The truth was, Edan and Hoog only agreed to sailing with Blackthorn because they needed the gold.  They had no interest in their employer’s cargo or his dealings on shore, and planned on leaving once paid.  They had been aboard Skullduggery for weeks, and couldn’t be happier to see land, (unless of course Blackthorn paid them). Digby, Blackthorn’s gnomish lackey, approached Edan and Hoog as they were collecting their things.“Not so fast,” he said sourly.  “Blackthorn needs the two of you to ‘secure’ his new possession.”“Does he?” asked Edan.  “Why don’t we secure our payment first?”Digby looked at Edan with distain.  The gnome was used to dealing with humans like Edan, but watched his tongue around him since he traveled with Hoog, a half-orc. “You’ll get paid,” he said skittishly.  “Blackthorn’ll see to it once you secure what’s his.”Edan looked at Hoog, who grunted with annoyance.“What’s his latest booty?” asked Edan.“A ship,” said Digby.  “He’s making his trade now at The Drunken Minstrel.  He just needs you to make sure no one’s out to cheat him, is all.”“Where is this ship?”“It’s called The Snapdragon,” said Digby.  “Make your way down the dock and you’ll find her.  Just make sure there ain’t no interference or resistance when it comes time for the trade.”“Easy enough,” said Edan with a grin.“Just make sure Blackthorn is ready to pay us after that,” growled Hoog.Digby nodded nervously at the half-orc and made his way off the ship and towards the tavern, mumbling under his breath.“You’ll get paid, alright…Blackthorn’ll see to your payment.”The Adventure Continues…</blockquote>
