It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Fjord, a half-orc warlock . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Jester uses her disguise kit to put makeup on Beau. Yasha stays on the ship to keep an eye on Gallan and Marius.
DM: Okay, you approach. This is a human fellow, lanky with a very pronounced Adam's apple and a cleft chin. Big sideburns and this mop of reddish-brown hair, a thick sweater on that bunches up around the neck. He turns back as you approach. "Hi, can I help you?"
Player: Yes. We're trying to get in and out of port as fast as we can looking to acquire a few crew members. Would you do me a favor though? I'll produce the five gold and say: Would you mind telling any inquiring minds that we've been here for awhile and that we're coming from--
DM: "You're on The Mistake?"
Player: The Mistake, that's correct, yes, and we are coming over from-- what was the port in between Port Damali and this one?
DM: Well there's two, but Port Zoon's the closest.
Player: Yeah, we're out of Port Zoon and we're just trying to get there and back in the same day if we can.
DM: Make a deception check.
Player: 15.
DM: He gives you a nod and goes to shake your hand and goes, "Understood." Slips the coin into his hand. "All right, in and out real quick." Take the paper, folds it and hands it back to you.
Player: Is there a posting for people looking for crew positions? A sign?
DM: "For that you're probably going to look outside of the Seafloor's Bounty or probably on the board at the Withered Bird Inn."
Player: Okay.
DM: Seafloor's Bounty or the Withered Bird Inn.
