I wasn’t expecting that.”Kiohrin looked around before spotting the gnome who had spoken to him. “Uh, yeah. I figured I’d chase her but then she jumped in the water and, uh, that is, I’m not jumping in the water for someone else’s murderer.” Kiohrin kicked himself mentally at how stupid that sounded. He just hadn’t wanted to mention that growing up in a desert meant his swimming skills weren’t’ that great. “Yeah, I can’t run real fast. I’m kind of a small guy.”Kiohrin thought that was a bit of an understatement, but then again, he knew he was taller that average. He chuckled as they walked back to the stage area.“I’m Kiohrin.”“I’m Frederick.”As they reached the stage area, the Harbormaster was taking over. A spot of blood was the only evidence that Captain Lydon had ever been there.“Everyone please come back,” the Harbormaster pleaded. “Everything’s been taken care of. The Watch has everything under control and the Captain’s men have rushed him to a healer. He should be fine. There’s ten kegs of ale on their way if you’ll just come back.”Kiohrin and Frederick were able to get front row spots as the crowd slowly trickled back.“Now let’s get this thing on the road. The Great Raid did Freeport proud and no pirate more than One-Eyed Jack. He was lashed to the mast of Drac’s flagship and fought over a  dozen fishmen with only a belaying pin. He was quite the salt to be reckoned with. So, in honor of him, is everyone ready for One-Eyed Jack’s Last Stand?”As the crowd went wild, the Harbormaster pointed off to the side of the stage where a pole had been buried in the ground. A group of men stood nearby with padded staves, as the first contestant was tied to the pole.</blockquote>
