To Captain Sparrow Regarding A Peculiar Order

To Captain Sparrow, 

Ahoy there, Captain! Professor Eldrin Nightshade here, your humble (and slightly bewildered) purveyor of potent potables and… other curiosities. I received your… ahem… unusual request, and I must confess, even I was taken aback. A Jar of Dirt, you say? Not the most glamorous of ingredients, to be sure. But then again, you were never one for convention, were you?

Fear not, Captain, for I have fulfilled your request! 

Though I did have a disturbing run in with a tribe of crusty cannibals… I managed to barter some Paprika and my pinky toe for safe passage across the island. 

I dare say it was worth it. After some investigation this Dirt does seem to have some…interesting properties. What kind of properties, you ask? Well, that's for you to discover, isn't it? (Just promise me you won't use it to grow potatoes. It's… not suited for that.) 

And because I'm feeling generous (and perhaps a little apprehensive about what you might do with that dirt), I've included a complimentary sample of Buttered Rum Tea. Perfect for those chilly nights on the high seas, or for enchanting particularly grumpy krakens. (Don't ask me how I know that.)

Fair winds and following seas (and try not to get yourself marooned again),

-Alchemist Extraordinaire (and occasional supplier of questionable soil).

P.S.

No hard feelings about the Monkey Incident. (Sill slightly traumatized but recovering). 

P.P.S. Oh, and one more thing. I almost forgot! I've also included a little something shiny in the box. Consider it my way of paying you back after that time in Tortuga. I found it while… excavating the dirt. It's probably nothing. Probably. Just… try not to spend it all in one place.
