Day 5: Into Azune

We made our way to a small dock not too far from the giant's corpse. Our new friend Silisia had paid for our trip on a boat that would take us to Azune. It was a rather uneventful journey. The captain had a pair of cannons though Basu, and she didn't mind flaunting them. She seemed to be in the market of ripping off outsiders and that seems to be a fairly common occurrence around here. I understand that perhaps we from the great nations are not well loved but I know that by doing such petty things they run the risk of angering someone they should not anger. Luckily Silisia vouched for us and Estall being as menacing as he is tall managed to recuperate some of the funds Hendrik had been swindled out of. I was a bit torn as he did pay, and it felt more like a mugging to get his bronze back.
 
The boat ride itself was pleasant and easy. The captain knew the waters and we got here in good time. Estall picked a fight with a "Spartan warrior". Apparently, they are some hot shit soldiers from these parts. He did look like he could kill everyone on the boat if he wanted. Can you believe this though, I tried to put Kino on my shoulders, and she didn't want to. She didn't want to be embarrassed in front of these new people. Our little girl is growing up and starting to be embarrassed by her old man. I decided to show her it was more embarrassing to be embarrassed by me though.
 
When we got to Azune we were getting tired and wanted to secure our slavers delight antidote, so we headed for the adventure's hall or bar or whatever. The bar was a mess and there was fighting going on as we entered. We had tried to get to the bar itself when some idiot challenged Estall to a fight and all hell broke loose. Hendrick tried to sidestep the chaos but was immediately smashed in the face by a chair. I attempted to help when a rather large woman decided to tackle and then throw me around the room like I was a ragdoll. Luckily Estall was able to finish up with his previous combatant and take on those that thought I was an easy target. After a while of fighting some sort of gas rolled in and knocked everyone out so I pretended to sleep along with everyone else.
 
Now get this. Hendrik, the engaged Hendrik who announces it to every woman we meet decided to hit on a girl in the bar. Rather attractive but well above his league. "You're as beautiful as she is strong." He told the poor girl. She in this case referencing that giant woman who savaged me until Estall came to my aid, so it was a halfway decent compliment. She seemed to play it well enough, but our little Hendrik has gotten quite the obsession started about her and is inviting her to drinking games and making schemes that would make those of our family proud. Anyway, after striking out, he went over to the bar to secure a drink and later a room when he realized that this woman had retired to hers. It's hard to roll your eyes in writing but I'm sure you know that I am.
 
We finally made it. After some rest we will go looking around the city. Though as no one has approached me or mentioned seeing someone that looks like me I feel as though you are not likely to be here. However, we are one step closer, always one step closer.
