"The ship is docked right smack in the middle of the harbor." "a nocturnal visit would detract attention..."
Lavinia giggles "How... bestial of you."
aye, Ms Storm. I expect that diplomacy will not do much as far as Vark is concerned. He will attack you if you even attempt to board the ship.
That scoundrel Vark is aboard my ship! He is holed up there with his men... armred to the teeth! I suggest you expect a fight when you arrive.
My parents... were killed in a tragic fire a month ago sense motive DC 15 Spoiler: she is holding something back
"He has seven thugs in his service, and he is a formidable opponent himself."
Lavinia clears her throat and says, "As you may have heard, I recently Inherited my parents' estate. Along with this fine house, unfortunately, came a fine amount of debt owed to the Dawn Council, the harbormaster, and quite a few guildhalls. It seems my parents, for all their success as adventurers, were not as skilled at finance as one might expect. If I'm to get these taxes paid, I'll need to access my family's vault under castle Teraknian." "And thats the problem, you see. The vaults are magically locked-keyed to special signet rings. Both of my parents had these rings, at least, until recently. My mother lost hers a few months ago. She arranged for a replacement, but it won't be done for a few months, too late for me. Which leaves my father's ring. He never wore it-he had a thing about men wearing jewelry. He kept it hidden somewhere on his ship, the Blue Nixie. The problem is that the harbormaster's seized the ship until someone pays for the last 4 months of mooring. I've paid the fines to the man the harbormaster's put in charge of my ship, a brute named Soller Vark. Yet when I went to claim my ship, Vark's men would'nt let me board, claiming that I hadn't yet paid the fines. I spoke to Vark again and he denied ever recieving my payment. My complaints to the harbormaster have fallen on deaf ears - hes a doddeering old fool who trusts his man and won't relent." Vark and his men are up to something on my ship, I know it. What I need is to find out exactly what they're up to. Unfortunately, Vark's not the type to react well to diplomacy or logic. I need someone who speaks his language...which is where you come in. If you can find out what he's using my ship for, or even better, recover the money I paid him, I'll pay you each 200gp once I can access the vault" "any questions?"
