Captain Erqua hired us.  She's the woman in charge.  There were two locked chambers down below, and we were hired to get into 'em.  Got some equipment that we needed off one of the ships that ran aground, and used it to get through the doors.  First sealed chamber was empty, and we just unlocked the second one about 10 minutes ago.  My guess is that the Captain is checkin' on what Luttin was able to open up."He then takes a glance over at the young Jango and smirks.  "Consider yerself lucky, lad.  I was all for cuttin' ya, but the Cap'n saw that mark of yours and recognized it from what's chiseled down below.  She thought you might've been useful.  'Course it turned out we were able to get through the doors we needed to even without ya, so we didn't concern ourselves when you took off."The dwarf glances around the tent.  "Anything else I can do ya for?  Or ya just gonna slice me throat and be done with it?"[sblock=Khalia: ]When the dwarf said that Captain Erqua had "hired" them all... the phrasing was stressed in such a way that you got a strong sense from him that this probably wasn't purely a monetary deal and that perhaps he might not have had much of a choice in the matter.[/sblock]</blockquote>
