Jaeron just heads to one of the taverns with sailors avoiding the slums and merchant taverns.

"Well, I suppose so," Kalana says. "But I think I would follow him anyway because we are usually doing good works for people," she explains. "We just saved the Children of Meer from pirates not long ago before we showed up here."

Senllip continues asking the crier, "How come his name is known if no one knows any other detail about him or her?" after being answered he goes closer to the lady and see if she may need assistance in any way.

(OOC: Wow. I'm honored that you used a name I gave a city! Sorry I didn't recognize it. It just that 6 years had passed and I'm not that good with names.. or with memorizing things in general.)

Kalana Ioane (Merchant's District)"The Children of Meer? The fertility cult?" Aata asks. "That must have been...an experience. But why would pirates attack them? They have nothing of value, do they?"
Senllip (Marketplace)
"Because, as I said, he always leaves a calling card," the town crier explains. "The card has his name on it."
The woman is just wandering the area, looking at different vendor stands, but doesn't seem to be buying anything. It looks like she is merely window shopping.
Jaeron Dernfog (The Sea Hag)Jaeron makes his way back to the harbor and enters one of the first taverns there he finds, a dank place known as The Sea Hag. There are a number of sailors and marines within, drinking and eating.
At one table near the entrance sits a male half-elf, a female human and a female elf, chatting and drinking tea. At another table in the back, sits a female half-orc, a male lizardman, and a blue-skinned woman all with flagons of ale.
On the west side of the bar sits a female human, a male lizardman, and another female human, pouring over a map. On the east side sits a male dwarf, a female gnoll and a female elf that are discussing something quietly.
Behind the bar is a human woman with one eye, the other covered in an eye-patch.

"That was what we were trying to figure out," Kalana admits. "It seems they were capturing them as slaves, or at least that is what it looked like," she explains with a shrug. "Considering they are peaceful, I guess they were just an easy target for pirates."

Jaeron will enjoy/order a wine and meal to eat then likely retire to his quarters on the ship or look for an affordable room wishing he had a bodyguard in this rough town/city.

Kalana Ioane (Merchant's District)"That's troubling," Aata says. "It feels like the seas have become more dangerous lately. The reports of pirates and slavers and monsters come in much more frequently these days. Or maybe it's just my imagination."
The pair reach the bridge to Governor's Island and begin crossing it.
Jaeron Dernfog (The Tiaru)Jaeron orders a meal and drink, pays 5 silver, and eats it quickly, avoiding any conversation or eye contact if possible. He then returns to the ship. Aside from Heven and Varil who are working on ship repairs, there is nobody else on board. The remaining 148 crewmen are out in the city, enjoying their shore leave.

"What news have you heard?" Kalana asks Aata curiously. "I mean, about monsters and pirates specifically."

Kalana Ioane (Bridge to Governor's Island)
Aata shakes his head. "Reports on pirate and slaver activity increasing, strange reports about entire crews vanishing, and stuff about some kind of big war going on under the sea. I don't know, just bits and pieces here and there that I've tried to put together. It feels like troubling times are coming. Or maybe are already here."

"Hmm," Kalana says thoughtfully. "I feel like maybe I should pay you more for taking on my mission, providing that everyone agrees to it. There is quite a bit of danger out there on the way to Shadowshore."

Kalana Ioane (Governor's Island)
"I'm sure the others would appreciate that," Aata says. They finish crossing the bridge and reach the island. "Not too much further. It's on the north side of the island, so we'll need to circle around the keep."

"What do you know about this amusement park, other than it is new?" Kalana asks curiously. "What would an amusement park even have?"

With the harbormaster's logbook tucked under one arm and a large bag of gold under the other, Mathias awkwardly starts making his way back to the harbor. He makes it through the merchant district and into the slums, and is about to enter the harbor district when he notices he is being followed. He even recognizes a couple of the people tailing him; he saw them working the docks when he first showed off that black gemstone to the harbormaster. Recognizing his pursuers in his peripheral vision, Mathias makes a snap decision. He drops the habormaster's logbook to the ground and whirls around to face the others. Still hugging the sack of gold, he takes one a half-step forward to place his boot atop the book, then draws his cutlass with his free hand. "Alright, you vagabonds! If it's trouble you're lookin' for, you've found it. Who wants to get slit open first?" |

Kalana Ioane (Governor's Island)"I'm honestly not sure, aside from a lot of magic was involved," Aata admits. The two arrive before a large collection of colorful and large circus tents. They seem haphazardly placed with no real structure. Most have long lines of people at their entrances.
Mathias Blackcairn (Slums)
The ruffians slowly begin circling Mathias. They are also all armed with cutlasses and sabres, but also pistols, as well. The apparent leader of the group, a male half-elf, chuckles as he faces Mathias. "Afternoon, stranger. You sure look like you got your hands full. Why don't you let us help you carry that load?" His words are friendly, but his tone is rather menacing.
Two female elves face Mathias from the sides, and two more elves (one male, one female) circle around to his flank.
"You're surrounded and outgunned, so just make this easy and we'll let you walk away without any harm," the half-elf says, putting a hand on the pistol at his belt.

"Wow," Kalana says as she looks over the crowds. "This is a lot busier than I thought it would be. Where do we start?"
