[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 3965530, member: 5868"] "Is the ship in the cove yours?" Quinn asked. "The Sea Wyvern? Nay, she were a derelect when we arrived. Its yours if ye can crew it. I've got more important things in mind. I've sent me first mate Dvoras to kill Vanthus, and his family to even the score." "Yuo're a bit late for that," Thalas remarked, "considering Vanthus killed his parents himself, and the only surviving family member is an estranged sister. We were hired to track down and kill Vanthus ourselves, which is why we are here." "Whom do you serve?" Harliss asked. "Personally, myself," Thalas responded. "I'm doing this job for payback to Vanthus for personal wrongs. I won't speak for the others." "Lavinia Vanderboren," Athal piped up, with Arjan nodding. Thalas cringed, and Harliss frowned. "She had nothing to do with this attack, or with her brother -- she's the one who hired us to bring him in." Harliss' eyes narrowed. "Well, I believe you. But it be too late to stop Dvoras; he's already ahead of you." "We'd better leave right away, then," Athal responded, gathering his equipment and looking at everyone else. "Why not take some time to recover the Sea Wyvern?" Thalas asked. "We could return in style, and set ourselves up as merchants. There's surely a profit to be made there." Athal shook his head. "No time. Our first duty is to Lavinia. You can take the ship, but you'll be returning alone." Harliss meanwhile was scribbling on a bit of parchment, which she handed to Athal. "Here ye be.
