Hate's Fury Setting Sail (Incomplete): "a shady merchant" may be found at -460, 1900, -160 in the Crypt of Nadox.

You say, 'Hail, a shady merchant'

a shady merchant says 'You there! You look like you could use a bit of [work]. If you're interested I have something that you might find very. . . lucrative.'

You say, 'What work?'

a shady merchant says 'My employers have been enjoying quite a bit of success lately with their operations and wish to continue them uninterrupted. However, these operations have been put in jeopardy lately. Those stinking [pirates] are thinking of shipping off again to resume their raiding of Faydwer and Antonica.'

You say, 'What pirates?'

a shady merchant says 'It's no less than the Hate's Fury that is heading out again. You can't even imagine what a ship like that can do to the operations of my employers. We have come up with a solution, or at least a way to prolong our profits though, if you're willing to [help].'

You say, 'I will help.'

a shady merchant says 'Excellent, the plan is a simple one, in concept at least. The ship needs a navigator in order to be successful in its raids. If we can eliminate the navigator of the Hate's Fury she will not be able to leave until they can conscript a new one. There's been a small [complication] though.'

You say, 'What complication?'

a shady merchant says 'The captain and his officers are a fairly vicious group, they are pirates after all. Because of this there is a high turn over rate on the crew. The last navigator for the ship met a rather grisly end. They recently obtained a new navigator, but we have not been able to discover who that is so far. This is where you come in, if you're still [interested].'

You say, 'I am interested.'

a shady merchant says 'We need you to venture onto the ship, find out who the navigator is, where he is located, and slay him if possible. Now get going and don't come back until he's dead!'

a shady smuggler says 'Hmph, so you're going to stop the Hate's Fury from sailing? Well at least it will be entertaining to watch them wash your blood from the decks. Let me know when you're ready to [board the ship].'

You say, 'I am ready to board the ship.'

a shady smuggler says 'Off we go, I'll be waiting for you when you're done. . . If you're still alive that is.'
