DT's Old School Campaign- (Chapter 4: The Guild and The Girl)

[Deuce Traveler]

OOC: I don't see any reason why we can't say the net makers don't have thicker nets.

 

[Scott DeWar]

that 's the ol barkeep, right? i suppose an ald salt may be needs another rum...less chancy too, if he does so with no questions.

 

[GlassEye]

"Ah, no. Vernik, of the Net Shop? Surely an old pirate like yerself knows Vernik?" Edvan shakes his head and it is clear that he thinks Quinn is still addled by his drink.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"sorry maty, i just may be a bit tipsy from me drink. I got me people mixed up"

 

[GlassEye]

Edvan grins and claps Quinn on the back. "Well, unless we wants to steal one right now maybe we should gets some sleep and talk to Vernik tomorrow. What you thinks?"

 

[Queenie]

"Yes, I think we should retire home... I can't think of anything else we can do tonight. Tomorrow we'll get up with clearer heads and gather what we need for tomorrow night's adventure."

 

[Deuce Traveler]

The group returned home and slept off the excitement of the night. The next day they had travelled to the port area near the southern tip of Water-Rat Road where Vernik swept up his net shop. Three of his hires repaired nets nearby. Vernik was a middle-aged, worn sailor aged beyond his years with a balding pate surrounded by tufts of white hair. As the party came up to him he looked up and said with short nods to each, "Yes, sirs? Lady? What can I do for yers on this fine day? I think I knows a couple of ye." He showed more recognition towards Edvan and Hilmdyn.

 

[Queenie]

Lola waited patiently in the background, looking around the store at the knick knacks. Normally this would be her domain but the fact her friends already knew the owner would go much further than anything she could say.

 

[GlassEye]

Edvan looks over at Queenie expecting her to say something but when it becomes clear that she's leaving the chatting to him he turns back to Vernik. He shuffles a bit and clears his throat. "Ah, it's a bit sensitive." He glances around at the man's employees. "Cans we talk somewheres privately?"

Once they've moved out of the immediate hearing of anyone nearby Edvan begins again. "Two things really. First, we've heards tell that your daughter's gone missing. That's a terrible thing." He glances at his companions. "I knows what its like to lose a loved one. We'll looks into the matter for you and see what we cans find out for you." He pauses for a moment. "There is something you cans do for us, in return. Just you loans us a net. Stay late tonight or sends your people home early or whatever and we'll be by just after sunset to picks it up. If you agrees, of course. Now, how 'bout you tells us what all you know about your daughters vanishin'."

 

[Scott DeWar]

not that quinn would admitt to it, but while he was on ship he just may have heard of some kidnapping going on, so he pays very close attention to the details to ascertain what might have happened.
