[QUOTE="Morrow, post: 3446648, member: 301"] [b]The Weavers prelude[/b] Sully and Nate had never seen the Temple of Aster so busy. As he lead them to his study Bronson explained that the temple had provided shelter for dozens of people during the storm. That act of charity coupled with temple’s higher profile since the Ball had caused a new wave of interest in Aster’s teachings among the citizens of Freeport. Upon reaching the study the trio began to discuss whether they should follow [i]The Knife[/i] to Haven. In addition to the possibility of catching Soderheim, Nate suggested that the trip would provide an opportunity for Bronson to visit his family in Cauldron. Bronson’s assistant, Elias, entered the room and explained that there was a man at the temple asking for Nate. At first the trio didn’t recognize the man that Elias ushered into the room. His hair and beard were greasy and lifeless and his skin was ashen and pulled tight across the bones of his face. He looked like he hadn’t eaten in a month. “Cobb?” asked Nate, “What happened to you?” Horatio Blackthorne was a captain in the Thonian Navy before he was framed for piracy and treason. Captain Blackthorne and his crew were hanged and his son, Nate, was sold into slavery. Galen Cobb was one of only two members of Horatio Blackthorne’s crew to escape. Cobb had helped the group before, even helping to rescue them when they were captured by the pirate captain Morgan Bauman, but Nate hadn’t seen him in over a year. Bronson had Elias bring food and drink for Cobb, but he just pushed it away. “It will only make me sick. Everything tastes like ashes.” “What do you need, Cobb?” asked Nate. “For a while now I’ve been working for a man named Antobury. He’s an odd fellow, collects spiders. He has turned his house into a museum. I help him find and purchase specimens. This morning I brought him something that he didn’t like at all, a big red and black spider. A while back I mentioned that I knew you, bragged about it really. He said that we needed your kind of help, that I should find you as fast as I could.” The trio questioned Cobb, but he didn’t know anything more. They quickly decided to speak to Antobury and, after collecting Miranda and Queg, made their way to the Eastern District. [/QUOTE]
