"He could have said it in the first place! He was offered to marry Sarah-Bell, not forced. But instead of telling what he felt, he agreed to the wedding and bolted away at the dead of the night.
Sarah-Bell was adamant on giving him a chance to explain and continue the wedding, but look at this."
Maximus open his arms, "You know how much this cost? A lot of platinum coins. Jeff might look good but he is dirt poor. He probably can't even pay this even after working for 10 years. Sarah-Bell may forgive him but the debt he owes does not."

"I thought leaving in the night was a clear indicator that I didn't want this marriage! You literally had to drag me here in handcuffs and even after I explained myself you retaliate. This is not on me Maximus, my pockets may be light but this debt is not on my conscious. Any reasonable person would hold his platinum until a solid union is in place. You never stopped being a gladiator, you don't know how to be free- you just have a different master."
Jeff seems torn at this last bit. He readies an action to fire another arrow if Maximus moves to attack.
"Your fight is done, don't let your life be done over this too. Yield!"
He yells, trying to give the old gladiator a chance.

The combined attacks from Jeff and Sen'ra left Maximus unconscious.
Sarah-Bell comes forward and lifts the fallen gladiator. She began to speak in cold anger,
"In respect of your strength, I'll leave 2 rowboats on this island with 10 rations. However, none of you will board my ship or you'll have to face my crew."
She looks at Jeff with a stern face before ordering the captain to disembark.
Captain Johnny speaks to the group, "Lads, you really pissed 'er off. Nothing personal but if she orders us to shoot ye if we see each other at the open seas, well, a job is a job."
It is now three hours past noon, a few hours after the sailing ship left. From your group's estimation, there is between 8 to 10 miles from the port to this island. A rowboat can hold up to four persons each.

"Thank you all for your help, I will certainly follow and support you in our next endeavors. You've saved me from a lifetime of unhappiness. Thank you for the healing, I thought I was done for when each leg had a javelin in it- but you had my back. I will not forget this day."
Jeff bows at his comrades and looks them each in the eye, shaking their hands one by one.
"The contract is complete and we are free to choose another one. I will follow the majority for what task we choose next. It may seem like exploring this island is a good idea but I may remind us that this is a recently protected island and we may want to be careful where we tread. How long will it take to get back to the main island? Does anybody have a guess? We should collect our gold and pick another note from the list. What do we think? I'm debted to each of you."
Jeff looks in the direction they came and tries to discern how long they would need to get back by row boat.
"Well, I kind of wanted to find that dragon, that would be fun. But I agree, we should get our gold first. Then, who knows? Glad to have you on our team Jeff. Now, enough pleasantries. DRINKS! You can't expect me to go this long with some kind of alcoholic input. I barely made it through the wedding." He boards one of the boats.

Alton nods to Jeff and smiles at the party. "Let us begin the journey back. I am sure that none of us wish to remain here longer then needed. Besides if we return to the main island we may have the time to take on another quest to add more funds to our collective coin purses. Well that and I myself would like to find the comfort of a nice meal and a soft bed this evening." The halfling tells them as he heads to the nearest rowboat to take a seat, his look asking if they are going to follow hismmlead or what.
Jeff, Alton, and Sen'ra occupies one of the rowboats. Each of them has two sturdy and large oars, a thick rope attached to one of its ends used for mooring, and a fixed small compartment containing 5 rations.
Sandral, Rinc, Logum, and Riskah are still thinking on what they'll do for the meantime.

The journey back by row boat will take how long? A short rest?
Journey will take no more than a day. You just can't take a short rest while travelling. The group can split up if some of you want to go ahead while others stay for a while to recuperate.

After Maximus finished explaining, Riskah hits him twice. He seems pissed off and bloodied.

"You're nothing but a bringer of empty promises, a person who can't handle responsibilities and failed to become a man of his word!
Who knows if your friends here will believe your words anymore."
Maximus strikes his spear against his shield.
"No more words! Let your actions show your intentions."
Jeff shoots.

Jeff looks in the direction they came and tries to discern how long they would need to get back by row boat.
Insight: 5
From the size of your rowboat compared to the sailing ship and the speed they can move, it would take a much longer time.
( All characters add another level. )

"Haha thank you for the brief dry spell- let me buy the first round at the inn tonight!"
Jeff boards the boat Alton is on.
Jeff, Alton, and Sen'ra occupies one of the rowboats. Each of them has two sturdy and large oars, a thick rope attached to one of its ends used for mooring, and a fixed small compartment containing 5 rations.
Sandral, Rinc, Logum, and Riskah are still thinking on what they'll do for the meantime.

Journey will take no more than a day. You just can't take a short rest while travelling. The group can split up if some of you want to go ahead while others stay for a while to recuperate.
"Let's go now, I don't want to be here when Maximus wakes up" Rinc advises.
Logum begins walking over to the boats, "I am ready to go now if we're going. Can't say I'm much of a rower, or navigator but I'll do what I can."
