Alternate descriptions:
Captain Furrante was hired by Director Castol to take care of the problem facing Castol's business interests at Crookspur. When I spoke with Furrante at Dunnage, he offered me the job in exchange for further reward from the Príncipi.
A Príncipi spy has informed me that Crookspur may be trafficking illegal slaves. Her captain would greatly reward me for freeing them.
