[QUOTE="Bob Aberton, post: 1224060, member: 1518"] When all are assembled in his cabin, Capt. Jack gestures for them to take a seat. "Port, anyone? Or perhaps something stronger - I've brandy and rum too." His steward pours a drink for anyone that wants one. Captain Jack drains his rum glass in one long gulp and sets it down with a crash. "Now, to business. It just so happens thet I know this city pretty well. Matter o' fact, I...grew up here. So unless things have changed drastically, there'll be a black market down on Block Street which sells some fairly expensive goods thet never saw Customs. Never saw slaves there, though. But it might be a place t' consider when makin' discreet inquiries. And thet's the key, gentlemen, discreet inquiries. I know you've all scores of your own to settle with these slavers, I know I do, but we're going to have t' blend in for the time bein'. An' while we're speakin' o' thet, my name is pretty well known around these parts. And not in a good way, either. The slavers gave me this - " he gestures to the scar on his left cheek " - years ago, though the man who did it regretted it. An' just two months ago I had to put in for repairs here, an' they tried again. Twice. So, gen'lemen, I would appreciate if you not refer to me as 'Captain Crosstree.' Y' can call me 'Jack,' though I'd prefer 'Captain Jack,' or 'Captain.' But if you value my life and your own, don't let yerselves be heard callin' me Captain Crosstree. Savvy?" (OOC Halivar: [spoiler]As an ex-slave ship captain, would I know any wholesalers or former wholesalers of slaves? I'd have to sell my cargoes to someone...[/spoiler]) [/QUOTE]
