Beldard nods in return as the conversation dies, then produces a roll of parchments from his robes, sits on a barrel and starts examining them.
The group then goes back to watch the slow movement of the coast, the sun and the waves. The travel is quite boring in a ship so small, and seems that you were told was true and nothing interrupts the voyage except a couple stops you use to visit taverns and stretch your legs; otherwise, a conversation with Beldard, the ship´s captain or one of the sailors are the only things that break the monotony.
Finally, nine days after you left Orussus the city of Gotian is at hand. All the passengers (the whole 5) disembark and Beldard farewells you. “I´d invite you to stay at my house, or my brother´s” says, “But I´m just going to stay some hours, until the ship leaves again, but I do not have a house and my brother´s is quite small. Also, I don´t want to burden him, he´s not exactly rich and has four children. So if you´re looking for a place to stay, try with the Green Dove, the inn you´ll find over there...” Beldard points “It´s very good, and not expensive. May the gods smile upon you”

After finishing your conversation with Beldard you´re left to explore the city. The group is now at the docks, surrounded by screaming seagulls, the smell of salt, rotten algae and fish, and lines of men working hard transferring barrels and crates from and to a couple ships and big square buildings not far away. Small fishing ships rock back and forth. It´s afternoon, and given the time of the year, it´ll be dark in two or three hours.
If Beamer and the others want to gather information, Banion will stay hidden, looking for danger and quietly listening.
