Getting into Absolom

Arrived in Absalom for the third time this morning, I always seem to forget how lousy with fallen frigates their docks are, had an old friend Gorn accompanying me for the last leg. It's been a bit of a somber boat ride, the sailors have been to busy to say much, and Gorn, good a lizard as he is, in't much of a conversationalist. But we got to the pier, and got my trunks unloaded and Sareen, creepy little fortune-teller that one, found us at port. Had her man Hulo carry my bags to the Inn, and waited their for the fellows to show up.
 
Wasn't long before Maldor, and Braxton got into the inn. Apperatly they've taken residence on the other side of Korthos island, and didn't have to sail into that murderous harbor, lucky devils. Chran crawled out of a corner of the bar, but I'm not sure from where, and the big guy, Saliab, is nowhere to be seen, and Seleen and Hulo. We spend a few hours drinking, and enter a story telling contest. I think I read the room poorly and went to high concept, but Maldor, and little Chran both walked away with prizes.
