Tucci moves up the stairs and watches over either MacLaren or Veronica as they open the door. Kasin trails behind on the top step burdened by his load.
Tucci also keeps a half an ear on the rear, worried for others who might join them.

Tucci needs to tie the woman down, so I figure he's downstairs another few rounds to make that happen. Once that is done, he and Kasin will make their way upstairs though. No searching though, we seem to be in a hurry.
Tucci starts by lashing their prisoner onto Kasin for a swift departure if need be. Then he'll spend the next few rounds binding the wounds of those still breathing. No need to kill everyone they meet after all. vs DC 15
If there's time, and if they haven't succumbed to their injuries, he tries the two he failed again. vs DC 15
Kasin waits patiently shifting his weight from paw to paw under the weight of their prisoner.

Kasin moves up and readies an attack should any guards move next to him.
Tucci swiftly enhances himself becoming more bearlike and more dextrous. Then he moves up and readies a swing (cover noted, but there might be none).
Tucci waits to see how Veronica proceeds before plunging ahead and gumming up the hallway.
Tucci figures they’re here for information, and he’s happy to pay for it - if only to avoid bloodshed (which might be unavoidable - but you never know). ”Well…” he begins slowly, ”We’re here for information, and are happy to buy it.” He considers mentioning the Chellish invasion to either force conflict, or lower the price, but decides against it. Better keep that info close to the chest like the captain said. He considers a moment before proceeding - unsure if he’s on the right track. ”We know you had Haddon Pike, Roweena Kellet, and Corlan killed. Unfortunately we had questions for them which their, ah, untimely deaths precluded. Now, we’re not going to hold that against you. But we still have our questions, and hope perhaps, for a price, like I said, you’d be willing to answer a few of your own.” ”Why did you have them killed? Who were they working for that you hate so much as to kill?” (heroism) He plunks down a pouch of platinum (100gp worth) as a sweetener - just to open negotiation and to show he's serious.

Sorry - vacation brain. I totally forgot the sense motive. vs DC 15
He doesn't like to give up loot, but he nods along with MacLaren's suggestions. They make good sense, and it's a reasonable investment. That and he's a good assassin - not the sort of fellow you want pissed at you, or hunting you. He looks to the captain for final approval and wonders what they'll learn.
During the day and a half trip, Tucci will finish his wand of Read Weather. He doubts it’ll be much good in the long run, but it’s cheap, and might help easing in and out of port. He plans to use it prior to every departure, to aid in their journies. The next day, he’ll try again to study the ledger. At the very least he gives himself a spiritual boost, and requests a little heroism from Eric. Likely there are other benefits pouring forth as well, but we’ll start with those.
He’ll also be on hand when the captain and MacLaren question their prisoner, but he keeps his trap shut so as not to reveal more than they learn - which is his habit. He'll surely blather something once the questioning begins...
Tucci trusses the assassin with his own silk rope, and lowers him down to the ground. He'll put him on Kasin to carry to the ships boat once they're done with the area. "Yeah, questioning him on the ship is a good idea. He'll be quite isolated - and likely fear we'll assign him a bunk and a job!" he chuckles as he walks back to the Charm behind Kasin.
Tucci gives Roweena's house a once over, to see if there's anything the guards might have missed. vs DC 30 He quietly pockets the ledger, worried there may be other eyes about. When they're back on the ship, or somewhere private, he'll reveal it to the officers and see if he can identify what it means. vs DC 20 "Captain, I found this ledger in Roweena's home. See here is a list of the pirates of the Shackles, the big ones at least and a line of numbers. I dunno yet what it means captain, but with a little focus, along with spiritual and magical aid of course, I think I can figure it out."
Tucci searches the body, and strips it of magical armor, and other worthwhile gear. "Yeah, I doubt he'll talk usefully. We should leave the note in case the authorities find him first so they know he's the one killing folk." When he's done, he nods, agreeing with Mac, "Let's search these houses next. Then the apothecary. I figure this 'Z' will be obvious when we get there." He thinks about the people in this area, and wonders if anyone he's heard of has a name starting with 'Z'.
"Anyone need or just want, this spyglass? We had a spare which I put in the crow's nest. MacLaren, you want it?" Tucci will search the place they're in now to start while Kasin guards the door of the other building with Eric until they have time to get there.

