The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

So Mermaid, who in this town would know anything about the souls?
"Well the people around here don't explore much, I think only the shopkeeps around here ever leave because they like hunting for washed up goods and selling them."
So, we should go talk to a shopkeeper then.

"Sure. There's a couple shops around here... I guess we'll go to one of my favorites first."


You enter the Crow's Nest. This sunken ship had been repurposed into a small shop, as well as a small inn. It seems most people who would stay here end up just moving into the town later, so they don't get a lot of reoccurring customers in that department. With that in mind, the two sisters running the place are very excited to see a new face.

"Yo, Mermaid, what's up? Who's the chick you got with ya?"


"Hey, Charybdis. This is my friend, Alex. We're here on a mission of sorts."
"Eheheh. Mission to buy somethin' you mean?"
"No, not necessarily. Where's Scylla?"
"Someone calling me?"


"Ohh, it's Mermaid! So nice to see you again, dear, and who's your friend?"
"Her name is Alex. Alex, this would be Scylla, the market hunter in this establishment."
"That's right, ma'am! What can I do for you?"


"We're here on a mission from Heaven. We've been sent to retrieve some little lost souls that may have fallen into the ocean."
Mermaid pulls out the little bottle and shows it to the two sisters.
"Have either of you seen any of these? Little bits of belief that swim around with a mind of their own?"


"Eh, no I haven't. I don't get outside much. You, sis?"
"Actually I think I have."
What, really? Where did you see them?
"Ohhhh, I saw a few swimmin' round in Dragon's turf..."
"How far in Dragon's turf, Scylla?"
"Like near the entrance to his cave."


"Oh."
"Yeah, I suppose he's been hoarding them."
"Oh."
"Yeah."


So... are we gonna go calmly talk to this Dragon guy or...
