"Good evening sir" Darksten says to the Doctor as he tries hard not to stare at his large head. The faint wiff of decay reaching the ranger's nose 'It seems quite a it has been going on here lately huh?"

"Quite so. Dr Slant assumes that you are from Heroica? Bismark said he'd send you if Dr Slant didn't send him his papers quickly. Very Rude of him. When you take the Documents you will need to Charter a ship at the docks, sail to a town in Draida bay, and head to Bismark's cabin. He's somewhat of a recluse one might say. Well?"

"What sort of papers are these anyways?" Darksten ask, shifting around the room to take a closer look at the sword on the wall, and the chest near it "Seems to be pretty important"

The sword is a display piece, blunted and heavy. Almost entirely made of metal. The chest had a heavy lock on it, and as Darksten goes to look closer:

"Please get away from Dr Slant's life savings, you are making Dr Slant uncomfortable. The documents are Guild of Invision recipes, for bombs. Lots of Bombs. Hence every insurgent in Olegia wants them. "

"So you plan to sell them?" Deus asked. He still felt somewhat suspicious about what was going on here.

"Dr slant is sending them to Mr Bismark for testing. Then, maybe."

"Well, I guess we'll be off to the docks then" Grimwald said, a bit uneasy about the whole ordeal.

"Is there anything else we should know about all of this before we head out, Dr. Slant?"

"The town you'll need to go to is Portston. To get to Bismark, just go south from there."

The party head down to Eubric's lesser docks where one could charter a small ship. Three figures Stand on the dockfront. In the distance, the party can see the ships they'd be hiring, A bonaparte Scupperer, and two trading Flute's

"Red rooster! Finest ship the world has seen! For just, yes for just 10 gold it can take you throughout Olegia!"

"Seeking passengers for the Blue moon to Portston! As long as you don't mind sparing 20 gold we have various cabins for the discerning gentlemen."

"Bloody crate! This is a two person thing, and they give me this ironbound piece of shit. I'm a marine, not a fecking sailor. Cargo's their job."

"What do you guys think?" Deus asked the other party members, "I think I'll take the Red Rooster."

"What do you guys think?" Deus asked the other party members, "I think I'll take the Red Rooster."

Darksten feels the small amount of coins in his pocket and knows which option he has to take.

"Yeah, the Red Rooster sounds fine"

As the Marine lugs the crate by, Darksten hears her grumble. He speaks to her

"Hey there, what's so important they have a Marine of your stature guarding it?"

"Well, I could always spend the extra ten gold for better cabins if you want, but the Red Rooster is fine with me, too."

Grimwald then turns to the Bonaparte scupperer.

"Greetings miss, that looks awfully heavy! Would you like some help with it?"

"Hey there, what's so important they have a Marine of your stature guarding it?"

"It's just cargo, I dunno scarves or somethin. We're going to some shitty little village called Portstown or something like that."

"Greetings miss, that looks awfully heavy! Would you like some help with it?"

"You just get the other end there would you, and help me take it up to my jolly-boat?"

"It's just cargo, I dunno scarves or somethin. We're going to some shitty little village called Portstown or something like that.

"Shifty? What makes you say it is shifty? Doubt they would send an escort for a bunch of scarves ma'am. But if you don't knows that is ok."

"Sure thing."

Grimwald happily helps her with her cargo.

Darksten starts to walk abreast the female marine, waiting for her response as the party moves towards her ship.

"Shifty? What makes you say it is shifty? Doubt they would send an escort for a bunch of scarves ma'am. But if you don't knows that is ok."

"I said shitty, not shifty."

"Sure thing."

Grimwald happily helps her with her cargo.

"Thanks you, you're a gentlemen, I'll put a word in with my higher-ups for you if you want?. Say, you blokes want to join us on the swift? It's a long journey, but we have blackjack."

"My pleasure, really. Also, I've never been one to deny such an offer, so I'll accept the word-in, thank you very much. As for you other offer..."

Grimwald turns to his companions.

"How abut it, lads? They appear to be going where we're going, after all."

Darksten feels a bit of embarrassment for his mistake but it quickly fades.

" I am in for the adventure "

QM note: I will not be able to post until tomorrow afternoon due to travel, sorry!

"Seems okay to me," Deus replied.

"Alright then, looks like we know how we're getting to Portston!"

"Alright then, looks like we know how we're getting to Portston!"

"Aye, and I know we will be in good company" Darksten says while eyeing the firm body, and flowing blond hair of the female marine

The heroes get into the marine's jolly boat and row up to the swift. As they approach it's bow, they notice figures going to the rails.

"Alright marine, who are our guests?"

"Did they take you hostage girly?"

"Or are they your boyfriends?"

Darksten waits for the girl to respond. He didn't see himself as a hostage taker or a boyfriend, but hoped perhaps they could be bunkmates for the cruise

"I... er, I mean we helped her with some cargo, so she offered to take us to Portston along with you. I hope that's alright."
