Back in the Port of Dahnger, Stone encounters a man whipping a slave, and confronts him about it, and ends up buying the slave and setting him free. Or trying to, anyway, but the slave, Kabor, just doesn't get the whole "freedom" concept, and insists on following Stone around and obeying him. So he joins the crew of the Serpent.
