Carlton Grey and the Lady in Red and also on a Frigate

Now that we had our ship back, we wanted to go and rescue our crew as quickly as possible, but we could not, because the Kieran ship we saw earlier found us. We thought about running away again to the safety of the sharks, but they had a wind mage too, so we could not.
They approached us, and demanded, that we give them our ship because we are pirates. I always thought, that it was supposed to go the other way, although I am not a very experienced pirate yet.

Their captain was a very pretty lady named Serrene, who was quite friendly to me, but seemed to have some sort of grudge against Cortes. Maybe she tought that he was the reason of our pirating ways, with his missing eye and wounded hand. We were lucky he did not have a parrot, because that would had made him even more guilty-looking. The nice lady also said, that she was waiting for me her whole life. She should have sent some letters or something about it, because I had no idea about this.

I tried to talk to her about letting us go, or at least letting us save our crew before she arrests us, but I could not, so we had to fight again, which was starting to get really boring.
Things got confusing quickly. Sira shot some marine with her pistol, the enemy mage shot Krastus with lightning, I shot the enemy mage with Grandpa and then Krastus shot the marines and the nice Lady with his wind magic. I was afraid he would kill her, so I went to her and asked her to stop fighting and she did. Serrene really is a nice lady.

After we were friends again, Heléne healed her wounds and we decided, that we would trade ships with the kierans. I did not know why, I mean we just got our ship back, but maybe it was because Sira still did not trust the mast. She was right about it before, so I thought it was best not to question the decision.
Anyway, the others handled the stuff required for the ship change, while we explored the new ship a bit with Serrene. I had a lot of questions for her, but every time I opened my mouth she put her tongue in there, which was even better than talking, so I stopped trying to.

The next day we went to town again to see the slave pits, but we could not find our friends. It turns out, no one wanted to buy them so they gave them to some monkey-people. At least they have experience with that, so it won’t be confusing for them. I was sort of excited about seeing giant animal things again, but it was a bit disappointing, that Serrene had to stay with the ship, so I could not share the experience.

We hired some tracker-lady, who helped us find the monkeymen, and our crew. It turns out these guys were more into snakes, and there was quite a lot of them. We tried to fight, but we were getting kind of overwhelmed. At least we got to see their giant snake-thing, so it was not all bad. I don’t know how we will get out of trouble this time tough, maybe we will need Serrene to save us all.
