>SELECTED: “Fine. But I demand an explanation later.” Perhaps the Captain truly did not know of the sorcerer, but he has been too deceptive in enlisting your aid by far. You mislike being used, the man is pushing the limits of your good faith. [Hearty]
<span class="mu-i">“Fine.”</span> You snap, your temper rising. <span class="mu-i">“But I demand an explanation later.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“Of course.”</span> Captain Verdicci replies demurely, a comforting hand resting on the boy’s shoulder.
You glower at the man’s back as you cover the rearguard, the other hirelings slinking off as one to the pre-arranged meeting point. In the end it is only yourself, the Captain, his new charge, Mikail and the remaining sailor that slink aboard the <span class="mu-i">Coy Siren</span> under the cover of darkness.
>Jess the Kid: TRACKING AUTO-PASS
The Captain later assures you that arrangements had been made to see them all adequately compensated through various discrete sources, but you breathe a sigh of relief all the same when your Fae archer vaults from a shingled roof to join you at the docks and gives you the all clear sign. A man that has been paid to participate in questionable endeavours might be just as willing to identify his compatriots in said activity if the price is right. You’ll sleep better tonight in the knowledge that no one followed you to the ship… and that said ship is departing at first light.
