Radoon
The tale of how we came here is a long and convoluted one and it might be best discussed in private" (Radoon only says this if any one else is still in the room ie:salesmen, servants...if Crumpet is there and begins to leave, Radoon will actually ask him if he would mind staying.) "We have come here to destroy a great evil we call The Lich and you may know as the Sea Sorcerer. He has cursed us which results in physical manifestations which we are anxious to be rid of. We stopped here to gather information from an old acquaintance of mine and decided to stay the night here on her advice and we have not been disappointed, what a wonderful diversion from that dank, musty ship. We have information that there might be someone of interest to speak to at a place called the Busted Skull. Do you know where we might find this place and what we should expect when we do visit. Also is there anything you know of the Sea Sorcerer that might help us on our journey?"
The men seem to buy and sell whatever they think they can ship somewhere else for a profit. The story is a somewhat humorous tale of being becalmed off the Western reach with a sizable load of eggs only to discover that spring chickens where in high demand after an unseasonable frost had damaged the local stock. The story revolved around taking care of a ship filled to the rigging with hatchlings. From their rather plain clothes and lack of fine jewelry or other signs of wealth, they are either less successful than their boastful stories would imply or they are being very cautious in this somewhat lawless place. Once it becomes clear that the speaker could go on for hours, Radoon begins to put some of the more unlikely bits of the tale to the question and soon the salesmen note that they must be off and make sales calls.
The food proves quite appetizing. The lady answers Radoon's questions. "Yes, Crumpet is a treasure. He's been with us for years and he is quite resourceful, but keeping him feed is always a challenge for the kitchen staff. As for this place, it belonged to my late husband, the Captain's family. He grew up in this house. With his death I've chosen to take up rooming out the old servant's quarters to have some company about. I couldn't see sitting in this big old house alone. The servants live with me now. We meet some interesting people this way and I must say you are an unlikely lot. What brings you to the Border Islands? For I perceive by your speech, dress and need of a room that you are not local."
