M'bungie nods at Sunny.
I can be prayin to da spirits, and dey be doin' what ye be wantin', seein? Be keepin' dis one from rottin' away, ya?
The trip back to the main part of Rickety's is uneventful, and you are met with good news when one of Rickety's men meets you at your room and tells you that your ship will be ready the next day. Without much else, he leaves.
Suny spends her time skipping about the place, still curious about every one's goings on. She is also happy to show of her new shirt quite proudly. (^_^)
Alistar packs his stuff away on reconfigured ship. He walks among the men praying and giving them the blessings of Besmara before taking his side by the captain.
"So Captain, whats our course? Shall we capture the prize of the slave ship. As a former slave this would be my vote."
After the Salvers,

As you all sit in the common room of the building Rickety put you up in, something curious happens. Through an open window, a mechanical silver parrot flies in, and lands on the table! It cocks it's head, and opens its beak. Pouring out a voice that's well enunciated, but grizzled.
Hello Captain Dagger. This is a message from myself, Corlean Hanscombe. I have sent my daughter to you in order to confirm my willingness to the alliance you proposed. I wish you to know, I am not your enemy. Please, keep the artifact you recovered, in the good faith that when I need it, you will willingly bring it to me. I assure you, my motives are not bad ones.
We both know my daughter doesn't wish this alliance to happen, and I'm sure you've seen her temper flare. Be wary, lest she try to convince you to hand over the artifact herself. Please, do not hurt her. Just tell her I sent you this message, and that if she tries to stray from the orders I gave her, she will face dire repercussions. That should be enough to convince her to deliver the item I sent her to you with, and return home. She is to give you the second key as a token of my own good faith. There is to be no fighting. I will take her return to me as the same token from yourself.
Fair seas Captain Dagger. I will call on you when I need you again. For now, carry on however you wish.
And keep the parrot, it's quite nice.
With that, the voice stops and the parrot becomes inert.
"Well she faced dire repercussions, and with no assassin bodies it looks as if we just killed her. This will not end well. What's our next move captain?"
You've heard rumors at the Tavern in Rickety's Squibbs that a huge vessel, carrying slaves of an indeterminate race, came in for repairs. The guard onboard were heavily armed, and several people claim to have seen "lizardly humans" through port windows when they were able to sneak up. Voices were also heard at night, trying to get passers-by to release them, with promises of rewards.
Alistar, Sunny, Noro. we should be going after this ship. We need to figure out what the new name is and the previous name is. I am leaving that to you all. we should be able to get with them in a couple of days or so. Also try to find out their last course.
As the Parrot comes in
motions to be quiet
Once the parrot is done talking, I grab it and place it in the chest. Before anyone speaks
Laughs, Well she did get what was coming to her, But since we killed her and Sunny now has her power, we need to come up with a plan. I suggest that we sell this parrot, as much as it is nice, I do not want any spies from him on board. Alistar I will take it to you get rid of the item, get some coin for it. Do not let on where it came from though. Sunny do you feel any different in your mind? Anyone know what the item was that she was to give to us? I hope it wasn't the bond that Sunny got. I do not plan on working with him at all. Do you agree everyone?
M 'Bungi do you know a spell that we can send him a message? I'd like to tell him that she attacked us and left us no choice, to fight for our lives. Hopefully he understands if not we'll be on our way and lost from here.
noro, I have a task for you tonight when you go to the tavern spread the word that we're heading north and that we are heading to go and get some plunder from Raptor islands, I want you to spread that loud and proud.
Suny nods in enthusiastic agreement at Capt'n Harvey's initial plans though when the silver parrot flutters onto the table she can't help but exclaim "Birdy!" She listens intently to what it has to say, though how much she understands is any one's guess.
When Harvey questions her about her head... she closes her eyes and goes totally still... for a longer time than any one can remember the tanned Elf being quiet and stationary... before blinking her large blue eyes open and replying,
"Nope!" (^_^)
"Aye, Aye Captain."
Alistar takes up the bird from the chest after discussion is over.
Well thought captain. The bird very well could be used to scry on us.
Alistar will take the bird to where other items are fenced and see what he can get.

There is no problem finding a shop to buy all of the items you wish to sell. They all fetch the market value, as normal.
M'Bungie shakes his head at Harvey's question.
Nah, da spirits ain't givin' me da answer to ya problem, Dagga. Dis 'anscombe man, 'e dun seem like-a da type ta bein' takin' nah fer da answer, eida. 'e might be a problem, ya? What iffen we be takin' da girl ta a temple what can bring her back from da dead? 'e might not be so mad at ta den, no?
The rest of the night passes uneventfully, after your plans are made, and in the morning you are set for sail. Rickety hands you a bottle of wine to christen your ship with a new name, and had a team of artists set to mount a name plaque as soon as the ritual is done.
Yer ship's done, Dagger, an' ye be needin' ta christen 'er or its bad luck. What's yer name for 'er?
"I be okeys with offerin' shine fer helpin' with tha' lass..." Suny offers, "Though, I dun't be thinkin' we's gon'a get it done here about?"
As for the ship ceremony, Suny is up bright and early to watch the festivities. (^_^)
Alistar returns with a bag of coin.
"a hundred and ninety platinum for the raven sir."
At the launching. Alistar stands at attention waiting on the captain to christen and name the ship. He walks among the crew for a bit before blessing each of them.
Rickety, The name of this ship is being the Howling Wolf
M'Bungie, I like your idea how long would it take for you to grab that corpse and bring her back here? we will drop her off a temple that can restore her to life.
Once the name plate get's put on there and we are off to sail. For several leagues
*************************
Someone get me that Name Plate off the ship NOW!
Once I have the name plate I get M'Bungie. Do you have anything that will get the name completely off this plate? we're changing the name of this ship again we're heading south boy and gals,
Suny will quietly let the Captain know that the bundle of 'personal' booty is already close enough to hand. (^_~)
"As fer tha' matter a makin' said item all hale an' hearty agin? We... might want ta' be makin' more care than lettin' it off at next any old temple..." Suny suggests, showing that the tanned Elf does have some idea of caution....

Noro headed out after the Captain gave the orders. she headed to the tavern as she usually does.
she engages in some drinking contests, maybe embarrasses some men in arm wrestling.
Though she does not make it an obvious deception as to where they are heading, she does let it out "on the down low" that they are sailing North. (as the Captain ordered) but she does not make a grand announcement (not as the Captain ordered.)
At the Christening, Noro simply acts as as body guard. she keeps an eye out for trouble also looks for any potential new crew members. though she does not hire them, she simply takes note of them.
