Pre-launch Compliactions

Devlin and Coreen stood at the deck of the Ravenstorm. The bookkeeper had just informed the half-elf that all the Boromar merchandise had been loaded and secured.

"You should have asked Popora to pay us five thousand in advance," Corren purred as she followed Devlin's gaze down at the docks. She saw the tiny form of Zonnos confidently striding out like he owned the port.

"You know this just covers our payables and debts," the bookkeeper said as she pretentiously waved goodbye at the halfling lord. "We still need to stock up on our supplies."

"I know you can stretch the leftover money for a few days," the wizard replied as he brought out a scroll from his handbag. "You're good at it."

"I'm a bookkeeper, not a miracle worker," Coreen quipped. She then noticed the scroll on Devlin's hands. "Please tell me you got a loan from the Kundarak bank."

"No," Devlin answered. He unfurled the scroll and handed it to the bookkeeper. "Something else."

Corren quickly scanned through the contents of the document. "Angela Krin d'Lyrandar?" She muttered as soon as she reached the end of the scroll.

"That's what the scroll said," the wizard muttered as Coreen handed the parchment back to him.

"Angela your cousin?" Corren asked, her eyes gleaming with curiosity. "The same Angela who was supposed to be your wife..."

"She's not my cousin," Devlin quickly defended. "She's a very very distant cousin."

"This is the same girl whom the House Lyrandar elders arranged for you up to marry?" Corren asked, trying to hide her smile. "To protect and strengthen the Lyrandar bloodline."

"It wasn't meant to be," the wizard angrily retorted.

The bookkeeper crossed her arms and leaned over the ship's railing. "Are we going to have problems going in and out of Regalport?"

Devlin scratched his chin. "That'll depend on how I deal with Angela."

Corren sighed and patted the wizard's shoulders. "Then we'll have to go there and talk to her," she answered. "You ready to go?"

Devlin looked at his assistant and nodded. "Let's go finish this job."
