(You can have the Bonemasks arrive at their destination.)

With Vander bound, Mujib's party headed back to Fort Cyrus.

Jerod got back to the Fort before the Mujib's patrol did.

When he got there he found a good deal more soldiers than he had seen last time. It seemed like Captain Abdul was mustering his men, to get them ready to hunt the pirates.

When the guards saw the lad coming, they opened the gates for him to get inside.

Abdul was in the courtyard, ordering soldiers as they armed themselves. He spotted Jerod and approached him. "Ah, bounty hunter. Where you able to catch up to Cirroc and Mujib's party?"

Lhotun, Deros and Shav got onto the rowboat and moved to the pier where a number of rowboats were tied. They left Juunei in charge of the ship while they were gone.

"This grotto used to belong to the Blackbloods, back during Hargar's time. He must be dead by now, that was 40 years ago." Shav noted. "From what I heard, the grotto has since been taken over by the Flame-Hair Pirates. They set up this black market here."

"The Flame-Hairs." Lhotun knew about them. They were the leading pirate group in the Sea of Ghosts. They were the Northern Commanders of King Basil's Pirate Alliance, so many other pirate groups answered to them.

"We're still small, so we should try not to pick a fight with the other crews. Especially the Drowned Men and the Blackbloods. The Blackbloods serve under Commander Freydis now, so picking a fight with them is the same as picking a fight with her." Shav told them.

Lhotun and Deros nodded, though none had any intention of picking fights in the grotto.

They left the rowboat, tying it to the pier, and headed into the marketplace.

There were dozens of stalls and small shops set up in the cave, fences for selling stolen goods taken by the pirates.
