Late that night, Austin awakes to a small insignificant sound, to find himself confronted with a dark shadow perched on the corner of his desk. The shadow shifts slightly, lifts a flask to it's lips then laughs in a voice that is barely above a whisper.
Sorry, old habits are hard to break. I brought that map you wanted. But it isn't a good one. I had a better one back at home, so I brought it too. A match flares in the darkness, then a lamp catches light on the desk. You see a ninja, sitting on top of your desk, drinking your favorite rum, waving a careworn map around for you to see.

Austin sits upright in his hammock glares at the ninja tilts his head then approaches him swipes the rum bottle from his hand but as he takes a swig its empty he tosses it from the window
Yeah um well next time... (lighting his lantern) Knock!
He grabs a bottle from his bookshelf opens it, and takes a swig an offers it to his visitor
Now lets have a look at this map. pirate

Zell accepts the bottle, takes a long draw on it then passes it back. As he absently hands it back he hops from the desk and turning spreads out the maps. See, your map has all this open water here, but actually - he jabs a finger at an older many creased piece of vellum beside it - it is haven for all sorts of ne'r do wells. On the older map a scattering of islands, all small and scattered on the water like pebbles cast in a game.

Zel grows serious and shakes his head. Bad juju land. Seriously, Austin, that's my old master's territory. I mean I know it, but you really don't want to go there. His eyes are dark, like twin pieces of ebony and cold. There are obviously no good memories for the ninja there.

There are obviously no good memories for the ninja there. sounds like the perfect man to speak to about the location of the treasure(Austin says with cynical grin he then rushes out the cabin with the map up to the wheel the ninja remains there then he feels the entire ship turn very fast that he looses his footing it also wakes the rest of the crew) YAHA-HA-HA! blaugh pirate (shouts Austin with greed and joy)

amid the pandemonium... furniture is sliding across scarred wooden floors and dishes tumbling off the shelves in the galley, and cargo is now rolling free in the hold, all accentuated by the yelps of pain and cries of confusion, you here a plaintive voice cry out from the crew quarters....
Auusstttinnnnn!!!!!!!! What in the Lady's name are you doing!
an thin, almost skeletal, kitsune stumbles up onto the deck and stomps angrily toward the wheel... her clothes seem to be a good 5 sizes too big on her...
(the void has been eating at her... remember, but in her fox form the fur hid it...)

*Kero's coccoon splits open in his cabin, revealing an irate dragon who teleports next to the Kitsune*
What's going on here...LYSSAN! Why didn't you tell me you needed energy...
*Feeds his own life force into her, becoming skeletal himself in the process, then begins to feed her magical energy he converts to life force, drawing on his own stores of power*
There...that's all I can give you right now...I'd best call in some debts owed to me...Igniska owes me a few Emeralds worth of magic, and Some of the kami owe me Diamonds worth of life-force...maybe I can get them to repay me...

You're welcome, but don't expect that kind of help repeatedly. Voidmages are more like batteries than wires: Eventually we run out and have to be recharged.

to repay the dragon, lyssan conjures a pile of gemstones at his feet... you'll need to let them sit a bit and hide them from austin, alright... it takes a bit o' time for my illusions to take on true reality... that's so i can dispell them if i so wish... but iffin he sees them... you'll have to fight him for 'em, i'm afraid....

No repayment was needed, Ly, though these will make a wonderful addition to my hoard.
*Reaches into the Void and pulls out a sheaf of letters*
I just need to get these bills sent off.
*Throws them to a waiting Wyvern, who flies toward Elysium and various shards to deliver the notices*
