Jack, and anyone else on the deck, that there are ships under the water.  Surely enough, you can see the top masts of sunken ships just below the water line.  Luckily they're deep enough down that the Whore clears the obstacles easily (it also helps that you have no cargo).Also, Capt. Jack, you can see a large iron gate in the water off to the side of the docks that, though rusty, is newer than your last visit to Highport. Someone has decided to install a drydock in Highport. Unfortunately, you're not being invited to enter it.You can now see that there are ten goblins, short and unkempt, along with a rotund human and a large, brutish half-orc. Upon closer inspection, you can see that they are wearing what was, at one point, finery of some kind, with the goblins wearing very nice children's clothes. As happens when one wears the same outfit for years without changing it, they are now faded tatters.As the Whore glides into the dock, crew-members repel amidships and expertly halt the ship. Then they scurry to the bow and stern to secure lines thrown to them. Neither the human nor his companions make any effort to stop or harrass the sailors.  They do, however, move amidships, apparently waiting for the plank to be lowered. The human and half-orc seem very calm and and serious, while the goblins are sort of bored and restless. Some are exclaiming something repeatedly, which you have trouble hearing.  Finally you get that they're saying something like, "Inspection!" (listen 20 + 4).Very soon, the boat is securely fastened to the dock.  Capt. Jack, it appears your new friends expect to be let aboard.</blockquote>
