In the streets of Shriekpot...Niklas decides to do what barbarians do best, and that is to brutally break into houses and ask for directions! He finds a rather dinghy-looking hovel and goes about finding its occupants. After kicking down the door, he notices an old man sitting around in a chair, completely alone.
The old man looks at him.
"Oh dear, a raider!" he yells out. Then he smells the air.
"Oh my, an undead raider! The Necromancers are back!"He grabs a flask of oil and hurls it at Niklas!

It hits Niklas straight in the chest, making him stumble back a little and covering his manly chest in oil. Hm. Wonder what the point of that was. The old man appears to be moving quickly away from the undead fellow, going for a window from the looks of it.
On the shrieking ship of Shriekpot...Kevin, having found the Artiste to be sound asleep previously, gets back to the deck to find a nasty bonfire burning. It evokes rather bad memories, so he tries to get rid of some of the burning junk!
Seeing how the fire seems to have been made out of the remains of a barrel, Kevin has no trouble throwing all of it overboard rapidly. After that he even stomps on whatever is still smoking just to be on the safe side.
Mark and
Scott are unfortunately deprived of any firefighting action as a result. How sad. Scott still carves one of the dead fish up, and this makes him feel a bit better.
At Tailor Craig's traveling clothing enterprise...Sigmund, rather than immediately choose between two rewards, goes with the more guarded approach.
"I may ask what that handbook is about, and what make those fabrics so special, first. I have to consider both things.""Hm... a handbook of demon etiquette? Certainly seems like it would be a fascinating read, yes indeed, if I'm not mistaken on what it is about. I do agree with good Sir Sigmund, however, a little more information on both would be most wonderful, good tailor Craig.""Nothing really special about the fabrics, aside from their general high quality, though you can select a whole lot if you please. And the Handbook of Demonic Conduct is a rather wonderful text for anyone with an interest in the noble art of demonology. It lists methods of communing with demons, bargaining with them and getting away in a timely and discreet fashion should the first two fail. Very nicely written - I have three copies, myself, the one I might give you is an older edition."
