One of blackburn's men, a man who conveniently had just retired says to whiteboard and howard (to howard before he leaves).
John won't like it if you kill any priests, he'll shoot you if you do. However the real threat to your life would be Teach, after that one incident with the cathedral weeks ago, he's sworn to make sure that don't happen again. One drunken sailor and some of his mates burned down a small church in thorakas, which apparently the local authorities didn't care about because they did nothing. he was found a week later on the coast, or rather, his head was found, stuck through a pole, they suspect teach did it.
The sailor gets up, and walks out of the tavern. Blackburn's ship reaches vaasburg.
