Altrian couldn't believe his ears, 50 gold pieces a day?! That was more than a month's worth of a salary. Most of his equipment he had either bought or taken from unsuccessful pirates when they tried to take what fish they had captured. He knew that they would need people who could fight on ship and decided this would be his best chance. He hurried home and gave the key to his landlord saying that he would be gone for a long time and headed down to the castle. High Noon was quickly approaching, and with all haste made his way there with all that he owned.
