All in all the performance went exceptionally well. They sang with such skill, that the halflings were unable to compete and left to sing elsewhere. By the end of the song, the entire tavern's attention had been captivated by the shanty and the story it told. No doubt, by the end of the week, Talogan Malgrogar and the Pirates of Maglubiyet's Kraken would have bolstered their fearsome reputation a little with this tune. Already it had increased their treasury by 5 gold pieces and covered their tab for drinks at the bar.

When night came and the guards made their rounds, Talogan knew it was time to retire for the night. As he finished the last of his pipe and rum, Talogan pondered where he would stay the night. At first he considered getting a bed at the tavern. It was closer, and it offered a more comfortable bed that the one in the captain's quarter's. But ultimately, Talogan decided to sleep in his ship. It was free, he found his sleeping arrangements on the Kraken more than enough in terms of comfort, and he needed to write down the shanty before he forgot how it went. And so, after bidding those who decided to remain a good night, Talogan led the way back to the ship.
