[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 3014955, member: 16166"] [sblock]Spot check (DC 12) +23 - Success Intelligence check (DC 5) +15 - Success[/sblock] Over an hour past before Whale returned with the other knights and the dockhands managed to locate the Captain of the vessel in one of the many taverns in the area. Still mostly sober, Dragon yelled at the man over the noise of the storm and the massive vessel creaking on the churning water. The knight reached into his pouch and dug forth a handful of silver pieces and a more than a few gold, dropping them at the feet of the Captain in disgust. He pulled his mount in and approached the others, "He's charging us an arm and a leg, we're his only passengers. I'll be talking that out of our fee later." Alexi barely heard past the first few words, for Stephanie had smiled at him and nodded a goodbye, walking into the crowd. He barely saw the Captain desperately scooping the coins off the ground, until he lifted a single gold coin and bit into it. Alexi had seen many gold coins before in his life, dozens of them were minted in different places and times, showing no real association with each other (and sometimes varying weights as well) but each having similar buying power. The one that the Captain was biting was a rare one though, one that Alexi had found mesmerizing as a child. On one side of the coin was an image of Metropolis, but the other was facing him and partially obscured by the Captain's teeth, though he knew what the image was all too well. It was Stephanie's face. [/QUOTE]
