"Well, gentlemen, it looks like we've got our work cut out for us. Shall we go?" He turns to Lavinia and bows his head to her. "We should be back in a few hours. It can't take all that long to complete this, now should it?" He flashes a dazzling smile, and Muninn rolls his eyes at him. He turns to face Queequeg and Hargoth.

"Come along. Let's get this done so we can get paid, hm?"

Hargoth nods somewhat meekly.  He is no longer distracted by his thoughts and his inherent shyness is showing again.  "We can go."

"Beggin' yer pardon again, Missus, but yer after the ring mostly, right? So if we can bring dat back, is that enough? And how will we know it? Just look for a ring with yer crest?"

"Yes, it bears the family crest. The ring is all that I request however if you find the stolen money I would be quite happy." She says, leading them out the door.

"Just one more thing, Missus. Could we get a map of the layout inside your ship, and where you think the ring might be?"

"It was my father's ship, I have never even boarded it! I'm sorry I cannot be of more help. All I know is that is where he keeps the ring."

"Should be easy enough to find. A ring bearing a coat of arms doesn't seem something common to find amongst brigands, so if they've located it and have it in their possession, there shouldn't be any trouble locating it." Shrugging, Dast steps over the threshold of the doorway once they reach it, then turns to address Lavinia. "We'll be back in time for supper," he says, showing another bright smile while Muninn hides his face behind his wing, suppressing a groan.

Queequeg looks at Dast and shakes his head and says "We'll be back when we know sumtin..." and heads toward the door with the others.

Hargoth quietly follows the other two, wondering what he has gotten himself into.

"Yes, let's go my friends. To adventure! And what not." And he leads the mismatched group towards the docks. The moment they're out of earshot and eyesight, he drops the pompous noble act, sighing with relief. "Glad that's over. I swear, one more snotty noble requests my assistance with something and..." he curls his hands into fists as he talks, laying them atop each other, then yanks them violently apart as he finishes.

"So, are we gonna be going with that rot of me marching up and trying to join up?" His posture is much more relaxed, more common to peasantry rather than nobility, now that the facade has been dropped.

Hargoth nods a little.  "I've been helping at the docks for years, though I'm not a sailor.  It's the only way I can earn enough to eat."

"Great, you're both honest workers," the mage sighs, rubbing at his temple. He'd never done an honest day's work in his life, after all, and he wasn't looking forward to it. "Well, hopefully the two of you can give me enough clues to fake it." He slid the signet ring off of his finger, tossing it to Hargoth. "Hide that somewhere on your person, will you? If they find it on me, it might just ruin the whole thing, but you could say you stole it. It's also of the same design as the rings most nobles in Sessarine have made for their coat of arms, so it'll help us identify her father's ring."

Hargoth takes the ring and secrets it away.

[spoiler]
Take 10 for sleight of hand check to hide the ring and get a 17.

As you arrive at the harbor, you notice that the pier which should keep the Blue Nixie is empty. You easily notice that the Blue Nixie is moored to a float about 100 feet from the pier's end. If you spend a minute to look at the ship you notice four man on board. They don't seem to be doing anything.

Queequeg mumbles to the others "Paranoid lot, ern't dey? Keep yer wits handy boys. De' bones say we may be in fer a bit o' trouble. Walkin' up to da' cabin en askin' fer' a job don't look like a good strategy anymore, eider. Let's talk 'bout dis 'ere situation outta sight..."

Queequeg heads for the nearest alley or whatever he can use to get out of line of sight of the ship inconspicuously.

Dast takes the appearance of the boat in, then leans over to whisper something to the raven on his shoulder. The raven looks at him with disgust and takes off into the air, flying towards the boat to skim across the sky above it, looking down. Dast follows Queequeg to the alley, leaning against the alley wall and waiting for Muninn to return to him.

"Muninn is going to take an overhead view for us," he says quietly when he settles comfortably against the wall, looking to his two companions and listening intently to them.

[spoiler]
Muninn will fly slowly over the ship, taking 20 on Spot checks, for a total of 27.

Hargoth stands there quietly, waiting for someone to tell him what the new plan is.

On the main deck two men stand, on the front of the ship stands one man. They don't seem to be doing anything. Men are not shown.

"Well now... got any good idears? I doubt askin' fer a job is gunna work." He chuckles grimly.

"I could probably swim and climb onto deh ship, but I'm not much fer hidin', so dey'd spot me fersure. I ken use the wind to make a lots of distractin' noises, though, and help us keep talkin, even if we're not close anymore.

If eider of you is good at sneakin', or pretendin' to be one of dem, I could help you with some distractin' noises, and stay close by in the water in case you need help."
