Assured that the rest of Batsheva’s crew has the Mariela’s crash and the other areas managed, your group heads downstairs to where the cargo must be held. The inside of the ship is dark, with sparse lanterns burning above your heads. A strangely shaped hold lies before you; a hall, with doors presumably leading into areas designated for different types of cargo. At the end of the hall, straight ahead, is the only guarded door. They can’t hear you from here, so Batsheva addresses you all before anyone rushes ahead.

Batsheva

“Listen up, you lot.” She winces as she steps forward on her injured leg, but otherwise pays it no mind. She has an image to keep, after all. “Tis highly unlikely they are not aware of me, and thus it’s safe to assume that woman speaks nothing but lies. Whatever is held here must be worth the weight of crossing me. You all understand, yes?”

She glances at the guarded door, and makes a normal decision for once. “Let us search the open rooms first, and incite violence only when tis our last option. And–” She grins. “Feel free to take anything you find.”

Exploration is now open! This channel is for both the hallway and the upstairs, and the path channels are the various doors. You can choose to explore on your own, as a group, or try to rally everyone to work together. The length of this session depends on your guys, but if anything becomes too hard I have the means to skip ahead.

Batsheva will be staying out here for the time to address her wounds. Everyone else, act as you please! OPTIONAL OST: https://youtu.be/agkVEnZdIrs?si=UgMVBCBm5s8uA1iz

Fakir

Take anything..? :smile: So generous… but he supposes that’s how raids go- they all collect stuff and then split the spoils or something. All of their livelihoods are at steak here, so he’ll do his best to gather goods, and definitely not to satiate his own curiousity or anything of the sort!

And so with a nod, Fakir pulls his scarf over his mouth and goes to try to quietly open the second door to the left - leaving the closest ones for the others, like the gentleman he is.

Fakir heads to [path 3] !

Jesse

They’ll actually follow Fakir… they’re both kinda dressed like Navy people at the moment so might as well stick together incase the other gets shot by accident right? Hope he doesn’t mind.

Batsheva

Oh yeah Batty isn’t a fan of the outfits… but she has bigger things on her mind rn.

Jesse

If they weren’t dressed like this they would given you a first aid kit Miss Batty. RIP.
