I think we're a little understaffed here. The crew of a ship the size of the Qillathe should be at least 20... and I'd think more if we're a known pirate hunter. There should be some standard NPC sailors on our side, I think...
They're there. They just don't show on the map as I got really lazy and haven't yet drawn the icon for them. They're appearing there during this day. Maybe then I will be able to finally go to round 2.
