The man jumped immediately then whipped about to face her. His skin paled for a moment until Ashlyn spoke, the fear replaced with relief. All tension faded from his posture.

“I th-th-thought…You shot-t-t.” The man’s stutter trailed off then stopped.

He glanced about the alley but found only Avik stroll started to stroll toward them. Mr. Limestone gradually calmed then pulled out the small parcel in his cloak pocket. He offered it to her. It was about a foot wide and long, a few inches high. The whole surface was wrapped in butcher paper and tightly wound with a frayed cord. Wear appeared to thin where he gripped the corners. Dark wood with strange, burnt engravens peeked out through the small holes.

“This goes to Captain Stemming at the Northern Hunter’s Peak. Don’t let anyone know you have it. I can’t trust just anyone and… I don’t have much time to linger. Here is your payment” He pulled a small bag of coins from his other pocket.

Avik shot a subtle look toward Ashlyn.

Ashlyn accepted the box and the money from the man as he calmed down enough to be coherent, then proceeded to take to the rooftops and offered an arm to Avik to help her up. “No point in staying on the roads while it’s likely the angry mob is still looking for us. We should make sure the ship has been restocked, pay those that need paying, then get out of town to let calmer heads prevail.”

As soon as the Lieutenant Commander was on the roof, Ashlyn sprinted off yet again! Keeping to elevated locations to avoid busy roads and alleys to make her way back to the ship.

Avik shook her head but she took the lift up. With a sharp tugged up, she pressed her foot into the stone wall and stepped up with surprising grace. Once on top, she steadied her footing and looked back in the distance. As predicted, the Captain was right. A large mob had gathered then filtered out into the alleyways. It was a matter of minutes before they crossed onto their little gathering.

“You did shoot a tavern’s roof with a pistol. If they weren’t upset, something’s wrong with their logic.” Avik pointed out as she followed the Captain.

As they hopped and skipped from one roof to another, the dock drew closer. By the time they had made it back to the ship, the crew finished up with restock and any repairs. A stoat man with parchment book and quill wandered along the deck.

“Where’s the Captain? I need to see the Captain!” It appeared to be the dockmaster aiming to collect his fee.
