You arive at The Best Ghost Ship. On the main deck is where most guests enjoy their food and drink.  The two largest masts (foremast and mainmast) rise from the center of this deck. Eight small, round tables with stools are scattered across the deck.  Two sea elves are swimming from occupied table to table bringing food and taking empty plates.

It is bustling with humanoids of the sea.

A simple bar has been cobbled together from wooden crates topped with a wide plank. Behind the bar is a Shark Man like creature, thicker and strong looking, his skin tone looks like that of a gray shark, skin rubbery looking like it also, while most of his face is human is structure, you notice that his noise is a little more pointed, and when he frashes a smile his teeth are that of a shark.  He has a large scare going down his face and missing 3 fingers on his right hand.

Swimming around the deck using a seasheall as a horn is a merfolk whoes colors are more like a rainbow, and she has 7 large hoop earings between the two ears.  She is being followed by an odd site, a ghost of a human man.  Then you look and you are able to count 4 other ghosts on the ship.  

Lastly you see a female Mermaid, with her tail cut off, she is riding on a manta ray, and followed by a dolphin.

There is one empty table that you all could sit at.

Jecob heads for the table. Even if the others will mill about, there should be a place everyone can return to.

While claiming the table for the party, Jecob listens to the conversations going on around the place, in case there are any important tidbits of gossip or information being discussed in public.
(He doesn't speak Aquan, but he does speak Primordial, so he can figure out the general conversations.)

Jecob you overhear the table next to you talking, (two people who have squad like faces, imagine Davy Jones from Pirates, except the tentacles cover their mouths, and they are able to use them to feed themselves with them.  And a little more human body.)

"I hear Commander Faulistus has closed off the hold, some weird stuff going on down there."

"Must not be that big of a deal the ship is still open."

"Yeah but she is also willing to shell out gold for it."

The next closest table to you is another sharklike person, similar to the bartender, and a Merrow (the merrow is not wearing anything showing affiliation with the gang you have been fighting)  Both of these people look extremely muscular.

“I know I will beat you in the barrel contest tonight.” Sharken
“I know you won't, nobody is going to be able to beat me, 5 gold that I win the whole thing.”  merrow

"What a strange place," Mist muses with hands on hips as he looks around. Spying the sharklike bartender, he grins and swims over to order food and drink for the party.

After placing the order, he glances back at the rest of the tavern before returning his attention to the bartender. "Name's Mis'tuv but you can call me Mist. We're recent arrivals, if you couldn't tell. Been hearin' some odd bits about happenin's down in the trench. Know anything about that?"

"Sharkbite Sam, I've heard all kinds of things, bottom line is something upworld is going on down there.  Not sure what though."

They do not serve drinks here, rather they serve oxygen.  They come in little wraps of seaweed that you put to your mouth and take a bit then suck the air out.  The oxygen comes in different flavors/smells but give surface livers a good high, but gets underwater livers drunk.

They have 2 basic options that have no flavor. 2 cp

Poorman’s Grog - 6 cp

the best discount beverage,

Testing Fate - 2 sp 

This potent cocktail is a mixture of strong, shark molasses fused air and a tincture of rare, venomous sea urchin juice.

Stick’s Rummage - 3 sp 

A few times a year, Sticks brews a batch of his famous dark oxygen. It is very popular with visitors, who gladly pay a premium to enjoy the fine spirit.

Anything we want to do before heading back and going for the next part of the Star?

Kuatho is curious and wants to sample Testing Fate.  He is overcome with wonder and wishes to sit and observe the creatures in this establishment.  “You’ve never seen anyone of my kind, have you?  This is wonderful, I want to hear what life is like here…”. He sits and listens to the conversations..

Kuatho make a DC 13 Con Save for me please.

Since Kuatho is guarding the table, Jecob will mosey over to Sharken and the merrow.

"Pardon my intrusion, but can you describe what a "barrel contest" is? I wouldn't think that woodworking to construct a barrel would excite viewers."

Kuatho con save : 12 

[OOC: Sorry thought I had posted earlier but it looks like I just closed the browser before hitting enter, dang it.]

Kraven would have accompanied Jecob to the table and sat down next to him glancing every which way admiring all the new exciting creatures in this bar. Never thought I would see such wonders under the sea. I knew there was people down here but not in such a variety, berating himself for being so dumb, why wouldn't there be, just think of all the different types of birds in the air, and isn't the ocean just a different type of air.

He will keep an eye out for anyone possible enjoying a game of cards or dice or any other game, he might want to see if he can join in, or at least peruse the people hanging around the games.

Perception: 25

Jecob the Sharken turns their head to you and smiles big, showing off all of their teeth.  "We hold them down.  They are filled with air, and we have to keep them down, it takes a good amount of strength to do so, and then over time it starts to get harder."

Kuatho the drink is much stronger than anything you are used to.

Kraven you do not see any lose money or anything that really interests you to take, you are too distracted by the type of people.

Jecob asks where and when this contest is going on, then wishes Sharken good luck later.
He then heads back to the table.

The party is kinda busy now, but if there is free time later, maybe that contest will be a good way to relax.

Mist orders a an oxygen high-ball for each of the adventurers and a shot of Stick's Rummage for his own further enjoyment.

He makes small talk as he waits. "So the up's goin' down, ya say? What a backwater mess that is...."

Back at the table, Mist distributes the refreshments. "Bollocks, I'm bushed. What say we throw back a few and call it a night. Doubt I'd survive a proper session in m' current state. This the place the ol' geezer told us to get rooms for the night?" He looks around to see if there are any hints at quarters for rent below decks.

Varlan contents himself with watching and listening. He worries what strange drugs and alcohol might do to his performance so goes slowly on the drink proferred by Mist. "Likely as not we'll be attacked by those fools again. Next time they'll bring more, no doubt."

"Eh..." Mist shrugs. "Doubt they'd be so foolish as to pursue us into an establishment such as this." He hoists what's left of his seaweed-wrapped refreshment and slurs, "Drink up, me hearties! Yo ho!"

"Riught here on the Deck in about an hour or so."  The Sharken answers

After wishing the Sharken good luck and you start to swim away you hear the Merrowyell, "OH YEAH #### CASPIAN! I'm not compeating after all."

Mist that is 1 silver per party member and 3 more for yourself.

You do see that there is a sign showing that there are a total of 4 rooms, A master suite that looks to be in uses, a small room that shows it hold 2 (5 silver for the night), and then 2 rooms that show they can hold 4 each (8 silver for the night).  There is also a Hostel like situation where you can get a hammock (for 8 copper a night).

“Oh, I feel sick…”. Kuatho’s antennae droop and he appears fatigued, sickened from his drink.  “A rest,  that sounds good to me.   Maybe that wicked drink I had will wear off… you guys feel ok?”

"Right as rain! Er... bubbles? Not sure what the sayin'd be underwater," Mist responds to Kuatho.

"Anywho, any o' yis need privacy for the night or you good for a hammock in th' common quarters? I'm happy either way long as I get some shuteye."

After hearing the prices of the rooms, Kraven chirps up, "I got the rooms covered, we should sleep in relatively safety tonight, just in case."

He swims over to the bartender and hands over 16 sp, "I would also like to try one of the Stick's Rummage and then whatever local delicacies or sweets you have."
