Jance

Captain/Chandler Jance Galebaiter

Captain of Nalaut Dellat (tr. Difficult Woman). Trader.

Rumored to be a bastard son of a member of the Redthornes, possibly Erren because of their uncanny resemblance. The Redthornes, however, do not claim him as one of their own.

Does a lot of smuggling, for which he was sought by the Rathan Constabulary at one point. Took Vhess to M'riss. Found a Shintu and sold it to Thaarl.

Interesting post about Jance and Vhess

We were in Ratha when I first heard his gweths. A captian and a S'kra exchanging words in a tone that displayed anything but friendship. The Capt's name was Jance and the S'kra would be Vhess. Vhess was looking for a guide. He had travled to see Forlorn's hope to clear up some rumors.

I figured I was on my way, and Forlorn's hope was open to all that had to skill to enter it, so I offered my hand as a guide to em. Its better to walk closely with any potential trouble I always say. Least I would know what this battle scared S'kra was up to. Vhess is a mercenary. He sold his sword to Sskivreis. His reasoning was she treated him as an individual and not as a freak as so many others have.

So, onward to M'riss we went. Vhess had paid Jance to take him to M'riss. Just as Vhess sold his sword.... I saw an odd parrelel with Jance offerning his services for coin.

We made it to M'riss and to Forlorn's hope we went. Vhess wished to see the parchments written by a group who sold their sword long ago. The air disturbed things that layed dorment for years.... a stench grew foul in the air. I knew this was not right.

Sure enough we were attacked by black spirits carrying crossbows. AS soon as they came, they left with no sign a short while later. After things settled down I went back in and had a look around. Nothing.... as if they were never there.

Before Jance left we spoke to him a while back at Deeper's Tavern. Over a few drinks of rum and avoiding the brawling halflings Jance told us he suspected Sskivreis hired Vhess to explore Forlorn's hope for more personal matters. Something about the S'kra race in general over being a dragon priests. Anyways.. that's about it. It was an interesting little picnic to say the least. I suspect we will see more of this Vhess and perhaps some undead. Be careful when entering Forlorn's Hope and may Meraud watch over you.
