10		In the docks of Hlan Oek, I met Drissa Vendil, a captain of a ship called the Brave Coda. Drissa told me that she and her crew are stuck in town, waiting for her ship to be repaired. She asked me to find out why the ship's repairs are taking so long. She suggested I might learn something in the Shipbuilders and Sailors Hall.
20		In the basement of the Shipbuilders and Sailors Hall, I found a note alongside a crate of skooma. It appears that Ithis Randaro, who runs the Hall, is trying to smuggle skooma aboard the Brave Coda without alerting its captain or crew.
30		Ithis Randaro told me that the Brave Coda's repairs are delayed because he is trying to smuggle skooma aboard it to Andothren, on behalf of some "friends" of his. He hasn't been able to get the skooma aboard with Drissa Vendil's crew watching it.
40		Drissa Vendil was upset that she hadn't been cut in on Ithis Randaro's attempts to smuggle on her ship. She asked me to negotiate a cut with Ithis Randaro for herself and her crew.
