Badly winded by the fall, you have difficulty in Š standing and are barely able to rise to your knees. Š Instinctively, you reach to your weapon. You are Š feeling vulnerable and are fearful that the crew of Š this trader may attempt to throw you overboard before Š you fully recover your senses. Yet to your surprise Š you hear that they are cheering. Your daring escape Š from Sesketera's guards has impressed them immensely. + + A tall man with wavy grey hair takes you by the arm Š and helps you to your feet. He hands you some coins Š that fell from your belt pouch when you hit the deck, Š and you thank him for his kind assistance. You notice Š that he is wearing the five stripes of a merchant Š captain of Siyen on the sleeve of his blue jacket. + + "You must o'ruffled Sesketera's feathers good and Š proper for him to 'ave turned 'is guards on you like Š that," he says, with a wry grin. Then he faces his Š crew and says: "Anyone who can achieve that can't be Š all bad, eh lads!" + + The crew cheer again. It is plain by their reactions Š that they are glad to be leaving Ghol-Tabras and its + tyrannical ruler. The Captain hands over the running Š of his ship to his bo'sun and then he helps you to Š his cabin where he pours you a reviving draught of Š Siyenese ale. This brew has a peculiar grey-green Š colour but it tastes delicious. You soon learn that Š you have jumped aboard éThe Seaspriteé, a Siyenese Š merchantman under the able command of Captain Š Radyard. It is carrying a cargo of fine wool and Š linen and is bound for the port of Masama on a voyage Š that should take eight days. Radyard had expected to Š sell half of his cargo in Ghol-Tabras market, but the Š heavy mooring charges and the unfriendly mood of the Š natives there had prompted him to make an early Š departure. His native homeland - Siyen - has traded Š with Sommerlund for centuries. Radyard much admires Š your land and its people and he is happy to allow you Š to stay on board his ship. You are thankful for his Š hospitality, but you feel you should offer him some Š form of payment for your passage to Masama. + + + If you possess the Siyen Crown, turn to â333â + + If you do not possess this Special Item, turn to â123â
