1. a small grey hamster<br>
Light and dark-stained bookcases line the western edge of the large shop, shelves housing a variety of nautical instrumentation, while the eastern wall is filled with several plush bunks adorned with heavy velvet drapes. A gold and crimson knotwork carpet stretches across the floor, providing a colorful backdrop to the chairs and tables on display. Discreetly placed to one side, a small counter has a ledger, an ink vial, and a quill resting upon its leather-bound ink blotter. A <span class="mw-customtoggle-exterior" style="color:#0000ff">small door</span> blends into one wall. You also see a captain merchant and a wooden plank sign.<br>
2. The hamster's fur is a uniformly grey color, save for a single black spot covering his left eye.<br>

The glaesineth-enclosed deck has a <span class="mw-customtoggle-entrydoor" style="color:#0000ff">small door</span> leading into the shop and a <span class="mw-customtoggle-gangplank" style="color:#0000ff">brass-edged koa gangplank</span> climbing up to a second-story door.

An anchor-topped coil of <span class="mw-customtoggle-rope" style="color:#0000ff">hempen rope</span> sits neatly in one corner, the anchor polished to a high sheen. Painted onto the artfully sea-weathered wood of the wall is "Welcome to the Dire Ebon Vengeance!" with a <span class="mw-customtoggle-bell" style="color:#0000ff">brass ship's bell</span> hanging next to it.<br>

2 This caricature of troll-kind remains roughly humanoid, but at nine inches tall, something has gone terribly wrong with the troll's regenerative cycle. Dark green and covered with ugly warts, it hardly seems threatening, even with razor-sharp claws. Both arms are long enough to reach the ground, but one ends in a comically oversized fist which it drags along behind.
Beneath the anchor and almost hidden within the coils of rope is a deep basin filled with sea water acting as a manmade tidepool. A handful of rocks provide hiding places for tiny crabs that scuttle about, and a small eel coils within the waving tentacles of a bright amethyst sea anemone.<br><br>

2.This creature is clearly a member of the shan race, though perhaps a year of age. It stands upright on its hind legs like a humanoid would, displaying its soft coppery fur with pride. The kit's eyes gaze intelligently at it's surroundings, sniffing occasionally to better understand its environment. It wears a monocle lens over one eye and a merlot-hued waistcoat over its torso.

Strings of wooden beads hang from the <span class="mw-customtoggle-stern" style="color:#0000ff">aperture</span>, densely clustered to block all but the most significant of winds from passing through.

5.The sleeping shan kit's monocle slips from his face. Unconsciously, the kit gathers it back up and places it precariously into its previous place.

His skin is a pale pink, except for two irregularly shaped black spots that match his tightly coiled black tail and small, floppy ears.

[Sailor's Solace]
Light and dark-stained bookcases line the western edge of the large shop, shelves housing a variety of nautical instrumentation, while the eastern wall is filled with several plush bunks adorned with heavy velvet drapes. A gold and crimson knotwork carpet stretches across the floor, providing a colorful backdrop to the chairs and tables on display. Discreetly placed to one side, a small counter has a ledger, an ink vial, and a quill resting upon its leather-bound ink blotter. A small door blends into one wall. You also see a captain merchant and a wooden plank sign.
Also here: Grand Lord Yavs
Obvious exits: out

Yavs softy says, "Please, look around."

[The Vengeance, Docking]
The glaesineth-enclosed deck has a small door leading into the shop and a brass-edged koa gangplank climbing up to a second-story door. Small openings at the top of each wall let in the sea air, and their transparent nature allows an unfettered view of the dunes and ocean. An anchor-topped coil of hempen rope sits neatly in one corner, the anchor polished to a high sheen. Painted onto the artfully sea-weathered wood of the wall is "Welcome to the Dire Ebon Vengeance!" with a brass ship's bell hanging next to it.
Also here: High Lord Kwys

The door is open.

>l gang
The stylized gangplank has gleaming brass accents lining each edge. The cut and polish of the koa highlights the reddish-brown and pale-hued patterns in the wood. Secured to the wall of the structure, the gangplank leads up to a matching door.

Kwys softly says, "I was instructed to watch the door."

>l rope
Beneath the anchor and almost hidden within the coils of rope is a deep basin filled with sea water acting as a manmade tidepool. A handful of rocks provide hiding places for tiny crabs that scuttle about, and a small eel coils within the waving tentacles of a bright amethyst sea anemone.

Kwys softly says, "My brothers are somewhere in this... place."

>tap bell
You tap a brass ship's bell, ringing it softly.

[The Vengeance, Main Cabin]
Several small bull's-eye windows set at regular intervals line the outer walls, each outlined in gleaming brass. The area resembles a ship's cabin, complete with an aperture leading to the west, and a silver and brass hatch with a discreet teak ladder in the ceiling. Centered over a rattan couch is a narra-framed oil painting, and a sextant hangs next to a highly figured koa door. Intricate marquetry in koa, teak, mahogany, and narra depicts a giant kraken in the middle of the floor.

Strings of wooden beads hang from the aperture, densely clustered to block all but the most significant of winds from passing through.

The Sinking of the Dire Ebon Vengeance

[The Vengeance, Stern]
Sunlight reflects off the gleaming brass railing lining the spacious, pointed balcony, and a sturdy koa and brass telescope occupies a break in the railing at the far point, allowing it to swivel across both island and sea. Hanging from the wall on one side of the aperture leading inside is a carved ivory dart board. A lacquered koa cupboard rests beneath it, a frosted glass pitcher on top pushed into the shade. The humidity hangs heavy in the air, the tang of salt on the nigh-perpetual ocean breeze.

Standing on three slender legs which have been securely fastened to a flattened precipice overlooking the cliff's edge, the slim copper telescope is delicately wrought and bears accents of knotwork filigree.
