The
two men stared idly at the ocean as the wind threatened to quench
the
fire burning in their pipes. It had been a long time since
Jerald had been
back to Palanthas, the nearing sights at shore
did not fit his memory. News
of the war had caught his attention,
and he intended to get his plans in
motion right away.

"You'll
need a good dozen men for some of these, " Kulak spoke in a
hush
tone as he eyed the stack of contracts. "Maybe
more."

Jerald nodded in agreement. "Aye, we will. We are
blessed by the war, money
to be made for the men who have
fallen on tough times." 

Jerald leaned back against his chair
and puffed on his pipe as men began
throwing lines to the
Palanthas docks. Times were indeed tough, the economy
had felt
the impact of the war. Thieves and looters grew in numbers daily
as
the Solamnic numbers thinned to move to the front lines. Even
the city
guards were not to be trusted, so they said. A fine
climate for a dishonest
man to make an honest coin.

As they made
their way from the dock they overheard a group of
sailor's
demanding payment of a "docking fee" from the other
passengers. A strong
hand wrenched on Jerald's shoulder, spinning
him around abruptly. 

"Docking fee, sir. You haven't paid, "
smiled the man as he stretched out
his hand. Many forms of
extortion were common practice of the Mariner crews,
they had
expected as much.

Kulak spoke in a harsh tone, "We've paid for
passage, there was no talk of
docking fees. Get on about your
business." 

The two men turned to walk away as the sailor's
hand landed again on
Jerald's shoulder. As he spun he flared his
cloak over the man's face as
Kulak dealt him a quick blow to the
head with the handle of a dagger. The
sailor's body went limp,
crashing to the ground. A small crowd had gathered,
giving Jerald
a perfect time to begin his advertisement. He slipped the
paper
from his pack and rolled it along the wall of the fishing store.
Kulak
quickly pinned it to the wood with a thin dagger from his
belt.
