Calling themselves the Sirens' flowers.  The local sailors say their tunes are truly enchanting.  A few waitresses though are quite miffed about the distraction, saying their patrons are always running out on checks and skipping tipping since it started.  Even their regulars seem to be blowing off the local merchants' clerks.<br/>

</div>Calypso and Kaihel found the stage where the port town's latest entertainment was easily enough.  They even found that getting a table wasn't that difficult either.  Several of the local taverns had apparently adopted the attitude of 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em' and had brought tables, benches, and chairs outside to let their customers enjoy the free entertainment while still imbibing from their wares.  There was a brief amount of time before the show started and the pair of heroes were quickly approached by a waitress with a scowl on her face.

</div>  Theirs being the first table on her loop, it seemed like she was already having a bad day.  Using short responses and hurrying them along she seemed quite apprehensive!  A low murmur spread over the now filled tables, as she withdrew her notepad.  Several lanterns were lit and a trio of beautiful ladies armed with brightly colored clothing and various instruments took to the floor.  Ignoring the stage erected for them completely, they started warming up their instruments and voices in a prelude to their first song of the evening...<br/>

<div class="SpoilerTarget bbCodeSpoilerText">Meanwhile, Rumsey was meeting with HIS people.  His comrades included ruffians, thugs, pirates, merchants, wayward souls, mercenaries, bounty hunters....  The bottom feeders of the sea, and they were quick to rally when any arm of the law encroached on their business.  Good or Evil.  So it was, that when the bell was rung, and the leaders began to show up it didn't take long for them to organize.  For being so chaotic they certainly seemed to adhere to very militaristic organization on demand.  Things were going well for Rumsey, even when his contact arrived.  Gonzo's hulking form, crossed arms and all was an imposing sight, even among these rapscallions!  "Hey there bud.  I realize you're taking charge here and all but what about when you leave?  We have to focus on that too, can't hold these greasy beards' hands forever.  Listen, you could try to force your way onto that little Red Lion prize of yours now.  But I don't know if you have the muscle to do it right this second.  It sounds like manpower is what's on everyone's mind.  Maybe you could conjure up a little extra by talking to 'old Gray beard.  He's refusing to commit his four ships and their crew to this little effort you're making.  Calls himself admiral Greybeard now.  I bet he could use his ships to help you on both fronts...  Maybe you could pay him a visit and see what's holding him up.</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">
