A Game of Cat and Mouse

You are Stansterite pirate hunters under the command of renowned Admiral Kilkax Ildun. You have been sent to the southeastern sea of Verur, just off the coast of Kazuma, on a mission of great importance. The populace of Stanster believes you are shepherding a diplomatic envoy to the nation of Bountland. Acting on top secret intelligence, however, you have been sent to capture the Pirate King of Kazuma himself: Nhyris Kazmus. Two ships were sent, believing that a small force would be best able to maneuver and be least likely to draw attention. You have been on sea for several months with little incident save for a local sea-dog or two looking to be sent to the bottom of the ocean. You make port for the night in neighboring Montabao’s Capital city of Craeg. Your spies tell you that Kazmus will set out within the next two days.There is a Stansterite spy--the halfling Kelpi Hornblower--who is supposed to meet you in the city and give you more information.
