Pirate ship & unfinished usecode

[Andrea B Previtera]

I had a sudden unexpected memory of having encountered a Pirate Ship (a static one, of course) while playing the original BG, which for some reason I could never encounter again. Did I dream, or is there actually something like that?

Also: I probably asked this already, but - is there "dormant" usecode for the Iskandar (that cyclops hidden in one of the tethraedron dungeons) quest, which seems to be unfinished?

The ship is really there. It's a bit north of Serpent's Hold.

Yes, there is a pirate's ship, but I thought it was a little off the coast (and maybe south) of Trinsic.

About Iskander, I remember reading in the Usecode that there was more stuff you could do on that quest, but I could never get him or those 2 women to say anything more.

South-east off the coast of Trinsic _is_ north of Serpent's Hold

I've often wondered about that pirate ship..

Yep the pirate ship is there I even used to have a system to find it, board it and of course loot it.

I too always wondered if there was supposed to be more to do with Iskandar and the 2 sisters.

Also in the secret cave north of Jhealon omong aother booty are three ship deeds, I alwsys wondered if the ships they went to existed in the game but never found any sign of them.

The deeds in the secret cave are to old ships, at least one of which existed in U6 - the Golden Hind. There are two women on Buccaneer's Den who will join your party in U6 - one is the captain of the Golden Hind.

Yes, the usecode is implemented, I have seen people mention getting it to happen. Back when playing the original BG, I was able to get Iksander to tell me what happened to their father and why, but never able to go back to the girls and tell them this.
