[RPG] Family pledge

[Jamie Cheyfetz]

After the incident in Mhed, Captain Krieger had some trouble convincing his
men to keep their promise.  Some more gold was promised and they continued
south.

He sailed right past Fronepu.  Fronen's flag no longer flying at its
ramparts was sign enough that he wouldn't learn anything there.

No one wanted to attempt a landing in anything other than a walled city, so
they continued on to Fwuvoghor.  It was still flying the Republic's colours,
though they still did not take any chances.  Captain Krieger again took the
shoreboat to the docks, though with only 5 men aboard including himself.  A
hefty bonus was in the cards for that expedition.  Fetz's payment was not
going to go much farther, but he would ransom whatever he had to get Daeni
back.

As they approached the dock, they were greeted, more challenged, by a host
of archers.  If anyone was ever so happy to have 50 bows drawn at them,
Krieger would have been surprised.  The men were given leave, though the
ship was kept out at sea.  He saw too many hungry and desperate people to
dare to dock it.  Finding 7 willing men to replace those slaughtered in Mhed
was an easy task.  Finding information about screndt2 was harder.  Travel
between realms was at a minimum and he didn't have the clout to speak to a
nobleman.  He was able to find out that Enweilieos still stood and stood
strong, though.  After restocking the water, they headed back to the ship
and to Enweilieos.

Arriving in Enweilieos, they set out on the shoreboat for the docks.  This
time with a full compliment of 10 men and no extra hazard pay.  After a
similar greeting at the dock, Captain Krieger told the wharfmaster that he
had a letter to deliver personally to screndt2 Faracan.  He was escorted to
the Duke's waiting room.
