A tribal woman approaches the ship. she's wearing crude leather armor and wielding a scimitar, but she doesn't look like your typical tribesperson.
A large pelican flaps up and lands before you, “Hello there. You seem to have your eye on the Barnacle.”
"wait, the Barnacle?" she seems to process this info. "where's your captain" she eventually says
“Indeed, it is the Barnacle. The Bloodiest of Barnacles. The Captain is… I haven’t actually seen him lately but I would assume he is in his quarters. I wouldn’t bother him though, he is a busy man.” He turns his head sideways to get a better look at you. “Have you heard of the Barnacle before?”
The Yugoloth is looking for Tao *please I really want to continue this arc*
Tao is loitering belowdecks
They approach him and start writing. ‘I couldn’t help but notice the impressive ship you have. Surely you have noticed the screaming abyssal portal? An old friend of this ship, Xi, has been captured by a demon lord. He is using the last of his waning strength to keep that portal active. He believes the Barnacle and her crew can help him. The captain unfortunately won’t risk the Barnacle proper, but would you be willing to lend your vessel to me so I and a small group can go and try to save Xi? My Yagnoloth has written a contract and everything already, all you need to do is sign.’
Tao grins and indicates his sailboat. “This little thing? Take it, by all means. I no longer have any use for it.”
*Okay, great.*

“Really now,” he hops from one flat foot to another, “What history do you have with the ship?”
“How long have you been out in the wilds, neglecting your social life?” speaks the Pelican with his harsh sounding voice.
Tao grins and indicates his sailboat. “This little thing? Take it, by all means. I no longer have any use for it.”

“I see,” he points his bill at you and croaks, “what caused you to forsake mankind?”
Damian is making omelets.
Edit: *Dang that is some bad timing.*
What's life without a little war to spice things up? Anyone who worries about the little things should notice the bigger picture.
