Geralt heard some noises outside of his cabin's door. The rats were delivered some time ago. He reached for his saber and opened the door. A cabin boy was trying to peek through the keyhole. Geralt grabbed him and shook him quite hard.
- Didn't you read the orders?! No one disturbs me except in cases of emergency! Why you were loitering here? Are you a spy?- the white mask looked frightening in the barely lit corridor. The cabin boy was to afraid to say something.
- Get out of my sight! If I catch you again I'll discipline you myself with something far worse than a whip!- Geralt let go of the kid. Before he returned to his studies he locked his cabin's door.

Eduardo saw someone coming towards him. When he got closer and the moonlight fell over him, he saw it was the bard he saw in the tavern this afternoon.
"Greetings, bard. You've made quite the ruckus this afternoon. Excitement robbing you of your sleep?"

"Ha! I only wish that you were right. The hardness of the floor and the hunger of not eating regularly for five days are what have kept me awake for so long." Simon explained this, making some vague hand motions to accompany his words. "Forgive me for being so upfront, but what was your name again? I didn't quite catch it in all of the confusion."

"You dinna catch my name, because I never told you. If you knew my name, that would mean I was starting to build myself a reputation. And you only have yourself to blame for not eating so long." Eduardo said.
"But if you must know, my name is Eduardo Calavera." Eduardo offered the Half-Elf his gloved hand.

Simon took it. "Pleased to be properly introduced. My name is Simon Deloran. Obviously, I'm the bard. So then, who are you bunking with? I know this crew inside and out, and I assume that you don't want to be stepping on any ones toes?"

"I am the new Gunchief, so I am sleeping with the officers. And as far as stepping on toes is concerned, I've stepped on plenty in the past. I've a habit of riding over toes with an armoured warhorse, to be more accurate." Eduardo popped another slice of sausage in his mouth and noticed the Simon staring at it.
"You're not getting any, so don't bother asking. But the cook is sleeping like an Egglünd bear in winter, so you can likely sneak some food out for yourself. But you did not hear that from me."
Eduardo cracked a wide grin.
"But back on rubbing people the wrong way, I think I already rubbed the capitan good. I'm not a day in this crew and I already started openly disagreeing with him."

"Haha! Good man. Arcturus likes to see that his new crew members have a spine." Simon paused as his face darkened. "Nurgunnen, on the other hand, takes nothing lightly." He looked out at the port. "You talked about honor? The man has none. He has the mind of a beast and manners to suit them. Arcturus says that he made the man his Raid Chief because of this... But many of us think that it is because the captain fears the man. Watch out for him, and sleep with one eye open. Kalthak would at least wait for you to wake up before he tore out your throat."
Simon's dark mood lifted suddenly, "And about that sausage, no thank you. I've already been to the kitchen and had some chicken. I'm the reason that Mat was under all of those dishes and pots..."

"Being underneath that junk doesn't seem to hinder his snoring though."
Eduardo spat out a piece of gristle.
"Thanks for the warning. Davaian also warned me, but I think I need not worry. I sleep above the swine and in the crusty old hammock of his, he could not turn without me hearing it. And you do not survive being a mercenary for nigh on 20 years by being stabbed in the back by the first b@stard in the night."
Eduardo ate another slice of the sausage.
"Any other crew-members I need to keep my eye on?"

"Well, no. None except Nurgunnen and his men, perhaps Kalthak if you insult his family or honor too much, but if you do that then you will have to watch out for me and Davian as well." Simon gave a short theatrical bow. "You might think of me as just a simple performer, perhaps a fool, but trust me when I say that unless you want the lst sane thought in your head to be 'Dear God what have I done', you don't want to get on my bad side."
Simon threw his hammock over his shoulder. "Oh, one more thing. Lianna is not anyone's property. Treating her like she is will get you on the hate list right next to Nurgunnen. Goodnight Eduardo. Pleasant dreams."

Geralt locked the cabin and walked onto the deck, where he found the bard and the gunchief talking.
- The cook's asleep?- He asked Eduardo.- Seeing as you raided the kitchen already, I say he is. Did you happen to see any other beverages than that blasted grog everyone's drinking? Termingran somogon would be perfect.

