Lessons under the sheets and under the sea

by Roshanna

After we met with the giants we informed the Watch, and also Daar charmed us in to an audience with Laurel Silverhand. We told her of what we learned and of our plans. We were asked to oversee the giants so they don’t mash the city while they do their mapping. Jay also put forward her problem with her missing friends, and the open lord divulged that she was aware of Xanathar’s mass recruiting, that it was because there was something amiss in Skullport. She hinted that if we solved that problem things might return to a more “normal” level. She warned us not to approach Xanathar himself, and for some reason, not to touch goldfish. I swear, that woman makes my knees shake. In a good way.
 
We went back to our tavern, now Lif's Joy. Daar, the ever sweet and endearing creature, asked me again for lessons on sex. I must confess I was a bit hesitant at first. I mean, I am experienced, very much so, but I'm not so sure I'm the best teacher in the matter. After all, my experiences in the matter is so far from the normal standard you could come, and maybe I'm afraid I'll hurt her, or give her a very weird picture of what sex is for most people. She's so sweet and naive, but she really knows nothing, and it's not like anyone else that I trust in the vicinity that seems interested in taking on the job. So I decided to start with the basics and teach her how to masturbate.
 
Later we decided to go to check out Skullport. After picking up a scroll from Smiling Chase, which I managed to copy into my book we went to the docks. I spotted Kruuna in the crowd, nice to see her again, she always had some entertaining gossip for me while in port. I’m happy to know that she and her kids are well, and she promised to keep a lookout for news of my shipmates.

Anyway, I finally got to use my ship-in-a-painting! I decided to call it The Unruly II and III. I hope it’s not bad luck. We went out in the bay (the hardest part was to get Jay to sit still). And then that spell took us on a wild ride! I hope to do it again, because that was fun! (I just realized that The Unruly sank again, but this time it was on purpose.) We tried to be as inconspicuous as possible - I used my standard red head human woman disguise - at first. Then we found an in. With a fighting pit. And we decided that the best way to get hired to take care of “the thing” was to stand out in the ring. I couldn’t resist. I never backed out of a challenge, and I probably never will.