Tucci looks at the documents, "Even at my best, with aid, and magics, I can't hope to decipher this. Do we know anyone who might be helpful? It's a mystery!"
He grabs the helm in the meantime and does his captains bidding, readying the ship to sail around to the tengu.
(heroism) vs DC 10
When the group is ready to leave, Tucci will do so by way of the rocky outcropping for a quick glance.
Just in case,
Tucci excitedly shares what he learns. Except the historical bits. He never was very good at school - his mind kept wandering to the next shiny bauble. He'll fish out the bag with the hook on his pike, if no better tool presents itself. He doesn't want to get bitten.
"Yeah, I'd rather not leave hoisting a corpse, but if you can talk to the dead (cool!) we should see what he has to say." Tucci grins. "You, Eric, and the captain can dimension door with the corpse." (Not a creature for dimension door as long as someone can carry the, ah, dead weight.) "Me and Kasin can mosey back to the ships boat."
Tucci nods in agreement. He tries to look nonchalant as he stands in the way of Eric and any nearby watchers. He touches the man as he works... Tucci touches Eric, providing him with +2 to attacks, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws (sacred) until the start of Tucci’s next round.
Tucci flops back in the saddle, and moves back by the door - staying in full view of the neighbors. He leans in close to Mac and Veronica, "He's dead - riddled with crossbow bolts and submerged in a fish tank. He's not getting up again." He'd worry about being accused of being the killers, but they don't use crossbows.
Tucci, astride Kasin, rides around the ‘cottage’. When he sees the open window, he stands on Kasin’s back and peers within. (heroism)
"Do we want to wait until this afternoon and catch up with him in the bar? If the charm doesn't work, we get him drunk, with apologies," he nods to Brother MacLaren, "And see what we can learn that way." He says it casually though, confident that Mac's charms will function as they should. He's a powerful caster after all - Tucci has seen it for himself! He's fine just walking over, so as not to draw too much attention to themselves... and he has no way to fly as yet - without help of course.
Tucci figures they've learned what they can, but he waits to see if Veronica has any further questions. The man is quite the gossip! Oh wait! "Oh, wait! Where does Pike do his drinking? Where can we find him?"
Tucci nods along with his captain, Great questions! he thinks, and nearly blurts out loud. He'll add, "Also, what can you tell us about Corlan, the sidekick? Is he tough, if stupid?"
Tucci watches MacLaren storm off, and wonders what to do. He wouldn't go on board a random ship on the oath of one man, but he understands the offense Mac feels. Still, he stays with his captain, not wanting to leave her alone with the half-elf - though he looks harmless enough. "So Pike's the spy huh? Cool! Does he work with anyone around here more than usual? Like maybe a handler?" He asks the question, though he's fingering the scrimshaw ship. Nice work! He wonders what he could make out of it... "Oh!" He thinks out loud, "Where is the Master of Gales? Why do you think they're connected?"
Tucci forks over the 16gp and, smiling, takes the kraken token. "This is very nice work." he says as he puts it around his neck.
Tucci shrugs, disbelieving that anyone would give up a chance at food. After all, they have a very fine chef! He eyes the man's wares.
He picks out a particularly nice piece - something he might wear around his neck - and asks what it goes for, in the current market.
Tucci's a little surprised by the offer to meet on the ship, but sure, it would be more convenient. "We'll even throw in lunch!" he offers to sweeten the deal. (heroism) vs DC 10 to aid providing +4

Let me know if you want anything else,” he grins. That day, Tucci totally offers his rod to Eric for an extended heroism. ”Thanks Eric!” he also drinks the draught Veronica offers, getting Kasin to slop it up as well, though the rodent doesn’t like it as much. He’ll cast Magic Fang Greater on Kasin. He’ll use his rod of extend for a casting of Shared Training . He considers other spells, but holds off for now as he joins the officers to the tavern.
Tucci loves the idea of vampiric touch on his armor and immediately plunks down the extra 1,000gp to make it happen. "Money well spent captain, thanks for the idea!" He'll also collect what's needed for the wand crafting, though he won't be able to start it until they depart. When he receives the runestone from Veronica, he bestows it on Eric. "I figure this way you can give me the heroism, and maybe pick up some other spell too - for the fun of it!" he grins.
Tucci, not being very good at telling stories (he tends to jump to the end in his excitement) tries instead to sell plunder and tries to obtain a few crew members during the week. vs DC 20 for no crew
Tucci approaches his captain as he doles out the wealth. ”Say, Veronica, could you make something for me? I want a Runestone of Power (2nd) (8,000gp) to give to Eric. I’ll get heroism like you guys, and he’ll get a little spell flexibility. Seems a fair trade - if you can make it for me.” He gives her the 4kgp if she agrees to the commission. Additionally he’ll buy a few things from the locals if he can.

When MacLaren says they're going to sell plunder and stay in port a day or two - Tucci cheers. "All right!" he says excitedly thinking of all the things he needs.
If no one says no, Tucci will take the mithral jewel encrusted dagger. He uses a dagger as a backup weapon, and this one sparkles!
Tucci nods, but waits for his captain to reply before departing.
Tucci nestles into the comfortable chair and listens to the priests fine story. He'll add that their captain rallied, and was involved in the slaying of the opposing captain, in case that wasn't clear. Still, he murmurs, "Good telling MacLaren!" He watches the Calistrians, and measures their response, in as much as he can anyway.
"Sure, that's fine. We should be careful before letting the crew run off. But they deserve a break too - hopefully we can give it to them." Tucci follows along.
Tucci helps MacLaren bury the dead at sea. The others seem to find all that is there to be found, and he's pleased. A bit of plunder, a few items for the officers, and they can complete their task with the Calistrians. "A job well done and that's a fact!" he cries gladly. He agrees with the Captains orders. Once the loot is loaded, Tucci makes haste for Quent. (navigating)

He’ll hold off on healing for now, expecting MacLaren to have a thing or two to say about that before he needs to drain the last of his spells, or start on the wand.

If there are still sailors in the water, he’ll use his new found rope of climbing to help save them.
Frustrated by how stuck they are, he takes his time and tries again (though if we're still in rounds, this likely happens later).
