Havana Cuba...
At Some Point In Time...
22 May
The rain had fallen and moved on. The day was dawning clear and bright, with rumor floating among the various buildings. The govenor of Havanna was away on an important trip to the northwest. America apparently. Which left the tiny island to fend for itself. The docks were constantly active at all times of the day. All sorts of people worked them, men, women, children, Jellicles, Pollicles, all of them worked in harmony with one another and none apparently cared they were different.
But where money was concerned, that made people do strange things. Strange things indeed. You see, just within the area of Havana, there were several islands with massive forts, and inside these forts, are massive treasure vaults filled with gold. Gold for the taking, gold for the trading, gold for the buying and selling. Gold for pretty much everything. But to get there one needed several things, a good ship, a trusting crew, a competent captain, and good iron to shoot when needed.
Of course, on some of these ships, the Ancili, the Dovetail, the Delicia, the crews are in an extent, interesting. History has a way of repeating itself. The cycle, now long lost. Has begeun anew. It was on this day that found several people meeting for the very first time, some of them, have known each other for ages, others, have merely just met....
And so the day begins.....
0718 hours
22 May

the mangled old tom limped along, stopping to peer at this market stall and that, it had been a long trip from London and he wanted to take the opportunity to restock
his galleys stores. beans and bacon to be sure, and ohhh that ham looked nice!
Manfredd walked along at an easy pace thateasily kept pace with old Stubby ready to carry whatever wasn't sent directly to the ship.
he glanced about enjoying the bright clear morning.
meanwhile a certain young tiger queen was pleased to see a particular ship in port, she had missed it when it had left London and given what she had heard about it and it's crew
she was sure it would be a better fit than the bucket that she had sailed in on!
but first some breakfast

And so the day begins anew eh. Could be better. The rainfall the night before had all but driven the ship onto a reef! So that left the Captain to see ab out proper repairs. Without so much as a word Captain Grayhame went and saw to a Harbor Master. "I say there good fella. Repairmen are yet to arrive yes ?" Munkus looked a complete wreck, barely any sleep the night before, heck he rarely slept longer than two maybe three hours on a ship such as his. Though the Ancili was huge in retrospect.
"They are on deck good sir, what can I help you with ?" The harbor master replied.
"I'd like some minor repairs done to my ship, she's on the third dock, long way down. Called the Ancili. Yesterdays storms nearly ran her aground. Snapped the mainmast too. so I'd like that repaired" Munkus replied. Within a few moments the payment was settled and work was soon underway. It was time for breakfast. Stubs and manny had seen to restocking the hold and galley, he left them to it. In mean time, he went in search of breakfast.
Somewhere that was not seafood was perfect.

Teazer paused her nose rising as she sniffed the delectable aroma of roasting meat wafting from one of the tavern doors. it was a good sized place of three stories and by
the door was a large wooden sighn with a carved macaw that read Bille Mcgraw's. with a swish of her tail the young tiger queen sauntered in.
the ceiling of the main room was two of those three stories tall and the walls and floor were the wood work and decking from an old Spanish Galleon of the line.
while a bit upscale it was a bit too comfortably shabby to be pretentious. from the stage that projected between the stairs that led to what had been once the high aft "castle"
that used to contain the captains quarters and the scattering of patrons Teazer gussed that the place did the bulk of it's trade after the sun went down.
she was happy to note that the patrons were a mixed bag of Jellicles, Policlles and Humans.
as she glanced about Teazer spied the source of the aroma a block table with charcoal braziers on which were kebab spits with chunks of meat and peppers speared on them.
as she approached the table a stunning scarlet queen stepped out of a door behind it. "Hi there!" she said brightly , "now from the way your nose is twitching I just bet that one of these is
what you're after, am I right? well it's a copper per piece on the kebab, and don't worry about the coin round here a Coppers a Copper a Silver's a Silver and a Gold is a Gold!"
she said with a smile.
Teazer grinned back and dug out seven copper coins and handed them over.
MEANWHILE AT THE MARKET....
Manfredd carefully balanced across his wide shoulders a cage of doves, or were they pigeons?
Stubby grinned at him, "now ya see lad not only can we breed 'em ta eat, but we get eggs and they'll come back ta their covey so we can use 'em ta carry messages ta tha ship ya see!"
he said happily. then he veered to a bin on his left and began to examine the odd bulbous vegetables that it contained.
he turned to the merchant, "whats yer askin price?"
the merchant a squat human who's nose resembled his wares replied "four silver a bushelle."
"WHAT?" Stubby squawked, "if there twas a Higway Ah'd say ya were an Highwayman! one."
"one? so you would have my family starve? no I say no!....three?"
Stubby flicked an ear, "two an we'll take tha whole lot. have 'em sent down ta tha Ancili in slip 94 tha ships Exchequer will have ya Silver!"

