Tilsu takes the pouch, tying it to his person. "While this has nothing to do with us, I assume we need to do this if we're to get to Neverwinter..." Tilsu sighs, "I don't know if this is your fault or your previous captain's fault, but managing to ensnare others into it, amazing."
"I have been trying every which way to get to Neverwinter with zero progress. Lets see what happens if we head to Bakkuda Isle. It should take about a day to get there.
Roland sighed, but simply nodded at the information. Well, it might not be Neverwinter, but it was still an adventure. Might as well make the most of it and do what they could.
It was then that the captain offered the pouch holding the coin to the group. The farmboy's eyebrows went up as he looked at the others. He wasn't exactly in a rush to be the one to carry a cursed coin, and he hesitated.
"Plus we are out of food and water. We should be able to restock at Sharbreak"says Captain Fray. He looks to Twig "Since your helping you can share the same room with the others."
He opens the door and slams it shut once everyone has gone
(Currently its still night time. Everyone can take a long rest)
Twig looks at the kenku, "I know, that's why I take them! It's doing their previous owners a favor! ...besides how else am i supposed to eat?"
"Neverwinter! We're going to Neverwinter?! I.... don't really know where that is but as long as there's pocket's to pick and food to swipe I guess I'll be fine."
Her finger's twitch when Tilsu takes the pouch, but she makes no move to take it. It is cursed after all. Her attention snaps back to the captain as he pushes them out the door then slams it in their faces.
"I still don't like him."
She looks at Roland and Tilsu, "So uh... My name's Twig. Do you two have names?"
Roland smiled. The elf girl reminded him of one of his younger sisters... he could picture her also getting into trouble by trying to stowaway on a ship.
"Tilsu," He states. He heads to his cot and lays on it. "While I would like to try and make sense of all this, it may be better to try once we can learn more from this island."
A day passes and several times Captain Fray had to throw his weight around to keep the crew in check. Althea had to break up a fight with some sailors and Thib. At sunset Bielrish calls out "Land Ho". The sailors started gaining some hope as they rush to the railings to take a look. It took some careful maneuvering to dock the Favored Clam at Bakkusa Isle.
You see a bustling village and the Captain lowers the gangplank. "May the gods be with you"he whispers before he meets a slouching portmaster waiting for the captain on the docks with a look of impatience.
Currently everyone is standing at the docks. Nearby you hear the sounds of the market, at B, crowded with people buying and selling. There are also throngs of dock workers hauling goods to and from warehouses.
Twig gives Roland and Tilsu a wide smile, "Those are nice names! Well I'll see you when we see land!" With that she heads off to find a place to sleep. Rather than sleeping in the passenger's room, she finds a barrel climbs in and curls up.
(Long rest)
After the captain runs off Twig walks up next to Roland and puts her hands on her hips. She replies to Roland as she scowls off at the captain. "You got that right."
She smiles back up at Roland when he turns to the group. "Can we find some food first? Pleeeeeeeeeeease? I'm STARVING! Besides, we don't even have a clue where to start looking for this sleeping lady." She continues to stare at Roland her big green eyes.
Roland shrugged. "We need to head to The Churning Barrel anyway to find this Delbyn fellow; they might have halfway-decent grub there. I'd enjoy something other than rations, myself."He scanned the area for the most promising-looking route to lead them to the local taverns. (If spotted, he'll head that way.)
"Yay!" Twig exclaims before taking off down the main street. As she runs she keeps an eye out for taverns, specifically one with a Barrel sign over the door.
Twig does not find the Churning Barrel tavern (at A) but she does find several eateries at the markets. Everyone smells the aroma of spices and sizzling meats with vendors selling all kinds of cook meals from barbecues to noodles houses. There are also performers in the streets singing, juggling, and feats of strength such as brick breaking.
Zhernon picked up their things and simply walked off from the captain after taking the gold, watching the crowds move about and feeling a bit on edge about it all. It was certainly a different vibe from where they usually lived and worked but not unpleasant. However, hearing their companions talk about finding the inn and some food they were about to ask a local for directions when Twig took off. They squawked and took off after the kid, "Wait! Danger!" They began running after the girl but also trying to keep a look out for the inn or anything of interest.
Roland found his mouth watering at the smell of the roadside offerings. A growl from his stomach was enough to convince him that the tavern could wait a few minutes.
He purposefully headed to the nearest delicious-smelling stand offering meat on a stick--as long as it wasn't seafood, he didn't really care what sort of meat at this point--and asked for five skewers.
Twig stops as soon as she smells the food. Paying no heed to Zhernon's warning, she tries to blend in with the crowd. Making her way to one of the stands, she maneuvers around the side of the booth attempting to stay out of the shopkeepers sight, she attempts to swipe a meat stick.

Zhernon gave them all a nod and went to find a place to curl up to take their rest, falling asleep easily as they passed the time.
"Tilsu," He states. He heads to his cot and lays on it. "While I would like to try and make sense of all this, it may be better to try once we can learn more from this island."
(( OOC: Roland takes his long rest. ))

Roland blinked as the captain ran off. "Well," he muttered, "not much of a send off."
He then turned to the others. "I guess we'd better be off finding 'She Who Slumps,' or whatever she's called," he said with a cheeky smile.
