The evening passes quietly, with both Adolfo and Two Tails and just before you head for bed, at the shift of duty, a note with a bag of coins is brought to you by one of the guards coming off duty. The bag held the equivalent of 160 gp for each person in gems and various coinage.
Recognizing Saktouk and Veniarus, one of them provides an update on the captain's reception when the general found out out about his stunt. Far from getting out of work, he has been permanently assigned to the special projects wing, where his "creative" ways of doing jobs can be put to good use, a fact that has driven the man to a drunken stupor as his visions of basking in the glory of the uniform while lounging on his father's estate with the occasional parade to impress the ladies were rapidly fading away.
Another one says that aside from a few weapons, the bandits really didn't have much inside their rooms; like most in their trade, they were the "spend as you get it" sort of people, though if the brief questioning of the captured toughs were even remotely true, they were on the more successful end of the industry, so when they had money to spend, they tended to have a fair bit. The leader had already pissed off his questioners and literally lost his head after a series of unhelpful answers; the toughs were sitting in jail still, debating on how to salvage their both their personal honor and their lives, a debate several Navy ship captains were fueling with various promises, some believable, some not. The one thing they understood perfectly was that their old careers were quite effectively over.
Adolfo pulls the two newcomers off to the side, and explains the larger task of he and his brothers trying to acquire a massive abandoned estate just outside Venza to move their business operations to, and how all that remained in that task was to travel back to said estate and retrieve some family heirlooms for those in the family who currently owned who still cared about such things. If they were interested in joining the endeavor, they would be provided horses, meals and rooms for the more usual method of travel, which would take a little over a week counting business stops and such.
