You stash the coins in your cabin and begin to head to the nearest guard post.
You decided not to take anyone with you...you want to avoid giving the wrong impression.
Crossing the final hill, you see it is close by.
Approaching, one of the guards confronts you.
"What do you want here merchant?"
" I am here to speak with the head guard here...I have something to discuss with him."
"Captain Renau is not here...you can leave a message..."
" I won't leave a message...I will talk to him directly..or not at all..."
A man exits the office.
" It's fine..let him in..."
You are escorted into a small office and a large burly man sits across from you.
" I am captain Renau...how can i help you?"
" I have on my ship 40 slaves. They were to be transported to the islands..."
"And I am to assume...that you were to transport them?"
You nod.
"Very well...guards!"
4 guards enter the small office.
"Arrest this man...place him in a guarded cell...then go find his ship, reclaim the prop...er..i mean slaves....and deal with his cargo and crew however you see fit."
You stand.
"You can't do that..they're people!"
"Slaves aren't people...they're property...and i will return property to its owner!"
The captains words surprised you..he's working with the man who hired you!
Soon after, you are jailed and a slew of guards head for your ship.
