"Gods below, you churchy types are all the same!  Giving unto others is all well and good when you've got enough to feed yourself in the first place.  Fine, I'll lose my winnings plus thirteen coppers.  Or fourteen coppers, if you want me to round up."  She gives Uder a dark look. "Thanks for ratting me out, Grumpy.  You're a real pal."The dwarf still doesn't bother to look at the tiefling.  "I ain't never claimed to be your pal, Red.  And it ain't me problem if you were trying to make me look bad by forcing the issue in the squire's presence.  From where I sit, there's nowt but yerself to blame."The tiefling stomps off petulantly.  After a moment, Uder glances at you.  "You're the chief, squire, and it's yer call how you set us at yer kingdom-building business.  But I'd venture to say you'll get more out of me and Red if you keep us on opposite ends o' the boat, as it were."A few days later, Captain Renlow puts into port for a brief stopover and to take on fresh water and foodstuffs.  The captain explains the situation to you.  The town is called Gandling, and a few years ago, it was a simple fishing village.  However, Venzan merchant ships have found it a convenient stopping point, in part because it's a convenient distance from Venza and in part because the harbor is broad and approachable.  Business has boomed, and like many boomtowns, it's filled with hastily-erected, ramshackle buildings offering services of dubious quality and even more dubious legality.  You arrive with the morning tide, and the captain announces that you'll be leaving with the tomorrow afternoon's tide.  It's an evil-looking place, but if there are things you need immediately, this is probably your last chance to find them."You announcing shore leave, squire?" Uder asks, eyeing a withered corpse hanging from a gibbet near the docks.  A sign around its neck reads "ThEfE."<img src="http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/pnthffr/peet_150a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> <img src="http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/pnthffr/uder_150.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> .
