Given the many attempts to steal the source of Sweetwater from the Barons themselves, the city is built like a veritable fortress. There is a permanent Navy platoon stationed here, with cannons aimed at each ship that makes port to blow them away the moment they try to make off with any stolen fruits, so you figure you should be careful.
<span class="mu-r">"Stay on the ship."</span> You tell your new crewmate, the Pirate with a P burned onto his head. He grunts in agreement. Seems he has no interest either.
The throngs of people on the docks is giving you vertigo. This is nothing like humble little Guyot! You see so many people, from small islander men, the radiant skin and hair of Fruit-Baron women waving from atop their high walls, the smiling Good-Teethers, even some strangely brown-skinned folk from the Greenwater isles, wearing shrunken human heads. You shiver. Further in, you see the markets and sellers, before Squint stops you.
"Captain; the Fruit Barons will often give payments in either juice or in pearls. I can arrange to have what's left of the whale; organs, sperm, flippers; and can probably get a jug of Sweetwater for it."
<span class="mu-r">"Is that more then they'll give in Pearls?"</span>
"You know how valuable that stuff is, but it won't sell for much here. Pearls might be worth less overall, but you could buy more weapons or hire more crew with the money you'd like, and ships are often preyed upon leaving this port for obvious reasons. Sweetwater makes a good prize, and a stray cannon-shot can break it and spoil the lot..."
You have a little time to explore the port before the buying and selling is done. What would you like to do?
