We decide to head back to the harbour.We continue strolling in the streets... "You push your way through the crowded streets of Port Quanongu, passing cursing sailors, oilskin-clad whalers, traders dressed in expensive furs and the occasional woman dressed in bright clothes who winks slyly at us as we pass". Apparently, East Krarth is very very open-minded or they failed to notice we're not 15 years old boys readers but CHARACTERS.Finally we arrive at the harbour and we start appraising cruise ships suitable for a crew of ladies of our standing. We notice the Magdalen, where passage for Dourhaven would be free if we're OK with manning the oars.What is it with their idea that we should get enslaved to be on a ship? At least this one is openly recognizing it. But we're 142 gp rich -- that 70 days of hotel with hearty meals, admittedly in the middle of nowhere, so don't they have just ship that would ferry us over the channel? We continue strolling...You might think at this point that I am overdoing the "noble ladies" team part? No, really not, everything I said starting from the classist remark on chess comes from actual dialogue from the book. Here is an example of how we rebuff a whaler offering to carry us in exchange of work: <code class="bbCodeInline">You turn back on the captain indignantly: "Pah" you snort. </code><code class="bbCodeInline">-- It is not seemly for persons of good birth to be tethering themselves to the rowing-benches like low cattle. </code>I am pretty sure we won't be popular for long in this town, especially one where most people seem to be making their living from tethering themselves to rowing benches.... "No, thank you for the offer, but we're looking for a passenger ship right now" wouldn't be unbelievable as an answer. The answer we made could have been told by Cugel or Rhialto. More Cugel, because he wouldn't have the standing of Rhialto to back his words...We continue strolling... until at least we're hailed by someone more fitting. His name is Augustus of Vantery. Vantery is a place on the map of the world, northwest of Chaubrette, literally at the other side of the world (to the west. We're in Siberia looking to cross the the Aleutian Island and he's from Belgium).He's offering us passage on his flying carpet. Which he demonstrates to be fully functionning over a cup of tea that he offers us.The carpets takes to the sky and makes acrobatics in the sky before August lands back in front of us, reassuring us that he never lost a passenger. Also, he isn't a filthy merchant and won't ask us money for the trip.What could possibily go wrong with this offer?</blockquote>
