There is also an underlying hope that the expedition will turn up enough Junta rarities that everyone on the crew will be rich afterwards so a few coins more or less for individuals will wind up not really mattering.  You can give me a History check to recognize the term "Junta" in this context.

If you have problems with any of the crew, please bring that to me directly. Again, welcome aboard."

As he leads you through towards the deck he says, "Four whistles is meal call.  If you aren't actively on the helm or involved in something you are welcome to any call you can attend.  If you are on the helm, someone will come by and see if you want anything brought to you.  I will have duty schedules posted before we sail tomorrow.  Schedules are posted here in the galley." Stepping out on to the deck you see that the two humans that had been swabbing were now leaning against the gunwale, chatting and smoking a cigarette. Ashheart leads you over and introduces you to Billiam Bryce and Royce Morgan.  Royce smiles as you are introduced and welcomes you warmly.  Billiam nods at you as he smokes, "You can just call me Bill."

Ashheart says, "Counting you and Melville, that would make five casters out of a crew of 12.  Rrr'chk'chk, Anders, myself, Melville, and you.  I am presuming that you will want that spelljammer extra share, so the only caster that is not in the rotation would be me. I have too many other things to do, but have jumped on the helm in an emergency before."

Bazz nods to Ashheart, that he understands.

Upon seeing and being introduced to the two sailors, Bazz [as usual] greets them both cordially with a firm handshake.  "Nice to meet you both.  You look like experienced sailors.  How many of these voyages have you been on?"

Bill nods again and says, "First with this crew, 'cept for Royce here.  Fourth sum total."  Royce nods in agreement and says, "Bill and I was on the same last two ships. I've got three cruises a'fore this one."  Bill flicks the butt of his cigarette over the side of the ship before continuing, "We're both general decks, with some combat experience thrown in.  How 'bout yourselves?"
