    Thoreal goes about his business, quickly leaving the prisoner to the bleeding hearts of the company. The prisoner had it right. He basically didnt really care. What ever laws these humans followed would surely sort this out. Dispatching Gilly to set up his hammock, and prepare his area the mage heads above deck to seek out the Captain.

    Rasellia wolfs down her bowlful of gruel, nearly gagging at the bland, slimy coldness oozing down her throat. Finishing it off quickly, she helps herself to another half-bowl, definitely not relishing the taste, but feeling the need to stave off her hunger as long as possible so she wouldn't have to dig into this bilge once more.
    Once she finished choking down her meal, she sets up her things around one of the designated hammocks, taking the time to clean her sword and wipe down her ashen face, sootied from the fire and ash of the burning town. Once she's made herself a bit more presentable, she takes off her armour, deciding it would be a bit too cumbersome for deckhand work, and sets off in search of Dwack or the captain.

    As the others leave and as you are about to turn away, the condemned man turns back to you and says, "Wait noble, maybe we can form a deal. You seem to want or need some information. While I cannot directly give you this information, I can set you up with a...um...friend, that can help you. What do you say, you help me escape, I help you find your way?"

    [Everyone Else]

    The captain smiles as he sees you up on the deck ready to work. "Aye, Make yourselves useful, there is food that needs to be made, decks washed, sails repaired, etc."

    You see a few dwarves cleaning what look to be large metal pipes with wood at the other end. They seem to be cleaning them very carefully.

    These metal pipes are Archibus, or firearms that propel metal rocks at high velocities with nonmagical explosions.

    The days stretch on as you help out with the ship, taking watches, cleaning, and doing miscellaneous jobs. You look forward to having solid ground underneath your feet. You are now into the sea, you can only vaguely see the shore on either side. You look forward to seeing nesmee.

    "I will think about your offer as we have many days aboard this ship." With that said he leaves the prisoner and returns topside. He knows little about sailing but knows a lot about ropes and knots. He pays close attention to the men attending to the riggings of the ship as well as attaching the sails. Calthoric knows it will only come in handy all too soon to know how to untie certain knots and though he recognized a few of the ones used on the ship he was more then eager to observe and learn to tie the ones he had not.

    During his off duty times he banters and makes small talk with the crew getting a feeling for the captain and the dwarven race in general as he has encountered few. Feeling comfortable with the crew and able to pick up on the subtleties he approaches the captain. "Captain if I may trouble you with some questions. I have traveled below decks looking for the privy and stumbled across your prisoner. I am to understand you said you were taking the "bounty" to somewhere. Bounty hunting has always been an interest of mine and I am sure you are notable in the trade. May I inquire about the price of the bounty and who and where you plan on delivering him to? It is a profession I have thought about pursuing but making contacts in such an area is difficult.

    The Captain smiles as you bring up the topic of a bounty. "Aye, I be bring t'is lass to the 'Ouse of Nord, w'ere 'e will stand trial for 'is crimes. Ye reputation is w'at gets ye jobs. Ye got to start small, finding some cut purses and getting ye name big. Sometimes you 'ear t'ings in bars, sometimes, on the streets, sometimes ye join a crew bring in a big game."

    After a few more days of moping decks, repairing sails, and helping out around the ship you see Nesmee approaching. The high walls and towers remind you of how much you have missed this place. Soon the boat bumps up against the dock. "T'anks for ye e'lp, be seeing ye now." Is all the captain says as you exit the ship. The dwarves with their metal rods escort the prisoner away and you now stand on the ground a few meters away from the docks.

    Pleased to finally be back on dry land, the wizard takes in a deep breath of the salty sea air. Smugly looking about the port scene before him he smiles. It was no small task to make him self as small as possible on that vessel. Staying out of the way was entirely more important that helping, although he did what he could. He had avoided most of his companions on the journey, deeming it better to think things through. Clear his mind. The questions would be answered soon enough. Turning about, he spots Bolvar and Calthoric looking about similarly to him. Off to the side stands Rasellia. Whelp... no time like the present

    "So... everyone enjoy their little cruise? Rasellia, i presume enough time has passed that your...um, little monthly visitor has come and gone? In a better mood are we??" The mage chuckles a bit, showing not malace, but a desire to break the ice. "Whell... since you've adopted the mantle of moral compass for the company, where to?"

    Pulling the captain aside and in a hushed tone he speaks to the captain. "Captain, if I could trouble you for a favor though I know this is a steep one to ask. May I purchase your bounty from you? I wish to make a name as I stated earlier in your trade. I am sure even in your early beginnings of your most illustrious career as a bounty hunter you received a hand from a veteran. I ask you for this assistance.

    Rasellia narrows her eyes as Calthoric runs forward and whispers. What's he scheming now...? She scowls to herself, not really hearing Thorael's comment (thank all that is holy) for a few moments. Snapping out of her thoughts, she turns to look at him, blinking in surprise. "I'm... no leader, Thorael... but we have to get Solace somewhere safe. Perhaps there is a diviner or wizard powerful enough to discern where the rest of it is?" She pulls out the rod, looking at it. "Unless you can tell us where...?"

