"He'd be easier to take out without this rubble in the way. 'Sides, blind bombs aren't going to keep him down forever at the rate we're goin'." Boris swings his staff at Da Boss's bro from the back row. If uninjured or if his companions haven't taken damage he repeats the attack otherwise Boris heals his wounded companions first if needed before himself. "Cedric, try and take out the last bandit with one of your strikes and then we can focus on some boxes." Battle Order: Cedric Addok-Zo Boris

Captain Winthrop leans in and lowers his voice. "Well I heard there wath a bit of a unretht a while back thomethin' to do with an underground cult or thomethin' or another and thome merthenarieth were cauthin' havoc and what not. To tell the truth, motht of uth don't make it back to Fellcretht often. You been there before? Though given the current lack of work, who know thome of uth may be headin' there thooner than not." Umbra who had taken a table off in one of the corners to watch the proceedings slowly makes her way to the table. The Shadeaux representative bows her head in greeting before speaking diplomatically. "Good evening, Captain Ahaba and esteemed crew. As I'm sure Mr. Ablesword has informed you 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." "Is that a fact? And what sort of compensation would my crew and I be looking at?" "I believe 300 Gold would be sufficient for ze job." "Come now, no need to insult me. My crew and I could collect salvage on the rocks for three times that amount." "But would your men prefer staying ashore close to fresh food and fine grog, or cramped for weeks on a boat in a lifeless ocean? 400 Gold." "The Rosalind's one of the smoothest and most spacious ships on the water, I'll have ya know. 500 Gold and we won't hold you responsible for any of our losses that may be incurred." Umbra turns with Hoke to the side and lowers her voice. "What do you know of zese sailors, do you zink zey're worz it? What of ze ozer crews?"

QM Note: Per letter of each post divided by 3.5. Fixed, sorry about that.

"Good meetin' ya as well." "Tith? A fine ten year Merlot." Captain Winthrop pours Throlar a shot of the mulled wine. "Tho are you planning on being in the warf for long, Mathter Dwarf?" "Really now, to be clear my men are not chauffeurs nor is my ship a carriage mind you. What sort of business are you in Mr. Ablesword?"

"We taking down this wave, or focusing on the Boss?"

"Cedric make sure you hit the Boss and Elite Bandit 4 from the front."

"Oh we've hauled in everything from sea serpents *Hic* to giant eating sharks. Naw really, the crew and I'd be up for *Hiccup* just about anything that pays well enough." "Of course, careful though don't want to step on the bad side of Captain Ahaba." Amelia leads Hoke to the table where the two scarred humans sit. The white haired woman, her hands and face covered in old battle wounds stands. "Captain, may I present Mr. Hoke Ablesword" "Unless he's comin' to shower us with gold and gems, Amelia, we're a bit busy. No offense Mr. Ablesword."

"Xu aye? Been a lot of turmoil there lately, newth from Fellcretht wath that there had been a coup. You involved with any of that?"

"Is that a fact? The Rosalind's been in harbor now for two weeks, if Cap'n doesn't get a job I'm sure ya'll have a crew of us willin' to do some extra work on land. Have ya met her yet?" "I'm a dock worker, this whole alliance thing sounds like a bunch of hog wash to me, just like something those scurvy Aoi would cook up." "The Krakkan and Billy's no captain. That's Notirt over there at the bar with that naked human."

The skeleton makes room for Throlar at the table. "The finest. Jutht becauthe we can no longer tathte the finer thingth in life doethn't mean we mutht forgo them." The trio of undead clink their glasses in response. "Aye!" The undead drain their goblets before ordering another round. "I am Captain Winthrop of the whaling vethle Reaper'th Revenge and these are some of my crew, Walter and Wesley. And you would be?" "Some of the best, not the best mind ya though. That honor belongs to the crew of the Rosalind on which I'm the navigator along with most of the other humans in the room here. Are ya in town long, Hoke?" "Ain't any good that does me, I ain't a sailor. 'Sides, what's this Crescent Union?" "Aye good to know 'bout the sirens. We tend to stick to the Jade Sea for hunting, but never hurts to be in the know, I'm sure Captain Notirt will be appreciative." Ripton takes another swig of his rum. "Billy and me have been on the Whaling Johnny bout as long as captain has, he's a bit of a ladie's man if ya know what I mean."

"An airship *Hic*? At least if ya fall overboard at sea ya can still swim, one wrong move up in the clouds and *Hiccup* Splat! Ha!" The captain takes a swig from his tankard. "The Whaling Johnny ain't just for whales lad. Sea monsters of all kinds bring quite a bit of profit. And who better then merfolk to dash into the deep to bring in the quarry? Sadly some of the lads been wishin' they could spend a little more time on land, might loose a few if I can't find another commission soon." "Eubric? That's quite a distance. Can't say we have any regulars from there as most of our patrons sail the Jade Sea. I think the Rosalind may have been out that way once." "You're with those blue Aoi dogs?" The Kappa spits. "And an airship none the less? Come to bombard us to Hel did you? Scoping out your next target are you?" The Kappa starts looking agitated again. "Billy? That's one of my ship mates. One of the best gunners we've got on board. Why ya askin?" "Well he's sharin' a drink with yer big boy right now." Amelia motions to the drunk merman at the end of the bar sharing a drink with Torald. "The crew of the Whaling Johnny's pretty much all the Merfolk in the bar right here. The Sharkling and Krakkan yer friend was chatting with earlier. The Sharkling over at the other end, and the rather humorous Piscean behind us. They're some of the best whalers on the seas and it don't hurt that most of 'em have a set of gills." Amelia downs her drink and orders another grog. "I don't think I have had the pleasure of getting your name by the way..." The merman tips his hat to Ezeran. "Aww he ain't causin' any trouble *Hic*. He's one of the finest land lubbers I've had the pleasure of meetin' this evenin'. *Hiccup* This a friend of yours Torald?"

The bartender serves Torald a shot of Ambrosia and as the Barbarian downs the drink he feels an aura of confidence and reinforcement wash over him. "Aye, they're part of my crew. *Hic* I'm Captain Notirt, owner of the Whaling Johnny. Pleasure to make yer acquaintence *Hic* Torald. Ya just ship in?"

"You're missing out there, lad. Rum be the nectar of the sea gods themselves." The sharkling takes a swig of his rum. "I'm Ripton, bosun of the Whaling Johnny and I call Wailing Warf as much of a home as a sailor can. Giovanni here's from Xu, and don't sweat it he takes a while to warm up to." "I just don't take kindly ta strangers walkin' up on me uninvited like." "Good thing you've got me then, otherwise you wouldn't meet anybody." Ripton takes another drink of his rum.
