What a fine day it is!”“Ah yes.  Papers please.” He says while his eyes roam over the ship.  He sees the recent floatwood repairs.  Some of the boards however look to be plain pinewood from Eldeen.  Cheap but not very efficient for an airship.Grayson sorts through the scrolls that have just arrived.  He makes sure he finds the forged ones he just made two nights ago.  This Cedious character is so typical of adventurers.  Thinks he knows everything about airships because he won one or found it.  The hired help brings the scroll to the officer.  The officer opens the note and looks through it.   The Griffon’s WingCyrian airship, used for cargoPrior owner- Captain William F. GrouperCurrent Owner- Cedious of Breland“…and you are…?” the officer says as he finishes reading the document.“Grayson Joyrean”“You are the pilot?”“Where is Cedious going?” he asks as the adventurers gather up their weapons and go to a secure room nearby for questioning.“Simple question.”“Where?”“For questioning.  It is not everyday Ogres attack in plain sight like that.  Further, one of the Ogres was …enhanced.”“Oh.  And yes.  The Griffon’s Wing is air ready and passed the Inspection of House Lyrandar.”  The ploy works as the officer hands the scroll to the man without asking about the pilot again.  “Assuming the men, woman and the creature are not guilty of any crimes you and your ship will be allowed to leave within the hour.”  The officer looks over the ship once more then turns away.Grayson waits for thirty seconds before letting out a long sigh.  “I hope the halfling has no crimes on his record.  We leave within two hours regardless.”Turner Carl, the hired head of security for the ship comes up to Grayson after the Officer leaves.  “Is everything okay?”“Assuming Cedious and his adventurer buddies are clean then yes.  Otherwise we lift and circle outside of Fairhaven limits until further notice.”  “Very well.”</blockquote>
