What else do you want?

%PCName, I wanted to believe that you were a person of integrity, and that may still be the case. You had a choice to make. It brought my men back and I am grateful. However, because of the circumstances of this task, I cannot reward you with gold. Instead I give you this book. May it serve you well and help you better understand where certain regional crops grow. Dyus and Vantus will receive similar instruction. Good day to you.

Dyus was always a little hot-headed. You did what you had to do. With that matter resolved, I'll now need you to scout the city for suitable replacements. Find me an able seaman, strong, disciplined. I'll need to hire on an experienced cook as well. Here's a little gold to keep you motivated.

I certainly hope those boys didn't get into any trouble. Come back to the ship once you've found them.

It was a pleasure meeting you. Now if you'd kindly disembark.

I can sense these things. You're a natural born leader, %PCName. Now, concerning my men. Ask around town. The locals won't forget an outsider, especially a couple of raggedy Imperials. When found, my crew members are to come aboard immediately. If you catch them drowning in greef, they're to receive this letter. I'd appreciate it if you worked quickly, and, depending, I may have more work for you. See you soon.

My orders were clear: collect the necessary provisions and return before sunset. They've been away for far too long. Indeed I fear for their safety. Vantus Arria does fine work in the galley; Dyus Rilian has fought off all that the Padomaic has thrown at our little ship. But they know the rules, and I suspect insubordination. Will you find these men? You'll be paid.

Did you have to kill them?

Did you have to kill them?

Heh... You know, %PCName, a part of me hates to see such lively sorts go, but those boys overstayed their welcome. Room's ready, if you're interested. Ignore the stains; I'll scrub those out eventually.

Glad to hear they're on the way out.

What are those two still doing here? I want them gone!

Heh... You know, %PCName, a part of me hates to see such lively sorts go, but those boys overstayed their welcome. Room's ready, if you're interested. Ignore the stains; I'll scrub those out eventually.

Glad to hear they're on the way out.

Get rid of those two. I'll wait.

They'll stay right there in that room until I get my gold.

All right. Room's open. Now get rid of those two.

Ah, those fellas. Sauntered in with a hefty bag of gold. Tossed it on the bar and ordered enough drink for thirty men. Paid no mind until the sturdy one knocked down my prized catch. Chased 'em around the tables and chairs like children. Seemed a rollicking time until bottles and plates came flying. Heh! They locked themselves in a room. I'll unlock the room for you, but I want those two out of here.

Gold enough for two night's stay, twenty septims, will do it.

I think I might lie down for a bit.

Thanks for getting us out of that mess. Dyus said I should give you something for the trouble. I've only got my gratitude and a small amount of gold. Safe travels, friend.

I'm feeling much better. You'll want to come back to me after you've met with the captain.

Off to Blacklight then. Steady as you go, %PCName.

Got us with the ash yams. Heh. Nevermind then. He'll get over it. Here's a bit of gold I've put to the side. It ain't much, but keeping this job don't hold a price.

Talk to the captain, then come see me.

Looks to be everything. You've no doubt saved our hides. After you've talked to the captain, come see me aboard the Age of Peace. I'll have something for you. I gotta get Vantus up and ready to go. Oh, and just so our stories align: we couldn't find any ash yams in town, so we went to a farm on the outskirts. It was getting dark, and the farmer, fearing we'd lose our way, offered us a room. Got it? We'll see you soon.

Still recovering... And where are the goods? You won't find it all in one place. Get out there.

We have nothing more to discuss. Leave us.

That's all he said? We can't go back like this, not without the goods. He'll string us up by our ankles and hang us off the gunwales! Help us, will ya? I've got the list here. Khazor should have some of the things we need. Oh, and here's what's left of the gold. It should cover... at least a couple slices of Colovian cheese. By the time ye get back Vantus and I'll be feelin' all right. I can promise you that.

Ha! The ever so honorable and compassionate Captain Lannus. Given a death sentence for having a little drink, is it? What nonsense. Twelve years... twelve years under his command. You know, Vasesius took me in. I learned from him the way a son learns from his father. He cared for me. I had a debt. Saved his life more than once... And you. Who are you? A witless fetcher? You're a weak-kneed courier desperate for some coin! The room be spinnin', but I can take ye. I'm rested. Come on then!

Keep the door shut! It's agony enough listening to Vantus here snore all bloody night. I can't bear another minute of Khazor bellowing through his tusks. It's like a cudgel to the skull... Ah, what relief that would be. Now what is it you want?

Before going ashore, Vantus said they'd start with a grocer. A likely place to find some cheese. Dyus suggested the... Oh no.

Dyus and Vantus, while rambunctious, are not known to go off course when given a task. They'll return. I'm sure of it.

I typically trust the captain's judgment, but it's no surprise to me that those two haven't returned. Heh. Maybe Lannus is testing them. Clever old seadog.

I don't catch much of the action from back here, but I couldn't ignore the recent excitement brought on by a couple of sailors. Boy, everyone was having such a grand time. The kind of joy only mariners can haul around. I was making stew when I heard a mighty crash, followed by an angry roar from Khazor. I believe he's got them locked away in a room.

Saw a pair of imperials come off the Age of Peace and head towards town. It wasn't your first instinct to check the tavern?

Years on the water has taught me to mind my own sails. You'd be wise to do the same.

Sailors? You're in the right place. Dunkards, rabble-rousers? You'll find a couple holed up in one of the rooms. Talk to Khazor gro-Bash behind the bar.

I'd remember a couple of Imperials if they passed me by. Maybe these sailors didn't make it farther than the Musty Mudcrab tavern? Heh!

Couple of Imperials? The Musty Mudcrab. There was a brawl. A few of us went to check it out, but Khazor waved us off. He knows how to manage that sort.

It's not terribly unusual, but there was quite a disturbance at the Musty Mudcrab recently. Your sailors may have had something to do with it.

If you can't find these sailors near the docks, then they're likely in a good deal of trouble.
