The Waterhawk

Pilini
Carlysle 
Pilini walked back across the deck of The Waterhawk to go over arrangements with the Captain an additional time. The newly appointed Captain nodded, “The first mates quarters shall remain empty as you instructed, of course everything will be done as you have instructed.” 


Pilini continued, this time switching to their native gnome tongue, “Since I am not going to be with you, I have to be sure we have covered everything. Mapping is going to be very important, Carlysle can handle it but he is an artist with an artist’s temperament, remind your crew that his work is very valuable to...me.  

The other fellow Alithando, he it turns out is a skilled diplomat and linguist, don’t allow the sailors to bring him to any harm.”  The gnome captain nodded before asking about the Halfling Stewart, “He spooks me, what is his story?”

Pilini sighed and looked down at the waters slapping against the hull, “Stewart was a prisoner down there," he explained pointing down at the foaming sea, "Out of everyone we’ve saved from this storm, he’s the only one without jumbled fragmented memories.  Give Stewart a chance, he’s agreed to help out our cause.  Besides, if he decides to disembark somewhere along the way and get on with a life, he is free to go.”

Captain Varbold smiled at that, “Thanks again for this Pilini, Stormhaven is too dangerous for all of us any longer!  Everyone aboard this ship owes you their lives. We will deliver everyone to their missions and if we make it to the great continent, assist Carlysle with mapping its coasts.
