Fimble pays the escort for his assistance, with an extra silver on top. "You were most helpful, thank you." With a small bow, your escort bids you goodbye.
You chat as you return to the docks, discussing the things you discovered in the library. But when you arrive, conversation suddenly stops. Your ship is not where you left it. In its place is a rather worn down boat, almost as small as a dingy, in which sit an old man and woman, both in full plate, snoozing in the late afternoon.
You don't have much time to react, because a fat man in fine clothes comes waddling down the dock almost immediately. With a giant grin, he says, "Ah, the owners of that fine vessel have arrived at last! Well, the Seven-named Ship set sail this morning, with your friends and a dour but rather wealthy robed fellow aboard." He says "wealthy" with a wink and produces a heavy bag. "Nine thousand Crowns worth of jewels I have for you, a far better price for that old thing than you'd ever get otherwise. A fair trade for what will now be known as Halina's Blessing. What a cliche, these religious folk have no imagination!" He laughs uproariously at his joke, sputtering a bit of spittle as he does.
"Well then, it's always a pleasure to be the bearer of good news. Have a splendid day, gentlemen. I certainly am."
