Dahlia picks up an armful of baskets and brings them to the cart, smiling at Janey. "That was delicious, thank you! I bet you get folks coming here all the time just for those."
Charisma at the fire strikes up a conversation. The mate replies "Nah, the boys will take care of me. I wouldn't miss Janeys rolls for nothin'" He says with a chuckle. You do now see that the other two who were at the fire are at the bar now buying several bundles. "To answer you're question though, we may be here for a while. We dropped off a load this morning, but now Cap'n says we have to stay docked. Something about the Floren fleet making a blockade. No good for us. If were not delivering goods we don't get paid but..." He shrugs. "Orders"
Dahlia helps Janey with some baskets and get's eyed suspiciously "If Luke sent you to sweet talk the recipe out me it's not gonna work"
Dahlia snorts, "Yeah right, even with a recipe it would end up a burnt lump of clay. You don't want me anywhere near a kitchen." She waves a hand towards those near the fire. "I'm not with those guys, just met Luke waiting on breakfast. I mean... he's kinda cute but not my type. If you get what I mean," she says, looking at Janey with a smile and a wink.
"I really did just want to thank you for the delicious pastry."
Dahlia continues helping with the empty baskets and starts telling a story. "You know, I met this ship's Captain one time, real notorious guy. Just so happens he was a glutton for patisseries. I heard he'd go all over to find the best ones and pay good money for 'em too. You think he ever came here for your cinnamon roll?"
Janey chuckles at Dahlia. "Oh, then, thank you! Didn't mean any offense but Luke has tried just about everything to get that recipe from me. He once even a had a friend of his start convulsing and claimed he must be allergic to something in them." She shakes her head "Said he'd have to know each ingredient to know how to heal him... buffoon!"
In response to Dahlia's story Janey replies "It could be so. I did fill an order for a dozen not long ago, maybe a week. It's not something I usually do but he offered to pay double. He didn't look like a noble, coulda been a ships captain. I didn't ask. Coin is coin" she says with a shrug.
At the fire the mate just shrugs "Oh, some story about Guilder wanting a war or plotting to kidnap the Princess, or some such nonsense." He glances to see who's in earshot "If you ask me it's just Humperdink flexing his muscles. Got his wedding coming up so he's just showing off"
Edith nods "That's likely." Then looking up from the fire, she asks curiously, "Have you got any more interesting news? I love a good tale, tall or not."

While listening to Edith and the mate talk, Mystwaen looks over to the mate who she identified earlier, wondering if he would know anything about this blockade rumor.
"You got that right!" Dahlia responds to Janey's assertion that coin is coin. "Ah well, it makes for a good story to tell down the road anyways, thanks."
When it looks like they're done, she asks, "If you don't have anything else you need help with, my girls and I are going to go find a hot bath and a place to rest our heads for a few before setting off again." Dahlia smiles brightly and rests a hand on the other woman's arm, giving it a light squeeze. "It was great getting a chance to talk to someone new for a while, maybe I'll be back some time for another of those delicious pastries."

