Harold Blackhoof
The fog is thick enough to swallow the screams. I can hear the tide lapping against the broken wood of the longboat, but this survivor... he still has fight left in him.
The Battered Pirate
Please. Do not let the drow end me. I am only the navigator. I have no quarrel with you, minotaur.
Ollisir the Silent
His pulse is erratic, Harold. He is terrified, but his eyes are searching for your flank. Give the word.
Harold Blackhoof
Speak, navigator. Tell me who sent this party and where the rest of your fleet is hiding in these caves. If your answer is honest, you might live to see the sunset.
The Battered Pirate
The Spider Queen does not employ mercy, but I will talk. Her captain, Vok, is waiting in the grotto just north of here. They have three more cutters hidden in the kelp.
Harold grips the pirate by his collar, hauling him from the debris. The air reeks of brine and the metallic tang of blood.

Interrogate the navigator about the pirate fleet
“I tell yuz, lock this one up in our holding cells and send men to secure the boat”
SUCCESS (Superb War tactics, rolled -2)
Harold Blackhoof
The navigator is right about the grotto. I know those caves. If Vok is there with three cutters, he is waiting for the tide to turn.
Harold Blackhoof
Ollisir, bind him. Get him to the holding cells. I need this one alive for the interrogation to continue later.
Ollisir the Silent
Consider it done. I will have the guards secure him in the depths of the tower, far from any sympathetic ears.
Harold Blackhoof
Good. Take a squad and scour the wreckage for anything of value. Then, get to the caves. If they are in the kelp, they are blind to a pincer movement from the ridge.
Ollisir drags the whimpering navigator away into the mist, leaving Harold alone to survey the splintered shoreline.
Harold Blackhoof
Three cutters are a heavy burden for my limited crew, but if I hit them before they mobilize, the Brass Shield might survive the week.
