Can You Feel the K'Tenshin In The Air?
In reply to Wungarr (msg # 17):
Cap'n blinks at you Wungarr, then looks towards the older troll.
She suddenly cackles and hoots. "Oh my! Sorry, sorry. I do appreciate the warning Wungarr. You've got my trust for that. But that's Urvik. He's an old friend. Got kicked outta his crew years ago. Now he plies the river, trading up and down the Serpent. He's ridden with us a number of times. He's safe as towers. At least as far as thievin' goes."
Urvik seems to have heard her say his name, as he looks your and Cap'n's way. But Vyk is saying something to him. Whatever it is, it's surprising. He turns back to the elf and looks surprised.
Cap'n slaps you on the shoulder. Mostly by standing on tip toe. "You should go say hello. He's fine. One of the good ones."
Cap'n is by the table, getting herself a bowl of stew when you approach her Gray. She scowls at you, and then murmurs, "Oh right. Lahylla's new guard..."
She cocks her head towards her left shoulder and listens to you as you explain. Her scowl gets a bit deeper.
"Thieving? On my boat? I don't know about a thread item. Oh wait. Yes I do. Her prior guards took it off some old boat.
"Hmmm. Well. I have no qualm with Lahylla's people searching for Lahylla's goods. So you can search.
"But.
"You have a member of my crew with you when you search. You worked with Wungarr before, right? Tell him I told him to help you. Also, the Engine is off limits. If you don't find your canteen anywhere else, I'll search there myself. You can search the Hold, but I want Nh'l with you as well when you do. He's one of my crew.
"If you wanna search the passengers rooms, you have to talk to them. Don't annoy my passengers though.
"If you find it, and find who took it, you come to me. I'll handle discipline on my boat.
"Am I understood?"
Cof laughs and slaps your shoulder Antero.
"Why not now? We have a crowd after all. Might as well offer a show too, eh?"
He steps forward, motioning to a sailor. He speaks to the t'skrang, who hurries off.
Cof turns back to you. "Alright. I issued the challenge. You can choose the weapon. Blades? Clubs? Or fists?"
