Misha laughs teasingly at Kali's horrible aim, making sure to have her eat her words later on. But she stopped laughing when Sanbalet raised his hands and cast a spell.
Sloop, stuck up in the crows nest on guard duty, is interrupted by a loudly grumbling stomach. Calling down “Hey Chandor and Sana...you guys hungry? Where’d Chef disappear off to? Send me up some lunch! I’m about ready to eat my own tail up here.”
With Misha's last swing, Sanbalet's head exploded in a mighty wet mess, his body falling back, dead.
"Oh, my goodness." Misha said, a smirk on her face, obviously being sarcastic. "I am so sorry about hammer, evil cult leader! That looked like eet hurt. Are you ok?" Then she got momentarily got serious. "You have been judged by Bane. Guilty."
Wolf, happy to not see anymore cultists, says “Okay. Looks like it’s looting and getting out of here time. Plus if we don’t hurry all the good ales will be gone.”
"I told them business was booming."Carrhae will search for anything valuable, as well as anything that gives them any more information. Regardless of what she finds, her response is the same. "Well, I suppose that we should be heading back to the Belle now. Just for a quick update and letting them know that we all survived. Then we can go get pedicures and drinks."

The caverns appear to be a storage facility for stolen goods. There are five bolts of silk and eight casks of brandy among the smuggled goods. Sanbalet carried a pipe of remembrance and a set of masterfully crafted loaded gaming dice. The hobgoblin wears a suit of mariner’s armor (scale mail). There's about 200g laying about in the caverns in lockboxes.
THE CAVE
The passage leads into a cave that opens directly to the sea. The tide is out at present, and there is little water in the cave, but there is an obvious high-water mark three feet above the floor. Pulled up onto the sloping cave floor is a small boat, perhaps large enough for eight people, with oars, a step-down mast, and a neatly furled sail. A rope tied to the bow is being held down by a large boulder that serves as an anchor.
THE SHIP
Off in the distance is what appears to be a large sailing vessel slowly coming towards the cave.
"Pedicure weel hef to wait, Kapitan. Eet would appear that we are not exactly done yet keeling cultists." She points to the horizon. "Look. Een the deestance. They are smuggling goods from thees cave to the sheep."
The Suel Imperium appears to be smuggling goods from Saltmarsh to a unknown sailing vessel off the coast. At this current moment in time, the ship is holding course off the coast. You report back to the Belle and decide to engage the ship in the morning. Misha will stay awake and keep tracking of the ship with the far sights.
When morning comes around, prepare yourself for some naval combat. Our objective is to engage the ship, damage it enough to board it, and take out the cultists. Learning clues about their operation and intention will also be a hot topic.
Carrhae returns to the Belle to see it slightly burned and marked with graffiti and her crew on watch. When she is filled in on what happens, she thanks the crew of the Belle. "I am truly blessed to have such a capable and loyal crew. We found these in the caves and I'd say that you have more than earned them." She gives out 20 gold to each of the crew onboard, as well as the Mariner's Armor and the spellbook to anyone who is skilled in the arcane. "Now rest up, because tomorrow we're going to make them pay for messing with the Belle of the Sea. Misha, I'd like you to repair the burned areas, if you can and Sloop, I'd like you to clean this off the ship at once. Sana, make sure that the cannons are ready before we go into battle tomorrow. Having dispensed with the orders, Carrhae retires to get ready for tomorrow's battle.

"Yes sir, Captain!" Sana says with a grin, racing off to check the guns. Despite the fact that the crew's return cut off her conversation with Chandor, she gives him a look that tells him she isn't done with him yet.
Carrhae knocks on Kali's door, with two pipes in hand. Carrhae is out of her armor, wearing a tight silver top, white trousers, and her sandals. "I figured that since I found this new pipe in the cavern, I could give this one back to you. Do you want to break in the new one with me? Not much, just enough to take the edge off."

