He just couldn't get their assault on the town of of his head. There was something about it that didn't sit right with him. Since when do pirates wear cap...

Re: On the road (D&D 5E IC)

Kaine was slowly lowering the pirate from the roof on a rope bound around his ankles. His smile at the quickness the others had captured or taken down the other sea dogs with.
