[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Iron]

"The world is too wonderful and wide to spend it needlessly around people like you. Speaking loudly and crudely doesn't make you strong, and prolonging my time around such behavior would make me stupid and weak. You have a good day, ma'am."

Vernon heads out and looks for more pleasant company. Perhaps an old timer with a lot of experience on the actual water who wants a listening ear, or someone looking to brag about their craft. He doesn't mind pitching in with the labor, either, along with his bulky Pokemon who can quite literally pull their weight.

It's getting pretty late by the time you strike out from that business, but let's see if there is any fisher or shiphand still burning the midnight oil that's willing to help.

You end up finding an old sailor lady by her lonesome, puffing on a cigar and looking rather gloomy. She was wearing a white coat and uniform of some origin you can't divine, was old, tanned, but in good Vitality, and had a long silver pony tail tucked underneath a cap of sorts.

Unlike with the rude woman from earlier, you got the sense that, while rough and seasoned, this Lady of the Seas was a more cordial sort. 

As you approached her gazes drifted over to you but she remained silent, inhaling and billowing great gouts of smoke as she patiently waited to see what a Sinnish fellow like you was bothering her for...

"Evening, Ma'am. Sorry to bother you; do you have a moment? I've recently found myself getting into raising a variety of aquatic Pokemon, including one that requires careful boating knowledge. Might you have any advice for me? I can do a little work in exchange, and some of my Pokemon can work as well. I'll take stories of derring-do, I'll take being shown around a boat, I'll take meeting salty Pokemon! Got any tales of surviving the wild storms of Sutalor?"
