Plot:Privateer/A Hop and a Skip

Summary

The crew of the NRS Journeyman gather together for their maiden voyage as a crew. Hired by the Boggan Roger Almsley on behalf of the County of Emerald Dale, the Journeyman delivers three shipments to Panama City, Panama. During the trip the crew discovered the cannons were compromised, and usage of Chronos found that they were deliberately sabotaged and the crew of the Journeyman meant to die. Suspect, the crew investigated the crates via Primal, learning that one of them contained a person. The other two, the crew suspected, contained weapons.

Upon arriving through peaceful waters, they give their shipments to the Gwydion Three; three Gwydion knights in service to Caer Cullis in Panama City. Believing duplicity was afoot, several of the crew snuck aboard the marine ship of the Gwydion Three - finding them scared at wits end at the revelation that a person was smuggled. Quick to get to international waters, the crew awoke the person who was magically asleep - and she attacked! Not only did she attack, she fled with the weapons causing ire from the Gwydion Three. The Journeyman managed to save it's crew, and return home.

En route to home, the Journeyman was attacked by the Creeping Star - a pirate ship. After a decisive battle and boarding the ship, the captain, Tamar Salazar, was taken prisoner. The crew of the Creeping Star negotiated with the Journeyman to take their plunder and the captain and leave them with the ship. The crew agreed, taking the plunder with them back to Prospect.

Completing the assignment (regardless the foibles involved), Roger Almsley released the promised Dross and after the County of Emerald Dale took it's share of the plunder, the remaining share was left for the crew to distribute among themselves.

Afterwards a few of the crew travelled to Emerald Dale to interrogate the prisoner, Tamar Salazar, to find out who attempted to have them killed. Tamar, much like them, was a fall guy - a patsy with little information. Eager to make a big score on Concordians, Tamar heard rumor of a valuable shipment going from California to Panama City - rather than being hired by a specific person. Realizing the shadowed menace is more sly than they expected, and learning the location of where Tamar heard his rumors, the crew left Tamar to his fate and prepare for their next Job.
