(@Red: We've had a timeskip so you should do an update on the Malaia crew's situation. The ship was damaged in the fight so they do need to stop somewhere to fix it.)

The Imperial Navymen followed Jarnus didn't talk much, they were disciplined enough so as not to chit-chat on the job.

The party silently led the Orcs towards the Whitefort...that is, until they exited the docks and made it to the village proper. When the villagers spotted the Orc prisoners they began to move out into the streets and crowd around Jarnus and his men.

"Fucking greenskins!" A villager shouted at them.

"Damn you all to Oblivion!" Another yelled.

One threw a rock at Captain Shelakh, hitting him on the arm.

Shelakh shouted curses right back at them. "We will wipe your damned village from the face of Mundus and take back what is rightfully ours! We will spare no one, not your husbands, not you wives, not even your children!"

"Curse you you bloody barbarians!" Another village shouted and followed the example of the last, throwing a rock at the Orcs.

The people of Betony really hated Orcs and they were crowding around the Imperials and their prisoners. The situation was rapidly escalating as both sides swore and shouted at each other.

King Cassander's detachment walked into the Whitefort with the young lordling. They were met at the courtyard by the Lord of the castle himself.

"Edgard, my boy!" the Lord called, relief and happiness in his voice.

"Father!" Edgard yelled back. He would've run over to hug his father...but he couldn't on account of his injury.

King Cassander strode towards the Lord. "Lord Gaston, I have retrieved your son from his refuge in Herne and seen him safely home."

Lord Gaston finally turned to face his king and bowed. "I can't thank you enough, your majesty. I..."

"No need to thank me, I was just doing my duty. It is a king's job to keep his people safe." Cassander said humbly.

The Knights of the Dragon helped Edgard walk towards his father and his court.

The Roderon pirates spent the rest of the day and the night docked at their current pier. When the sun came up, a worker from the shipwrights' warehouse came onboard to inform them that they had a vacancy. "You'll need to hurry, before any other crew take the spot, then you'll need to wait even longer before getting your ship properly fixed."

Quintus and the others headed towards the Cygnus Piers.

There were three warehouses near them, housing goods owned by the trading company. A lone galleon, the same one that Evalana had shot at, was docked on the piers. There were spots for another 6 ships, but none of them were currently at the piers. Other than the two that were stolen, the other 4 were likely out on trading expeditions.
