Deciding the Drowned Lurker is your best bet you make your way towards the brightly lit building, the sound of the planks beneath your feet creaking and groaning as you walk accompany you all the way to the door where it is quickly blocked out by the music, laughter, and conversations coming from inside. Pushing the door open you step inside to find a rather massive room beyond, a few dozen people sit at the various booths, tables, and benches spread across one side while the other is taken up by an old jukebox machine and the bar itself behind which stands a woman who looks to be in her late forties. Her face is somewhat wrinkled and bears a number of scars slashed across the left side, and her hair and eyes seem to be matching shades of dark grey that looks almost black.
You walk over to the bar and ask for a room for a few days, the woman looks you up and down before speaking,
"A room for three nights will cost you eight bullets since you don't seem to be the type to have anything else on them, as a warning if you start any trouble in my bar I'll tear your skinny little head off and mount it on the wall next to that Croaker's over there. Ah, and by the way the name is Olga Votskiv, keep what I said in mind."
A bit perplexed by what the woman said you take out eight of your 10mms a place them on the bar before turning and walking over to where the booths and tables are. You sit down at an empty booth and place your gun up against the wall settling into wait, after about ten minutes a young woman places a bottle of whiskey on the table and a glass, when you ask what its for she says the owner wanted you to have it as a welcoming gift. Sitting back to relax you listen to the people around you as you casual take sips straight from the bottle having pushed the glass over to the side a long time ago.
As you sit listening you learn a number of things, for one the townsfolk, miners, and the like are pretty quick to mention most of their problems when deep under the influence of alcohol, besides that you learn a few major things. First off it seems a pair of miners disappeared in the Rock Mines on the plateau above, no one is quite sure what happened though most seem to blame it on a cave in, collapse, or the like while you do here a few whispers that it might have been something of a more supernatural inclination. The second thing you learn that some group called NorthCal Mining Union had a small group of miners in town, they would apparently be setting out at the end of the week with a load of ghost rock and raw ores and they were looking for some mercs to guard them along the way.
Finally, rumor has it that some pirate has been raiding up and down the northern parts of the Great Maze recently to great effect, rumor has it that its a ship commanded by a skeletal pirate crew and others say its a single man unleashing foul powers on unsuspecting citizens. All that they knew for sure about that was the pirates' past few raids were close to Port Royal and seemed to be growing closer.
Its not long before you can see the sky begin to brighten, by that time most of the Drowned Lurker's patrons had long since left and gossip had dropped to nothing as the remaining folk have long since been drunk to the point of being incoherent. Pushing yourself up from the table you ponder what to do next, you could go straight to the town hall, visit that Curshank's store, ask around about the goings on in the area, or anything else really since by the look of it you still got an hour before that fellow comes checking to see if you picked up your job yet.
