“I don’t understand what went on in there,” said Claradon as he sat on the couch in the Captain’s Den. “Is Slaayde an idiot? Even if he doesn’t believe his missing men transformed into the Einheriar, he must see the value in questioning the crew. If there are other spies or traitors aboard, next time we may not get off so easy. We need to route them out.”

Ob lounged back in a big leather chair, ale mug in hand. “Old White Hair knows all that as good as we do. Slaayde is hurt bad and that makes him afraid. Afraid his men will turn on him, and that he’ll lose his pretty little ship. That’s why he won’t back us, least not until he’s up and about and can stand up for himself.”

“So to not take a chance on jeopardizing his command, he’s willing to risk his ship and all our lives?”

“Yep, that’s about the size of it. Most men would do the same. I suppose he figures the odds of another turncoat or doppelganger is small, so he’ll take his chances.”

“So what do we do?” said Claradon, looking toward Theta. The big knight sat silently in another leather chair, an inscrutable expression on his face.

“What do you think we should do, boy?” said Ob.

Claradon looked uncertain, and paused, thinking. “I think we should take a friendly and unannounced tour of the ship. Inspect for damage, shake some hands, see how everyone i’s holding up after that battle, and all the while I’ll keep the Amulet of Escandell close, looking for any sign that it reacts when I pass any crewman. If I get a hit, we will know who to watch.”

“A good plan, Lord Eotrus,” said Ob.

Claradon smiled. “Thank you, Castellan.”

“Careful to whom you extend your hand, Eotrus,” said Theta, “or it might not come back.”

“What do you mean?” said Claradon.

“Have you forgotten that last night, half the crew, led by the First Mate, wanted to throw Dolan and the wizard in the river? If they had, things wouldn’t have ended there, and they knew it. Leaguers or not, we’ve enemies amongst us and we need to be wary.”

“The big guy has got a point,” said Ob. “That First Mate, Na-poo-poo, or whatever his name is, needs close watching.”
