It's another quiet night for the Brucolac--but aren't they all, here? No political crises or outbreaks of crime to demand his attention, no 'welcome to Armada' speeches to give, no one trying to summon monsters through portals to other worlds.
Well, the door here lets in what it lets in, and his definition of 'monster' is subjective anyway.
So here he is, doing a bit more scrimshaw. This time it's going to be a knife-handle, and the scene he's carving into it is from the Pirate Wars; it shows a Crobuzoner ship vainly, with magic and cannons, trying to fend off a ship that looks remarkably like his own. Whether this scene actually happened, and in the way he's depicting it, there's no one left alive to say. The benefits of being very old...
Totally botherable.

"Can't say that I do," he says as the doors close.
