After getting as much fresh meat on his plate after being on the ship for soo long, Jupp sits down and begins eating, between bites "I believe we have the poor buggers daughter to talk to as I am not sure if anyone has informed her that her dads dead."
"I was thinking the same Jupp, though I'm not sure if we, a bunch of strangers, should tell her... Maybe Isow will tell her and we could be close by to talk to her if she feels up to it? He may have a better idea of when her boat is due to dock now..." Clancy says through a mouthful of fruit.
Picking over the various offerings Samnang pipes up, "My new...friend...told me about some interesting goings on around the village." She spends a good few minutes recounting the events to her off-shore compatriots. "Could be some interesting stuff to check out." If Ni Made walks by at any point Samnang gives her a wave and a cheeky wink.

Ni Made makes her way towards the employees exit with a lingering glance and a blown kiss in Samnangs direction before she closes the door behind her.
"I can definitely do that, I'm not sure he's in any better of a mood, but he's always kind of cranky, so that's to be expected, I guess!" Mal grins.
The companions gather themselves and Mal quickly asks among the less reputable folks they pass on the street and finds out that Adik Kiwas ship berthed in the early hours of the morning ahead of schedule, she has apparently already spoken with Uncle Isow and headed to her estate.
He is further informed that if they are looking for Isow he is still down at the docks talking with some sailors.
"Absolutely - I can lead you anywhere you like. To the docks first? Maybe we can catch this traveler there, and if we miss her, I can take you up to the estate." Mal says, chewing on the end of a small stick.
Grabing some bacon for the road and downing the last of his breakfast beer Jupp stands, brushes himself off of any crumbs. "Shall we head out then little Mal?"
The docks seemingly decided as the first destination the four companions headed off with Mal in the lead.
Arriving there they look around for Isow but can't see him out on the street or on the docks, Mal looks around and determines based on the sparse crowd and that he was said to be speaking with fishermen he must be in one of four places and describes them vaguely to his companions, rattling off facts about each one:
The House of the Sea Not every wayfarer who lands here is a rich merchant, and the bargemen and porters who halt here sometimes lack kinsmen to take them in for a night. The House of the Sea offers minimally tolerable lodging at cheap prices. A mat in the common room and a bowl of steamed rice and fish soup will run most strangers six copper ingots- or three if they do without the meal. The house’s keeper is a bottomlessly cynical old man, Eso, who keeps it with his elderly wife Osa and their cheery, unreasonably innocent granddaughter Ellya.
The Tuak Cup This drinking house is for both Parakans and foreigners. The humidity of the day seeps in through the thin woven walls of the tavern, and the tuak (palm wine) and beer they serve gives a warmth that’s less pleasant than the usual jungle heat. The higher classes do not come here, but instead drink at better Guest Houses or in the homes of friends. The fishermen and common laborers have no special love for outsiders, but they can often be persuaded to speak for a drink or two.
Crippled Asa’s Sundries Selling his wares out of a sea-damped hut by the docks, Crippled Asan’s leg was torn by an enemies spear in his youth, and his clan arranged for him to sell small sundries to fishermen that he might have a living. He is graying now, but still powerful across the shoulders, and with a gleaming smile that does not waver even when he’s busy strangling some troublesome fellow. Mal also mentions quietly that if you need to fence something here then Asa is the one to see....
Ikyon the Boatwright Parakan makes its own share of outriggers and djong, and the old man is the best of its boatwrights.
"Good morning, Ikyon - Anything interesting happen lately? We're looking for Isow, have you seen him? I'm not buying today, you know I can't sail very well. I prefer to navigate the alleys and side streets - it's a bit more stable and I don't have to bring my own food."

" Interesting? Was a murder yesterday.....some of the fishermen been talking about a great white crocodile...."
" Isow? Iya, he was here to meet that pretty little djong over there, talked for a while with a rich woman...she started crying then she left and he headed over to the The Tuak Cup....still there I think."
" You can't sail well? Thats very sad....though what legends I know of your forbears they are mighty builders of stone.....not so much of floating wood."

Jupp makes hes way over to the cup and upon entering will make his way to the bar and buy two ales looking for Isow while he is doing this 15 (Perception) and if he spots him will make his way over and sit down next to isow

Jupp looks over the crowded sweltering place, the sea breeze hrough the slatted walls doing little to combat the humidity, he looked around for Isow but could not see him among the crowd.

As Uce and Krikoris sat at the bar surrounded by sweaty fishermen and labourers they saw a massive figure enter and look around, a Denawa Uce knew they were called locally, though to Krikoris the individual resembled the old tales of Nun'Yunu'Wi. He seemed to be looking for someone...
Krikoris speaks to his relatively new companion, "So, about this city you're looking for, any ideas of where to go from here?" Turning to see the newcomer, "Ok, that's the biggest person I've ever seen without scales. Is that normal around here?"
He is average height, perhaps a little skinny, his half-elven heritage shows up in his beardless face and slightly pointed ears. His hair and eyes are both a fiery red. His pale skin has faint markings, almost like scales. He wears simple traveling clothes in muted colors and carries a pair of daggers on his belt and a simple crossbow that looks like it's never been used.

"do we head to the docks then or make our way to Adik's estate... actually do we know where the estate is?" Jupp says as he yawns and streches

( Mal knows the way to the estate, it is one of the grander buildings in the Garunam Quarter.)

Ikyon the Boatwright
Parakan makes its own share of outriggers and djong, and the old man is the best of its boatwrights.
"Shall we split up or head togeather? I feel like if she came in on a ship any trouble would be soughted by the Boartwright"
DJ
"That's as good a place to start as any, friend Jupp. Let's go see what old Ikyon knows."
The group headed across the docks toward the shipwright sheds, asking the workers they soon spot the old Ikyon sanding an outrigger.
As they approach he looks up and over them, " Looking to buy? I can let this beauty go for 300 silver."
"Good morning, Ikyon - Anything interesting happen lately? We're looking for Isow, have you seen him? I'm not buying today, you know I can't sail very well. I prefer to navigate the alleys and side streets - it's a bit more stable and I don't have to bring my own food."
