The boat captain looks at you and your other friends and says "We're just about to shove off. Any luggage?"
Ramster holds up a pair of tiny suitcases and says "Ram-ram!" and then walks past the boat captain up the ramp onto the boat and you all follow him. When you get onto the boat you lean over the railing and wave down at Yuji.
"Thanks again, Yuji!"
"Uh, sure, have a safe trip, Mashi!"
[SFX: boat horn]
"This tug better not sink before we get to New Ore."
What? You recognize that voice? When you look over the railing you see Donaldo and Ourobros! The last time you saw Donaldo you had to give him <span class="mu-r">all your coins</span> so he wouldn't take Chompex away from Starr!
Auroara glances at Donaldo and looks at you and says "What's wrong?"
"He's a Trader!"
"What is a Trader, Aura?"
"Perhaps Auroara can tell us, Prima."
Auroara glances at Prima and Aura and says "We'll explain later." You all hurry around a corner and you all peek out and watch Donaldo and Ourobros and then they look in your direction and you all hide and when you peek out again you can't see them!
"They are a dangerous group of humans. They would very much like to... acquire any one, or all, of us." Auroara looks at Aura and Prima and glances at you. "They are tenacious."
Suddenly you see a shadow coming around the corner! It's Donaldo! You all crouch down behind some crates and peek out.
"Can't believe <span class="mu-r">those pirates</span> never showed up."
One of Ourobros's heads says "Ourosss!" and the other head says "Brosss!"
"Well, guess they don't get paid, right?" Donaldo leans against the railing. "This boat's full of losers. Can't wait to get to New Ore and see some real action."
"Ourosss!"
"Brosss!"
You peek out and see one of Ourobros's heads looking at you! The head turns toward the other head and says "Ourosss!" and then the other head turns and says "Brosss?"
The first head turns and looks but it doesn't see anything because you're all hiding!
You hide all day and finally you hear the boat horn again. It seems like it's already the middle of the afternoon! When you get closer you see <span class="mu-r">a bunch of buildings</span> along the shore in front of the boat. This must be New Ore! Donaldo walks down the ramp onto the dock and starts walking into New Ore. You wait a moment for Donaldo to get further away and...
What? You just realized Ourobros isn't with him? When you turn around you see Ourobros float between Aura and Prima and one of Ourobros's heads looks at Prima and says "Ourosss?"
Prima turns away and pulls her hat brim down and then Ourobros's other head looks at Aura and says "Brosss?" and Aura pulls her hat brim down and looks away!
"Ourobros! Get over here before I pawn your scales!" Ourobros looks at Aura and Prima again and then floats past them down the ramp toward Donaldo.
>Try to follow Donaldo (roll 1d100)
>Wait on the boat until they're gone
