Synopsis Part 5 - The Phantom Dennis
Scotty confirmed Kaspar's deductions, and added that such anti-personnel mines were often sold in packs of 10 in the arms bazaars.
Captain Hughal told the PCs that they would be reaching Passage in about 2 hours, and that he was worried about docking. He had to dock to get supplies, but he couldn't let word fo this spread. Castille asked him to search all of the cabins thoroughly, by Hughal didn't want to offend good customers. Torn between commerce and security, Hughal asked Castille and Kaspar to investigate for him. He knew that they didn't do it because their whereabouts had been seen the whole time they were on the ship. Hughal dismissed the idea that any of the crew could or would have done this.
The PCs went out to look around, and decided to start from the bottom deck and work their way up. Their investigations led to different results.
-Brumhilde was snippy to Castille, but she let him in and spoke to him, and finally said that she itnended to get out at Passage whether the Captain let her or not, as she had to pick up something to deliver to Varda. And what that was was House Kundarak business, not his. She had heard from the crew whispering that something had happened to Vollo but Castille did not share details.
-Silas didn't want to talk, but Kaspar slammed the door in, and then Castille tried honeyed words. It turns out that Malinzar is fleeing from Wroat University with a painting that may not be legally his, but he knew nothing about Vollo, or at least seemed to know nothing.
-Gurr spoke to the PCs, and the Diplomacy check went well. A Warden of the Wood, he had been in Flamekeep on a secret mission of diplomacy with the Keepers of the Silver Flame. He was plain-spoken and honorable, and knew nothing of Vollo.
-The hobgoblin adept, Derch Sarg (and hsi bat familiar) spoke to Kaspar alone. Kaspar got him to talk, and Derch gave his opinion that everyone was lying about something. Derch chatted with Kaspar for a bit, and after a bribe of a painting (Derch likes artwork) revealed that he was originally from Cyre, but got out on The Day Of Mourning and went to Darguun, which is why he does nto ahve the Darguun accent. He does not like to share this information due to anti-Cyre prejudices, but he does not want suspicion on himself. His keen hearing had already picked up news of Vollo's death from crew chatter (or maybe his familiar did). Derch denies any connection to the activities, insisting that his mystic order has sent him around Khorvaire to investigate old religious places and texts. Derch gets Kaspar to reveal that the half-orc rogue hails from the Shadow Marshes. Derch says that the corporation that Clippy claims to represent does not exist.
After a brief consultation in the corridor, Castille casts a Sleep spell on a human porter, and our heros take the porter's key and enter the ship's vast cargo area...
