==STORY SEQUENCE==

It was night when the Sangue-Padre docked at Callagar Port. However it was clear to see that a pall of gloom and darkness hung over the once lively town. It was common to see night-time flea markets and bazaars set up alongside the docks to welcome travellers at all hours of the day, yet the streets were quiet and grim.

"Keep yer eyes open, yer eyes and mine can see better in the dark," Chenbeard whispered to Angel.

"Aye Captain," she replied as she took to the skies to scout the town.

"Lorien, can ya hear anything?" the Captain asked the Elf.

"Nay Captain, everything is dead. There is no sign of a festival or any other disruptive activities going on."

"If I might offer my opinion sir," said Lieutenant George standing alongside his Captain, "I suggest we ready our weapons in case we start getting hammered."

Captain Chenbeard raised his hand and ignited it with blue spirit fire as he summoned his katana "Red Queen", it was a sign that all pirates ought to be ready for battle.

"This place smells ill of death," said Aslansa stepping out from below deck, "My demons are hungry for its scent."

Chenbeard scratched his chin. "I think we'll need information, it would do no good to skulk around unaware of what is going on."

"Captain!" said Angel, returning from her scouting flight, "there is something you need to be aware of."

"What is that Angel?" he asked her.

"I saw rats, the same type as Kalkarr the Rat Fist Master, they were dragging a human child away into the shadows!"

"This day is gettin' interestin'," said chenbeard in response.