Munkus ambled along the warf edge, dangerously close to falling into the surf below. Almost total lush yet he kept his feet. Moving right along he spied a lovely lady entering a tavern. Ah well, there is something one not see every day, why would a lovely lass enter such a rundown place ?
Such a rundown place ? No, such a beautifully smellin' place! Moving faster as the scent of meat filled his nose Munkus stepped up to the door and held it open for a man and five girls, He's got a money purse Munkus thought as he ducked into the tavern, the scent of roasting meat filled the air as he took it all in. Billie must be cooking something, whatever it is, it smells wonderfulHe spied Teazer not far off. He made for her table.
He took a seat next to her, saying nicely, "I'll have the same." Only in his case, instead of seven coppers, he put down a silver, that eas more than enough for his own mean, six times that in fact, which he said "Plus all I can eat." He smiled in greeting, "Kebabe for breakfast ey, better than fish." Then he introduced himself, "Captain Grayhame, captain of the Ancili, and whom so pretty am I addressing ?"

Teazer cocked an eyebrow at the handsome tom who sat down as the scarlet queen made the coin disappear and sashayed off to the brazier table.
"well Duckie if ya were talkin ta me an na the walkin invitation ta iniquity over there then tha name tis Rumpleteazer." she said with a grin.
"tha Ancili ya said, Oi heard good things about that ship," Teazer said deftly nipping a chunk of beef off of her kebabe.
the scarlet queen returned and leaned in placing a platter of kebabes in front of Munkustrap, "oh and My name is Bombalurina, you know I headline the stage act
and still Billie has me waiting the place in the off hours. but whats a girl to do right? so if either of you need anything just sing out dig?" Bomba said with a smile for both of them.
then she shimmied off.

Munkus smiled, "Actualy sweethearts, I was talkin to the both of ya. Ah thank you" He said as his food arrived, fresh meat, Perfect way to start the day! "Aye, that is my ship alright, we made port just this morning after a bad storm on the waters, very well nearly got thrown upon a reef! But we're in port and the Ancili is undergoing her much needed repairs. Now then." He gave a careful look at Teazer, Taking out a silver cigarette he lit the end of it and took a long drag, {good thing of having a sibling on board who was also a mystic and healed pretty much every orifice that smoked after a good BBQ outing} "What window have I seen you sneaking out of before. You look familar to me, have I caught you sneaking out of the presidental locker room at the World Series ?" Know Munk for the dumb pickup line for sure

the pretty young tiger queen batted her eyes at him, "why sirrrr Oi have no oida wot yer talkin about me bein a lady an all," she purred.
then she pulled a face and glared daggers at Bomba who had given a good natured "HA!" as she had delivered a pitcher of tea and placed a cup before each of them and flounced off tail fluffed.
Teazer smiled sweetly at Munkus "ahem and what of yer Privateerin ways hmmm? purrrhapse ya seen little me when ya was swngin from some chandileer an buckling yer swash!" she said with a cheeky grin as she leaned back the tight fitting jerkin she wore displaying her trim figure and well shaped legs quite nicely.
Teazers ears perked and her tail coiled and uncoiled as she awaited Munkus's next sally.
Bomba breezed amoungst the tables making the most of what little morning rush they got. she did have to admit the place looked better und the glow of the lamps at night!
but they did all right during the day as well, and dodging the occasionally overly friendly paw was fair exersise for her dancing!
MEANWHILE AT THE MARKET.....
Stubby was giving a satisfied smile at the dull THUNK the brick like biscut was making as he tapped it aginst the wooden support of the merchants stall.
"all right we'll be takin oh twenty bushels, delever 'em ta tha Ancili at slip 94," he said as Manny groaned.
Stubby gave the massive tom a friendly rap to the stomach with his walking stick and said "buck up me laddie they be fer emergency rations tis na like ya will be eatin them regular!"
Manny sighed and nodded.

