Here's someone that might have a job for you and your crew. Captain, this is Lady Umbra Shadeaux. Lady Umbra, this is Captain Notirt. "A pleasure mam." The merman doffs his hat. "Ze pleasure is all mine, captain. Torald has informed me zat you and your crew may interested in some business shore side." "Aye, with the dry season underway, quarry is hard to come by under the waves." "Well zen, we are in ze shipping business and are looking to secoure some land outside of ze Warf and are willing to compensate a fine crew to ensure zat zings are taken care of for ze next week while we are away. Would zis interest you?" "Land ya say? What for?" "Zat I'm afraid is confidential."The merman stares long at hard at Umbra before shrugging. "Fine by me, as long as ya aren't lookin' to start in on the whalin' business, what ya landlubbers do is up to ya. What did ya have in mind as far as pay." "200 Gold." "Pfff. Mam, this drink nearly cost half that. 400 Gold." "And you'll need work if you want to keep drinking that as opposed to cheap grog, no?" "Ya make a fair point, 300 Gold then." "Allow me to consult with my companions."Umbra turns aside with Hoke, Torald, and Ezeran, before motioning to Throlar to join them if possible. "Well he's certainly cheaper zan ze humans, any idea about ze undead?" 2 hours ago, samuraiturtle said: Sitting at his table drinking water and other stuff. Basically watching the other people in the place. And then starts to fight off sleep, dozing off and on. A familiar figure waltzes in the bar orders a drink and takes a seat across from Germ. "Pssst. So what's going on? I thought your group was here on business not drinking away happy hour." Quote

What I gather is he is a gunner on a ship. Plus he might be a "ladies man". Not to mention that his crew mates are hanging around the bar too, so they could be a problem. Then Germ waves for Torald to come over. Maybe he could tell us some more since he actually talked to Billy. Quote

While under construction however we're looking for a crew to oversee some of ze construction." "Ith that tho? Well, my crew and I would indeed appreciate the work. What did you have in mind?" "250 Gold for ze week." "Madam, we may be undead, but even we thill have living expentheth. 500 Gold." "300 Gold." "400 and that ith my latht offer. Remember Madam, if you're looking for dependable labor, the dead have all the time in the world." "We'll consider it. Excuse us for a moment." Umbra turns to Hoke and Throlar.

If you are really worried you could try to get on his ship as a crew member. I am starting to wonder if you are any good at being a "bounty hunter". Quote

O, it's you, from outside. Uhm, yeah. We are working on it. Didn't really have much luck talking to him, but we are working on it. Hoke wants to do some other business first. But don't worry, he won't leave just yet. Hope that satisfy you? Quote

"You're task is secondary to ours, plus we weren't going to rush in without knowing what is going on. It looks like he belongs to the crew of merfolk, and none of the crews seem to be sympathetic to one another.
