@Cetus:

No one bothered Cetus on his way to the ship, except the warm breeze of the ocean fussing his mighty hair.

@Alicia:

The tavern called 'The Shanked Ear' was crowded. Many were drinking, sharing tales or just resting. Most were sailors, rest were weary travelers and citizens and other folks.

Ehhhhhh I think Harb just lost interest or something.

And Sheb is very close to winning to so we can call it a victory for him anyways

My dog had his bladder stone removed surgically after struggling with it for months. The vet said it was rather strangely and rough-shaped and propably caused extra pain as well. He looks happier already, and so do I.

Hold for now.

@Alicia:

"I believe in equality, you know. 350 and now lower."

"Ah, an orb! Not a common sight but nothing rare either. I shall tell you in few minutes." He then placed both hands on the orb and rubbed it about in many directions, his eyes squinted and his lips muttering some incantations.

He then rubbed his chin and intently stared at the crystal. Then he pulled out few books from under the counter and started quickly flipping numerous pages, his eyes going left-right at almost lightning speed.

Then there was more staring.

Then he mumbled some spells and the orb was electrocuted with red and blue sparks. Afterwards, Aristablos let out a loud hum as the orb remained unchanged physically and possibly, magically as well towards the sage.

"Just a minute." He went into adjacent room and brought back a book older and larger than any tome. He began flipping worn, yellowed pages, his eyes glancing at the orb, at the book, the fingers almost automatically changing pages.

Lengthy minutes passed before he reached the end of the book. The elderly sage placed the book on his lap, stared intently at the orb once again, and let out a resigned sigh.

"I have no damnedest idea what this thing is. It's magical, for sure." He replied already known fact with annoyance in his voice as wrinkles formed a mask of anger on his face. "Where did you find this blasted crystal?"

It took almost two days to get back to Di; Blackbones was an agile and fast ship.




Ethan took a deep breath and grinned at the sight of several, flag-less ships standing amongst merchant vessels or military ships of New Alvada.

"Good to know we're not the only ones successfully raiding foreign ships. But enough of that. I have some jobs for you, folks." He turned toward his crew.

"Cetus, go to the temple district and find Aristablos' workshop and ask him about the orb. Pay him if he asks for coin. Baurus, Aiesha and Alicia, check local apothecaries and weaponsmiths. Spare weapons and extra medicine will be useful in our next raid... Aiesha, you go for medicine, Alicia and Barry get the weapons. I will be at Admiralty's estate if you need me." With that, Ethan waved at his crew and marched in the direction of the city garrison and other important buildings.
