A bit of the halfling's spunk returns as he sneers, "We're pirates. We work for ourselves. That's the point of it all.
"As to the cults? Honestly, If it isn't a stormlord, I don't have much use for it. Those masked humans, the ones who make all the noise 'bout their living god, they're making good out in Martna, though. Got a good thing going, from what we hear; at least, captain said we should steer clear of any ships what bear their mark. Was a prime mark we passed on couple weeks ago, what with that highfalutin' lady of theirs on board. But 'tween the masked ones and the constables what seem to be in their pocket, that's a mess of trouble you don't want on your hands."

Arms still folded, Quioan's smile turns into a frown. "I hope that isn't all that you have to tell us, because it isn't much. At this rate, I'm inclined to kill you just for wasting our time and energy in healing you in the first place." He resituates himself slightly, making sure the halfling gets a good look at the longbow hanging over his shoulder.

"What more do you want outta me?" the halfling flusters. "I can see the cap'n's lockbox open over there, so you already know where our main camp is.
"And all I know about this new god-thing is what the sheep say, and I usually don't listen to them any longer than it takes to get all their gold and slit their throats. To hear them tell it, Owbej himself visits that bloody temple, hooks up with his medusa high priestess, then sweeps through the streets huntin' down the unfaithful and swallowing 'em whole. Sounds like a load of hooey to me. If you wanna know more about that living god scam they have going in Martna, you'll do better to ask the blokes in the creepy masks."
Captain Renlow, back at the wheel of The Downpour, points to the growing lights ahead. "Whatever else you folk want to bleed out of this one, I'd recommend doing it soon. We're less than an hour from the city, and you'll need to ... get things in order--" the dwarf looks meaninfully to the bound halfling--"While we're still far enough out that harbor watch doesn't see anything."
"I saw that!" the halfling says, looking back and forth from the dwarven captain to the party. "I'm tellin' you everything I know. I cooperated and everything. You can't just ... you're do-gooder types, aren't you? You don't just ... " the pirate can't seem to bring himself to finish the thought.

Anna smirks at the squirming halfling.
"See? You did know more than you were telling us."
She turns to the rest of the group
"I don't think we will get anything else from him. Shall we leave him on an embankment somewhere?"

Quioan frowns slightly. "I'd just as soon slit his throat myself - I'm not exactly keen on leaving enemies alive, especially since this one knows we'll be alerting the authorities as to the location of their camp. But I'm not going to fight anyone on it, so if you want to let him go, let's drop him off. Bound. We'll let the rest be his problem."

Elenka scowls at the halfling. She has no further questions and, in fact, feels they may have revealed too much of their interest in Owbej to someone of shaky scruples who would be willing to use that information against them. But aside from killing the halfling which she isn't in favor of she doesn't know what to do about it.
"I don't condone killing him but his survival does prove problematic."

Note: Elenka kept a CLW potion and 2 flasks of alchemist fire. I think Quioan did the same. Anna and Yoshiki should both take a potion (I think there were four, yes?) and the rest of the stuff could be sold.[/sblock][sblock=MiniStats][size=+1]Elenka[/size] Human Summoner 3

Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 3)
The brow on Yoshiki's head lowers as he patiently listens to the exchange. Finally he adds his own input. "It is apparent that this man cannot be left alive. But I cannot simply kill a helpless man, so I will leave this in your capable hands." And with that he rises and walks back towards the captain and begins looking over the collected gear, keeping his back to the others.
When the deed is done and the others rejoin him, "Nothing else here is of any use to us. We should keep the map and the potions, the rest we can sell."
