Outside the Cresting Wave tavern
A couple of minues before five Terry Lockspar arrives in front of the Cresting Wave Tavern. Radoon finds it a bit different in the pre-dawn darkness than it was the evening before. Their are half a dozen men and women waiting for the place to open. They look to be ships officers and dockyard clerks. Common sailors and dockworkers generally can't aford the luxuary of breakfast in a resturant, though there are several vendors despensing tea and some rather questionable food from carts and stalls around the area. Terry is let in first by the propriator and a moment later the rest of you enter along with the regular customers (assuming you arrive on time). Marienna smiles warmly at Radoon as she enters. A screen has been set up since last night isolating a couple of tables from the regular crowd and that is where Terry and Marienna go. The tables have been pushed together here. A side board holds pitchers of milk and juices. A fireplace grate holds steaming pots of coffee and tea. Terry has laid a cloth disk painted with arcane runes on the floor a little away from the table. He gets up slowly looking somewhat woozy from the previous days excess of liquor. His eyes are bloodshot and he looks pale in the light from several everburning torches on the walls. Satisfied he steps back from the circle. With a popping noise and rush of air Captain Marin stands leaning on his cane in the spot where the cloth was just an instant before. He is dressed in a traditional Captain's outfit this morning with a long blue coat and plummed hat. With a slight bow and a wave of his hat he greets you with,"Good Morning gentlemen. I trust you are all rested and ready to sail this morning?" He greets the woman who comes to take your order,"Clair my darling, have you decided to leave this place and run off and marry me yet?" She laughs and offers him a cheek to kiss, "Now Captain you know I've got old Gerard trained just the way I want him and I'm not about to go breaking in a new man at this time of life." The food is good and the mood is light as you have breakfast with the Captain. Clair brings Terry a special mug from the kitchen of some vile smelling tea. She pats him on the shoulder and he smiles greatfully, "You are an angle from heaven Clair." He grimaces as he chokes it down, but after finishing the mug he seems much recovered. After everyone has more food than they can possibly eat in front of them Captain Marin addresses the group. "Thank you all for coming so early. I don't sleep much anymore, so I tend to be an early riser. You'll forgive my entrance, but making the trek down from the Wake and back is hard on my leg. Of course after eating all this rich food I do walk back." He liberally douses his food with coursely ground sea salt and a bright red pepper sauce. "Beats the hell out of the oat cakes and watered down tea Greta is trying poison me with. I'll entertain any questions you might have and then I have a few little gifts for you all."

Michael Storm (warlock)
Michael will help himself to the breakfeast but eat lightly. Michael at first view to the party, seems tired and has the air of being up very late last night, yet still has a dapper apperance.
When Captain Marin, has finished his speach, Michael will speak up " I belive you have answered the questions that I had yesterday Captain, and this morning I do not belive I have any further ones"

Rook - Scout/Mage Blade
Rook will eat a light breakfast and listen attentively to the conversation. He'll not initiate conversation, but when overtures are made to him he'll respond warmly. He has no questions for Captain Marin, and stowed all of his gear aboard last night. He's ready to sail.

Breakfast at the Cresting Wave
Between bites of spicy sausages, bacon, ham, eggs, crepes, cheese and fried potato cakes Captain Marin reports that his magical sources assure him that as of midnight Allois was still alive and still in the area of Mermaid's Rest. They will check again in five days, which is about how long it will be until you arrive at Mermaid's rest. He will send word via a magically created bird like the ones that summoned some of you to him. As you all finish eating Captain Marin says, "I know there are some risks involved in this mission and despite my best efforts we don't know very much about the opposition. With that in mind I had some friends of mine put together some things that might be of use to you." He motions to Terry who gets up and gestures to someone on the other side of the screen. A young human woman in a couriers uniform comes into the private area where you are seated carrying 2 dark brown leather bags, an identical bag in black with silver trim, one of shark skin and one in buff colored leather. She hands the buff colored bag to Marienna, who seems as surprised by the gift as the rest of you. The black bag goes to Michael Storm, while the shark skin bag goes to Morwyn, and Radoon and Rook get the dark brown though there appears to be some small stitching around the bag given to Rook that might be writing in some strange language. The bags each have a shoulder strap and a flap that comes down over the front. On the front of each bag is a small patch with an embrodered Marin and Son logo--twin lateen sails marked with a stylized double M on a background of blue that fades from dark navy at the bottom to azure at the top. Finally, the courier hands Terry a small cloth bundle as well and he looks to Marin saying, "that really wasn't necessary Captain." He responds, "now Terry you might need a little something extra for this job too." As you receive the bag, which looks like the sort of thing a clerk or student might carry you note that it is fairly heavy obviously containing some items.
