Ideal for: those who want to travel
Job Specifications: You, and dozens of other people who are literally
stuck in the same boat, pull the heavy oars that transport cargo to and from
the various trading posts. Since your rather paranoid employers are afraid
that you’ll a) escape, or b) join ranks and murder everyone on the ship
before making a mad dash to freedom, your wrists and ankles are chained and
shackled to your seats.
Drawbacks: as a slave, you don’t have that many rights. They feed you only
enough for you to have the energy to work, so get used to a diet of
blackened bread and murky water. Not that you have much of an appetite:
seasickness constantly remains to be a problem, and the boards of the boat
are slimy with vomit. In case the boat sinks, you go down with it—assuming
you don’t die of scurvy first.
Perks: You see the world. OR at least, as much as you can, being chained
to a ship.
