  1. "Now that you say that, I remember. I have not had any dealings with them personally. Do you think they would issue a frivolous bounty over something petty?" "Let him take care of this himself," Hoke says, growing tired of the 'demon's' childish behavior.
  2. "Where are you two going? We are not done yet here."
  3. "What shall it be gentleman? Throlar and I have suggested the Undead, and Lady Umbra seems to agree. Are we all in agreement? Secondly, an "Aunt Theresa" posted the bounty on the squid fellow. Shall we collect the bounty for the penguin?" "Sisters of Danab? Who might they be?"
  4. "Careful with your words, because you may wind up facing the wrong crew." Hoke backed away, watching the penguin, and turned back to Lady Umbra, signalling all the others to come near.
  5. "Easy there yourself," Hoke says as the black metallic orb begins to vibrate as he slow takes his hand of the penguin, trying not to make a scene,"Does she have a name?"
  6. Hoke grabs the penguin before he could leave. "What did he do?"
  7. "Unfortunate," Hoke says, having second thoughts about his crew, again. "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. I was working on clearing out the tavern with employment before we moved to apprehend your target," he says to the bounty hunter.
  8. "Well, what exactly are you looking for? If it's the cheapest source of labor, I say go with the Undead. The Merfolk seem to have ran into some trouble, at least the squid did, so I am not sure we should hire trouble makers, especially for our expedition. The humans," Hoke says, looking at Amelia and the captain,"Seem to believe they are above the task. A bit proud I guess. That could be good, but also very bad." "Speaking of trouble makers," Hoke says as he sees the penguin speaking with the demon,"Madame, it's your decision to make, but I believe the best choice given our limited information is the Undead. Let me take care of the bounty hunter." Hoke makes his way over to the penguin bounty hunter. "A bit impatient?"
  9. "I think it would be only wise to consult with the undead on this," Hoke says in low tones,"Throlar, can you introduce us?"
  10. "There are at least two other crews in this tavern," he whispers back,"I'd rather us not give all of our financial backing to a single crew before we hear the other ones out. I believe the merman at the bar and possibly one of the skeletons over there are captains. We should check with them first."
  11. Hoke smiles and looks to a table in a darkened corner and waves over for Umbra to join them. He also gestures towards the barkeep to deliver 2 more rums for Captain Ahaba and the man sitting with her. "Lady Umbra, may I present Captain Ahaba of the Rosalind, Amelia, her navigator, and this fine fellow I am yet to be acquainted with," Hoke says as he indicates each crew member,"And Capt, Amelia, and my good man, this is Lady Umbra Shadeaux of the House Shadeaux, esteemed delegate and representative of the Crescent Union. Drink compliments of me as we discuss a possible business venture." "Madame," Hoke says as he pulls up a chair for Lady Umbra to sit at the table and stands beside her as she sits.
  12. "Not a shower perhaps, but I've got work on tap if you're interested," Hoke says confidently to the captain,"It's honest work transporting goods, crew, and passengers. It may not be as exciting as whaling or wrangling sea monsters, but it pays."
  13. "I can say I haven't had the pleasure yet. Could you introduce me ?"
  14. "Long enough to pick up a crew or two interested in some honest work, perhaps collect a bounty, and make a few friends. Interested in any of those?" Hoke asks.
  15. "Hoke Ablesword, my Amelia," Hoke says with an exaggerated bow,"Whalers you say? The best even? Are you on this crew or do you have another?"
  16. "Yes. nautical equipment indeed," Hoke says as looks back to Torald and then back to Amelia and moves a bit closer,"He's a big enough boy. He can take care of himself. But Captain Notirt you say? That name seems like it should sound familiar? Care to catch a fellow up on Captain Notirt? His crew you say? Who might they all be here?" Hoke says as he looks around, trying to look wide-eyed and impressed. And in looking around Hoke notices the sorcerer's gesture. He inconspicuously taps his finger towards Amelia, and motions for Ezeran to take care of it. He turns back to Amelia with a smile.
  17. Hoke chuckles as he takes the lady's hand and brings it up to his lips. "No doubt to that," Hoke says, feigning being impressed and interested,"Speaking of ship..." Before Hoke to finish his thought, he saw the barbarian addressing the squid-like person who could be their target. "One moment if you will," he says as he walks briskly over to the barbarian. "There you are!", he says as he grabs Torald,"Sorry lads if his big fellow is bothering you. Too much grog and too long on the sea for a first timer. Sorry about that! Enjoy these drinks on me," he says as he waves the barkeep over for 2 more rums and ushers the barbarian to the bar. "Stay here and try to keep out of trouble," he whisperes harshly to the barbarian. He turns back to the Amelia, a slight grin on his face. "Sorry about that, but where were we?"
  18. Hoke walks up to the bar, waves the barkeep over, and purchases 1 of each snack and a rum. "What do I see?" Hoke asks as he slides the rum over to her and eats the Big Apple and Chicken Drumstick.
  19. Hoke walks slowly throughout the room, trying to catch snippets of conversations. He stops at the bar side of the steps and leans against the support, his back to the octopus type creature and its companion, listening.
  20. "Very well. Let's be on our way." Hoke heads to the Tipsy Turtle.
  21. "We are very good at collecting bounties," Hoke says as he steps up with a diplomatic bit of Command in his voice,"We would be glad to assist you in this in exchange for the Tiger Balm as my friend here proposed."
  22. Hoke eyes the merchandise as the sorcerer addresses the shop keep. He also takes notice of the figure in black.
  23. "Where can we find you a doctor or is there any medicine we can bring you?"
