While Kroop snored away, Myra took over his tasks without a hitch. She even had time to start getting the galley squared away - in its current sorry state, it would take several days at best.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">New ship action for Myra: Clean</div><div class="spoiler_body">Clean: Make normal checks for a job’s daily task and make a DC 10 Profession (cook) check to clean.

Barefoot Samms talked to him again: a bit of pleasant small talk that didn't leave them closer at the end than at the beginning, but that wasn't to say it wasn't fruitful, as he got the first clue as to how he might reclaim his cherished sword.<br/><br/><em>The quartermaster, Cut-Throat Grok, oversaw equipment and booty - including Jing's and Myra's seized possessions.

To their surprise (or perhaps not, if they saw it coming), Jing and Myra were summoned to the mast, which during Bloody Hour served as a whipping post. Master Scourge was uncharacteristically gleeful, playing with his whip in anticipation. He was flanked by six toadies, all of them meaning business with saps ready at hand.<br/><br/><strong>"Jing and Myra! Ye have been found guilty of attacking yer fellow crew members. Witnesses saw Jing throw the first punch and Myra use black magic. The punishment is three lashes each!"</strong><br/><br/>But that wasn't all - he had something more to add, in a low voice meant for Myra, with Jing the only other person close enough to hear.<br/><br/><strong>"It's not too late - ye can still get out of this without a scar on yer pretty hide. All ye need to do is be my good slut."</strong><br/><br/><em>(You can submit, or resist verbally or physically. Myra has one more option of accepting Scourge's offer.)</em>