Upon returning Wolf asks if a cask of the brandy be remained out and will tap it if it is. Upon not seeing Indigo as well and being unable to find her Wolf inform the Captain of her disappearance and volunteers to cook meals from now on as long as he still gets to go out and drink. Agreement made Wolf goes about making dinner, which, on such short notice, is nothing special today. He is able to slap together several hamburgers and some blood sausages from the meat on board. He also bakes a set of fruit pastries, all of which have oranges in them to prevent scurvy. The crown of the meal though is the brandy they brought back. A nice smooth and strong drink Wolf makes sure everyone has some to celebrate a day well done and the promise of victory tomorrow.
Once the away team returns, Erriviel gathers all the members of the crew together for a brief meeting.
"As some of you know, the Suel Imperium attempted to set our ship ablaze earlier today. Therefore, I am organizing the crew and most of the officers into a watch. Sana and Sloop, you will take first watch. In two hours, wake Syltra and Wolf for the second. Grishkar and Chandor will take the third watch, and Sloop and I will take the last. Make sure to keep one person at either end of the ship and make sure you have something on hand to signal the other subtly. Rotate positions one hour in, and stay sharp."
Sloop, after receiving Erriviel’s orders, quietly (but urgently) takes his superior officer aside and lets him know of the Captain’s conflicting order to go clean the graffiti off the side of the boat “at once”.
Syltra hauls however much silk and brandy the other members of the team can’t handle to the boat, happily humming while she works.
“Suppose we have this silk made into finery for the crew, Cap’n?” Syltra asks Carrhae. “We would fit right in with any high society shindig. Wouldn’t be good for fighting in, of course.”
Upon returning back to the Belle, washing off the blood that had stained her skin and clothing and then feasting down on what Wolf had to make for the crew on such a short notice along with finishing up with Erriviel's gathering, Kali retired to her chambers with a feeling of content. We were able to find out what was going on with that house, and we plan on making a move of sorts in the morning, she notes down on a parchment sheet, planning to get herself a journal to properly notate certain events going on. Mainly, it was to keep track of her injections, when she took them and their effects on her body, if they had any. Nothing seems to be an issue. Control has been kept, but tomorrow may make some blood boil. Just as she was about to scratch down another note there was a knocking on her door, the hybrid lifting her head to give a listen to the captains request.
"One second," She calls out to Carrhae, picking up the papers from her table and putting them away in a cabinet drawer along with her quill and ink before opening the door and letting the blonde inside. She takes her original pipe and sets it down on the table. "Thank you kindly for returnin' it to me. As for a smoke, how could I ever say no to the captain?" She gives a small smirk and takes out a matchbox. "You wanna do the honors?"

"Aye, Kapitan." Misha said proudly, and set off to her room to bathe, and wear her off duty work uniform. She then listened to Erriviels report, letting him know that she would remain awake the whole night to help with the watch.
She went into her room and detached from her armor. She bathed off grime and blood of battle, she put on her black half shirt, gloves, and work pants and went down below to fox the damage the Suel Imperium caused in the fire. She found some time during the night to work with Wolf and make an effort to repair.
Damage Control: 13 HP fixed: 7

At least the markings were gone, but the damage caused by the fire was extensive, and while new wood was placed, I didn't have the same structural integrity as before. A bit frustrated, she decided to try again in the morning. As the evening wore on before the shifts started, she practiced with the tools and got more pieces of wood ready. This was going to take some practice.
Sweaty and hungry, she decided to clean up and have dinner. As she passed by her room, she stopped by Indigo's old quarters and stared into it for a little bit, and became sad. She lowered her head a bit and said nothing, hoping that wherever the little turtle with the oversized cooking utensils was, that everything in her life would be ok, and knew that Misha was thinking about her.
She walked to the top of the deck and looked into the far glass. The cultist ship was still there. In the morning, she would continue Bane's Justice and earn more honor and glory. She made sure the anchor was operational, and walked by the cannons and smiled at Sana as she patted them lovingly.

"Very well then. We will have to return to the Belle and let them know that it's time to break those cannons in."
Carrhae also takes the gold and splits it between the five of them. Then she takes the pipe of remembrance. "Now I can give you your pipe back, Kali."
