Ilvisar scowls at the two, brandishing his fists, "You little shits. No honor between the two of you. Fine, what deposit do you choose? My right fist, or my left fist?"
Ilvisar- Jenkins and Leroy begin to laugh pretending to salute each other “Sailor’s Honor” they say together. “Look it’s just a deposit, a spot holder. What if someone else needs a ride out but we say no, then you turn ‘round and change your mind. Then we are shit out of luck. You’ll get your money back once on board.” They grin at each other and glare back At Ilvisar.
Xil- you begin to gear a cackling laugh in the back of your head.
Hallie - you and Stone head back upstairs. Busting down the locked door into an office. You find some business ledgers, tossed about papers, fine ink, at a first glance. A dust covered desk matching two bookshelves. A fine rug lay in the center of the room.
Ilvisar scowls at the two, "Sure. Here's a gold piece each. Now as ship's healer, my fee to agree to treat honor-less twits like you two is a gold each. Pay up now, or hope you don't get crotch rot from the whores you can afford or end up with broken bones extorting fellow sailors. If you don't pay now and you come to me begging for my help, the fee doubles when we're at sea. And of course, my services are free to crew with a lick of honor." Ilvisar holds out 2 gold in one hand, and his other hand is also held out and empty.
"We might find some evidence of if the rumors of the other houses' dealings were true. Perhaps Drake had a hand in pitting them against each other." I move to the desk picking up the ledgers and assorted papers and do a quick scan of them. Just to get an idea of what they contain or if anything seems out of place or missing. Then I pack them up neatly to look over later. looking closer at the book shelves to see if there are more records or books there.
Xil - the voice echoes back, “Go on, make ‘em dance! Mwahahaha!”
Ilvisar- (That’s most definitely an intimidation) Jenkins and Leroy don’t let up their glare. “What’s it to you mate? You coming to us askin for favors and we follow our captains orders. It’s not like you’re out of money, you get it back. Shit, you could’ve offered us an ale o’ two and we would’ve been fine. Listen to your friend here. Ease up, you’ll have a better time.” The two aren’t backing down from the threats.
Hallie- scanning the ledgers most are filled with addresses and amounts for each location. Some positive, some negative. A lot of houses have a secondary number, much smaller than normal taxes and estate prices. It will take either more ledgers and/or more time to get a sense of it all. No more ledgers, just a small portrait of a young girl. Blond hair and green eyes. Rosy cheeks, must be about 15 - 16 in the photo.
Ilvisar turns to Xil, "Strong, skilled and willing deck hands are worth their weight in gold. Someone like me that can keep the crew healthy, keep the ship in good repairs and pray to Umberlee on the ship's behalf is priceless. These greedy bastards don't know when they've struck gold and just threw it out with the bilge water. Lets go. The gang can find another kind of exit strategy."
What was once a normal scene in a tavern that could be the same scene in every other tavern across the forgotten realms. Drinking, stories being swapped, games being played, songs being sung, scars being compared; now has a bear erupting in the middle of it. As Xil’s form Expands into bear form. Tables are pushed aside and flipped over. Ale glasses fall onto the floor shattering. Commotion begins to Rumble from the patrons. The face of Jenkins and Leroy go white... a shout is heard from the back of the tavern “Oi, there is a ******* bear at the docks!” The drunks who were having a dice game in the corner begin to fight, before you know it. A brawl begins.
Xil the bear puts his hands up like a old timey boxer and motions his head at Ilv as if he were trying to say get them to accept our pass for free now.

Ilvisar looks at the bear and back to Leroy and Jenkins, "He told me earlier he has issues when he feels insulted or gets angry. He said I'd know when it happens. Pretty sure this is it. If there's anything left, I'll try to heal you up. Sorry, but better you two than me."
Jenkins and Leroy look at each other and then back to you two. The look of fear turns into uneasy laughter, which turns into a full hearty chuckles. “Alright you two! You name it, you got it. Whatever ya need the Sea Emerald is at your service!” They give you a slap on the shoulder before starting into the fray. Rushing straight into the group of fisticuffs fighters. You hear LEEEERRRROOOYYJEEEENNNNNNNKKKINNNNSS!” (Sorry)
Turning around being successful thus far, you stand in the middle of a chaotic bar brawl. Generally people are staying away from the bear.

”Not much down here. Let’s head upstair.” I look for an office area or somewhere there might be records kept.
Ilvisar scowls at the two, brandishing his fists, "You little shits. No honor between the two of you. Fine, what deposit do you choose? My right fist, or my left fist?"

(I guess that would be persuasion: 11)
Does Xil recognize the laugh?
Xil puts a hand on Ilvisar's shoulder and whispers, "It's not worth it. We need passage out."

Xil attempts to speak with the voice in his head.
"what do you want now? I'm doing my best to help these people. What do you want of me Hlal?"

'Okay.' Xil says to the voice.
"I think you boys ought to change your mind..." Xil then wild shapes into a Brown Bear
intimidation: 18 advantage if being a brown bear counts for that? 14

Xil and Ilvisar, What would you like to do?
Xil the bear puts his hands up like a old timey boxer and motions his head at Ilv as if he were trying to say get them to accept our pass for free now.

(I never knew a Druid could be this fun lol)
Bear Xils (my turn for a bad joke) starts pointing to the door to suggest they leave now.

Ilvisar stays close to Bear Xils and points to the door, then whispers, "When we're outside, you might want to switch back?"
