Privateering with Manum, Trapo and the Grandguildlings
989 Jan 31
After Harald et. al pop out to hang with Walid without contact for 2 days, Mamun assumes Harald is dead, crowns Face II Duke of Eritria and decides to get his thief on. Mamun slurps down a potion of treasure finding finding (or something) in order to earn enough for entry to the upcoming Valentine's Day Phoenix auction on the elemental plane of fire. Romantic. We locate 3 treasure-laden vessels in Marsala harbor. In order of richness: 1) The Falcon, 2) The Granites of Babylon, 3) The Leviathan. There is also an underwater rift in Marsala harbor (perhaps caused by a recent earthquake) that might contain some riches.
Mamun and FaceII head out to town to see what they can find out about the ships:
The Falcon: bound for Egypt. Captain Ali. Owned by the Bab al-Naser 'Gate of Victory' (this, unfortunately, doesn't ring a bell to Mamun) It has a small crew, but might also harbor some kind of hunchback/madman/demon that wears a gold mask, has two different colored eyes and apparently hides his wealth in his wounds (Gross!)
