Key of the Guardian: Young Ned Hagthorpe

his child as a proper pirate. You’ve made Young Ned your Ship’s Boy and have
sworn to keep the lad safe, no matter what!

Secret of the Hidden Pocket
If you ever need to, you can produce any number of small but useful items – a
skeleton key, an oyster knife – regardless of how well you’ve been searched.
To see if you’ve got something up your sleeve, spend two Instinct and make a
successful Ability check appropriate to the item’s use.
