[@Jabber] Well, nobody else has said anything yet, so I'll make a suggestion: the local ship master in Lougetown is in need of some rare item to help fix or otherwise spruce up a particular ship for a very rich client, and is willing to exchange a boat for said item if it's found. Maybe Nose Ring's gang is involved with the theft of that item in some way, since they seem to be a relatively heavy presence around the place.
