Most of your men, including Tayang, were chatting around the table being merry when you returned with the bounty. When they looked at you most recognized your look. That religious fervor that most knew to respect and/or fear. Most of them sobered up, even Hector who was face deep in bosom, dismissing his woman to talk business with you. The first to speak of was Oliver. “Shipwreck huh? So we gotta go south but this bounty don’t even have a map. We just suppose to walk along the coast, or what if it’s already in the ocean?”

It was Johnathan who had potential insight about the ships location. “Aye, remember Red Shard is build into a cliff. Down south is even steeper cliffs which’ll block northern winds, and a bunch of rocks below. Wouldn’t surprise me one wit if some greenhorn sailors ended up losing control of their ship, crashed into the rocks by wind and waves.” Tayang nods at Johnathan’s words. “Aye. When we spotted land there were some cliffs off to the south. But if that’s were the wreck is, no way we can risk bringing the Kraken near those stones, else what we’ll join those sods in an ocean grave. And hells know how tall those cliffs are.”

“What if we took smaller boats?” Hector chimes in. “Spotted a couple of small boats in the docks, not like anyone is using them. We take maybe two or three, just enough to get a couple of us near the shipwreck. We can control smaller boats easy in rougher waters and if all works well, we just row the boats back to the Kraken with our loot.” The Kraken did lack smaller boats, so the possibility of plundering a few from the docks could provide an option to reach the shipwreck by sea without risking the Kraken. If you wanted to risk stealing anything while in Red Shard. “Maybe Nyx might have a spell that’ll help?” Kulee suggested.
