Back Story

The bunk you wake up in is only 4 feet by 8 feet, with a latch door off the cargo room. It is positioned under the captain's cabin and has a row of window panes at the top of its outside wall, that match the windows above. You may lower a hatch to let in the light. You know he left for his watch. You had felt his kiss on your forehead but did not open your eyes. When you drop the panel from over the windows, you see various colored drawings on the bunk roof of fantastic creatures and gods, hand sketched. Hanging above the hatch door is a long sword and shield. Under his pillow is another of his jade handled daggers. Dukalu's sea chest sits at the end of the bunk. You immediately pull out your thieves tools and begin picking the lock, but the two nights of activities have exhausted you, and now you are at disadvantage of doing any skill. You tell yourself that you really do need to take a long rest before entering the caves the next morning. You give up picking the lock for now. However, his fur lined pouch is still sitting unprotected at the head of the bed. In it you find the wooden flute you saw last night, three jewels, some feathers, a vial of pink liquid with sparkles, and a crayon and parchment with a recent, half written love note, but most of the words have been crossed out too many times and changed to make out what it says.

You hear a loud knock on the hatch door.
