Day 5 Early Morning
The money vanishes into the halflings pocket faster than the eye can see.
“Five gold each is pretty expensive, friend,” Errol said earning him an angry look,
“So’s a boat, yer wanna walk?” he replies in a biting tone. He gestures to a genesai standing in the forecastle,
“That be Cap’n Shoalar, I’m Pike, an’ I ent yer “friend”.
He watches Illvilious with impatience,
“Yer raid yer piggy bank?” he says with mocking laughter.
J.V’s offer of assistance receives equally mocking laughter from the crew that stops only when Nariah boards, not out of politeness as hungry eyes leer at her.
Errol notices that much of the cargo is marked with the
water symbol. It’s a mishmash of every kind of good, rather than the large quantities of a few products you would expect on a trader. The six man crew appears to be larger than any other crew and they are also much better armed and rough, even by the standards of a sailor.
Once all passengers and goods are aboard the
Rivermaid sets off, the crew, excluding Pike and Shoalar, poling their way up river. The river is over half a mile wide at this point and very sluggish, allowing you to travel faster than walking even against the current.
By late morning you see a fort upriver, built atop a low cliff and partly into the river. Even from a distance you can see that it’s somewhat dilapidated but undergoing some basic repairs.
GM: | I’ve taken you this far since no decision is required yet but gives you some insight into the crew and the chance to interact if you like. Just waiting for @Thateous to cast his vote, which could be deciding or cause a stalemate | |
