Yup. Apparently, there are some pirates that are about and the unlawful are always ripe for target practice.

[ Did anyone tell Nero specifically that they wanted them killed? No. Did anyone insinuate it? Not really. They're a nuisance but some of those that couldn't make it in Solvunn joined said pirates' ranks; there may be some hard feelings but not hard enough to be happy about them being hunted for sport like the elf is doing.

To his credit, Nero's also aware he can only do so much stalking and killing before he has to stop -- which is a crying shame, but at least he'll get his jollies off for a bit. ]

Well, isn't that nice? Did you have fun with your hunt?