Munkus thought a few seconds before replying "Buckling my swash ? No, nooo anything but that, as far as I am aware I swash my buckle." He said it in a way that made him proud, but also stupid looking for the moment, all in the manner of a CONTROL agent. Then he said while trying to stay composed "However I do recall something of dancing on a chandiler a few times. Keeping thinking of that weird dream, I really must have been loaded." One eye stayed on Teazer while the other followed Bomba, man, it got hard keeping track of certain parts of ones body. Hey at least they came back, {the eyeballs that is.}
While his left eye remained focused on 'Teazer, his right eye was wandering the tavern, finding a certain someone important, taking one careful once over, before returning to Munkus who said to Teazer "Excuse me a moment will you ? I got a phone call to make. Don't go no place I still think I recognise you sneakin' out a window." He stood up and left the room, heading for the back hall.
Once in the back hall he asked a Man where a phone was and went into said booth, closing the door and marking the bathroom as OCCUPIED he took off his right shoe and dialed the phone. "Hello Atert, Grayhame here.... Yes, G as in Good, R as in Rancid, A as in Amazing.... Grayhame, yes..... This is Atert..... A as in Amazing, T as in tart, E as in Atert... Oh hi Atert, listen I got an eyeball on a contact here. Yeah, I think he's the guy. But I'm not sure yet...... Well no I've not spoken to him yet..... No I was not...." His left eye caught sight of 'Teazer through the one way mirror wall he was behind. ".... distracted, look Atert, I'll call you back...What's that ? The mission ? Oh where is the Ancili docked at ? Oh well, that's easy....Yes, that's right, berth nine four, pier sixteen, three o'clock tommorow morning...... tomorrow morning ?...... Oh.... Oh ok, right. Got it..... Oh and Atert, if you see Cori, I didn't do it..... well whatever it was I didn't do it.... Oh and if you get the chance look up something for me will ya, yeah, Elisar, Dunno what it means but it might be important, might be a somebody, see if his kids are in town.... Alright I gotta go, someone's knocking on the bathroom door." Munkus hung uip, put his shoe back on his foot, flushed the loo, then exited.
"Took your sweet time" grumbled a patron, Munkus just rolled his eyes, He had a date to meet. He ambled his way back into the main part of the tavern.

the lovely young tiger queen continued to devour her kebabe while she waited. she rathere liked this toms situational awareness, how he could pay attention to
both her and their surroundings. okay she wasn't too thrilled that the main focus of this was that red furred bimbo this was still spoke well for his survivability.
while his repeated referances to seeing her come out a window made a part of her instincts want to beat paws, especialy after this 'I need to make a phone call' bit,
Teazer was still intrigued by the handsome gray and black tom. of course if he had sold her out she neuter him!
her pretty face brightened up when she saw the dashing tom return to the main area.
Bomba was busily replacing the sold kebabes with fresh on the braziers happily humming to herself when she noticed a frail old Siamese tom come in.
with a graceful bound she was by his side and guiding him to a seat.
"this humble one offers many thanks to your honorable self lovely one," he said in a soft voice.
"oooh but you know how to talk to a girl! now what can I get you Hun?" Bomba answered.

Munkus returned to the main dining area and took a seat, now dressed in a dark blue suit and white shirt, he took a seat at a random open table, motioning to the tender on duty to bring over a drink, as the drink arrived so did another man, Munkus lit a cigarette and took a drag off the thing as the man in a white suit and a red fez sat across from him.
"You have it ?" The man asked in a strong arabian accent
"Have what ?" Munkus asked in a confused tone.
"My, you never speak like that, you have a cold ?" The suited man asked
Munkus cleared his throat and did his best Bogart impression. "Whatduyawant ?"
"The weapons you promised me. Have you got them ? It is important we get them within the day" Said the suited man
"What do you need them for ?" Asked Munkus
"To overthrow the government!" Came the reply
"Which government ?" Came the question
"What's it matter as long as we're making money ?" Answered the suited man
"Gotta go with you on that one" Munkus agreed. Finally he said "Look fatso; I dunno who you are but this is not how I do business, I do business in a certain way, and that is after I've a few drinks and a smoke. Then we talk buisiness" He said.
"No good, contact me within the next twenty four hours, I'll be waiting for your call." The fat man got up and left. As he left another man sat in his place.
Munkus looked at the new arrival and asked "Well, what do you want ?" still in his Bogart impression.
"You got the information ?" Came the qustion
"Listen buster, I dunno who you are but if Bernie sees me talkin' to you he'll kill us both, I don't pigeon and I'm no stool. Now get outta here before I have you arrested for trying to lay on me" Munkus said, the man got up and left. Soon as the man was good Munkus took his drink and went back to where Teazer sat. At least he got to talk with his contact.
Soon as he sat back down next to Teazer he said "So, where were we ? Oh yes I remember now, the window, Yes, I remember clearly, we have to sneak into my house that way once, that is how I recall you, had forgotten my key."

