As the knight and sorceress cozied up the antics of the gypsy bards continued.  They began to sing, dance, and play their instruments while carousing through the tables.  It didn't take long though for Trix to realize that their singing had some strange harmonics.  Perhaps not enough to alret the wary, but those with a few drinks looking to relax?  Very susceptible.  Soon they were offering the ladies rupees that were clearly excessive.  Kaihel noticed too that eventually only two of the three were playing their instrument, the third was...  pilfering!  She was liberally absconding with people's belongings.  Her quick hands zipped in and out of coin purses, belts, and loose objects like they were wisps in the wind.  Then a fourth girl appeared, playing her instrument as she was before.  After some delay the knight realized she hadn't really left, just his line of sight had been interrupted.  Which meant....  The fourth girl who was so brazen about lifting others' possessions wasn't really a member of the sirens.  Why didn't anyone else notice her?  She was just helping herself!  The girl vanished into a poof of smoke, reappearing next to the romantic couple.  With a quick gesture she soon had the blue haired auger's Ether medallion, though she frowned, looking at Kaihel with a look of clearly unimpressed until she noticed him noticing her!  It was obvious she cared nothing for the girl's token of magic but the startled expression of Kaihel seeing her clearly motivated the girl to vanish again.  The Sirens' didn't even seem to react, flawlessly keeping their routine up; but still relieving the locals of their rupees at an astonishing rate. One even slid next to the hero's table.  Strumming her harp and lyrically serenading the duo, Kaihel couldn't help but be impressed, thinking how such wondrous vocals should be tipped handsomely....  <br/>
<br/>
Meanwhile the pretty sorceress felt a bird land on the shoulder opposite of Trix.  A note lightly tied around it's leg...<br/>

From Malon<br/>
<br/>
Thanks again so much for your help with my father's farm!  With the farmer on his way, and the squatters removed I've been able to get my ranch started!  I know we haven't met personally but my family has told me so many great stories about you.  I'm just getting started so I don't really have much of a ranch outside of some fences and a shelter.  Hopefully we'll make enough to get a barn up before winter...<br/>
<br/>
The reason I'm writing you though is to let you know that the princess' horse Storm recently had a sibling of the same parents.  The breeder's name is Sing and she has generously donated this rare equine to our ranch as a startup gift.  It's a white beauty and I'm going to train it as a gift for you, so next time you're passing though you should stop by and visit.  We named her Moonbeam, and I can already tell why the royal family is taken with this breed, the way they move and act is almost like they're enchanted.</div>
</div><br/>
It didn't take long for the Sirens' to clean out the locals' male population of the majority of their rupees.  The heist was interrupted though as a young buccaneer woman stood up with a shriek.  "Who stole my cutlass!?"  The startled cry prompted more until the mood was completely dissolved and a near rioting crowd cornered several individuals.  Fingers were pointing and yelling erupted...  Who (if any) of the women would the heroes accuse?  A brief interrogation and the statements were revealed:<br/>
<br/>
Each interviewee told exactly one lie....<br/>

With the self proclaimed admiral's daughter safely returned, the man seemed much more amenable to Rumsey and his inquiries.  He rubbed the heavy beard hanging from his face as he collected himself before responding.  "You're not young anymore, but you're still naive and idealistic as ever.  Darunia can take care of itself.  The real profit is setting up shop where supply is scarce and demand is high.  Location, location, location.  I've devised a way to bring the location wherever it's most profitable.  What do you think of that?  I take care of my own Roona, and I suggest you start doing the same.  What could you possibly have to offer me to stay and risk my crew and wealth for?  I hope it's more affluent than patriotism!"  The pirate laughed wholly at that.  Taking in some more rum as he leaned back and waited to hear the former-pirate's (in his eyes) response.</div>

Recently her ship the Roc's Pinion ran into a storm as it neared the harbor.  Unnatural winds and a lightning laden tempest squalled around it but it survived!  As soon as it docked it was seized by devotees of a storm cult.  Apparently, one of their local prophecies relates to a ship that comes through a storm, and they’ve decided that the Roc's Pinion is that vessel. To make matters worse, they may be right – ever since the storm, the ship hasn’t felt right. Maybe it did become a haunted relic. The city watch of Darunia won’t help, as they refuse to get involved in religious disputes, and openly admit they're as on edge as the locals. It will be difficult to recover the cargo or ship without disrupting the local community.<br/><div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">

With the owner growing old, and still without competition he jacks up his prices continually to deter too many work orders.  His products are antiquated and he is ready for someone new to take the reigns.  Sadly he has no heir, and the only alchemist the party knows is currently a member of one of the ships' crew.  With her help the bomb shop could likely become much more advanced and efficient...  [Shop Bonus]<br/><div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">

A thuggish pirate approached from the flickering shadows behind the group and placed his hands on Rumsey's shoulders. "It's been a long time old pirate. I bring tidings from a mutual friend since X marks the spot. A corsair ship is harbored in Darunia. It was anchored there as a tribute to the royal family. The Red Lion, a swift vessel with the latest armaments and swiftness that military boats cannot match. It was seized by soldiers. Interesting isn't it? Soldiers seizing property that they were entitled to? They say they will sail out with it tomorrow to the East, but that's another conundrum. Why sail it away from your lord and lady? Sounds to me like someone thinks the Red Lion needs a different captain than the king of Hyrule, maybe they're right, just seems like it would do better under a buccaneer's command... " The pirate slapped Rumsey's shoulders again before spinning around and whisking himself out of the INN. </i><br/><br/>The Red Lion was easy enough to find.  Painted in a bright red, and artistically worked over, the ship looked as impressive as it was expensive.  Extra attention was drawn by the soldiers guarding it.  Wearing heavy plate armor in the hot, salty, sea air.  They were likely baking in the sun and they didn't so much as take their helmets off.   Ever.  They rudely shooed citizens and locals away from the dock where the ship was harbored as other soldiers loaded it.  If the heroes wanted they could likely pay for passage from one of the locals more easily.<br/><br/><br/><div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">

Trix could tell that the bards were enthralling the men to lay down rupees for them.<br/>
Kaihel could see there was a spirit piggybacking on the girls, using their distractions to rob the living, or was it their song?  Everything was getting terribly confusing to the knight  Perhaps she was possessing them?.<br/>
