Message: <blockquote data-quote="GlassEye" data-source="post: 5719957" data-attributes="member: 40413">Borric's tales seem to break through the Captain's stoic reserve and the man uncharacteristically guffaws and snorts as he tries to hold back his laughter.  However, when Sylvain and Nathan bring the meeting back to the business at hand he goes serious again and stares at the swirling wine in his glass before setting it aside on a small table set up for that purpose by Mister Copperkeel.  He looks intently at the four arrayed before him and leans forward to speak in confidence."You may have heard rumors about the city that the Golden Gale and two other ships of the Boraga's are preparing for a long trading expedition.  The truth is my patron has funded an expedition to Jirago, a wild land on the western continent, and feels the first to take advantage of this trading opportunity will have a significant advantage over later trading voyages.  And there is a more academic interest in how these elves fell to their current state of barbarism.You may wonder what this has to do with you.  I have long suspected that my patron feels that my interests no longer coincide with those of my patron's House.  This is an exile of sorts that I believe I am not expected to return from.  There are few aboard that I know that I can trust implicitly; I need men and women about me who I know will work for the success of the expedition and, if it comes to it, protect me from direct attack."He stops speaking and it is clear he is awaiting your reaction to the information he has given you.</blockquote>
