The two rogues fled and the half-orc was killed. The stall holder thanks them but warns that the Cartel now has them marked and "every rogue, thief and common thug with enough coppers to buy a rusty dagger" will be after them. He says they should see Captain Jack at the Jellied Eel Inn.
The Jellied Eel is by the docks and frequented by sailors. The innkeeper is called Raith and he says that the Jack will be around in the evening.
The party wait for Captain Jack Tyron. Jack turns up flamboyantly dressed with two long dirks on his belt, his heavily armed crew crowds in after him.
Jack asks the party to retrieve a box from the harbour master's office in exchange for his co-operation again the cartel.
The party initially approaches the harbour master who says that Jack's goods will be released after a payment of 45 gold and 93 silver. That night the party break into the warehouse, disabling the alarms of the windows and drugging the guard dogs.
They return to the Jellied Eel where they discover the box (which is filled with strange metal ingots) is for Miranda. They agree to deliver the box in the morning. They find rooms at the Silver Hind inn on the market square.
