Ow! Ugh, this won’t work. I can’t finish this order with my hand in this condition.
Wait. You. You, you could finish the order for me! I think you have skill enough.
In the capital, it is tradition for officials to carry a scepter as the symbol of their office. Normally these are passed down from the previous official to the next one. However, these are… special circumstances. I suppose Leviathans don’t really care which ships they destroy. The new Deputy Minister of the Port will require a new scepter of office.
Traditionally, Deputy Ministers carry scepters of copper. Isaac can furnish you with the designs you will need, if you don’t already have them. Once you have finished the scepter, deliver it to Lieutenant Lyran Hornbelle. The good Lieutenant is stationed at the Servant’s Bridge, on the far side of the capital. She will have your payment.
Oh, this is the scepter for that new Minister? Thank you for coming all this way. I will have my men deliver it to him.
Tragic what happened to the last Deputy Minister. They say he was only out on that boat because his superior couldn’t be bothered to pay the regular port inspectors. The Bluecoats got rid of the monster, but it was too late for the ship and its crew by the time they got there.
Anyway, here’s your pay. Be careful near the shore, will you? They say something’s stirred up the leviathans lately. Usually they don’t come so close, but better safe than being bitten in half by an angry sea monster.
