Bhurgis, a sailor on the Cloud Dancer, says, "Bran was one of the passengers who helped fight the pirates, right? I haven't seen him. We haven't been able to find the Captain, either." His voice takes a nervous tone. "I don't know what we're going to do without him. Can you help us?"Vangelis, the elven merchant, is standing apart from most of the passengers. His eyes are red and he is shaking. "I don't care about some stupid boy's parents or the Captain. I had a lot of valuable cargo on that ship. Now, I'm ruined! House Lyrander owes me for this. They should have better defenses on their ships. Those pirates are just dirty low-born scum. I've half a mind to..." You walk away at this point. Vangelis continues to rant and rave to no one in particular. Phira, a pretty young woman, is helping tend some of the wounded. She smiles and says, "I saw you fight Thorn. You were very brave. I don't know where the boy's parents are, but I'll watch him for you. I'm sure you have more important things to do." Walking past a pile of bodies that have been collected, you notice the First Mate of the Cloud Dancer. His head rests at a strange angle to the rest of his body.The spellcaster, Yothcare, is in a strangely jovial mood. "Aalic, isn't it? You were sure all over the place when we were fighting those pirates. The deaths are a tragedy, but"--he leans in to you and lowers his voice--"I haven't had this much fun in years!" He laughs for a moment, then serious again, "I haven't seen Davik or his wife. Damn shame if anything happened to either of them. They were good people."Nuranal, another half-elf sailor from the Cloud Dancer, says, "Hey, you're the guy that saved us up there, aren't you? What's your name? I don't know what we're going to do if something happened to the captain. The First Mate is dead. We're stuck in the middle of nowhere. What do we do?"As you are walking around, you catch the glint of light on metal. You shift some rubble and see a fine dagger. The Lyrander Kraken is beautifully inlaid on the pommel. The blade curves slightly and is quite sharp. It is definitely of masterwork quality. You remember Captain Kravith carrying carrying one just like it. Jaken, a dwarf, says, "We've gathered up some wood for fires. What else do you think we should do?"</blockquote>