Teazer cocked her head with a grin, "na yer thinking of tonight cause Oi'm sure that Oi'd remember meetin a strapping bloke like yerself! she purred.
"now Oi believe we were gettin aquainted, unless yer friends have other plans."
Miyagi, tilted his head with a soft smile "tea lovely one, and some of that nice meat please," he replied.
Bomba gave him a bright smile and flounced off.
Miyagi noted Munkustrap's conversations while seeming to stare serenely off into space. but he trusted his protege to handle his wheels within wheels.
then he turned to the aproaching friendly young queen. "ah wonderful, thank you Lovely One!" he said to her when she laid the platter before him. "oh you are welcome Hun" she answered brushing her fluffy tail under his chin when she turned and sashayed to her next table.
Miyagi gave a pleased sigh enjoying the mingled scents of warm food and young queen, Ah this was shaping to be a very nice day.
MEANWHILE AT THE MARKET....
Stubby and Manfredd having completed their task were on their way back to the Ancili when Mannys stomach gave a loud rumble.
"ah Stubby can we stop and get some food, huh?" he asked hopefuly.
"all right laddiebuck all right," the mangled old tom said with a chuckle.

Munkus shook his head, "No, if I were thinkin' of tonight it'd include trying to bed you, which I am not thinking of because I am in fact thinking of some startling news I was recently informed of. The Govenor of Havanna is on a trip y'see, Not far from here on a tiny island is a fort, inside said fort is a massive vault filled with gold and gems and whateverelse one can hope for." He said. "Now, since I forgot m'key, how's about you helpin' us out. You'll get full share of the profit as well for helping get us inside."
Though most ships captains got the larger shares while the crew got one share devided equally after the Quartermaster took his share, deviding what was left of the treasure between the rest of the crew.
But Munkus was not like that, Munkus insisted that he take an equal share just like the normal crewmen did. In this case, rather then take a full quarter of the treasure found, then giving another quarter to the quartermaster, in this case his good friend and very helpful advisor {not to mention elder} Myagi, Munkus instead had the full treasure divided equally between the entire crew, himself and Myagi included. That normally meant that the crew were very rich men, also well fed to. A well fed crew were a happy crew, and a happy crew was not a crew plotting to mutiny.

the young tiger queens tail curled and uncurled lazily, "ooooh but ya do know how ta show a girl a good time!" she purrred.
"all right Oi'm in..." she said then she leaned over and said softly, "but what about tha bloke who's in the pillar right behind ya,
Oim sure he heard every word!"
Miyagi cocked his head as he nibbled at his kebabe, hmm this tiger queen bore watching if she could sniff out the Captians friend Agent 44.
the elder tom just hoped the Govoners departure was not....too convenient!

