expeditions. We ended up boarding the ship
Hades' Grail because Hark held a longstanding grudge against its captain - probably due to a barfight or something equally trivial. I felt fairly remorseful in conducting an unprovoked attack, but Hark threatened to gut us otherwise.
Anyway, we hopped aboard the ship and killed everyone, including the captain. Or at least, we thought we did. While we were still looting his chests, the ship's mast came crashing down, crushing three of our men. I investigated and found her there - the only surviving
Hades' Grail crew member, and we'd somehow missed her. Probably due to her sly ways. I was ready to gut her just as well once I cornered her, but she instead asked to join our crew. Hark initially refused, but I promised him that she'd be useful, given what she pulled during our battle. At last she joined us, and I insisted we change her name from "Lily" to something much more fitting, hence the name "Timbers." To this day, we "share" a cabin on our ship. Our crew mates give us the eye on occasion, but I find it rather amusing.
Or maybe I was just quoting South Park in my original post. You decide.
