A week ago you have been tasked to make a diversion in the storage of the Dusk Syndicate in the Safe Harbor - to toss a bag with a weird smelling herb and make it look like part of stored goods. To cover the real purpose of your intrusion, you made sure to make place look like it has been robbed. While you were making a ruckus, you’ve stolen a few things, among which a pretty shortsword with weird writings, and a wooden box with a magic creatures (twigs) inside. On the next day you made sure to get rid of the box – although it was small, it’s bright red and yellow colors made it very noticeable.
Today, part of the Thundering Few are gathered in “The Kegs” in Pearl before departing to a hideout on Ellaya. The business is usual – just ferry some boxes and sacks back to Safe Harbor. Captain’s First Mate and your mentor, Avarren (also a sea elf, with black hair and one missing eye covered with the patch), will be the one in the lead of this business trip, along with Josh (23, human), Yutta (31, triton) – just sailors, and one of the Boatswains, Rover (44, human). As far as you know, Captain is on Katerna with the main ship (“Kupala’s Sister”, 3-decked caravela) and the rest of the crew. Meanwhile, Avarren is taking the second ship (“Orphan” – small ship with 2 decks).
You also know that you will be joined with one of the mercenaries from the Dusk Syndicate. You’re not sure why, and Avarren either. Captain’s order.
Thus, now you sit in “The Kegs” with Avarren and this girl Argynn, waiting for your crew to tell that we are ready to depart to Ellaya
