Mentioned you did, but certainly with the tail rather than the teeth!" The Quartermaster said with energy. He had bounced back and was now more invigorated than ever. Through both the experience and the affect of it he felt sharper and less bogged down from keeping things from the Captain. He felt both relief and curiosity. He then saw her looking out over the boat and towards the coast. He had seen the look on plenty of men and women in his time and it caused him to step forward and put a hand between the elf and the water. 

"You would never make it." he said with a somewhat grave tone. "There isn't a man aboard this ship that could swim. The waves will crush the air out of your breath and even if you somehow manage to get past some break the beasts that meet you in land and sea both count you as a snack at this point. They were no longer within the waters of protected ports and harbors. Here there weren't just monsters, but monstrosities.

When the women explained her ignorance around a Blood Agreement it gave Bart a moments pause. They were fairly common so wherever she had been before must have lacked a lot of business. Perhaps somewhere more rural or more encased within. Still there was no harm in drawing her up on that around her. "A Blood Agreement is a magical contract the captain signs with the Guild. It requires him to, to the best of his ability, protect and transport the cargo listed on the paper to its destination. Any harm that befalls that cargo will in term harm the ship." 

The Quartermaster gave the ship a strong strike with his hand as he continued. "Now of course if a person of their own will decided to do harm to the captain or others their side of the contract is broken. But should he fail in his duty then the magic stone at the bottom of the ship could obliterate the entire hull." He then tapped the deck with his foot. "Of course these are starting to come out of style. Though at one point no one would board a vessel without such contract. During those days captains and ships were known to rob and kill passengers." 

"I hope we have proven to be no such crew and captain." Bart said hastily as he realized the horror of someone bringing this up. "The Guild and the Captain have of course gotten more detailed in the contract, but the general rule is it intertwines his fate with his passengers and cargo. Course he has no need for it. Captain has moved hellfire and waters scorn to protect anyone on this ship. Just like his father and mother."
