[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6661029, member: 20323"] [b]Smuggler's Cove[/b] [color=darkorange]"A cannon, you says?"[/color] Roy squints his eyes, looking down at them from the top of the wooden palisade. There's something about this James Barrington that makes him uncomfortable, and he certainly doesn't trust Kid further than he can shoot a pistol, but Roy was first and foremost a businessman like any smuggler worth his salt. [color=darkorange]"Alright then, open up the gate for them. No sudden moves, James Barrington."[/color] Slowly the wooden gate opens, revealing a passage some ten-feet wide. Komodo Roy clambers down a pair of steps on the other side to greet them. There's a hint of English accent to his voice though muddled by exposure to the many languages of the Caribbean. Up close, Barrington can see that the lower right side of his lip was mangled as if bitten by an animal, the old scars a a garish purple. Taking the 5 coins from Kid, Roy levels him with a look that told him he hadn't forgotten the rest of the debt. [color=darkorange]"Ten bottles of beer,"[/color] he says, tucking the coin into his belt pouch and latching it securely. Roy sucks his teeth, his mouth filled with tobacco chew, as he appraises Barrington. [color=darkorange]"Come on, I'll show you what cannons we've salvaged. Who's crew is this for, James Barrington?"[/color] Smuggler's Cove is filled with sailors moving crates, taking inventories, or laying about sleeping or smoking pipes.

Smuggler's Cove is a cross between a cave, a warehouse, and a secret port. Waves echo thru the chamber as they break against the stone pier.
