An Unexpected Meeting in the Sea Gorge of Sind
Evading the Rajahadraja's guards through tunnels under the city of Jahore, Tasya and her party carefully but speedily make their way to the end of a treacherous sewer tunnel that drops into a vast gorge. The gorge is a massive sea passage decorated with ancient carved arches and pillars, much older than the city itself.
Tasya agilely uses her legs to secure herself while she hangs her body out a bit from the sewer pipe to peer into the vast space. When she does, she sees a lone ship sailing through the gorge. The ship sails away from a dark sea tunnel through the gorge toward the daylight of Jahore's harbor.
On the ship is the most peculiar crew: a Rakasta captain, a Sindhi monk, a goblin, and a group of newly freed human prisoners of slavers who were until recently transported on the very ship they now themselves sail. One tattooed human woman has the look of a barbarian from distant lands. This unlikely crew recently navigated through the massive network of sea tunnels, avoiding bashing in to tunnel walls during the harsh incoming tide.
...
"Hold tight little one." Tasya says to her small sprite companion on her shoulder. She wraps a foot around one of the two outer ropes of the ladder, like she would do on the circus high wire and shouts, "HO THERE UNKNOWN VESSEL!"
With the air of a sailor, or possibly a pirate, Admiral, the former pirate captain of the Whisker and current pira...err...sea captain of this 'commandeered' slaver's vessel, calls up to Tasya. "Ahoy there!"
"Could you assist us?!" Taysa calls back. "We've reached the end of our rope and terrible men are after us!"
"I’ll see what I can do!" shouts back Admiral. The racasta begins calling for his crew to lower the sails and slow down the ship. He looks over his shoulder at the goblin Skeev. "What’s caught your eye, Skeev?"
...
Okay it's all you. Let's have some fun
