Overview
After Ardo is healed, your companions finally reveal the true nature of their quest: to find Mora and get back Emperor Hal's crown. The biggest lead you have to follow is to find the river pirates, and coincidentally you'll have found their location during the last quest.
1 - Avarosh Goldtooth
The dwarven merchant Avarosh will accost you as soon as you try to leave your ship. If you have Elven puff on you, he will buy it off you for 20D, or 40D with a Haggle check. Jorgen at #7 will pay you more.
A Human Nature or Haggle (12D) check will have Avarosh inform you captain Hookensang brought her in, but if you need more info you need to talk to Captain Thunderfist. To get to meet her you'll have to gain the trust of himself, Phewin "Irontaste" Soorman, Rumpo "Widowfriend" Perchbold, Timorn "Hookensang" of Stoneground and Jadira "Bardshock" Cruento.
To gain Goldtooth's favor, first he has you collect debts: Growler Bodo owes him 12D, Radomir owes him 11D and Snow Rose owes him 8D
Returning with the money nets you 100AP. He will then send you to his Delving (exit E) to check it out, as it is haunted, see
The Strange Haunting for more details.
Pick pocketing notes: Goldtooth is carrying 11D 2T 2F and Water of Accuracy.
2 - Natter Buzzard
Natter will accost you and question you. Just lie to him, he will generally fail his Human Nature checks.
3 - Captain Burgess
Burgess is the man who knocked you out at the Campsite, at the very beginning of the game. Since then, he's had a series of misfortunes happen to him. Add another by beating him up
4 - Snow Rose
Fast Talk or Seduce (for males) to get her to pay up her 8D and gain 100AP. Afterwards, you can get information from her on Soorman and Avarosh for 2D each, but it serves no gameplay purpose.
5 - Huckster Borgus
Borgus is a merchant. He sells mostly weapons and armor, such as a Scaled Tunic, Fur Coat with Scaled Armor, and a Wyrmslayer.
6 - Bridgeman
Guards the bridge. He won't lower it until Avarosh says so, which is after you have received your second quest from him.
7 - Bragan and Jorgen
With enough Streetwise you can discover Bragan is a forger. When you have found your first golden emblem for the quest Bounty Hunt (likely Hookensang's at #26), you can have Bragan forge a copy. It'll cost 10D but this is the only way get four emblems to complete the Bounty Hunt.
Jorgen is a merchant who sells goods and information. He has a random assortment of goods including Blackened Should Guards and Mengbilar. He sells information on the pirate captains at 2D a hit but none of it seems to be particularly useful. He will buy the Elven Puff off you for 50D, which is more than you can get from Avarosh.
Pick pocketing note: Bragan is carrying a Lump of Fake Gold. This is not very valuable as any merchant can see it is fake, but it can be used to bribe Zutar (#26).
Bragan and Jorgen move to inside the Captain's Wheel tavern after you complete the Secret Harbor.
8 - Woodapple Harad
Woodapple Harad, Quick Elvira and two river pirates hang around inside the arena. Woodapple Harad has the Rapier of Alrica Farfara. You can fight him for it or pick pocket it off him.
9 - Yapper Bodo
Yapper Bodo keeps his dogs here, which means he also serves as a guard to the Captain's Wheel's rear exit. To get him to pay his debts to Avarosh, pass a Fast Talk or Intimidate check. If Ardo is in your party he will compliment the dogs and no talent check is needed to have him pay his debt. Collecting the money nets you 100AP.
10 - Captain Rumpo
One of the captains whose favour you'll need. His first request is to retrieve a snuff box from the Leti's room in the Captain's Wheel. To get past Yapper Bodo, Rumpo suggests claiming to be bringing in some schnapps.
Bringing him back the correct snuff box (#14) nets you 4D and 150AP, and he will then tell you he also needs you to help Alrico Farfara (#15).

Leti will be in here when you come looking for Rumpo's Snuff Box. If she catches you, a Fast Talk or Seduce check or a payment of 7D 5T will have her give you the snuff box.

14 - Chest and Casket
Behind a locked door is a chest containing a Strong Schnapps and the quest item Pipe and a casket containing 9x hair pins and the quest item Snuffbox. Picking it up nets you 50AP.

20 - Captain Soorman
You can not talk to him until you have helped his bosun, Ship's Orc Zutar (#25). You can not get his vote until you have every other pirate captain's vote.

Afterwards you can offer her your help. She wishes to win back Rumpo, for which she needs some of his hair. Talk to Rumpo and either pick pocket the hair off him. Females (including Fayris) can simply ask it off him. This nets you 20AP. Take it to Sanraya to have her make a potion for 20AP (with an alchemy check you can discover the potion is fake, as Sanraya wishes to teach Jadira that she can not win Rumpo over this way).
With enough Human Nature and Arcana Lore you can find out the reason behind Rumpo's charm, which is his ring. You can pick pocket it off him in dialog. Bring back the potion to Jadira for 40 AP and 5D, and if you also have the ring you can give it too for 20AP and 20D.

You can also challenge Radomir for his crown as Tavern King (which he has lost). He cheats, and to beat him you must know about Softstoner Schnapps from Hookensang. First challenge him and reach the 2nd round. Then talk to Leti when she is not near Radomir and suggest adding Premm Fire. She'll note it won't be enough, so talk to Hookensang (after having already enjoyed a round with him) and have him buy you drinks to keep the Stonesoftener. If you killed Hookensang while helping the elves, Leti will sell you the Stonesoftener. Challenge Radomir again, and in the second round tip some Stonesoftener in his drink with a pick pocket check. You are now Tavern King, but without a crown.
