The first day I mostly spent in the room, working on different experiments. Then I went down stairs to see what Bukka was doing but I didn't see him there. I asked Linda where he was and she said he had 'other business' to attend to. I found Henric in the tavern and I talked with him the rest of the day. I would have asked Rattle and Venom if they wanted to meet him, but they were still upset about the 'lizardfolk' indecent, so I left them alone. The next day I went out and explored the markets, and bought some items to make my potions and bombs. The rest of the day, and the next, I spent in our room, working on different potions and making my bombs more lethal.

Finally, the fourth day came and the three of us for up early and headed for the docks, to were Henric told us to met him. We easily found the gillman, though only I knew, next to a schooner with his crew loading crates and boxes on the ship.

"Ah Jamada." Henric said as we shock hands."I didn't expect you to be here this early."

"I always get up early for these type of things." I said. "Especially when it come to traveling.........among normal races."

He simply chuckled and smiled. "I understand." He said. Then he looked at Rattle and Venom. "So you are the companions he's been talking about. Good to finally met you." He said as he extended his arm to shake hands.

"The feeling is mutual." Rattle said not taking his hand.

"Right." Henric said bring his arm back to his side. "Well I'm Henric."

"Rattle." He said. "And this is my brother Venom."

"Pretty simple names." Henric said.

"Yes, well it it easier for the mammals tongue to pronounce than  Sankhamukha."

"I'm not even gonna try to say that." Henric replied with a chuckle.

"So I trust we will be leaving soon?" I asked.

"Sadly no." Henric said. "My crew got a little wasted last night and didn't load everything on the ship last night. It will take us a while to get everything on board, check the ship and get it ready to sail. I'd say at least an hour of waiting, if you don't mine."

"Fine with me." I said. Rattle and Venom shrugged.

We went to the market place to waste our time away. There were still some things I wanted to buy.

I found one market stand full of alchemical items and I soon found the ingredients I needed.

"How can I help you my scaly friend?" The dark skinned human asked.

I told him want some alchemical coal, alchemical glue, ink, mrryh and some ginger extract. The man gathered the items swiftly and went to hand them to me but stopped halfway, and locked his gaze behind me. I turned around and saw he was staring at Rattle and Venom, who were looking at a stand behind me. The man was Chelaxian and was selling Chelaxian cloths. The poor man was so pale he looked like he was from Nidal. Rattle and Venom seemed to be enjoying it.

"A-are those s-ser-serpentfolk?" The dark skinned man asked still holding his hand out stretched, with his gazed locked on them.

"Uh." I said. "Yeah.....I think."

His arms and gaze were still the same when I took the items and walked off, not before leaving coins to pay for the items.

Rattle and Venom joined me as we continued through the market. I wanted to say something, but it wouldn't matter, because I knew they would do it again.

After what felt like an hour walking and looking at the stands in the market, I was about to ask if we should go when a robed man rushed past me, bumping my shoulder hard.
