==Bon Voyage/Bon Fait D'aspirer a==


Whirlwind Panther and Nellens Adanole continued their journey to Arjuf in order to link up with their crew and wait for their boat to depart to the Southern Desert. Upon reaching Arjuf, Panther and Adanole went to a rundown tavern upon which they met Sesus Buntaro, an Immaculate Child of Hesiesh and a member of the adventuring party representing Mnemon Derik. The trio sat to get some drinks, Panther getting ale, Buntaro getting tea, and Adanole getting the strongest drought available. While planning the journey, the group heard a fight brewing between a group of sailors and farmers. Panther and Buntaro went to break up the fight, but the farmers were getting ready to turn on Panther, who immediately defused the situation by drawing his swords.


After talking to the sailors, the group found out that the captain of the ship was arrested for having an illegal drug and was ostensibly awaiting execution. Adanole asked why they needed a captain when ships always have a First Mate, to which the sailor told the trio an old sailors' myth that stated "Any ship that sets sail without a captain is doomed to be sunk by a great sea beast while any ship without a female captain would merely have a rough journey." Buntaro and Panther decided to approach the ship at Adanole's suggestion to find out an estimate for when they planned on leaving. Adanole stayed behind to chat up the sailors and keep them from getting into too much trouble during their drunken stupor.


Upon reaching the ship, Panther decided to talk to the First Mate with Buntaro following. Upon getting to the First Mate's office, the pair encountered a female who declared "Don't bother trying, this job is mine." After talking for a while with the First Mate, Panther and Buntaro were told that the First Mate planned on abandoning his former Captain to her fate and was in the process of hiring a replacement Captain. The two candidates were Smiling Lion, a male Captain who only had one failed voyage due to a mutiny after being caught in a storm and Lovely Crimson Pearl, the female the pair encountered. According to the First Mate, Pearl was an incompetent Captain because she had many disastrous voyages due to her making foolish decisions or plotting courses incorrectly.


The First Mate was leaning towards Smiling Lion due to Pearl's dubious qualities while Panther wanted to have Pearl as the Captain because for the increased morale a female Captain would have on the superstitious sailors. Panther engaged the First Mate in a brief argument, which resulted in Panther's guile convincing the First Mate that Pearl would be more suitable for the expedition.

==Turn that Frown Right Side Down==

Panther and Buntaro quickly made their way back to the tavern where Adanole was hanging out with the sailors. Panther approached the sailors to tell them that Pearl was hired as the new Captain and to be ready to set sail in the morning. Upon overhearing the conversation, a rather large man approached Panther and asked him what he said, to which Panther repeated himself. After hearing that, the large man revealed his identity: Smiling Lion to him and told Panther that he'd better convince the First Mate to change his mind while several midgets busted out pogo sticks and appeared ready to fight Adanole and Buntaro. When Panther refused Lion's request, the battle was joined. The pogo midgets pulled out short swords and Smiling Lion dropped his cloak, revealing a Razor Harness.


Buntaro quickly grabbed one midget off of his pogo stick and hurled him at a midget that was harrying Adanole, knocking both midgets out of the fight. Adanole then swept the pogo stick from under the midget next to him, hurling it into the table leg. The table then flew up and brought the midget down under its weight as well as Adanole's weight after he jumped on top of the table to ride it down on top of the midget. Panther evaded a couple of attempted wrestling moves by Smiling Lion, but Panther failed to land a couple of hits of his own. Buntaro quickly grabbed the final standing midget and choked him out, leaving only Smiling Lion to stand against the trio. Smiling Lion finally landed a blow of his on Adanole, who used his training as a Falling Blossom to leap in the way of a shot intended for Panther. The punch proved only to be a minor graze to Adanole, who earned the first Lv. 3 stunt of the game by running on top of two table and then leaping off with a jump kick that carried ale mugs along with his furious wind. 


Adanole payed for his showmanship when Smiling Lion grabbed him and power bombed him through a table. Having had enough, Panther ended the fight by pulling out his swords and cutting him across the back of his knees, quickly dropping him. Smiling Lion pleaded with Panther to stop as he had enough, but Panther took very little time to humiliate Lion by taking a marker and drawing a frown on his mouth and declared him to be "Frowning Lion." The magistrate came and arrested Smiling Lion and his entourage after the bartender testified that Smiling Lion started the fight and the group was instructed to go to his office to pick up the reward in the morning. Once it was morning, the group headed to the office to get the reward, which was the right to take one possession each from the confiscated equipment. Adanole sized up the objects, and a paired set of rings and a stone seemed special, so the group took the stone, the rings, and a money pouch before leaving.
