Yet again, Durak finds himself in Gliamore. The orc was aboard Good Fortune, a merchant vessel, as naval surgeon when she docked in Gliamore's harbor to disembark the cargo and stay there for the time being, giving her sailors well deserved shore leave.

First message

It's an early morning and a sailing ship bearing the name "Good Fortune" docked in Gliamore's port. After the carrack was given a berth and moored, sailors and port workers began unloading the cargo including spices, wax, furs, fine fabrics, jewelry, dyes and glassware. Among the sailors is a gray-skinned orc named Durak, helping his crewmates by hauling the heavy crates filled with precious cargo from both close and afar, exotic and common, despite being the ship's doctor.

Durak, after unloading the cargo, headed towards the inn "The Rusty Anchor" popular with the sailors, something that still makes him chuckle even after these years, to book himself for some time. The Good fortune would stay in Gliamore for 10 days, not only perfect time for maintenance but also shore leave after spending a long time on the sea.

After booking himself, Durak just wanders through a city he has visited many times, given Gliamore is an important place for trade routes with its harbor. As the gray-skinned orc walks on Gliamore's streets, he ponders about the first time he visited this city. The first time he came to Gliamore as surgeon's mate at 17 aboard the ship "The Canopus", people gave him glances despite the matters of the past were settled and orcs were rather known, the only good thing back then, as exeptional healers. Though it got better with time, some folks even greeted the returning naval surgeon. Be it the innkeeper or apothecary, or giving Durak a little discount, "for a loyal customer," they say, and treating him like another visitor in general. That's something he's glad about.

His thoughts are interrupted by a particularly looking person he caught a glance of. Perhaps it's the slight limp on their left leg, or the particular way they place their hand on their side, so the orc naval surgeon decided to approach them, knowing that he technically can't be a physician on land, but Durak has proven himself as mender of wounds and illnesses many times, be it on or off water. "Hello, may i ask, do you feel alright?" He asks them as his amber eyes scan for injuries or hints about their condition.
