"You may've won me ship, but the cargo inside it belongs to its buyer. I've come wit a proposition fer ye. Gimme back the cargo, and I can deliver it and make enough money ta pay ye double the money from the bet that night. Otherwise, ye best kill me now because I ain't leavin' again wit'out me ship. Make this deal and I'll put plenty 'a gold in yer palm, Redblade." the orc finishes with gusto.The tiefling looks at the Captain and his crew with an appraising eye. His girlthings giggle and touch each other while he conducts business. Finally, he seems to make a decision as he slaps his palms down on the table. "Captain, I'll tell you what I'll do. The money is great as a promise, but I'd be stupid to let you sail off into the dark with ship and cargo with just your word that you'll come back to pay me. It would give too many people  bad ideas about how they could try and do business with me. It would be horrible for my reputation. So I want something of value before I release your cargo and let you go do this deal you think is so lucrative. That way I make something out of this even if you break our agreement. Something more than the satisfaction of your eventual death after I place a huge bounty on your head at least. There is a dwarf by the name of Thorendin who owes me a shipment of gems. He lives on Mykonos' Sanctuary. Go there and get the gems he owes me. Return here with them and I'll hand over your cargo to you, Captain."Azrael considers for no more than a moment before nodding and spitting out, "Done."Redblade turns back to his other guests and girls, waving one hand in dismissal towards the group. "One of my people will give you details on where to find the dwarf."Azrael nods once more and turns to leave. As promised, one of Redblades' girls approaches the captain and tucks a small note in his belt before sauntering away in such a manner that makes the all male crew sorry to see her go but happy to watch her leave. Checking the note, Azrael finds that it does indeed contain the information he'll need to track down this dwarf Thorendin. "Time's a wastin' boyos. While I'd love ta give ya some shore leave here in Bacarte', that's what started all these problems ta begin wit' so there'll be nona that tonight. Back to tha ship and settin' sail we are." He leads the way back to the docks and boards the ship with a yell to the crew to quit slackin' and make ready for sailing. The sailors don't look very happy since they had just about finished getting everything stowed from when they came into port. Soon enough, the ship is back at sea and tacking towards Mykonos' Sanctuary.</blockquote>
