Chrissom Bell

The castaways introduced themselves as Lord Frederigo D'Honaire, Alfred, Velus and Barbie. Fred wasn't sure whether Astra had decided that her real name wasn't sufficiently feminine, or whether under the clothes' influence she had forgotten all about her old self.

"I'll have to drop you off at the first port we come to," the captain told them. "I can't afford to feed four extra mouths."

"And where will that be?" Fred asked.

"Chrissom Bell. We should make landfall there in three days time."

Fred had heard of Chrissom Bell. It was in the Hespanish colony of Nom Malbra, and had an unsavoury reputation. [See http://www.geocities.com/ toh1999/wolfrun.html for a map and much other useful information (you'll need to remove the space in the URL).] But the captain was deaf to his protests.

They stood on the wharf where their ship had docked, and discussed what they should do. "The first thing we must do is to find...

1. "...the Allarian embassy," Fred said.
2. "... an inn to stay the night," Velus said.
3. "...a way of earning some money," Alfred said. "We're penniless."
4. "...a hairdressers," Astra said. "I have a great idea for a new hairstyle for myself."
