Jaeron "Very well lets go see this Queen of Harts place. For me almost anything will be a welcomed change from what I've been eating aboard the ship." the gnome says then heads off seeking the Queen of Harts with the fellow cleric of Gonto.

"It should be easy money for you guys," Kalana says. "You are obviously going to have to sail there, and that is probably going to be full of all sorts of dangers. The seas haven't exactly been safe recently," she explains. After all, she has spent quite some time on the seas, so she would know. "Once you get to Shadowshore, it is probably best if you don't mention my name to anyone. You aren't going to get the most friendly reaction if you do, so I'll draw you guys a rough map of the place and where my family should be staying. I can't promise my family is going to be the most receptive either, but I think they are still suffering on that island so I know the money is going to help," she explains. "As for the pay, I was thinking a 1000 gold in total, but I'm willing to up that price if need be. I just need a group of people that I trust to get this money to my family."

Johannes stands on deck, contemplating what he should do with today's shore leave.

Kalana Ioane (Queen of Harts)Moray gives an impressed whistle. "That comes to around 200 gold each, yeah? Like I said, sounds like easy money to me."
"Here's what I don't get, though," says Wystan. "You say your family hates you, but you want to give them money anyway? Also, what should we tell them when they ask where the money came from?"
Jaeron Dernfog (Queen of Harts)Jaeron and the elven kohen head for the city square, then enter a large, three story building with a sign featuring a stag with a crown over its head. Stepping inside, they find the place is packed. There's a large lounge of sorts, where people sit around talking and drinking, and enjoying themselves. Servants walk to and fro among them, most of them wearing very little.
Beyond this area is what appears to be a restaurant of sorts. All manner of marvelous and mouth-watering smells waft from it. Jaeron also notes that Kalana is here, sitting at a table with five others, all human or elven.
A pair of elven servers approach, one male and one female, both with dark hair and fair skin and not wearing too much. "Andaran atish’an and welcome to the Queen of Harts," the male says.
"Is there something we can help you with?"
Johannas Barnsley (Upper Deck of the Tiaru) As Johannas stands there, he hears Toven and Mathias up on the forecastle. It sounds like they are having some kind of argument.
"A slave, aboard this ship, of all ships? It's outrageous!" Toven states.
"I told you, not a slave. I'm paying him," Mathias argues.
"Forced servitude is still forced servitude. I won't stand for it. If you were a member of this crew, I'd have you walk the plank for this!" Toven counters.
"Well, I'm not part of this crew, am I?"
"Indeed. You are someone we fished out of the ocean and gave passage to land, just as we agreed. And now our agreement is over. Get your belongings and get off this ship. You can find your own passage back to Narin." Toven demands.
"Fine! I work better alone anyway," Mathias grumbles, stomping off to his cabin.

Jaeron replies to the servers " Yes a table for two if you please we'd like to dine this fine morning." Jaeron waves to Kalana while he waits to be shown to a table if that is how this eatery works.

"My family suffers because of me," Kalana says. She knows that it is vague, but she is terrified as to what her old friends would do if they knew about her past. Not everyone was going to be like the captain. "Giving them money like this is the only way I can make it up to them. As to what to tell them, I want them to know it is from me but that is probably a bad idea," she explains with a sigh. "So just tell them it is from someone that has heard of their troubles, and wants to help. It is vague, but I don't think they are in the position to deny how much money I am giving them."

A concerned Johannes gets up and quickly walks over to Tevon. "What happened?" he asks. "What 'slave' are you two referring to?"

Last evening, returning to the ship, Senllip looks for the captain and report about the rumors of the "Son of Crizza". "Is there any chance we will go by Kaunati? It would be immensely interesting to meet a son of a god!"
After a good night sleep Senllip goes again to the market, searching again for thieves and trying to get leads on Senrick the out law.

Kalana Ioane (Queen of Harts)Wystan shrugs. "Alright. Sounds good to me."
Aata nods and looks around the table. "Is there anyone who disagrees with this job?" Everyone shakes their heads, so he says, "Alright, then we accept, Kalana. We can leave whenever you wish."
Senllip Browndoor (Market Square) The captain told Senllip the night before that there were no current plans to visit Kaunati, but he would take the idea under consideration. It would depend on what his new orders would be, if any, once he spoke with the Blue Lightning commander.
The following day, Senllip returns to the market. He decides he wants to try and get some leads on this Senrik he's heard about. First, he must decide how he wants to do that. Will he seek out his old thief guild contacts? Will he ask around at the local taverns? Will he just wander the streets and hope he'll get lucky and overhear or see something?
Jaeron Dernfog (Queen of Harts)"Right this way," the female server says, and escorts the two to a nice table with two chairs. Kalana does not seem to notice Jaeron at all; she appears engrossed in some kind of serious conversation with the other people at her table.
Once Jaeron and the elf kohen are seated, the server asks, "What would you like to eat this fair morning? Ackee and saltfish? Green Banana Porridge? Plantain Pancakes?" These are all traditional breakfast meals in the Octhanian islands.
Johannas Barnsley (Upper Deck of the Tiaru)Toven turns to Johannas. "It turns out that yesterday, during shore leave, Mathias was attacked by some would-be thieves. He defeated them, but rather than turn them over to the law, as one might expect an alleged law-man to do, he took their leader captive, brought him back to the ship, tied him up in his cabin, and decided he would force the lad to serve him. The Blue Lightning exists to put a stop to slavery, not endorse it." He shakes his head. "I knew it was a mistake letting a Guild man onboard..."

Kalana seems to relax a little bit, and she leans back in her chair a bit only to finally notice one of her crew mates. She gives him a little wave before she returns to her group of people. "Thanks you guys," Kalana says with a smile. "Since I don't know when I'm ever going to be in the city again, I'm going to have to pay you in full now. I also don't want to hinder you guys from having a good time if you just got back a job, so when would you like to leave?"

Jaeron sees Kalana wave back and nods his head slightly and follows the servers to his table. "This is a very fine establishment you have here how long have you been in business if I may be so bold as to ask."

"Well, I try not to judge a man by the company goes with-or went with, in this case-but I must agree that what he did is a serious misdemeanor, especially for one of his station," he says.

Kalana Ioane (Queen of Harts)"We can leave today," Wystan says. "Then when we return, we'll have even more gold to enjoy ourselves."
Aata clears his throat. "In other words, you've already burned through the gold we already had."
The others chuckle at this, and Wystan just shrugs sheepishly.
Jaeron Dernfog (Queen of Harts)"Thank you," says the server. "The Queen of Harts first opened its doors to the public seventy years ago. It has undergone many changes and renovations since then, some of them magical in nature." Johannas Barnsley (Upper Deck of the Tiaru)Toven nods in agreement. "The captain thinks so, as well. He is tolerant of a great many things, but forced servitude is certainly not one of them."

Jaeron takes out a piece of paper writing tools and jots down the information "Hmm very interesting why thank you. I'm a historian of sorts and I always like learning a places history so i can document it. Thank you. This is a very nice place so what would you recommend for the two of us to order for a morning meal?" the gnome asks the server.

Kalana laughs and stands up. Thankfully, she brought the money needed to pay her old group, and the money she wants to give her parents with her, so hands over the pouch full of money (1100 gold) to Aata. "Everything is in there, so you guys can leave at any time," she says. "Be safe out there, and thanks."
