If I do, it will be through a subsidiary and I shall plant notes among my staff giving details about the nearest Aspis Consortium headquarters, perhaps with a friendly note from them with only a cursive initial (vaguely resembling several letters) and a hint of their logistics (vaguely phrased around nonspecific dates).

<p>112) I will not us my crew members as test subjects even when they are punished. This severely reduces ship morale.</p>
<p>113) I will be careful with my plague and poison bombs around my companions. They need to be strategically placed, not lobbed wherever I please.</p>
<p>114a) I will keep my captain's log coded in an uncommon language to keep its secrets from falling into the wrong hands.</p>
<p>114b) Barring that, I will destroy the log if my capture or death seems imminent.</p>
<p>115) I will not go out of my way to piss off the legendary Hellknight pirate hunter until I am ready to goad him into my carefully laid trap.</p>
<p>116) I will pay my crew with a portion of our hard-earned gold. They might be NPCs, but that does not mean the DM can't make them mutiny if I overlook them too much.</p>
<p>117) I will not force my cannibalistic or religious tendencies on my crewmen. Just because they don't have my refined palate or worldview does not give me the right to lord it over them. It is a good way to get denounced as captain.</p>
<p>118) I will indulge in occasional theatrics and displays of ferocity to keep my reputation intact but must temper these with meticulous, level-headed decision making.</p>
<p>119) I will not allow my self-consciousness of my appearance keep me from growing a pair of wings that let me fly. The boon far outweighs the reputation for being called 'creepy'.</p>
<p>120) I will reward crew members for a job well done and reserve real punishments for active and deliberate transgressions. This system works much better than the previous captain's.</p>
<p>121) That said, I will not spare the whip when it is needed. Some people need their loved ones flayed before their eyes to teach them a lesson.</p>
<p>122) If this creates complications, I will not hesitate to have the crewman eliminated. I will be honest and open with my crew about what happened rather than lie.</p>NE Pirate Captain Alchemist's Addendum to the Evil Overlord List:
