A damned pirate, &, is a type of monster that appears in SlashTHEM. The skeletal pirate is a type of strong, humanoid demon being that is a stronger relative of the skeletal pirate, but is a major demon rather than being undead: it is unbreathing and mindless like skeletal pirates, has infravision, displays a tendency to wander while moving, and will collect items that it comes across.

Damned pirates have a single weapon attack, and possess fire resistance, sleep resistance, poison resistance, stoning resistance, death resistance, and drain resistance. They have a weakness to silver.

Chatting to a damned pirate will cause it to respond with demonic maledictions, in contrast to damned pirates in other variants.

Generation

Damned pirates are not randomly generated, and normally-generated skeletal pirates are always created hostile. They are not a valid genocide target.

For a Pirate hero that has their quest artifact in open inventory and is in Gehennom, ¹⁄₅₀ of randomly-generated monsters will be small groups of demonic pirates.

Some damned pirates are generated on the Pirate quest during level creation: one is placed randomly on the locate level, one each is placed on the lower filler levels, and 3 are placed randomly on the goal level.

Damned pirates are generated with a cursed scimitar and cursed burnt leather armor.

Damned pirates do not leave a corpse upon death.

History

The damned pirate first appears in ChrisANG's Pirate role patch.

Encyclopedia entry

These memories were bought with the lives of good men
A price that I paid without scruple
So many souls suffered so I could get drunk
And swagger from brothel to brothel

And for what?
It's been many years
Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears
And for what?
I've blood on my hands
I wait for my place in the halls of the damned
And If I could go back and make my amends
I'd make all those mistakes again
I'd kill every last one of those bastards, my friend!
