“Say thankya! I shoulda known you woulda been here! Already you have proven your worth! Say thankya!”
As you relay the events of the evening to Iggy, his eyes grow wider and wider. At the mention of an organized plot by Hugo and his crew Iggy’s eyes narrow shrewdly, and he summons an aide from the crowd, whispering something to him and sending him off running. He turns and nods his head at you.
“Yes, yes, we should have expected something like this. There were rumors even this morning that Captain Nathanyl Hawkridge was still none too happy about Kestor and the Righteous Might getting our contract. I see now I should have been more direct with you, and I apologize.”
You notice Iggy wafts in and out of his “country bumpkin” persona, depending on his excitement and attention. When he gets down to business, his education and rhetoric show through…
“But in no less than a single night! For you to uncover this plot yourselves, and even put an end to it! Remarkable! I shall speak to Captain Kestor about bonuses for you all. Please, take your leave tomorrow and rest, you have indeed deserved it! We do not sail until dawn on the next day, and thanks to you, we can proceed now without fear!”
Iggy accompanies you back to the Clam Shell, asking you for more details as to what you have learned concerning Hugo and his men, and promises you that the full weight of both the Cartographer’s Guild and the Ship’s Captain Guild will bear upon the investigations. Captain Hawkridge, it seems, is about to suffer extreme scrutiny.
