Ships had been going missing in Torchline waters. Though much traffic went through the skyports these days, a number of vessels still plied the ocean that surrounded the continent, and a great deal of that traffic put in at Kaiholo port eventually.
But lately and most unusual throughout Longheat, there had been a number of merchant vessels lost at sea even when there had been no storms or monster sightings.
It was a Merfolk healer who had been tending to a pod of whales who brought word to Hadama of the black sails that had brought down one such merchant ship, killing or enslaving the crew, pillaging the hold, and then sinking the battered vessel before sailing off to the northwest.
They had discussed it, and it was Hadama who waited in the water beside a slim, swift looking vessel, whose prow bore the proud name “Hel’s Blessing.” He had drawn the longer straw, and it was Harper who must stay in port, in case tragedy befell the hunters and left the region leaderless.
Men and women called out to each other as they scampered up the ratlines to check the sails, or else stored rations and ammunition in the ship’s hold and on deck. A ram shaped like a curved sea dragon’s head sprouted from the prow while several canons rested in temporary slumber upon the deck. The call for volunteers had gone out and now they only waited for the final members of the crew to board before they set out to seek their prey, posing as a merchanter in the hopes of drawing the pirates to them if they couldn’t find their base first.
