The Eriphyle's captain speaks

"All right men, that'd be some smooth sailing. Poseidon's gaze is smiling upon us and let's do everything we can to please him. Axiallus, thank poseidon for your hard work in steering us clear from the monsters that attacked the calypso and the odyssey. We will make the gods proud of us yet!
However, ChinDoGu has adviced me to take on extra supplies so that we can continue to make sacrafices to Poseidon. Therefor we will dock the isle of ismarus and resupply.

I would like to ask our fiercest warrior, Joranj, to choose his men to stand and guard the ship while Chindogu, Axiallus and a few others will escort me to the market. We will negotiate for acceptable prices and then carry the goods back to the ship. Some of the goods we've taken from Troy are in demand here so we should be able to increase our supplies easily.

The men not named yet will have three days of freedom in the city to spend as they like.

Meanwhilst I would like to see some order on the ship. After the brawl last night, I demand a quiet working environment. Octave, as a punishment for throwing somone overboard, you will be scrubbing the deck. I want to see my reflection in the deck when I come back. "

As Dunam sits in his own cabin he ponders the decisions he made. Octave had acted to save another and threw a cheating scumbag off the ship. However, Dunam could not let any transgression go unpunished, no matter how much he sympathised with the act. Already the men he thought landlubbers were outgrowing Dunam's expectations. Some of them surely would be heroes during hard times. And there were hard times ahead yet....and in his limited experience Dunam only hoped he would lead his men through them.
