Rumsey poured himself a drink as the old man spoke, nodding his way through some of it and frowning sternly at others. When Greybeard finished, Rumsey gulped down the last of his grog and offered a wide grin.<span style="color: green"> "Wot do I offer? I offer ye wealth beyond yer wildest dreams, old timer. I already shook an' shaped this town inta a right solid pirate fortress wit' the help o' me crew, an' I doubt there's anywhere in Hyrule safer, 'sides fer maybe the Castle itself. Yer talkin' 'bout location, when I given ya the pride o' livin' the best damn place in this whole damn land! Now, wot do ya figger ye can do wit' that?" <br/>
</span><br/>Rumsey paused for dramatic effect, pulling out a tattered map of the kingdom and staking it to the nearby wall with a dagger stabbing through Darunia's location and then gesturing to the various small settlements along the coasts<span style="color: green">"I don't see the rest o' Hyrule as m'fellow countrymen, an' I know ye don't. Look at 'em as marks, ya daft codger. Take tha' li'l town o' Nabooru a day from 'ere. I trained 'em a right good spotter, the sort ya'd be proud ta 'ave on yer crow's nest. When 'e sees trouble, they'll 'ave jus' un'er a week t'prepare fer the assault. An' that's time that Darunia comes in. They send us their refugees an' their coin, an' we take 'em in like tha' good neighbors we are. Cheap labor, rent fer the tenements, flowin' rupees in the market, an' pretty girls in tha' taverns. Darunia will grow steadily as the darkness spread o'er the land, an' where there're growth, there's plenty o' rupees ta be found."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: green">"If ye dunnae wish ta directly contribute ta yer home's safety, I cannae help it. Bu' at the least, use yer ships fer goin' out there an' gettin' Darunia some fresh blood. I plan on leavin' a good scout where'er I go, an' so we'll 'ave plenty o' folk needin' ships ta carry 'em here. An' I'll leave wot ye charge 'em fer the passage all in yer hands, long as it leaves some wealth fer 'em to spread 'round Darunia when they get 'ere. Yer talk o' supply an' demand, jus' imagine the demand when Darunia's flush wit' refugee shanty-towns!"<br/>
<br/>
"Af'er all, I wouldnae expect an old geezer like yerself ta be eager ta fight an' bleed fer Darunia. But if not, can I count on ye at least helpin' in my efforts in the non-combat role? Wot do ya say, Greybeard?"</span><br/><br/><div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">

I'll probably introduce the leader in the next role, but for now, probably one of these. Theme is Pirate Queen, if that works?<br/>
