Eorl Deals With The New Weirdos In C-Town

Bright and early, Sir Reginald Q. Zappata gets a knock on his door. It's his freshly laundered Crimson Cutlass outfit. He quickly pays the launderer a gold piece and swears him to secrecy, then heads over to Eorl's room. He explains that he travels with a Crimson Cutlass so that he can dress as "that menace" at assorted high society costume balls. Eorl sighs and decides to let the baby have his bottle. "My mistake," says Eorl graciously. Reginald then heads down to the bar for some breakfast. While dining he meets a young man offering him an "investment opportunity" in the lighthouse off shore. Reginald agrees to bring some gold that evening to Crimea Alley that night after dark and they can discuss it.

That night, The Crimson Cutlass stalks from rooftop to rooftop over to Crimea alley. He spies his prey consorting with another thug, both of them giggling like goons over the million gold pieces that Sir Reginald promised to bring. The Crimson Cutlass is ready to leap down on them when there comes some yelling from around the corner.
