"Y'know, to fetch them beans."The man's expression brightens at once.  "Oh, yeah!" he says, starting in your direction.  "Hello, hello all!  I'm Castofle!  I'm --"  Before getting very far, he trips over a coiled rope, sending him staggering.  He's able to grab a rail before he falls on his face, but a large copper pot pops out of the top of his duffle bag, landing right between the sleeping kobold and goliath with a tremendous CLANG!Castofle looks aghast as the nearby sailors guffaw.  He rushes forward to grab the pot.  "Sorry, dammit, sorry!" he apologizes. "Gonna put my stuff below, get it safe and out of the way, be right back!"  He dashes for the door that leads below decks, swinging the duffle around to hug it with both arms, one hand still hanging on to the pot.The sailors are still chuckling and smiling.  Perhaps unexpectedly, it seems like they are quite fond of the chef."All right!" the captain yells.  "Prepare to cast off!" Sailors jump on the pier by the ropes tying the Bluebell Lady to the pier.  Others grab long poles and stand ready at various points around the edge of the ship."CAST OFF!"  The sailors unhook the ropes and jump back aboard, while those with the poles push against the pier and heave.  A single sail is unfurled and fills with air, and the caravel slowly begins to move...[sblock=ooc]We are not quite leaving yet... It looks like we are getting that 6th PC after all, one of OnlytheStrong's friends.  As soon as she joins us the ship will leave the harbor! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
