The Elantra Pirates

Chapter 4

Shug fully comes down from the crow's nest to gather around all of the other crew members.

"Alright, we've arrived at Quint everyone! This is a town that the king said had a lead to where Brentha was located." Yunga announced it to everyone there. "Now, since we've docked our ship, and since this town is known for criminal activity. I'm gonna have to leave some of you guys here to guard the ship."

Yunga looks around at all of the crew.

"Every person that works with the king will stay on the ship. Along with two of the other criminals with us."

Yunga looks at Shanta.

"Shanta, you will stay, along with."

Yunga looks over at Shug.

"Shug!"

"Me?" Shug responded with a concerned look. "But I don't want to stay on the ship."

"Well next time don't daydream on lookout and maybe I'll trust you with bigger jobs. No offense, just want you to redeem yourself."

"Fine." Shug sighed.

"Guess I get to do nothing again." Shanta said with a really bored expression.

"No, you'll get to do something soon. I promise!"

"Oh, I'm not complaining. I'd rather get my freedom from doing nothing than doing the hard work."

"Ok then. Zunci, Hillanter, and I will go into town and look for the mayor and question him. Everybody got that?"

"Yes ma'am!" The deckhands respond.

"We'll be back at dark most likely. Zunci! Hillanter! Let's go!"

Yunga, Zunci, and Hillanter all hop off the boat and walk into the town.

"So? Wanna talk?" Shug asked Shanta who he was standing right next to. Shanta just walks away to the back of the ship and sits down.

"I'll take that as a no."

In Quint

Quint is a town on a cliffside on a really small island, and it consists of mainly stone buildings and also some wood buildings. Yunga, Zunci, and Hillanter are walking throughout the town, Yunga is holding a map in her hands and is looking for a specific building. They walk around the town seeing the life that people live here. Many drugged out people on streets begging for some copper or even silver. They walk by an alleyway where someone gets stabbed. They quickly walk away from the situation. They walk around the whole town looking for the mayor's office for thirty minutes.

"Where the fuck is this place?" Yunga questioned. "It's not anywhere near where the map says it is."

"Let me take a look at that!" Zunci said, taking the map from Yunga's hand and looking at it thoroughly. She is looking very confused at the map and is shaking her head. "Who the fuck made this map? This is very old, hell the layout of the town is so different from this."

"Did the king give us an old map?"

"It looks like it."

"Son of a bitch!"

"Maybe we can just ask around in there." Hillanter butted in pointing at what seemed like a tavern.

"Why not just ask one of the people on the street?" Zunci responded.

"I don't know if you've been paying attention or not, but these people are drugged out of their fucking mind. They are not reasonable here whatsoever."

"Then what does it help to ask people who are also drunk?"
