The two Teiflings stand at attention, much more military than anything. One of them speaks, the other just stands at attention.
"I am Dorcha and this is Saig. Saig's mute, but I know his Sign Language. We served together in the Gold Army, but we got lost during a mission and got branded deserters. We were on our way back for trial when you found us. The Golden Rule is harsh on all military punishments, so adding piracy won't hurt any more than it already has."
"We were a pair of scouts in the Army, with secondary skills as mechanics and repairmen. A few minor dings or holes here or there, we can take care of it."
Saig makes a few motions and signs to Dorcha.
"Oh, and Saig wants you to know he's a decent cook too. I should know, he's kept me fed on long trecks across the Dry Sea."

Turning back to the two new recruits, Colette says "How long have yee been sea-bearing folk? Do yee have any family across the seas? How much is yer bounty currently? What specifically do yee have experience with on a ship? How long do yee plan on staying with the ship? Are yee tied to the ship or the captain? Do yee have a problem following the orders of a woman, even if she is a Cleric of Besmara? Do yee follow the codes that Besmara has written?"
She then finishes off her grog and lights up another cigar.

Dorcha speaks up. "In that order, 8 years apiece, our families are either dead or assume we're dead, I have a 1,000 gold bounty for abandonment of my company, and Saig has a 2,000 bounty for abandonment of his company and "poisoning" the captain. He's still alive, they called it attempted murder. We both have experience with general rigging, cannon control, and shipboard combat. Saig is also a decent cook."
Saig and Dorcha do some sign language to each other. "At this point, since we're both outlaws and have no home anymore, we're tied to the lifestyle. Give us the orders, we'll go where you say. And as for the whole woman Cleric of Besmara thing, we don't really know the religion, so we'll need a beginner's course, and orders are orders. We follow the chain of command. Should something change those orders or the chain, we follow our guts."

Dorcha and Saig think for a little bit, but shake their heads. "No, sorry. Last time I heard anything about trade ships or supplies was back when I was with my company a few months ago. Those ships would have sailed a while ago."

The barmaid brings over another bottle of wine and a chicken leg for the baby dragon. "And if I may, sir, are you Captain Jonas Gavigan?"

The barmaid doesn't have malicious intent. She just wants to do something that someone asked her to do.
"Sorry, you match the description I was given. I guess I'll keep looking."
As she walks away, you can see a slip of paper in her back pocket with a seal on it. Perception to find it, and then a Know: Local for what the seal is.

The two Tieflings take the gold and head out to pick up the supplies requested. When they return with the goods, they also have some news.
"Ma'am! We found something!" Saig pulls out from a sack that contains the fruit a few rolls of paper and hands them to Colette. Wanted posters. Dorcha explains, "We found these on our way back. We took them down as fast as we could. We thought you should see."
The posters have pictures of the Captain, Mishkara, Colette, and Artemis, but each one has something kind of off. Mishkara's got tusks like a half-orc, Colette has pointed teeth and is said to have sold her soul to the devil, Artemis has exceptionally long hair and very long ears and nose, and the Captain has an eye patch, missing teeth, and a pair of horns under his hat. It is thought he is a demon.
"I don't know if anyone saw them before we grabbed them, but I think you'll be safe. They don't look like you. You uh....didn't really sell your soul, did you? Anyway, this seal is that of the Golden Navy, specifically Commander Niklaus. I think you'll recognize him as the Half-Orc that commanded the ship we were on."

Artemis is on the way to the main market of the town and happens to find a shop that specializes in ranged weapons and ammo.
While she doesn't find what she was looking for, there are plenty of other arrow kinds available. Ammunition minus the firearms and firearm ammo.

The shop owner Artemis was speaking with knows of an enchanter in town that can do what she's thinking. And he has a coupon for a 10% discount on first time enchantments.
If you want to get your bow enchanted, Flaming is a +1, and you've already got a +1, so it would be a +2 total on your bow, and if you include the coupon, it'll be a total of 7200 gold.

Jonas is able to take the note without her being any the wiser.
I know you are the one that attacked and commandeered the Golden Rule ship formerly known as the Sentinel. Your wanted poster does you no justice.
I have a means to get you under the Golden Rule eye. Meet me out back of the bar tomorrow night. I know you're grounded for a little while.

Mishkara notices that there's an arm wrestling contest at one of the bars. Winner gets free drinks and 1000 gold. Could be fun.

Mishkara is one of several entries. She's place in the lower bracket, but works her way into the semi-finals easily.
Her opponent is a Man, definitely works out. When he gets to the stand, he chuckles. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Too much!"
Him: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Mishkara throws him to the dirt. The crowd cheers. She's getting good.
Her next opponent is a Half-Orc. "This will be entertaining. Good luck.
Him: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Mishkara manages to beat him, just barely. He shows his respect.
Mishkara's last opponent looks like he's made of rock. And he knows it. "Let's get this over with."
Mishkara knows she will need every ounce of strength, and goes into a rage just before the bell rings.
Him: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
She's done it! Mishkara has won the tournament! 1st prize was 1000 gold and free drinks at the bar for the rest of the day.

Capt. Jonas remembers that there is a map with the ship's course charted out on it. Hopefully, it will leave him in the direction of this other dragon egg.
There is also that scroll with the map on it to lead you to the ship itself.
