Talk:Unholy Captives, part 4/@comment-2A02:C7F:C8B:3200:E4A6:B6E:E2B0:1432-20190622013143/@comment-70.191.124.134-20200704234211

As the Captain's steward, Dahl would have had access to the Captain's quarters, and it's entirely possible the Captain keeps a sword in there. He's seen running towards the aft of the ship during Unholy Captives part 2, so maybe he crossed the ship, went up the aft staircase and into the Captain's quarters, yoinked a sword, and then went down the aft stairs all the way to the lazarrette. That side of the ship is never in view in any of the Unholy Captives memories so the Inspector would never have a chance to see this, and most of the crew was too busy working, arguing or gawking at the mermaids to notice him either.
