Stygian approaches a young sailor in the Port Hempstead docks and motions him over... "How much do you make in a month lad?" The sailor replies, "Less than a hundred true." Stygian grins benevolently and asks, "How would you like to make a hundred for about thirty minutes of labor?" The sailor looks at him with skepticism.

He holds out a small bag of coins and says, "Go to the Scamp's and spend about a half an hour asking a few of the patrons about anyone known as "The Slave Master." I want to know anything. If someone takes particular interest in why you are asking, state simply that a guy named Adder is inquiring." The sailor thinks on it for a moment and takes the coins and heads for the Scamp's. As he walks away Stygian looks about to ensure he is not seen and casts an invisibility spell on himself and follows the sailor to the tavern, intent on overhearing anything of interest...
