This fellow was knocked unconscious trying to open the Customs safe, but your group still managed to extract the official seal, and dispose of the condemning evidence against me?" the tiefling guffaws and finishes his brandy in one long swig. His face breaks into a broad smile, "This is excellent news, and far more than I asked for! I don't suppose you wiped out the entry in the Customs ledger showing that my ship was detained did you? No? Well, no matter. They still haven't got a case against me when next I weigh anchor in Daunton. You've done a great service for me this day, and Berekis Halfhand does not forget a good turn."The tiefling reaches into a small beside his desk and pulls out a pendant that seems to be radiating a faint energy, and a bag that jingles with the telltale clink of coin against coin. "Here, take these as tokens of my appreciation. I've always found the amulet to bring me good luck in a tight spot, and as you six have brought me luck this day, it is only fitting that I should return the favor."[sblock="Treasure  Received!"]Amulet of Protection +1, 50gp. Again, feel free to distribute as you see fit.[/sblock]"Just out of curiosity, where was the boy... Festus, I think, Farnsworth's nephew, during all of this?"Seeming to take mild offense at Alnar's suggestion (perhaps it was something in his tone of voice), Berekis says, "My work is what it is friend, and I happen to be good at it. People have needs, and I supply them. Besides, not everything prohibited by law is harmful. The Oans use hazia as a powerful ritual ingredient, as it allows them to peer farther into the Elysian seas, with greater clarity. Can I help it if some on the streets of Daunton choose to abuse the substance as a drug?""It is well that you are bound for Kythira, for I may be able to resupply there. Though I will be arriving earlier than usual... starweed harvesting is dangerous business, and it takes time to do it well. But, perhaps my source will have a partial shipment for me...""Then again, I'm not above legitimate work from time to time. Perhaps we will have the chance to speak more of this 'job' when you have finished your business on the Living Isle."The tiefling glances out the porthole window next to his desk, making a rueful face at the wretched weather. "So, you seek to set sail for Kythira immediately?..."</blockquote>
