So you dock. A grizzled old mul templar in toga and azure sash is summoned by bell. He staggers with a heavy limb and uses a heavy crooked cane to walk out to the boat. The elves are dropping a gangplank as the ship settles.
"At least I don't need to call out for Andro's light. Is it the cursed ship again? Where is Caym? Abet? Or is it Abez?"
The first mate turned Captain shakes his head. "Caym is dead, Sherval. I told you last time we docked." The glint of the silver flashes in his palm as he extends his hand to the templar.
"Ah yes. Captain Abez. I remember now. Aloysius' friends..."
He appears to weigh the coins in his hand slightly.
"It's a bit late to do a proper inspection tonight. I plan on sleeping in, if you were gone before, I dunno - tenth bell, we can save it for the next time, eh?"
Abez nods as the mul shuffles off. When he's out of ear shot, Abez continues.
"Druuso, Haske. Go rustle up a couple deckhands. Literally two. Standard rate, if they balk because of the ship's name, bump it up a ceramic a week."
He turns to La'yor and Etzli.
"We talked earlier. Good luck and may the Sun be ever to your back."
Turning to the others, he adds, "The ladies have decided to part ways and chance their fortune. Etzli says she has some business to attend to and La'yor has been having visions - at least as much as I can understand. Kreen, eh?"
La'yor specifically leaves the gythka you recovered on the ship as she simply states, "This thing is causing me some unrest. Perhaps it can still be used by you."

HurK quietly asks Khuv to grab the four silvers from the Gambit's secret area. He then dons his silt gear to cover his face & head. So you dock. A grizzled old mul templar in toga and azure sash is summoned by bell. He staggers with a heavy limb and uses a heavy crooked cane to walk out to the boat. The elves are dropping a gangplank as the ship settles. "At least I don't need to call out for Andro's light. Is it the cursed ship again? Where is Caym? Abet? Or is it Abez?" The first mate turned Captain shakes his head. "Caym is dead, Sherval. I told you last time we docked." The glint of the silver flashes in his palm as he extends his hand to the templar. "Ah yes.

La'yor specifically leaves the gythka you recovered on the ship as she simply states, "This thing is causing me some unrest. Perhaps it can still be used by you." HurK asks once the dockmaster is gone As the women depart, HurK gives them well wishes and hugs goodbye. He will strap the Gythka to his pack (unless one of the warriors wants to use it) |

"We have a reputation, not that Caym ever did anything to quell the rumors. We're one of the few independent, helmed ships to operate out of Balic. For whatever reason, his Lordship has no interest in reclaiming the helm, Lilim, for his own fleet. Never learned why. We also had some bad runs early on, a few rotten hires coupled with an attack by raiders intent on stealin' the Gambit for themselves." "As far as Aloysius? That's Coden's templar friend - the one we sold the rock to. I get yeh, not everyone is great with names." darksunsouthtablelands.obsidianportal.com/characters/aloysius-voyan"Look, I'm gonna get some rest below deck. Don't cause any chaos, 'k?" |

HurK nods his head in understanding. “How do you know if La'yor and Etzli won’t accidentally bring more ‘rotten’ hired hands, or even Tsalaxa spies?” He snaps his fingers, “Ah that’s right. Been a hell of a 24 hours Cap… Go get some rest, I’ll take watch. We need to be out of Balic’s sight BEFORE sun up." |

"I ain't gonna hold anyone hostage... and to be honest, how well did you know Etzli?" He sighs. "Because I grew up praying to the winds... still pay tribute to 'em." He gestures to the sails. "And I never saw her perform no blessings. Only time I saw her do anythin' of the sort was when she was playing with that dark totem we found on the skimmer." He replies to Hurk as he walks down to the lower decks to rest, leaving the question hanging.

The half giant takes first watch then will have Coden take second before we push off before sunrise (5am?) |

Coden notes, "I'll need to get a little bit of rest in there somewhere. I need to refresh my mind after that time spend with Lilim, and I need to get some regular sleep. Four hours should be enough that I can stand a watch later, though I'll be a little groggy."
