[QUOTE="ryryguy, post: 5064121, member: 64945"] Passing through the door, the three adventurers find themselves in what is obviously a waiting room. There are several wooden chairs and benches arranged around a low table. Old copies of the [I]Screamer[/I] lie on the table alongside tide charts and tables of shipping destinations and prices. The walls are bare except for a couple of token paintings of ships sailing across angry seas. Towards the rear of the room is a staircase leading up to a closed door. Next to the staircase is a desk, and behind the desk is a man. He's wearing a nice tunic, but despite that he's rather scruffy looking, with a mustache, shaggy hair, and several colorful tattoos partially visible around his neck and hands. He gives the group a sizing-up glance. [B]"You here about the pick-up job?"[/B] he growls. [B]"Boss is in a meeting, but she'll be done soon. Have a seat."[/B] [sblock=History or Streetwise DC 10 (passive)]Silverships Transit is one of the largest shipping and trading houses in Daunton.
