Synopsis

Duke Aaron introduces Bianca as the new chief of police for the Bran Territory, much to the surprise of a character who hoped for a different role. The group then discusses their plans, including offering protection to orcs in exchange for gold. Later, they encounter pirates who, ignoring orders against destroying ships, engage in combat, and a strange cannonball leads to further investigation. The chapter ends with the protagonists being ordered to find the source of the pirates.
