When last we left our heroes, they had set off to discover the whereabouts of the missing Koikonnen diamond, and perhaps to recover it. Having overheard a promising lead, but one which the town guard were unwilling to pursue, Roulette “Ace” Diaz and Mason “Mayo” Hashbrowns headed to the docks of Titan’s Gate to see to the lead on their own. We rejoin them there, where they’ve brokered passage on a ship called The Mirador, captained by one Pete Geivoda, a former crew mate of Mayo’s. With the crew bustling to prepare the ship, Mayo takes the opportunity to scour the docks for loose coin and Ace asks the captain about his crew.
Captain Pete calls his top officers to the deck to meet Ace, and they assemble. “My First Mate, Cecile, you’ve met already,” says Pete, indicating the black-and-bronze dragon woman. Next, he points to an extravagantly dressed halfling man. “This is Mr. Greggor Brigidson, cook and morale officer.” Just then, a young half-elf woman lands light-footed on the deck. Not skipping a beat, the captain introduces her. “Ms. Amy Wang, navigations and lookout; she may be young, but she’s capable.” Finally he points to an impatient-looking dwarf woman with giant darkened goggles and soot wiped across her brow. “This is Officer Beatriz, Daughter of Freya, munitions and demolitions,” the captain says.
