The only citizens to be seen abroad are the Š guards of the Harbour Watch who quickly approach once Š the ship is safely moored. A sly-faced sergeant Š informs Captain Jenkshi that a night curfew is in Š force, and that a mooring fee of 100 Nobels a day Š must be paid by all ships arriving after sunset. This Š is a huge charge and Jenkshi complains bitterly, but Š the Sergeant merely laughs as his protests. "Pay the Š fee or forfeit your ship, Captain," he sneers. Š Jenkshi asks that he be allowed to pay tomorrow, so Š that he may sell some of his cargo to offset the Š exorbitant fee, but the sergeant shakes his head and Š refuses his request out of hand. "The fee must be Š paid now," he growls, "and in coinage - not cargo". Reluctantly the Captain pays the Sergeant using every Š last Nobel that he possesses, leaving him with no Š money to pay his crew or purchase fresh supplies of Š food and water in the morning. He tells the crew that Š he must sell some of the cargo to raise the money he Š needs. A sale must be arranged quickly for he cannot Š afford to stay in this harbour for more than a day. Jenkshi picks a handful of his best crew members and Š tells them to accompany him ashore to help him find Š someone who will be willing to buy his copper ingots. Š You offer to help him and he suggests that you take Š half his men and meet back at the ship at dawn. He Š tells you to accept no less than 8 Nobels per ingot. Š He also tells you of two places he knows where a Š buyer for copper may be found: the Flying Fish Tavern Š and Coppersmiths Hall.
