Angori on the Docks

'Ot. Bloody 'ot out 'ere.
 
 Those were the only words that came to mind when the Angori regained consciousness. With his eyes closed he could hear bustling footsteps on wooden planks. He could smell and taste the salt in the air. The sun blinded him when he finally opened his eyes and he quickly shut them back. Blindly groping the ground near him he felt something, his sword handle. A feeling of relief washed over Barbaal as he felt the first familiar thing since waking. He opened his eyes again to find that he was in a small alleyway near the docks of an unfamiliar port. Crates were stacked all around him. He finally mustered the strength to stand up, with the help of the wall next to him, and tucked his trusty Choppa into his belt. Taking a quick inventory check to make sure he wasn't robbed, he suddenly realized where he was. "Rica," Barbaal said to himself, "didn't fink I'd eva be back 'ere." Adjusting his armor, the young Savage walks out of the alleyway and onto the docks in search of his comrades.
 
Too bloody 'ot out 'ere. 

A small gnome recognizable as Ohren was hopping around the docks.
"Here froggie froggie froggie froggie..." 
He lept into the air, landing on all fours as a frog would. 
"Here froggie froggie froggie froggie!!"
He looked around the area, before catching the sight of a familiar face..
"Baba! Dere you is! Has you seened any froggies?" 

Barbaal raises an eyebrow to his Gnomish counterpart. "What ar' you doin'? Why ar' you lookin' fa frogs?" he asked Ohren. "'Av you seen Morzof? Or Binx? Or anyone from Jastrey?" 

Ohren pauses for a moment, trying to remember why he wanted froggies. 
"I needing froggies for alco-frogs. When I finded dem, I bringed dem to Holly and she maked dem for drinky-eats."
Ohren thinks a bit. "I seent Binky in da tabern. I tink is called Shakey Lakey or somefin like dat.

Even more baffeled by the Gnomes words, Barbaal found relief in hearing Binx was nearby. "Da...Shakey Lakey? Well uh...I'll try an' find it. But...who's Holly and why does she need frogs ta make a drink? I just....don' undastand...." Barbaal shakes off his confusion in order to go about his wandering. "Good luck wif da frogs Ohren. If you see me at da pub, drinks ar' on me." 

Ohren waves to Barbaal. 
"I need froggies to get drinkses Baba! I sees you when I has froggies. Oh yea, and de Shakey Lakey is dat way... Holly is dat dwarfy lady who makes da drinks."
He resumes his hopping and froggie calls. 
 
"Here froggie froggie froggie froggie!"

At the end of the afternoon, it is safe to assume you have collected approximately 12 frogs in a burlap sack.
