A bright sunrise dawned upon the Covian Bay and a sleek sloop slid gently through the waters towards Cove Docks.
"Take her in slowly Mr. Dolby! And watch those others. . . keep yer crossbow at the ready! Can nay be too careful.... not even at home."
The sloop bumped gently abreast of the docks and came to a stop.
"Drop anchor! Secure all lines and make ready to disembark!"
The small mercenary crew quickly secured the ship and lowered the boarding plank.
"All ashore whose goin' ashore!"
Captain Marcus Kobra, Junior Guardsman, Army of Cove stepped onto the docks and gave a deep breath.
"Home."
Marcus and The Drunken Covian were home.