(Got a few things going on so I'm going to break it up by person)
Edith: (I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for with something broken or torn? There is a pile of scrap and driftwood next to the fire)
He replies "Oh, I've got plenty of tales and would love to share them some time" He says with a wink "Meaning no offense but we don't see many Tiefling out this way, but I'm afraid I've got to get back to my ship." He shrugs a bit. "We may not be going anywhere but there's always something to scrub, clean or polish. Got to make sure the lads keep busy or they gets themselves into trouble"
Mystwaen: Observing the conversation with the mate (it's the same person you identified earlier. Aside from the two sleeping/passed out guys he's the only one left at the fire) He seems on the level to you. As far as you can tell he believes what he's saying and isn't trying to be deceptive.
Dahlia: Janey returns your smile. "Well, there's no safer place for a group of young ladies than the room I rent out. It's clean, safe and you'd have privacy in the bath house." She get's a sly grin "Nobody around here would dare be caught creeping around my house!" She takes a moment to consider something and says "I could let you have it for 20 gold a night. That'd include breakfast, dinner and all the hot water you want"
Charisma licks the last bit of icing sweetness from her fingers, stands up and wipes the few crumbs that escaped her ravenous bites from her cloak. "What do you say, ladies? Are we ready to call it a night?" She turns toward Dahlia, who has obviously fallen in well with Jamey. "Maybe our friend has had some more luck than we have with getting a lead on our captain..or at the very least procuring us some warm beds and a place to wash this salty sea water off our skin"
(Right! sorry I wasn't very specific was I XD Torn cloth or net and broken crates that sort of thing.)
"None taken, I don't see many teiflings on the sea myself," Edith replies with a smile. "Maybe I can catch a story over breakfast some other day," Edith chuckles at his statement about his crew.
(Gotcha, yes, aside from the burn pile there's some flotsam on the beach. Some pieces of netting stuck in the rocks, a broken buoy and the obligatory lobster (or crab) trap half buried in the sand.)
"Oh you're a lifesaver!" Dahlia coos. "That sounds like heaven." She looks over at her crewmates doing various things and turns back to Janey. "Let me go gather them up and we'll be right back to you."
Dahlia then goes over to the other three by the fire and tells them of Janey's offer of a room with a bath and a meal, nodding her head back towards the other woman.
Edith you're able to get the section of netting untangled. It looks like it's a piece of a larger net as the edges are all ragged. It's about 10'x10' once it's untangled.
"Sure honey, gather up your friends. I'll be right here" Janey says with a smile.
By this time there's several sailors and fisherfolk coming off the docks and lining up at the bar for breakfast. Some other fisherfolk are coming from the residential area and making their way out to the docks to prepare their boats for a day of fishing. No one pays you any mind except a couple cat calls.
The group all meets at Janey's cart and everyone makes introductions as she leads you all and her mule drawn cart through the residential section. You're all traveling on a dirt road that you can see get's daily use. You pass by some larger houses near the coast and see the houses get more modest as you travel inland. As you all walk a few people wave or call out to Janey. "You promised Myrtl that loaf of rye this week." "Hey, did you finally get some assistants?"
At one point she stops briefly hailing someone over. A short, portly man with a huge gut, wide shoulders and thick hairy forearms lifts a huge hand in hello. "What's up Janey?" Janey runs a hand through her hair "Hi there Peter. Got some new folks renting the room." She gestures to you all with her head. "Think you could bring an extra delivery tonight?" Peter gives you all the once over then nods "Sure thing Janey. I'll see you tonight!"
As Peter walks off you see Janey watches him for a second then lets out a little sigh and continues walking "That's Peter. He keeps me in fish and I keep him in baked goods. Sometimes he brings crabs or shrimps or oysters too."
Shortly after you arrive at a modest 2 story house with a fenced in yard. Janey motions to a gate and asks if you could open it for her. "Once you open it though, keep out the way. MIlo here will be itchin for his oats and I don't want you to get runover"
Dahlia picks up an armful of baskets and brings them to the cart, smiling at Janey. "That was delicious, thank you! I bet you get folks coming here all the time just for those."
Charisma at the fire strikes up a conversation. The mate replies "Nah, the boys will take care of me. I wouldn't miss Janeys rolls for nothin'" He says with a chuckle.

Charisma stops mid chew, "A blockade? No ships in or out?" She raises an eye brow the mate. "What do you suppose that's about?"
Edith sits down by the fire, listening to Charisma and the Mate talk while watching the flames flicker and dance.
Janey chuckles at Dahlia. "Oh, then, thank you! Didn't mean any offense but Luke has tried just about everything to get that recipe from me. He once even a had a friend of his start convulsing and claimed he must be allergic to something in them." She shakes her head "Said he'd have to know each ingredient to know how to heal him... buffoon!"

Edith nods "That's likely." Then looking up from the fire, she asks curiously, "Have you got any more interesting news? I love a good tale, tall or not."
"That's likely," Edith says, poking at the fire with a twig. After a moment she looks around to see if she can spot anything torn or broken.

"That sounds great!" Edith says, folding up the net and setting it next to the two sleeping people before following Dahlia and Mystwaen over to Janey.
