Quincy

Captain of the *Wind's Pride* (deceased) who made a contract with the party to sort out what was going on with the merfolk under Lake Norka. When his ship sank, he was pulled overboard by water tendrils and rescued by Zeno. Set struck a deal with M'shel granting him access to the tethis plant for trade in repayment for the loss of his ship, which seemed okay. Sometimes he gives the party shit about it, but we all kind of suspect he and M'shel are dating now as she teaches him to grow the tethis plant underwater.

## Description

Human (?) captain-turned-underwater-agriculturist following the death of his ship.

## Biography

### Background

Quincy made a profitable living for himself in Janwald by fishing out on Lake Norka (and also taking out interested parties onto the water for a fee) with his crew. When the party had asked how ships got into the lake as there is no shipyard nearby, he said that they had to be sailed up to the lake via a tributary from the ocean.

It is as yet unconfirmed, but has been hinted that Quincy won the *Wind's Pride* from Captain Wavecrash in a game of cards.

### "Let Your Waves Crash Down on Me" (1x7)

The party impressed Quincy with their magical prowess (Felegum, Zeno, Awk) and signed a contract with him where they'd try to solve the merfolk issue and if they were successful would pay them in gems. He said he needed a name for the group in order for the contract to be valid, and thus the Sovereign Dungeoneering Company was born. He was slightly sus about Helli trying to steal the gems beforehand. The party paid him a modest fee to take them out onto the lake. Quincy provided the party with emergency potions of water-breathing as they set sail. Shortly after sailing into the merfolk's half of the lake, the Wind's Pride was attacked by water tendrils (courtesy of Yuval).

### "Sometimes It Feels Just Like I'm Falling in the Ocean" (1x8)

Pulled overboard by a water tendril and later rescued by Zeno, Quincy accompanied the party to the lake floor, also using his potion of water-breathing. At this point, the *Wind's Pride* had been smashed in half. He has never forgiven the party for this. Quincy explained there were extra potions on the ship if we needed them and, despite his own injuries, said he had to know if his crew was okay. Felegum swam back up to the surface with Quincy to check on the crew and left him there.

### "And No Rivers and No Lakes Could Put the Fire Out" (1x10)

Set negotiated with the mer-leader M'Shel to grant Quincy (exclusive?) access to the tethis plant so that he could begin to rebuild his livelihood after the loss of his ship. After concluding their business with the taak, the party re-surfaced and found Quincy and his crew camped out on the nearest largest island to the shipwreck. Quincy had a small, makeshift raft and was taking care of one of his injured crewmates. He seemed intrigued by the tethis prospect, but was concerned with our tight four-day deadline to get him back to Janwald. The party helped Quincy built out the raft he'd started more, finished it, and began the trek around the lake back to Janwald via the shallows.

### "Nothing Can Fly With This Broken Wing" (1x11)

Reaching Guara, the party had Quincy and his crew hang back as they scouted the town ahead. A good thing, as Durnen and Yuval were waiting ahead. The party called Quincy and the crew down once the battle was over.

### "They Were Right When They Said We Were Breathing Underwater" (1x12)

Quincy maintained that the party owed him five thousand gold, aka suitable reparations, for his ship as they fixed the cart and got out of Guara. On reaching Janwald, he dipped and Milto had to track him down for the merfolk meeting the next day. He and the party set sail for the negotiations aboard the *Room Where the Sausage is Made*, Captain Cheri's vessel. Zeno, Felegum, Quincy, Cheri, Bryan, and Set went to the negotiations with the merfolk. Quincy initially took to the idea of trying to grow tethis on the surface, but Set thought that was silly since Quincy had water-breathing potions still and tethis did much better underwater anyway. M'Shel offered to teach him how to do it underwater, winked, and disappeared. Quincy downed a potion and leapt in after her. The party has concluded that they are dating.

### "Sometimes I Think of Letting Go and Never Looking Back" (1x13)

Quincy did not resurface for a while, so the negotiations crew left him to his own devices and returned to Janwald. The party met back up with him at the docks and he was in a good enough mood that he paid them in gems and also gave Helli a necklace with a resurrection diamond in it with the inscription "for when bad turns to worse." The group wished Quincy the best of luck with the water bazaar.

### "Hold Your Head High, Heavy Heart" (1x34)

Passing through Janwald, the party encountered Quincy again and discovered that he was still pretty upset about the sunken ship. Zeno countered by grilling him about his love life, Lankin--a complete stranger to Quincy-- hugged the captain, and the party offered to sell him manticore tails and pitched being his tethis agents in Paripas. When asked by Zeno how "his girlfriend" was, Quincy took a moment to answer before responding, "good", thus making the good ship Quin'shel canon. Awk leaned too far in and Quincy got hella embarrassed. Helli was able to get him to reveal that he'd won the Wind's Pride in a game of chance (and seemed intrigued at the prospect of potentially winning him another ship).

### "I Used to be Love Drunk, Now I'm Hungover" (1x37)

Set snuck some tethis into his culinary entry at the beer battle and the goblin gourmet covertly asked him later where he'd gotten such a spice. Set confided to the gourmet that it was indeed a delicacy and more could be procured by speaking to a man named Quincy in Janwald.
