You looked at the slaves then to the five men you brought with you, your men looked back at you you thought for a second then said "bring them to the ship." The slaves dropped their eyes as your men began to move towards them. Your men slung their rifles off their shoulders to guard the women as they began to walk out the large double doors. you walked over to the maid and said "I believe there was the matter of payment."
"Yes, it's right there." she said pointing to a bag on a table by the door "my master said to take the slave to the island of Arthen do you know where it is sir?"
"yes I do." thinking of the stinking island commonly known as a bandit hideout with disgust. "I'll just be leaving now." you said as you began to walk out the door grabbing the bag as you walked when the maid called "good luck sir, and blessings upon you."

At your ship your second mate walked up to you and said "Sir we aren't really taking them are we?"
"of course not Herald." said one of the five men who you'd brought with you to pick up the slaves. "right sir?"
"damn straight." you said "we're taking them to the guards, and I'm certain the captain of the guard will love to know that slave trading is going on here. in the meantime keep these ladies here and don't let anyone else on the ship, everyone got that?"
"YES, SIR!" the crew replied. you began to move towards your cabin to stash the coins you'd 'found' on the street.
