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

[color=889194][i]A ship floating since the death of the world...could it be the Swordbill?[/i][/color]  Argus' eyes went wide at the ship's mention.

Unfortunately, if this witch's information was accurate, [i]something[/i] unwelcome was squatting in it.  Even more concerning was just how unsafe the seas had clearly become.  Still, at least he had some understanding of what was going on, and some goals to reach them.  It could take a while, but as long as he stayed fed and played it smart, he should have all the time in the world.

[color=889194]"There are many things which I am presently disappointed with, miss, but your information is not one of them.  This knowledge was worth the price paid,"[/color] he spoke.  Getting his ship back would be a lofty task, but he at least had somewhere to start.

The witch expressed her own in the ship, particularly something that the filthy bilge-rats occupying it possessed.  Judging by her choice of words, she had deduced his own interest in the ship.  It was quite likely that she had deduced- or had been told by that grimoire of hers- that the vampire standing before her was this ship's former captain.  Argus wasn't sure exactly what the witch wanted with the cultists, but if they had a common goal, she could be a useful ally for the present circumstances.

[color=889194]"Aye, further information on this ship could prove useful,"[/color] he replied to her offer to cooperate.  [color=889194]"I have other business to attend to in the meantime, but depending on the work you need, I should be able to make time."[/color]

As a vampire, Argus had all the time in the world to pursue his goals as long as he could find a steady supply of blood.  He wasn't so sure about how much time the witch could afford, though.