"He's supposed to, that's his job, he was planted in here two days ago to keep track of everything happening around him, and don't worry of the Pit Boss, that's Agent 53, she's in disguise. With them in here before I or any others arrive, they allow us to get in and get out safely without a gunfight happening." Munkus explained, he loved being an agent, but owning his own privateering ship made it all the more fun too, because not only was he a ships captain. But he was also on contract on an "As Needed" basis, so at the moment even while traveling, his AS NEEDED was in fact changed for the current job to ON DUTY.
It was then that his right shoe started ringing, the ringtone was a generic one too, nothing fancy. Just a basic ring. "Could you excuse me a minute, I gotta answer my shoe." With that he hopped off his stool and ambled off in his best Bogart impression for the hallway once more behind the bars' one way mirror wall.
Once back there he picked up, "Hello ?.... Yes this is Grayhame speaking,... Agent 186 speaking..... I see.... No; we got the info already Atert..... Yes Manny's with Stubz now,.... No Atert I've no idea what market they went to....Oh.... You got the ring already for him huh..... I thought it was us fellows that proposed first ?....oh, Alright, when I see Manny I'll let him know you want to speak to him.... anything else ?..... Great got it, three am changed to seven pm tonight at Fort Matheiu.... wait Fort Matheiu ? Why there ?.... Oh, right I forgot.... Yes I've yet to speak with 44, no I was actually thinking of 13.... well our new contact caught scent of 44,... yes but 13 can hide it better thanks to all that limburger.... Right Atert, Agent 186 signing off." He hung up his shoe and put it back on. there had to be a way to do this job during the night, but the Ancili was in dock for repairs until further notice!
He then went over to the pillar where Teazer had scented 44, "44, you there ?"
"Here Munk" Came a voice from the light fixture above him. "Don't look up, just listen carefully." 44 said as Munkus was about to look up, the Captain nodded and acted as if waiting for the bathroom as 44 explained the change in plans "the Govenor of Havanna is leaving the fort first thing tomorrow, he'll be off the island by two am sharp and all the money within the fort on his ship for transport, we moved up the timetable to get that money before it can fall into enemy hands. If we tried for the 3 am spot, we'd be ambushed, so rather then risk it we moved the time backwards by six hours"
"Alright, thanks 44, oh and 44, wear limburger next time our new contact caught your scent." That said Munkus actually used the loo before returning to Teazer's perch at the bar, he spotted Myagi briefly, he'd speak to him in a second or two, firist thing he had to do was get Teazer to sing the crew registry to make it offical so she'd get her full share in the loot.

as Munkus ambled off the scarlet queen sashayed up and grinned at Teazer shaking her head, "his shoe rings and he has to go answer it? too too weird.
here let me top those off Hun," she said as she added more kebabes and replaced the tea pitcher.
Teazer grinned back as Bomba once again made her circut around the room.
at his Table Miyagi began asembeling a writeing frame the pieces of which came from a shoulder bag he wore followed by a set of pens a jar of ink and a jade knob
with a seal carved into one face. he could tell that Munkus had decided to recruit his pretty companion so it was best that he be prepared.
MEANWHILE ELSEWHERE.....
to call the establishment that Stubby and Manny entered a dive would be an exercise in optomisim. it was dimly lit and that was probably a good thing.
"are you sure this is the place you were thinking of Stubby?" Manny asked dubiously as he peered about.
"sure it tis, Ah've been here many a time lad! you just wait and see what they do for Crabs!" Stubby said then he gave a big smile to an empty table,
"Fishbait good ta see ya laddiebuck!" he continued happily.
Manny turned to where Stubby was looking and saw...nothing he gave his massive shoulders a shrug and asked,
"one of your Ghosties huh? uhh he didn't die from the food did he?"

Munkus returned to the main eating floor and move to a table occupied by an older appearing man with a writing tablet, once seated Munkus saw the tea and waved over a waiter, "I'll have the same drink please" the waiter nodded seeing the tea requested and left the table. Soon as the waiter was gone Munkus leaned close to Miyagi and said softly in Siamese "we're all set; the pretty lady is ready to go, is the contract all set ? All we need is her moniker on that and she's on board until we get the goods, then she can choose to stay on longer or take leave of our company. Anything from Stubz ?" Munkus was not one to force his crew to remain with him on jobs and treasure hunts. They stayed on if they chose to do so. He let them choose, always asking if they wanted off at the next port or if they wanted to extend their contract, most of the crew extended contract three times. But the rest went for one job and then took leave as their contract ended.

the old tom smiled, "all is ready and awaiting her dainty paw. as for our Cook by the way supplies were arriving before I left he and Manfredd should be done by now,
oh and young Manfredd has renewed his contract." he said softly then he gave a warm smile when Bomba arrived with cups and a small pot of tea.
"ahhh, thank you Lovely One!" Miyagi said as the scarlet queen poured a cup for Munkus and placed it before him with a smile of her own.
"Lovely One would you be so kind as to ask the pretty Tiger Maid to join us?" he asked Bomba.
who nodded and replied "sure thing Hun!" once again when she turned and left she fluffed her tail under the old toms chin.
Miyagi inclined his head to Munkus "this one does hope you do not mind his anticipating your whim. I belive that this will be a favored stop when we are in this port."
after a brief exchanged between the two queens Teazer strolled over and sidled up to the table smiling expectantly at Munkus.
MEANWHILE ELSEWHERE....
"donn be a goose lad!" Stubby declared as he led the way to what might have been a table, at least Manny thought it was a table, in the gloom it could have been a crate, a barrel,
or even a pile of petrified...whatever. as they sat out of the gloom came an elderly pollicle.
"Cecille be a good lad an fetch us a plate of yer crabs!" Stubby said. Cecille nodded and disappeared back into the darkness.

