[B]Ray's location [/B]

After they shared a short laugh, and the woman put her frying pan down, she sat in a chair. The curious little girl moved a little closer to Ray in order to get a closer look at the pirate. "A stray pirate without a plan? Well you're a deadman you know? This place is crawling with those filthy pirates. Even with a crew, they practically have an army. You guys don't have a chance. It's been like this for a couple of weeks." The woman sighed and watched as her daughter looked at the weapons he possessed. "Starla, leave him-"

"Mom! If he needs an army, couldn't he break the soldiers out of prison?! That's an entire, huge army! He'd have numbers then! Then they'd all battle, and we could get our homes and our lives back!" The little girl was excited at her little scenario. She ignored what her mother said about leaving him alone and tugged on the scarf that had the StarDusk symbol on it. "The prison isn't too far from here! The king and queen put it towards the edge of the island, to keep them away from the nice town. But then again, this place is pretty nice. No one just steals things and such!" 

Her mother sighed and shook her head. "My apologies for my child. Sometimes when she talks, she just can't stop... What she says is true though, about the prisoners. They were all imprisoned, the soldiers. I'm not asking you to be a hero or anything. It was only an answer to one of the future questions you might ask me. Just trying to clear up the info." The girl's smile faded and she sighed.

"They have my big brother... He didn't do anything, but those evil pirates took him away..."

[B] Kai and Nolan's location [/b]

When the door was forcibly opened, King Richard held onto Queen Natalia as if to protect her. When they were escorted back, the two had gotten a bit bruised by the two pirates by the door. The king had bruises on his face and the queen had red marks on her wrists from when she was grabbed. She had torn her nice red flouncy dress in order to make more running room.

Haru ran into the room first, happy to see they were okay. "You're okay! Splendid! These pirates, they are on our side. They call themselves the StarDusk pirates." They started to say something, but upon seeing Kai both of them stood. Natalia jumped up in delight. "Is it really you? The Leviathan, Kai? My, it has been awhile hasn't it dear?"

"Indeed it has. The last time he was here he was defending the town from pirates. How ironic that he come now." Haru blinked and immediately remembered. 

"Oh! Of course! How could I forget?" The royals looked to Nolan and they smiled. "And who are you? One of Kai's new recruits? I would appreciate the name of both my saviors." Queen Natalia turned her smile to Nolan.

Haru cleared his throat as the Queen wanted to converse with the two pirates. "Pardon me madame, but we need to get you two to a safe place. And there are other pressing matters, like the princess and the army. "

[B] Captain, Luro, Danny, and Marcos [/B]

"Some of them escaped! Luro, Danny, Marcos! After them and to the Coral Pearl. No doubt that's where they're going. If you can intercept them before they get there, it'll be easier to get the ship out of harm's way." The captain went the opposite way of them, to a passage way she noticed Fenn slip through. "I'll catch up to you guys. Be careful!" 

Without another word she ran off. She entrusted the three would listen. They needed to take down as many of those pirates as possible. They were at a disadvantage, and it would only get worse for them if they were surrounded. And if Fenn was dead, the pirates would disengage and leave Waterdeep.

...And they still had to find Kai's flag! 

This went from a simple visit to saving their hides, along with the rest of the island. To think the seven of them would end up getting into trouble with an army of pirates. Ha, the stories she could tell her family when she went for a visit. 

Runali focused on the mission at hand: find Fenn...And that kid Haru talked about. Normally ransoms went with the one in charge, so find Fenn. Find the kid.
