After returning to Genoa from Italy and collecting my reward I came to find that there were rumors spreading of a pirate that had been roaming about here lately.  The guards were growing more leary of my appearance in town so without further thought I gathered my things emptied my warehouse and hidden stashes and left town.  Not sure of where to head next my crew and I plotted a course to Tripoli taking a few nights rest and relaxiation close to land my sailors decided to fish for there dinners for a change.  Hey Im not complaining its less I have to spend to keep them happy.  I on the other hand had more on my agenda then staying aboard ship and eating fish.  I decided to head into town to see the sites and sample the beef that this town is so famous for.  Personally I thought it could use some spices but all in all it wasnt bad.  I found the merchant guild leader of the city and decided to once again offer my services as a tradesman to accomplish the goals that this city has yet to....(at an extended fee of course).  After gaining his contract I decided to take a few days rest and relaxation so i wandered over to the local tavern.  Upon entering I was greated kindly by the owner of the establishment and offered a free drink.  Now Ive come to know that nothing in this world is free everything has its price.  Her price of course was company.  Let me get this straight I get the company of a lovely woman ( a buisiness woman with plenty of money no less) who owns the local tavern (wich means Im drinking for free for the rest of my stay here).  How could the pirate in me pass this up. 

I told my crew of what was happening and they of course got a grand laugh out of this and asked that when I rejoined them aboard the ship that i bring a few barrels along for the journey.
