Kestrell tosses the kid an apple (freshly replenished back at the tavern) and then follows the party aft of the Kraken's Folly, keeping an eye out for danger, and an eye on Selinae in case she stumbles or anything.

" Krakens Folly....ship...this way...uh, maybe...probably should have stayed in bed.", Selinae mumbled as she leaned on a driftwood wall for a moment to steady herself.

"Thank you. Well let us find our way to the pier"

Phaedra keeps and eye out around them and as Selinae steadies herself, she reaches a hand out to help her.

Elon approaches on the other side of Selinae to also help steady her.

As your group continues through the area you see more and more people going about their day. As you round a corner you see a rather large ship sticking up above the shacks. Soon you see that some of the shacks are actually attached to the ship. Once you reach the rear of the ship you see some docks to the south and to the east. In between is one of the better looking buildings in the area. You all approach the door.

For Kestrell and those with passive perception of 15 or higher

Shitty Map:

Not noticing the onlookers Selinae moved slowly toward the door, " I've been in this district a few times....and my heights pretty memorable.  But I'm not known, if you know what I mean."

Kestrell mutters to the rest of the party: "Lot's of people giving us the stink eye.  Be ready."

As they approach the door Kestrell raises his voice and loudly says:

"People of the docks!  I am Kestrell Rangerson!  Purveyer of fine apples, custom brews and delicious cream of the ice!  My colleages and I are having a grand opening of our new tavern.  This weekend, buy one mug of ale, get one free!  Spread the word!"

Elon says quietly to the group "their goes opening night profits"

"And I am not judgemental, but I am not sure that this is the patronage we are after."

Kestrell hisses "We can worry about that if we make it to opening night!"

Silver just sighs as he walks up to the door quickly looking it over in a smooth motion for traps as he reaches for the knob, turning it and opening the door if he doesn't see any indications. Of the two options he would prefer to be uncomfortable inside were at least there were walls.

OOC:

Perception check: 9

Silver, not seeing any traps, opens the door. Inside he sees a female Illuskan human sitting at a table.

"No manners, I see. If you are who I think ye are, come on in. If you're not, scram."

"I would say we are who you think, at least we think thay we are. Let's go in." Phaedra says from behind Silver, looking around her as she motions for everyone to head inside.

Kestrell follows the group inside.

"I like her already" Elon says loudly as he enters with the others.

Selinae ducks under the entrance as she heads in.

Once everyone's inside and the door is closed the lady continues, "As you already know I am Grinda Garloth. Based on the descriptions I was given you all are Phaedra, Selinae, Silver, Elon, and Kestrell," she says pointing at each of you in turn. "Our mutual friend missed his check in this morning so I assume he is either captured or dead. The three he sought are hiding somewhere in the Mistshores and are unable to leave due to all the.... eyes watching for them. But I believe I know how they intend to escape. There is a submersible at the bottom of the bay that someone has been trying to repair for a few days now. It's my thought that once that is repaired, that's going to be their ride out of here. Which means their hideout has bay access. You'll need to find that hideout soon, I don't see it taking long to fix the submersible with how many people they have working on it."

" I'm good at wrecking things.....if anyone has a way for me to get down there. I can swim, but the Bay is deep."

"What kind of magic has created an underwater ship? It sounds like a marvel of Mystra's doing. How big is Mistshores? There seems to be a lot of people outside that are not very... ah... friendly looking"

Kestrell looks confused and seeks to clarify.

"Let's make sure we are talking about the same thing.  Who is our mutual friend?  And the three you speak of, those are the Drow that we are going to find, fix and finish, right?"

"How deep is this submersible ship?  Can we swim down to it?  I don't mind getting wet."
