The Black Sphinx
The Black Sphinx is a ship with a reputation for attacking slaver ships and pirate ships, to free the slaves. Many of the crew are ex-slaves and have chosen to continue helping others that are in the position they have been freed from.
Captain - Topiary Fritz
A halfling man covered in new tattoos and wearing a captain’s robe several sizes too big for him. He was once the servant of a large military ship, but once the ship changed hands he just continued to work. He is incredibly kind, hardworking, and an incredibly competent chef and servant.
First Mate
A seemingly timeless elf-ish man, though it’s hard to tell he’s an elf. His hunched back, yellowed fingernails and eyes, and wrinkled leathery skin almost looks monstrous from a distance. Speaks in a slurred Primordial that, even when understood, is not properly understood. He’s never been asked on the ship, and he always complains about ‘poor spoils,’ without ever asking for them. At port, he gets off the ship with the rest of the crew, and wanders back onto another ship, with no regard for loyalty of crew. Mediocre at washing, but entertaining, unique, and most importantly: free labour. However, captains are cautious of him, and some seem to listen exceptionally intently to his ramblings, sometimes even going so far as to invite him to sleep his ship duration in the captain’s quarters. Occasionally after a long night of slurred ramblings, captain’s may abruptly change their course, asking advice from the old crouch. Rarely do they find anything… that they speak of…
Hiring for Travel or Sending Goods
They will take people at a cheap rate, mainly because they will abruptly take on any pirate ship or slaver ship they see even if they have customers on board. Can't complain if it's cheap. As a result they have a high rate to send goods through, but they always deliver.
Armor and defense
The crew is well trained to take on man or beast on the seas.
