"..."
The look on Colette's face is like a poker player gone bored. She walks toward the door, fully expecting Mishkara on the other side, sword in hand, ready to kill more goblins.

Colette begins healing the Captain. Most of her higher levels spells are wasted, but still has many spells left over. "I wish I had a wand of this stuff! I forgot to buy one while we were at the store!"
"I just felt the aura of a spell. Can someone find out what it was?"
"Well let's go get her." Colette says as she saunters over to Artemis.
And as Colette walks away from the Orphanage, the little children run and cling to her legs, shouting "Don't go! We'll miss you!" To which she responds by saying "Don't worry, children. When I come back to port, I'll visit you all." She then walks away around a corner towards the ship, lights up a cigar, and says "what a lovely bunch of kids." Blows a circle of smoke "They'll make fine Pirates some day."
"What is taking them so long?" Colette says as she works at the Clerical Orders during her charity work.
"Stay under the deck, I'm heading out to the Orphanage. Tell the captain that I'll be back before the nightly drinking." Colette heads to the town's Orphanage and works for charity until the Captain and all come back to the ship.
"Alright. Put the food under the deck, and stay there. Did anyone see you run back here?"
"Yeah, the captain should probably see these. Did you see who put them there?"
"Alright, so I'm going to need you two to take this 100g and buy as many fruit and steaks you can get. We'll need quite a bit, but just locate vendors who sell them for now."
"Good. Now for the serious question... Do you know of any Colette looks around carefully before asking, to make sure if anyone is listening. "government issued supply ships nearby? We did find you on a Navy ship."
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.
"I AIN'T ORDERIN, I'M ASKING POLITELY!!"
"So long as you guys are willing to follow the orders of a Cleric of Besmara, then we'll be fine. We're going to get a few more people for the ship... Which reminds me, CAPTAIN!!" Colette shouts at Jonas before he leaves for the bar. "GET ME CREW!!"
"You two!" Colette says to the two new crew members that she picked up during the last fight. "Who are you and what can you do?"
"We ain't going for days. We're coming back here. No need to pack... But if you want to then be our guest."
"That'd be back at the ship, right? Lemme go get summin before we head back." I need to get Sardines for Salty Pete"
*Snicker* Colette laughs at what the captain said.
"I'll buy you a drink. You always liked your drink."
"How did you get in Shiver's house?!" Colette screams at Artemis.
"Oh, you know... Little of this, little of that. Point is we need a cartographer for our ship. I'll let the Captain tell you more."
Colette looks at the bird and mutters "I'll have to remember that one..." under her breath.
"What is that smell, ya dirty rat?!" Colette shouts as she enters the building. "Don't tell me ya actually picked up that Alchemy stuff!"
"I know a Rat that can help us."
"We're surrounded by Pirates, the flag is called the "Jolly Roger," and you're looking for bones that take their names off of whatever they like. THINK FOR ONCE YA BEARDED GOOF!"
"That's what ya get for being too vague."
"Sounds like a nice fellow." Colette says as she hears the news about Port Royal.
Before getting into town, Colette draws and performs her art as a Harrower and gives the Tower of Dexterity. This Tower provides a +1 to AC for the next 24 hours. Whoever in the crew may gain the bonuses of the Harrowing, but only those within 20 feet may gain the bonuses. Colette heads to a Tavern and begins Gambling, and performing Dances.
"Let's keep running, Captain. No reason in letting everyone here die for no reason."
"Captain, let's ship out. Don't want to get caught in the confusion. We'll come back and see how bad the damages are. I sure hope it won't be too bad." Colette says to Jonas. "And does anyone know what's up with that ship?!" she shouts to the rest of the crew.
Colette will continue to head for the mainland. If I can get back to the ship, then we can get the crew to get us out of here!
"Faster, ya scally-wags!" Colette shouts as she heads away from the explosions and whatnot.
"If we walk out now, no one will blame us."
"Let's stop by a friend's right fast. He might be willing to join us."
"I'm sick of these old pirate stories. I bet he just heard stories of sea monsters and mermaids from some drunk old pirate."
Colette pays for the bird and for the deck of cards.
"Eh. I don't need a bird that bad if it says things like that."
"Sounds more like he's been around too many pirates. Does he swear like one?" Colette asks the vendor.
"I know someone who would love you." Colette says to the bird. "How much will it be for both the bird and the deck of cards?"
"Simply adorable!" Colette says as she takes a puff of her Cigar. "Can we keep it?"
"What kind of bird?" Colette says as she grabs a Deck of Harrow Cards.
"I'd like to buy some of those Harrow cards when available."
"I don't think you understand, captain. These are under priced cards sold with magic attached. This magic can't be something as simple as a Cantrip or Orison. Now I might not be the brightest mage out there, but something tells me that this is a scam of some sort. Track the cards back to small time card-handlers and diviners and bully them into paying to them. It might be nothing, but it could be a fortune if we can figure out what they're doing here. Now captain, I ask you as sincerely as possible that we move on this!"
"Well that's fine and dandy, but what about the cards, captain?!" Colette says frustratingly.
