[b][h2][color=889194]Captain Argus Fellborn[/color][/h2][/b]

It didn't take Argus long to determine what this woman most likely was.

[color=889194][i]Judging by her her alchemical apparatus, her choice of clothing, her gaunt fingers, and the fact that she's out here in a forest full of beasts rather than within the safety of the village, she is probably a witch.[/i][/color]

Anyone able to survive out here alone was potentially quite dangerous, and even the vampiric pirate captain found himself a bit uneasy at the sight of this woman.  The safest thing to do would be to avoid her and instead head straight to the village.

However, Argus hadn't gotten where he was by taking the safest option available to him.  Ever since he peeked into that suspicious crate, he had tempered his sense of discretion with an adventurous curiosity.  Ships were meant to leave the safety of the harbor (although Argus had proven several times that not even a harbor is truly safe), and he would not have become a pirate if he had not been willing to take considerable risks.

With that in mind, he slowly strode into the camp, making no effort to conceal himself.  He was prepared for a fight- and for a bite- but his goal was not to make trouble.

[color=889194]"Quite the surprise to find a learned woman like yourself out here away from the warmth of the village,"[/color] he spoke, revealing his presence.  [color=889194]"Forgive the incursion, I an Argus, a ship's captain driven to shore by a band of skeletal sea-dogs.  Judging by your glassware, are you perhaps a traveling apothecary?"[/color]

With his elaborate captain's garb, was no way that he could pass as a humble sailor, or a humble [i]anything[/i] for that matter, so there was no point in lying.
