[QUOTE="biorph, post: 1534253, member: 10426"] [b]The Desert Sahns[/b] They had a few days to spend getting into trouble before the ship left. Of course what better way to get in trouble than work a crowd. It was a standard dazzle and grab, Kem attracted a crowd with some acrobatics while Khalil worked the crowd. At the end of a few days Kem had enough to pay for the voyage. Under the pretesne of the paying in advance Kem made an appointment to speak with the illustrious lady Sahn, head of the shipping firm. Kem had some interest in perhaps spending his time on the ship working as a sailor. It was obvious that Lady Sahn had quite a lucrative business, for dockside accommodations were not offices so much as they were a palace. Kem was shown through three heavily guarded sets of doors to the private office of lady Sahn. The office had a comfortable yet professional feel. The walls were hung with tapestries depicting scenes he had never heard of from lands he had never seen. The floors were swept and the rugs felt soft under Kem's bare feet, having left his slippers at the first set of doors to avoid any dragging in any dust from the street. Kem would have said it was all so perfect to be suspicous were it not for the desk. The desk was the one foothold that entropy had managed to gain and keep. It was piled high with a confused collection of papers. Bills, invoices, personal correspondence, it all was one big jumbled pile on the top of lady Sahn's desk. It wasn't until she stood up that Kem could actually see lady Sahn herself over the pile. Lady Sahn was surprisingly tall, taller even than any half-orc he had ever seen. Rumors said her parents were at least Jann if not Djinni or Efreeti. She had a cold professional look that stated in quite clear terms that she brooked no nonsense. "How can I help you today Master acrobat?" she began "I came to ask about the ship we'll be traveling on. I've always been interested in the sailor's craft and been a dab hand at knots, Would you perhaps be willing to allow me to assist the sailors of your vessel, just to learn the craft as it were." "While I appreciate the offer, I'm afraid that required enough time and effort on my part training you and so forth is enough that unless you apprenticed yourself to me I would be losing out on the deal." she said "And I think you have enough...masters...calling upon your time already. However I may have some...other...work for you to do on this voyage. I will let you know if I require your services. Is there anything else?" "No, I just wished to drop off the payment for the voyage in advance. I've taken up enough of your time. Tell me though, one last thing, did my friends say who was going to pay for the passengers?" Kem asked "It was specified actually." she replied "I assumed each of you is going to pay your own way." "Riiiight" said Kem "Well thank you for your time I must be hurrying along." Solafien had told Khalil that they had signed up Khalil to pay for the voyage all by himself. It was the reason the little thief had been working his fingers to the bone stealing.
