With Wilfred sabotaging the rudder to some degree he was confident the ship would not be leaving that night, and the group agreed to take turns in watching the ship from a distance. The members tried to get closer, but the guards made it clear they needed no help, so your watch was from the end of the dock, and while you saw movement on and off the ship, like they were preparing slowly, the night was uneventful.

Morning broke with Cora and Don sharing the last shift into the hours of the morning. The last few hours there was no visible movement from the ship and even the guards were looking weary.

It was a few hours after dawn when movement came from the streets as a dwarf familiar to Cora and echo, with several soldier and a overweight human trying to keep pace. The dwarf Cora and Echo and frowned, and with a sigh, made for the group. "Ye and ye  friends are welcome ter follow, but ye step out of line and i'll throw ye in the brig like ye stupid friend."

Without waiting for an answer, he continued towards the ship where the watch spotted the group and sent word. By the time they were at the bottom of the gangplank, the tiefling captain, half orc and several soldiers were on the deck, looking down. The tiefling looked at her crew, then the Dwarf. "Commander Brankx.....you honor me." Her tone was clearly sarcastic, and the human at the dwarf's side flinched.

But it was Brankx who spoke. "Captian Kyra.....ye and ye brigands have caused much havoc in th' years - and with this new report we can consulted with the Arbiter and th' dockmaster here...." The fat human shuffled and avoided eye contact. "....and because of this we have been granted ter search ye vessel for any people not associated with ye crew."

The tiefling had her arms crossed, and though the crew had a sour look, her reaction was hard to read. She said nothing for a few moments, then smiled a forced smile. "I'm not one to argue with the laws of Emon - long have we traded with them fairly. I just hope that when this is proven false..." She looked at Cora and echo "....that all this will be put behind us, and any further dealings with us will be shown how willing we were to help."

A few of the sailors had confused looks, but the half orc had a smile as the captian indicated they could come on the ship.  She looked at the half orc. "Get all crew on deck - we will comply with the commander fully." The half orc, still wounded, snorted and nodded, going downstairs. She looked at Brankx. "You can bring whoever you like on board to search." She stood aside and crossed her arms.

Brankx frowned and looked at Cora. "Bring who ye want. Ye interfere, i'll throw ye overboard. Look only."
