As the pirates were loading up the rowboats, they saw that the Malaia was still around.

"They mean to try to capture us, Captain." The First Mate assumed.

"Then we will take to make it difficult for them. After what they did to my ship, I won't allow them to just scoop us up out of the water." Raj said angrily.

When the War Master was finally under the waves, only three rowboats remained afloat. All three were covered with a tarp so the Privateers couldn't see who was on them, but they all looked to be full as the tarp on all of them covered around the same volume. The three rowboats were all trying to head in different directions.

"No, no...I swear." Ataff shuttered. "We've been acting alone ever since King Basil was captured."

The third pirate, who had remained quiet until now, finally spoke up with a smirk on his face. "Ataff was our ship' cook, he doesn't even know the name of the Betony Raider's main ship. You cut the wrong guy's tongue." He gestured to the injured pirate. "That one there, Shadey, was our navigator. He could've told you all kinds of things. Like where all our treasure was hidden, or maybe even information on hideouts for some of the other pirates of Basil's western fleet. Who knows." He chuckled. "Looks like he's going to die now, so too bad for you, Imperial scum."

Shadey turned his bloody face over to Ataff and the third pirate. He was panting heavy and in great pain, but he managed a red smile.

"I can't really tell you anything either." The third pirate replied. "I was just a regular sailor, working on the gun deck. You can torture me and Ataff all you like, we don't have anything of note to share. Might as well just kill us and be done with it."

"No, please! He's lying." Ataff pleaded. "We had a deal, I share what I know and you set me free. Please!"

Naerion's frenzy spells caused a bit of chaos within the Bloody Fist, but they were already charging at the Bone Masks so most of the bandits just continued to attack the pirates instead of going against their own.

The bandits were mostly equiped with iron and leather armor and wielding swords, maces and axes. Some had shields, but they were in the minority.

The Duke was an older man, looking to be in his early 50s. "I am told you are a Nelthar. I haven't seen one of your kin in person for many years. Is something the matter with our longstanding deal?"

Mamireh noticed that Jerod was quite young, not really the type of person usually sent as an ambassidor. Especially since his attire was very elaborate. Though he knew next to nothing of the Nelthar Organization and what they were like so he ignored that for now.

As they walked deeper into the cavern, the duo encountered more small bats and other smaller chambers. They found more tracks and followed it until they got to a large chamber.

As soon as Shav's fire illuminated it they saw the large white bat hanging from the ceiling.

"Looks like we found that giant bat." Lhotun said and gripped his swords in anticipation.

Shav charged a spell as the bat woke up from the light disturbing it.
