She waves to Kora to take it and put it in some water.  "Thank you all for coming.  Indeed Mr. Meravanchi, you are correct in a fashion. I have invited you all here to dine with me at my manor because I have heard good things about you all. Each one of you has done something which I had felt was heroic in their own way. And what I will request does indeed have something to do with my ship, the Blue Nixie, though the trouble is not quite with the Harbormaster himself."As the others take their seat around the large table, Lavinia continues her story.  Kora has already retreived a small vase and places Alix's flower in the center and begins pouring drinks."As you may have heard, I recently inherited my parent's estate. Along with this fine house, unfortunately, came a fine amount of debt owed to the Dawn Council, the harbormaster, and quite a few guildhalls.  It seems my parents, for all their success as adventurers, were not as skilled at finance as one might expect. If I'm to get these taxes paid I'll need to access my family's vault under Castle Teraknian."And that's the problem, you see.  The vaults are magically locked - keyed to special signet rings.  Both of my parents had these rings, at least, until recently.  My mother lost hers a few months ago. She arranged for a replacement, but it won't be done for another month or so, too late for me.  Which leaves my father's ring.  He never wore it - he had a thing about men wearing jewelry.  He kept it hidden somewhere on his ship, the Blue Nixie.  the problem there is that the harbormaster's seized the ship until someone pays for the last four months of mooring. I've paid the fines to the man the harbormaster's put in charge of my ship, a brute named Soller Vark.  Yet when I went to claim my ship, Vark's men wouldn't let me board, claiming that I hadn't yet paid the fines.  I spoke to Vark again and he denied ever receiving my payment.  My complaints to the harbormaster have fallen on deaf ears - he's a doddering old fool who trusts his man and won't relent."Vark and his men are up to something on my ship, I know it. What I need is to find out exactly what they're up to. Unfortunately, Vark's not the type to react well to dpilomacy or logic.  I need someone who speaks his language... which is where you come in, I hope.  If you can find out what he's using my ship for, or even better, recover the money I paid him, I'll pay each of you 200 gold in return once I've access to my vault." she finishes.Once finished you see that Kora has brought you all drinks and there is an assortment of fruit that has been placed on the table as an appetizer.</blockquote>
