Chapter Type: Character Development, Background
"Gamilla," I asked, "What is the current status of our crew?"
"Those that remain are causing problems at the inns and nearby taverns."
"Restless, then. How many of them remain?"
"Perhaps twenty percent. If I hadn't already paid for both inns, I'd consolidate them into the one."
"What is the exact number?" I asked.
She rifled through her papers, slapped one onto her table. "There. Last week's accounting for who is here and what they did in the old crew."
I browsed the document. "This… is sad. So all of our crew with a full year or more experience has left us?"
"Anyone with skills useful to another vessel has left for that vessel." She confirmed.
"Gamilla, Harvest Week is next week. When in Spring will the repairs to the Outrage be completed?"
"Six to eight weeks, but we'll still be in harbor until the spring storms break."