    "I did not realize he was that important of a bounty. Kidnapping a nobleman though a terrible crime does not seem to warrant such a bounty. Unless, of course, the nobleman is still missing. Either way I will not ask you to trust me with a bounty of such price nor can I afford to buy it from you. I did speak with the bounty and he did mention an accomplice here in town. Perhaps an arrangement can be made to ensnare the second? I am sure there is an equal bounty or at least significant one enough to make it worth your time."

    "I did not get enough information out of the encounter. However he said he would lead me to this friend if I helped him escape so that i might acquire some information that I am after. I am not going to guarantee that there is profit to be made, but if he has a friend here it is a good bet they had a hand in his exploits. If you let me take him as or at least make it look like I am aiding his escape at night before taking him to claim the bounty we might be able to get both what we want. You more bounty and I information. However we'll need to work together on this as well as keep it quiet. What say ye captain?"


    Calthoric takes another look around then eyes the prisoner and flashes him a quick wink and a slight nod when he is sure the dwarves are not looking.

    "Well I cannot prove that I am or I am not in league with the prisoner so that is going to be something for you to decide. As far as our first meeting, perhaps if I had a loyal crew of men behind me honesty would have been the first course of action as the men would have insured my safty. I did not deny my ruse when it was exposed, perhaps that says something perhaps it does not. I must return to my group and my plan would give you a chance to double your purse. It is simple do you wish to attempt to earn more gold or stick with what you have. I will find what I need another way if need be. Yes or no Captain."

    Thorael quickly nods in agreement with Bolvar. "Right you are Bolvar, right you are." Turning to Rasellia, then back to Bolvar "It is critical friends that we speak not of this to anyone until we better know whats going on. It may bring danger to us, or to this whole city. Rasellia, you claim no desire to lead, yet you have been reluctant to follow. Your inability to follow along with Calthoric's ruse on the boat could have jeopardized all of our safety had those dwarves been... full of malice. You cannot tell what lies in a mans heart with a single meeting, nor by the garb they wear or the post they hold. I beg of you not to speak that name, or of its owner until we can find out more. Can you keep this secret?" Before she can respond, Thoreal holds up a hand and speaks to the commoner getting uncomfortably too close. "You there, slovenly passer-by. Can you direct us to one of this towns more reputable Inns? It may be worth a few coppers to you..."

    The passer by smiles and nods, you can smell the faint smell of ale on his breath. He opens a toothless mouth and pointing down the street says, "Yes SIR, there is the Silver Steed down the main road (his finger points out the road) about a fourth of a mile. I would be happy to take you there." His hands now greedily cupped open awaiting the copper.

    "You are right my good captain, one has only his word and you have only to believe it or not. I understand your apprehension and take no offense to any answer you are given however we are beginning to draw the attention of others by standing here discussing in hushed tones. I will be in one in or another in this town if you wish to consider the deal as I must now return to my group. My you bounties be plentiful and always to your favor captain."


    Calthoric turns from the captain after an illustrious and practiced bow and then returns to the group as Thoreal is talking to a by stander. "Yes, the Silver Steed Inn will do quite nicely as I need a bath and my hair is beginning to look the the home of some bird." Calthoric says in a bit louder then normal voice hoping the captain caught the name of the tavern.

    The wizard digs out 3 copper and hands them to the passer by. "Thank you. Here's 2 copper for your trouble, and a third for a bath. I would think that we could manage to find this Silver Stag on our own, thank you very much." Thorael looks over to Calthoric who's returning from the Captain "Silver Steed, yes yes. Silver Steed. Thank you again my man now be on your way". Waiting patiently as the man finally travels out of ear shot, Thorael turns back to the group. "So the Silver Steed sound good to you folk? I say we head there, and get a lay of the land. There's still plenty of daylight remaining. I need to acquire some additional gear, and see what kind of libraries are available to traveling Scholars such as my self..." The wizard shoots a knowing wink to Calthoric while "scratching" his elven ears, and then scans the rest of the group for direction.

    You file down to the Inn on the dirt road. You see the many beggars that dominate the docks district disperse as you get further into town. You see the Silver Stead Inn, a large inn with several stories a head. There are numerious shops surrounding the Inn. Next to the inn on the right there is a sign for "Grack's Weepons" which you think is a weapon store with a misspelled name, a wooden statue of a half-orc stands outside the door holding an ax up high. On the other side of the inn there is a shop which displays armor in the glass plated window. Across from the inn there is a general store and what looks to be an magic shop.

    As you enter the Silver Steed, your mouth starts to water with the aroma of cooking mutton. The common room is empty except for the bar keep washing tables. He smiles and nods in your direction as he clears a table.


    [OOC: the shop's and Inn are selling things at PBH prices]

    You hear parts of the conversation, you think it has to do with making some sort of deal for which the captain was hesitant.