"Like I said to the Bard, he's sleeping like an Egglünd bear in winter and snoring like a sawmill. But I was looking for food, so I did not bother checking for any drink. I saw several unlabeled barrels, but there's no telling what's in those without opening them." Eduardo replied, before eating another slice of sausage.
"Not to big a lover of rum myself, I prefer brandy or gin. But like I said, I did not bother checking."

- Thanks.- Said Geralt and went to the kitchen. The cook's snoring made more noise than Geralt's footsteps. He examined the barrels. Three were full of Fortrindian 'Imperial' porter, two had Shalakian leaf bitter in them, six small casks full of cheap, low quality brandy, and two had that what Geralt expected to find. Termigran somogon, one of the most potent liquors in the world. It smelled of rye and freshly baked bread. Gerald poured three full bottles of 1.5 liters each. This beverage was the best way to extract poison from amphibians. The poison gained this way had better healing qualities than extracted any other way. Also this beverage was Geralt's favourite.
The cook murmured something in sleep. Geralt quickly putted the bottles into his coats pockets. He also grabbed piece of ham and a loaf of bread laying nearby and sneaked away. He returned to his cabin, and putted the bottles in a cabinet near the jars with poison. Assuming that it is now safe, he removed his mask. He was now Zayl, the traitor royal apotechary and assassin of the Fortrind empire. One of the most wanted men in the world.

Simon had seen the doctor slip out of his cabin like a shadow. Most men wouldn't be able to move with such assurance and stealth, least of all a doctor. Something wasn't right about the man, the way he stood was wrong, the way he moved as well. Lightly influencing both Eduardo and Geralt's minds to make himself too unimportant to notice, Simon watched the doctor from the shadow of his cabin's door.
"What are you hiding my friend?" Simon whispered to himself, "What is it that you hid under your mask? What-" He was cut off suddenly as the door he was leaning on suddenly opened up behind him, sprawling him along the deck. His hammock flew up into the air, landing on his face. Simon's concentration broke, but neither the Doctor or Eduardo noticed anything more than a dull "Thump" as Simon's Hammock hit his face.
"Lianna... A little warning, please?..."

Geralt heard some noises outside but didn't bothered to check it. Must be a drunkard roaming around the ship. Geralt picked up a jar with white mush in it. Grinded horseradish root. One of many spices that he had in his stash. The spice was often ignored and was less favourable than mustard. He again checked the lock on the door and started eating

"Lay off the grog, Simon!" Eduardo called out. "It'll make you go blind." Eduardo chuckled a bit to his own joke and continued eating.

"I don't... Drink... Grog Eduardo..." Simon mumbled out from under the hammock's netting. "Please... stop laughing at me. This is really quite painful."

Eduardo tucked the knife and the remnant of the sausage behind his belt and came to where Simon's voice came from. He however did not stop snickering. He saw the Elf-girl standing behind Simon, barely holding her laugh in.
"Peeking at the ladies are we now, Simon. You should know that Elf-girls have quite the temperament."

Simon sat up at this, taking the hammock off of his face so that Eduardo could understand him. "Um, ahem," He cleared his throat "Eduardo, this is Lianna. Lianna, Eduardo."

Eduardo shook hands with Lianna, though he did not clamp on her hand like usually did with men.
"Eduardo Calavera, I'll be the one in charge of wasting most of the gunpowder on this ship from now on." He said with a grin.

"I see you already had the misfortune to meet Simon here." said Lianna with her hands on her hips. "Pleased to meet you Eduardo."
Suddenly a yell came from the poop deck.
"Dev, I'm not your enemy!"
"You slept with my sister!?!"
"Look she wanted it! I just gave her what she wanted!"
"ARGHHH!!!"
The man named Dev dived at the helmsman and starting attacking him. Arcturus quickly came up, but not before Dev sliced the helmsman's throat and pushed him overboard.
"And that's what you get for-!" Dev began, but before he could finish, the captain blasted his face off with his gun.
