The Wormwood is a three-masted sailing ship, 100 feet long from stem to stern, and 30 feet wide amidships.
The Wormwood is crowded with pirates constantly moving about the ship, so it is not a static location, and any place on the ship can contain a variety of NPCs to interact with.
Captain Harrigan and Mr. Plugg spend most of their time on the Foredeck. When the captain is on deck, the poop deck is off-limits to everyone but officers.
Owlbear Hartshorn is invariably chained to the foremast in the Middle Hold here to keep him from causing trouble and to keep people out of the officers’ cabin.
Grok sleeps in the Quartermaster and Cook's Cabin at night, as does Kroop, who is found here during the day as well if he is insensibly drunk. In general, Kroop is usually insensibly drunk in his quarters during the evening, rarely venturing onto deck after serving the evening meal.
The ship’s quartermaster, Cut-Throat Grok, can usually be found in the Quartermaster's Store, a cramped, crowded storeroom containing numerous barrels, boxes, and chests. In the evenings, she locks the store and carouses on deck, drinking and gambling with the other pirates before returning to her cabin to sleep it off.
Mr. Plugg, Master Scourge, Riaris Krine, Peppery Longfarthing, and Habbly Quarne sleep in the Officer's Quarters at night, and at least one of them may often be found here at any given time during the day as well.
The captain’s cabin girl, “Caulky” Tarroon, sleeps on a small cot in the starboard compartment of the Captain's Quarters.
Two of Mr. Plugg’s toadies, Kipper and Patch Patchsalt, have claimed the far forward section of the hold as their own, and their hammocks are strung between the foremast and the stairs leading up to the middle hold (area A6).
An iron cage hangs from the side of the mizzenmast, containing the body of Harmak Gruft, a pirate who beat the captain at dice. Gruft is dead, but his ugly parrot Pluck perches atop the cage, still waiting for its master to awaken. Pluck is considered unfriendly and possesses a considerable vocabulary of appalling curse words.
