Evening, Feast Time 5, village of Warton in Smorshaow. The group is in the village's shabby tavern. Chalker is questioning Mose Kintoth, first mate of the ship White Star, which is anchored 400 yards offshore. The captain's name is Loopy Stockbrand.

Chalker: "Still with me, Kintoth? Pandemonium Dagger Guild seems to have a hit out on me. Would you like a drink? Something strong?"

The bartender starts to claim he stocks nothing stronger than cheap ale, but then he pulls a ceramic jug out from behind the counter and pours out a mug of homebrew. Chalker counts the coins in Kintoth's money pouch and lays down a silver piece for the bartender. He puts the mug to Kintoth's lips; the first mate takes a large swallow.

Chalker: "What is the Captain's part in all this?" Kintoth: "He's cutting a deal between a priest, the Baron, and some wizard from up north." "The Tower Wizard? Is that who?" "yeah." "Is the wizard in town?" "No." "Your Captain's probably focused on money. Any idea what it's for? "Some long-term plan. The Captain is a need-to-know sort, very tight-lipped." "Is it on the ship?" "The Captain hasn't had time to bring it together."

Chalker: "You know a lot about me... what about her?" He indicates Shawna. Kintoth stares at Shawna, who is wiping mud and gore off of herself. Shawna: "Shut up, Chalker, I'm tired."

Chalker asks the innkeeper, Margaret, how dead bodies are taken care of in this village. She explains that there is a graveyard, and some traveling priests of Damaroth include Warton on their circuit.
