Gosh, I always have trouble telling them apart. But I eventually succeeded.

This might be satisfying solely because I didn't particularly enjoy the rest of the arc.

"...keel-hauling..."
Kudos to L for thinking that peice of pure geneous (sp?) up.

I don't think there are pirates in NetHack. (Awh man!)

There could be a pirate class, and their questMany, possibly most, Tours are organized as a Quest. This
is like a large-scale treasure hunt, with clues scattered
all over the continent, a few false leads, Mystical Masters
as game-show hosts, and the Dark Lord and the Terrain to
make the Quest interestingly difficult. [...]
In order to be assured of your future custom, the Management
has a further Rule: Tourists, far from being rewarded for
achieving their Quest Object, must then go on to conquer
the Dark Lord or set about Saving the World, or both. And
why not? By then you will have had a lot of practice in
that sort of thing and, besides, the Quest Object is usually
designed to help you do it.

enemy would be a ninjaThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the
earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but
occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit
mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often
resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of
using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the
Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.

Valkyries can be swashbucklers, so no.
Or is that barbarians... cavemen?

Bah.

Someone made a patch to add the Pirate class. They start out with sea biscuits.

He doesn't talk in triple rhymes, unfortunately.
