They fed by flyin’ low over the water and quickly dippin’ their heads in, nabbin’ unaware fish. Nifty stuff.…

That patron’s aims are evil—the corruption or destruction of all things, ultimately including you—and your path is defined by…
The Siblings. If asked, Miklos beams with pride at how well the siblings are doing. Chase has taken a job at the Black Dragon Inn, assisting with stock and cleaning, but never at the counter or in the kitchen. Livelihood. Chase’s job here doesn’t pay much beyond room and board; he presumably still earns most of his spending money through less-than-honest means. “Reckon you could do it, then?” The…

The sun is blazing down on the deck, and Pitt Whitley seems to be in especially dramatic form. His typically morose visage appears even more despondent than normal as he gazes into the sea.

When asked, Pitt responds by pointing helplessly off the side of Main Deck (T1)…
