Captain Reeth comes into view at the top of the gangplank. He peers down at Falen with a serious stare. The birdman is decked out like a privateer but Falen knows he more sailor than pirate. Instead of a parrot on his shoulder, a small lizard perches atop the kenku's hat. "Well, don't just stand there! Git your ass aboard and we'll git going. While your passage is free my time is not."Falen is soon on board and the cog is on its way to the harbor in Bluffside's Undercity. Falen can see that the Vulture is carrying a full load of cargo on its decks in addition to whatever is in its hold. The bay waters are calm and the little ship glides into the Cavern Harbor without incident. The docks of the harbor are buzzing with sailors, merchants, hawkers, waifs, and officials making sure no one is bringing in illegal goods or foreign adamantine.Falen barely has any time to chat with the captain or his crew before the kenku puts him off. "I have work to do so git!"The unseen seer is soon wading through the throng to the massive lifts that will take him from the Undercity up to the New City district of Bluffside. The lifts are run by water wheels and steam power and the one descending to him makes an awful racket. The lift arrives and the metal grate opens and dozens of workers pour out to begin what is likely the night shift, as dusk is soon approaching. Those heading home up in New City push on to the lift and Falen is carried on to it. The smell of people cogs his nose. Falen is thankful once he reaches the top and the workers exit the lift. He is one of the last to leave the lift.The Bluffside Regulars stop him as he does. "I don't recognize you. Are you new to the city?" The guard sergeant asks Falen. His tone is very serious. "New City is under Martial Law, I need you to provide your credentials or your worker's badge."</blockquote>