In the tavern, Billie McGraws, Munkus smiled to his Quartermaster, "Always ready for anything." He liked that motto, it was one of the reasons Munkus took him on as Quartermaster, always seeing to the ship carefully. Every last detail properly set up. Munkus raised an eyebrow at the mention of Manny renewing his contract. But never asked of the reasons why, the crew told him their reasons at their own pace, he never prodded for reasons of extension of requests of taking leave at the end of the contract. Munkus felt it was good buisiness to make sure the crew was well satisfied.
Munkus smiled, favoite stop when in port, yes, but there were also other spaces in order to gather crew. Munkus nodded, softly saying "yes, this will be one of our locations, once we got our dandy's moniker down on the contract, I'd like for you to broker a deal with the redhead over yonder, she can be a good infomation keeper and trader. I'll get in touch with the owner, see if we can go into joint ownership of similar, a place ot stay when in port, surely the boys on the ship could use some well needed R&R"
When 'Teazer arrived Munkus stood, "Ah yes, just finalised a few things, now, my Quatermaster here has the contract ready, its easy and settled quickly, once singed you help us with this one job, then you can pick and choose if you want to extend your contract or request a port to drop anchor at when the job's done." He motioned a hand towards the writing tablet that Miyagi had set up. His tea finished he turned to Miyagi, "I will meet up with you at the ship in about an hour, I need to see the Harbor Master and get in touch with an old friend." With that he took his leave. stopping by the original bar perch for a long kebabe of meat and oinions.

Teazer gave a smile and a nod when Munkus took his leave, then she turned and looked at the carefuly.
Miyagi.s face softened, "are the terms acceptable? if so sign here. "
the young tiger queen took up the pen and signed with a flourish and Miyagi took and pressed the jade seal next to the signature.
"welcome to the Crew the ship is in slip 94. I am sure that our endevors will be mutually profitable."
Teazer laughed and Brightly said "Oi'll see ya down at tha ship Pops!" and headed off herself.
Miyagi shook his head. youngsters these days! then a motioned for Bomba to come over, "Lovely One if this one could have a word..."
MEANWHILE ELSEWHERE.......
Manny was pleasently surprised when a platter swept out of the gloom and onto the table between him and stubby. it was piled high with steamed crabs and by the scent they had been steamed in Beer.
gingerly he picked one up pulled off a claw and sucked out the meat...happily he licked his chops oh these were tasty!
Stubby didn't say anything, he just dug in.
when they finshed the last cab he said with great regret, "C'm on Laddibuck we are needin ta get back ta tha ship!"

As the day began to fade into night, and the sun began to set to the Florida Keys to the west, The city of Havanna was a bustle of activty over the complete area. Finding many residents wandering in groups, the markets fresh with produce, fish and otherwise. Soldiers were seen in places as well. Numerous by the hour as the darkness rolled in. At a certain dock a certain Harbor Master stood at his post, working out local maps, taxes, dock lease payments, among other things. The Harbor Master was the first on the site of the return of two of the crew, joined shortly by a third, as Captain Munkustrap Grayhame was soon on the scene as well after leaving Billie McGraws Tavern and Inn. There was also sign of a new ship coming in, someone important was within the craft. The question now was, who ? Sunset 22 May Havanna Cuba Peirs Pier Three; Slip Nine Four |

Munkus was moving quickly through the various crowds, with the plans already moving properly for once he managed to sweet talk himself some time with Billie McGraw, though it lasted briefly, even then it worked out. Ducking through various crowds as soldiers were thicker at the time, he managed to ward off any signs of pursuit as he neared the harbor master. This was going to take some work, and he knew it. But it was quicker then expected. As he walked up, the harbor master produced a note. "What is this ?" Munkus asked.
"A request sir. You are to meet with your Cook and deckhand with him at dusk, ten minutes from now at the Bordelo owned by Chalice Elisar, her envoy, a lovely lady I must admit, is there and waits for you to join her. She impressed upon me that it is pertient that you, your cook, and deckhand vist her soon as you are able to do so sir." Said the Harbor Master. Munkus nodded and accepted the slip. He nodded and thanked the man before walking off. It was time to meet up with this.... Elisar envoy.
