OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS.

[murderbaby]

WHO: Fitcher, Mhavos Dalat, Lino Nieri, Derrica, Leander, Laura Kint.
WHAT: Some rich dicks got dicked around.
WHEN: Early Kingsway.
WHERE: The Wounded Coast.
NOTES: Violence, probably. Will update if More Happens.

To Review,

• Mhavos recieves word from former employers, the wealthy d'Antret family, that their ship to Kirkwall has run ground on the wounded coast.
• He's stopped from throwing the letter in the fire by Fitcher, who bullies convinces him to assemble a search party.
• Lino Nieri, Derrica, Laura Kint and Leander end up volunteering.
• When the wreck is found, it's not all that wrecked; the ship is largely intact, just beached. The wealthy nobles are nowhere to be found.
• However, there are some supplies of tea, coffee and sugar, only lightly damaged. There's also a ledger indicating a d'Antret heirloom (a Dalish amulet) should be on the ship, but can't be found.
• Everyone outvotes Mhavos, and the party decides to try and find the missing nobles.
• They track them to a cave filled with bandits, planning to ransom the nobles back to Orlais for a lot of cash.
• The bandits aren't too difficult to defeat, and the nobles are... moderately grateful. And not giving up their amulet or any of the stuff still on the ship.
• ...Unless you feel like stealing it / cajoling them more? Only Time Will Tell.

Please feel free to make top levels at various points in the mission for maximum versatility.

Mhavos is standing on the edge of the deck, leaning against the railing. He's holding the ledger book, flipping through the pages.

"You mean, the cargo stolen by bandits?" His voice is thick with irony.

"We'll get it back," Derrica says, serene. Even the looming threat of bandits doesn't diminish her certainty that they'll end up in possession of both missing rich people and missing cargo.

He crouches to peer through the holes punched through the deck. There's some parcels there, and Derrica's interested, but she returns her attention to Mhavos anyway.

"Do you want to get them back?"

The people, more than the items. They'd come all this way, but that doesn't mean anything. Maybe he doesn't want to go through with this. There's nothing stopping them from leaving.

She didn't get the joke; oh, well. He can hardly count it against her. He knows he sometimes couches things too far in irony.

"That's why we're here, aren't we?"

[tender]

Derrica shrugs.

"Obligations are complicated," she says. "I've fished people out of the sea that I'd rather have thrown back before."

Arguably a more irritating situation, because then you were stuck with them until you made it back to a port.
