The pirates fan out as the leader walks toward your group. Marhvokos steps forward and says, " I have a writ of passage from Captain Helos, Lohgrin."
The leader of the pirates stops and laughs, "Your writ is worthless, Marhvokos, Helos is dead and the Wraith sunk! How wonderful to find you here on the beach. You won't be outrunning me here."
Marhvokos is visibly shaken, but recovers quickly, "Other Brotherhood members might not think my writ so worthless. Besides, I have no cargo now and am headed for Sangre anyhow."
Lohgrin smiles, "Ah, but who cares what the Brotherhood thinks, we are three days out from Sangre and they hold no sway here. I'm sure we can work out a suitable payment for me to honor your writ though. Say... 1500 gold? Yes, that sounds fair." The other pirates snicker.
"1500 gold!! That's ridiculous! The original writ didn't even cost half that."
"But Marhvokos, you are in no position to bargain." He then looks at your group, "Passengers, Marhvokos? They will of course have to pay for themselves also."
Lohgrin looks over your group his eyes pausing for a moment on Syldar and Kalinn. He then addresses Raynucio.
"You have the look of a noble, your party seems to have an abundance. I will not ask much, just some of your extras. I see you have two nice swords and you are also blessed with two women. As payment I will except the extras." He points at Capitas, "I think that sword will do nicely, as for the women, I prefer the elf, but whichever you decide will do."
"Right, men?" He shouts to the others and they respond with a lusty cheer.
