Mist turns to Druquilla. "Why d'they always have to comment on m' stature? Is there nothin' more interestin' or compellin' about me at first glance? Maybe I should get a funny haircut or summat..." He shakes his head and turns back to Barbarossa.

"Octopus-snail, you say? Sounds weird. What's this 'EES' you mention? Some sort of local guard? What kind of run-ins have you had so far? If it stays away, why is it a problem?"

Karven hearing Mist talking outside, will swim up and and join them, listening in on the conversation, eyes going a bit wild at the mention of some squid type thing in the water.

"Short man is a funny one.  EES is the Electric Eel Security, it's a group of eels, speak of em." And he points at 3 Electric Eels who just swam into the room take a pause to look at the show before the lead one makes a head motion and they swim off.  "Some how a contract was struck with them, there is 8 squads, each taking about a 6 hour shift.  Now on to this octopus snail as you called it, it does stay away, it attacks the castle.  Any it spots me it swims off. Now if you don't mind I'd like to enjoy the rest of the show, I after all am a paying costumer."  And he taps at his coin purse. 

@Mist

" Never mind, my friend. Those who meet for the first time can't see how big you're inside."  Though Gintarou speaks these words with a sober face, there are a few small bubbles leaking from the corner of his mouth .…which indicates the warrior isn't as serious as he looks.

@Redbeard

Gintarou is impressed by the large build of the pirate. There are only a few humanoids that can match his height even among Goliath and Dragonborn. And he met no human heavier than him… until today. Gintarou wonders if the ginger head man has a giant lineage too. " One more thing captain. Do you have any idea why the beast keeps attacking the castle? I mean, the ocean is huge. If the octopus only wants food, it doesn't need to stick with a castle guarded by electric eels and a pirate. It would Just swim away and find a better place to feed. So something or someone is attracting the monster. Did your chef accidentally cook their eggs before?  " 

Druquilla follows after Mist, a small smirk forms on her lips when the halfing insults the man only for the man to fire back at him. When Mist turns to her Druquilla just shrugs, "Perhaps he is just surprised at something of you stature has not been eaten by something larger as is the way of life in the sea, it has surprised me."

Listening to the description of the mystery beast Druquilla interest is peak especially one thing Redbeard mentioned, "Why do you think it run when it sees you? That is a little suspicious, why would such a large creature be afraid of just a simple man?"

The man has sat down, thrown his feet onto the table and gone back to eating his food.  He says nothing.

Kraven listens intently to everything being said but what the man is saying seems suspicious and is happy with Dru's question a something seems amiss.

Insight check: 14

He seems to be truethfull.

The man just sits with his hand on his coin purse.

Druquilla rolls her eyes at Mist's action before moving to the table and knocking Redbeard's feet off it, "You never answered my question, what does a beast like the one you describe have to fear from a man such as yourself?  Either you have some to control the beast or know something you are not sharing."

Druquilla stands in front of the man, arms crossed, eyes cold, as she tries her best to spot any tell the man has.

Insight 3

"Look LOVE!"  the man says, no yells, as he stands.  "I"VE ANSWERED QUESTIONS LONG ENOUGH!"  at this point the show has come to a pause and everyone is looking.  "Time is money, but I'll answer your last question, I DON"T KNOW!"  he then starts to swim off.

You see Menon treading water at the door to his office, and with a slow quite murmer the show picks back up.

Kraven, will signal Dru, and then follow behind Redbeard to see where he goes and what he does.

Stealth: 18

The man swims back up to the tavern area and sits down, the waitress comes over leaves and comes back with two drink sacks and a pudding then swims back down to the show room, and to the door oposite of Menon's office, he pulls out a key and goes into the room.

"Well this was certainly a strange detour..." Mist says, a bit confused by the turn of events. "What say we head back to the ship an' keep on keepin' on? Not so sure this part o' the sea's quite big enough for that one and his temper. Besides, sounds like this place is safe enough from the devil squid. Not quite sure the pay would be worth the headache." He shrugs and begins to swim back toward the entrance.

Kraven rejoins the group and says what he saw and agrees with Mist, "I am happy to leave this place, I am uncomfortable being here."

"Fine with me," Druquilla huffs as her gaze goes to the room Kraven pointed out where Redbread went before following after Mist. "If this place ends up destroyed, we will know who caused it. I know he is connected to the creature somehow; I just cannot figure out how."

Once they make it back to the surface, Mist shakes the water from his hair and works it out of an ear with his finger. Freb is still mirroring his actions so it's kind of weird.

*POP*

An all-but-forgotten imp appears out of thin air and Tukmas shouts, "What in the Nine Hells were you all doing down there?! You've been gone forever and I've been stuck with just this numbskull to keep me entertained." He jerks a thumb back toward the ship where Ronald is waving enthusiastically and ginning like an idiot. "Can we please get moving? This is by far the most bored I've been since I got saddled with this pipsqueak." He rolls his eyes and jerks his head to indicate he means Mist.

Mist/Freb walks past Tuk, back toward the ship. He can just be heard muttering, "I'll saddle yeh if you don't keep that tongue in yer head, demon," as Feb's massive hand swats Tuk off the dock. A yelps follows as he pops back out of sight too slowly to avoid the slap and a small splash erupts 10 feet off the dock followed by a larger one another 5 feet out as an invisible imp skips across the water.

From the deck, Mist shouts down to Gintarou. "Oi! Bigm'n! Which way's that infernal compass o' yours pointing us next?"

The Compass is pointing in a west by south west direction, taking you further away from the main land.  You travel on the open sea for about a week, is there anything you would like to do during this time?

Mist spends most of the time trying to cheat the crew out of their hard-earned coin in games of cards, dice, or anything else they can come up with. He also very unsuccessfully flirts with Lalia constantly and does his best to avoid Govenal (he scares Mist...).
