Carlton Grey and the Though Choice of Tattoos

We continued our mission into the scorpion-house, and went upstairs looking for the girl. At first we only found some boring jewels and potted plants, but the captain finally spotted a trap by stepping on it. This was more interesting, but we could not see what it does since we did not want to wake up the guards.
Finally we found the girl upstairs, with members of the scorpion family. None of them resembled scorpions though, and there was no giant scorpion either, so I felt somewhat cheated. The captain freed the girl, and we started to leave, but the family also woke up, and we had to fight. There was a man with a sword, and a mage lady, and some others but those were quickly disabled.

We found out that they wanted to use the girl to trap the captain’s murder ghost. These guys were even worse at this stuff than us. At least we know that, you would need blond boys for that.
Anyway, we escaped through the window, although I got a bit hurt by the old sword guy. Nothing serious though, and everything went well after that. We jumped out of the window, slid down on the rope and disappeared into the city.

We left Daiking after that, and I was a bit disappointed that we could not stay longer. It seems that we run into some trouble wherever we go, and that makes it kind of hard to do sightseeing or just have a good time with the locals. The murder ghost thing is not helping much either.
On the other hand, we finally got our magic tattoos. I wanted something really amazing, like a monkey or a camel, but the guy was all out of those. He must have sold all of them, because they were the best. I could not decide what to get, so I asked Serene, and she suggested a dragon, so I got that one.

We traveled to Shark Bay again, but fortunately the ship did not get stolen yet. The captain wanted to talk with the guy who he made a contract with, so he left. Apparently, the guys did not want to help him with the murder ghost thing unless we also get them the pope. That would be quite a bad thing to do, so we agreed not to do it. Instead we are going to attack the evil shadow people to get the contract back. I hope we won’t all get murderous shadows from doing this.
