“I’ll absolutely do all I can to help recruit others.”
Besmaras blessing is indeed a blessed name! Lets see if we can recruit some more crewmembers!
Vikla is pretty enthusiastic.
Well roll a Diplomacy or Bluff check then!
I am going to have a poke, followed by a bath!
Bath? There is a severe drought here so water for bathing is very limited.
Lets try being mostly honest with people on whom my live may depend
Vikla prepares her pitch as she searches for likely crewmates, looking for people who are mostly fit
So, we got a ship, totally fair and legal, I mean, if the previous owners dont fight effectively its our ship now right? We do need some extra crew though, who is up for it?
She starts hitting the bar, and begins to interview likely recruits.
Vilka spends an entire day doing interviews and manages to recruit
You can recruit once per trip/settlement and make up to three tries per trip.

To pass the time, some of Rickety’s off-duty
workers invite you to join in a game of ninepins in the
shade of the boathouse and share a small cask of beer that’s
been cooling in the waters of the estuary.
Laroisael is curious how this game of ninepins is played.

Fine nine pins, I bowl the ball
so is that a strike?
Ringer!
Despite his question, Nuts hesitates for a few minutes. Ultimately, he does not step onto dry land, instead choosing to muck around the ship, finding whatever work makes him seemingly busy. When there is no work to be found, he spills over a bucket, curses loudly, and cleans the mess up. He repeats this four times before figuring out something else.
Ships brought here for refitting are hauled up out of
the river into this dry dock by teams of oxen pulling on
dozens of thick ropes. Once the ship has been seated and
secured in place, workers descend on the ship in a swarm
and work in shifts day and night to complete the “squib”
as quickly as possible in a cacophony of hammering,
chopping, and swearing. Torches mounted all over the
dry dock at night create quite a spectacle for anyone
interested in watching the work.
Laroisael finds herself better at the game than she realized.

Vikla collects rumors about possible special crewmates or anticipated troubles, may as well build some fame while waiting for the squibbing to complete.
However, all she finds is some weird person going on about something called non fungoid tokens, some assassination backed currency that is apparently all the rage in the Abyss.
She would do masterwork transformations for those wanting them, working this magic quite publically and eagerly answering questions about this.
Between that, she sets up 1on1 interviews with crews young and old, in a pretty relaxed atmosphere, trying to find out if anyone has any special skills. You never know when f.e. carving skills, a reasonable singing voice or proficiency in an unusual language would come in handy.
Alas, her efforts while reasonable amount to little, as the crew seems to be uniquly homogenous. Almost as if some dire eldritch power is at play here?

I give you the money for it.
The material component for the spell is magical reagents worth the cost difference between a normal item and the equivalent masterwork item (typically 300 gp for a weapon, 150 gp for armor, or 50 gp for a tool).
For those that accepted the invitation, you arrive at the
boathouse to find a half-dozen of the locals setting up
the game in the shade and another pair pulling on the
rope where the keg of beer has been cooling in the water
overnight. However, the rope jerks suddenly and one man
is pulled into the water with a scream while the woman
has the palms of her hands burned bloody where she was
holding the line. The screams and thrashing in the water
indicate the man who fell into the water 5 feet below is not
alone.
Emma and Laroisael roll init please.
Manny's cauldron rumbles and shudders. Seems he is cooking up something dangerous.
Laroisael is hit with three magic missiles.
Something in the water near the guy that was dragged in cast the spell.
Looks like some sort of big snake from here.
Laroisael gets blasted hard by the magic. She summons her luck and fires an arrow at the creature.

Slender spines and brightly colored frills stretch back from the human-like face of this massive water snake. Every motion of the serpent’s long form sets its brightly patterned scales and glistening fins to flashing like gems in the surf.
Manny runs towards the screaming, not wanting to miss the fun.

Nuts spends his time chilling on the deck, keeping himself busy or sleeping. As he wipes the portside railing for the 87th time, he looks up at the sky, and curses under his breath. "Damn clouds! Bugger off!"
And the clouds respond to him? To come closer? And they sound like Vikla?
"I'm going insane. Or did it happen already? Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?"
He perks up, waiting for other sounds.
Manny keeps running and hopefully will be in range soon because wow he is far away.
