Searching for a crew
Speak to Trader Stan to start the miniquest about The Iron Link's return for invasion. He tells about the Wushanko Isles and how he used to trade overseas there until the wild sea creatures started appearing years ago. He then makes a deal with you to find a crew willing to go to the isles with one of his other ships; you'll need a quartermaster, a navigator, and a bosun. Trader Stan believes Surula can advise you on a good quartermaster to hire for your crew. The navigator would be a siren; Stan suggests Seasinger Umi to fill the role of navigator. And for help in finding a bosun, he suggests speaking with Guard Captain Roarkwin.
The quartermaster
Go to your player-owned port and speak to Surula, the barmaid in the pub, to find a quartermaster in Trader Stan's name. She asks if you came to settle his tab, but makes a deal for you to cover for him in exchange for information. A pay-up of 1000 coins and she'll direct you to Mister Gully upstairs. Talk to Mister Gully on the balcony, and he'll accept your offer after you mention the Skulls.
Speak to Seasinger Umi and ask her to join the crew as navigator with knowledge of the Eastern Lands. She's flattered by Stan's remarks, but refuses as she likes it in Port Sarim, not wanting to go back. She does suggest to hire her sister instead, since she plans on returning home soon anyways; find Seasinger Jemi beside the Rimmington well, and she'll agree to join.
The bosun
Talk to Guard Captain Roarkwin, beside the Port Sarim lodestone (during the Port Sarim Invasion), or in the Port Sarim Jail (after the Port Sarim Invasion). For a bosun, he suggests a former Black Knight, Jacob, but he was abducted during the first assault by Jed; he'll ask for a favour to inform Jacob's sister of his abduction. Meet with his sister, a Black Knight sergeant, in Draynor Village, in the upstairs of the pottery oven building; she'll try to ward you off, but when she learns of his abduction by the Skulls, she'll agree to join your crew, and introduces herself as Evie Higgs.
Wrapping up
Once you've recruited all three crew members, return to Trader Stan and talk about the Skulls pirates again. After the end of the Port Sarim Invasion, he'll request on behalf of the people of Port Sarim that you bring back all the abducted people, and add a personal request to bring back a mystery item that was on the first ship that Jed stole. A window will pop up saying you've completed the miniquest and unlocked the resting animation.
