"Oh, hello there. I suppose I should tell you as well." He takes a short drink of his ale. "The barge I was on, the Corianna, was attacked on the way back from Cobston. It was such a great day before it happened, too. I let Nando do the negotiations when we were buying rare herbs back in the city, and he'd managed to get an excellent price, a bit lower than what I'm able to get, even. I was impressed. But then, as we went around a forested curve in the river, a bit before the village of Ley's Mill, we were boarded from another barge, and some arrows came out of the trees on the banks. They took all our cash, some cloth that was being shipped, all of the pepper that I had bought, some of the food onboard, and finally, they took poor Nando. It was all over in a few minutes, they left on their barge, heading downstream."
