I decided Kid's idling merited a random encounter roll, and I got...An Enemy! Engaged in an embarrassing hobby! Involving a local farmer (tribal)!Let me mix all that together and figures something fun out <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> [/OOC]Descending the byway, Kid spots a pair of unlikely pirates from his perch within the arch of the Colonial Hotel. One man is unusually broad, is covered in bruises and scrapes, and carries his arm in a sling. The other is especially gangly, with his left hand bandaged as if from a fire wound. On the ground nearby them a dark brown ferret with white eyes scurries along, stopping every dozen feet or so to sniff at something or glance back at the two men as if waiting. A Nassau citizen in the simple clothes of a sugar farmer on the way up the hill nods to the men courteously but tries to avoid them. However, the ferret bars the farmer's path with bared teeth."Morning, lovely day for a stroll, t'isn't?" says the gangly pirate with a strange look in his eye."Well, yes, if you says so," murmurs the farmer dubiously. "Is - is that a ferret?""Course it's a ferret, what'd you think it were? An mountain cat? Hurhurhur," chuckles the broad pirate with his arm in the sling. "Hey, you're a farmer on the east side of the island, aren't you?""And if I am?" says the farmer leaning away from the pirate, but keeping one eye on the ferret hissing at his feet. "Is it always like that? It's not rabid, is it?""Well you know," says the gangly pirate, "they say pets take after their owners. So you'd best answer his question or he's liable to start hissing at you..."The broad pirate hisses at the farmer, causing the man to jump and nearly drop the satchel he is carrying. At the sound, the ferret stops looking ferocious and instead looks up at the broad pirate curiously. "Wh-what question? He didn't ask me a question.""About the treasure in the caves, you ninny, what else?" groans the gangly pirate in faux exasperation."Oh, the s-sea caves, you mean? They're just a myth, sirs. Why, the ol' bugger of a gnome Gruendemann has been recruiting treasure hunters for months and none of them have found it.""A gnome? Gruendemann?" the broad shouldered pirate inquires. His associate and him wink at each other. He scoops up the ferret which curls into his arm-in-a-sling."Won't be troubling you any more then, good farmer. Ta!" Giving a metal toothed grin to the other, the gangly pirate jerks his head toward the east and they trudge down the hill, voices soon fading.</blockquote>
