Well, shit. When Shiver came to me in the Hangman's Noose Tavern in Dreaddrinnor talking about pirating, I assumed she meant real pirating, not slavery on a boat. I imagined I'd be shouting orders or swinging a sharp blade at anyone who dared board our vessel. I didn't think I'd be locked on a single level, forced into doing manual labor through the heavy threats of being thrown overboard. Thankfully, there was this guy I met, Snoot. He's been sticking his neck out for me and showing me the ropes. He seems like he's holding something back-something seems off-, so I'll remain skeptical as to his intentions for now.
