Dinner

Greeting Hroosh with a warm smile and by extending an ivory colored hand upon which rest seveal lovely rings that are proably worth a barons ransom she replies. "He has told me a little of what has occured but I fear he has left out several details that would certainly earn him a scolding but he speaks highly of you Master Hroosh and of your willingess to close with foes greatly beyond your own individual power so please be welcome to my home"

"Yes, we have a fine workshop with high quality tools. I'll have Matie put you in a cabin right around the corner from the workshop if you like?"
"Yes, that would be MOST agreeable, thank you Captain!"

...You immediately spot Geoffrey standing next to a beautiful woman who is perhaps 5 years his junior. As you approach Geoffrey says...Elizabeth this is (Charcter Name)......(Character Name) this is my wife "The Lady Elizabeth. From her demanor and their inteaction you quickly deduce that while Geoffrey commands "The Radiant Sun" he has no voice on this particualr deck.
Gnurl bows low (as if he wasn't low enough already!) and says, "I am simply enchanted to make your acquaintance, Dear lady! I wonder how Geoffrey can ever manage to tear himself away from your side for long enough to brave the dangers of the world with us? Still, I am very glad that you permit him to do so! Doubtless, without his impeccable talents and strength, we surely would be lost."

Greeting the gnome with an equally warm small she replies "Master Gnurl, please be welcome, my husband has told we of the magic you brought to bear that greatly aided the mission. However he has once again failed to fully disclose his own role, something that I shall certainly discuss with him" The with a slight smile she conintues "Geoffrey stated that you wit sometimes comes out at very trying times, perhaps I could use that should a postion of jester become availabe in my home."

"My dear lady, during our most recent expedition together, I made a similar remark to Geoffrey, and, in fact, offered to be his jester. This was, however, a jest itself, and, I must say that as opulent and posh as your home and surroundings are, I really don't think that you could afford my services, madam. Wizards of Power are not a common commodity, and I must insist that my value as such has gone up considerably in recent times."

Smiling at the small figure in front of her she replies "I have often thought the same, that only if Geoffrey would increase the household budget I could afford much more. Thank you Master Gnurl for reminding me once again to discuss this issue with him" As the interplay turns to this topic Geoffrey's eyes roll slightly.

"See how your association with me bears unexpected fruit?!" Gnurl says with an indulgent wink to Geoffrey.

Terry Lockspar comes in with Captain Marin, who is dressed in a fine dress uniform. The Captain leans heavily on his cane, but his eyes are bright and he looks surprisingly energetic for a man of his years. "Dear lady, an honor to meet you." With some difficulty he bows over her hand. "And you Captain Vasa, let me thank you for honoring my request to the church for aid. I am most pleased to have my son back." His old hand still holds surprising strength as he shakes Geoffrey's hand. Terry nods politely to the lady and smiles at Geoffrey. The Captain continues, "A marvelous ship. I've always favored utilitarian ships and kept the luxuries at port, but I see you've done an admirable job of combining the two. A result of the woman's touch no doubt. My Lorrienna was never much for the sea. She always waited for me at home." Realizing he is rambling a bit, the Captain moves to make way for others to be received by the hostess.

Warming at the sight of the old sea dog, Elizabeth will say "My Dear Captain Marin, it has been way to long since you have visited my brothers court you simply must come when things allow. I do remember your last call when my father was alive and the kitten you gave me has given me much pleasure though i wager my mother has not yet forgiven you" Taking his hand she kisses him briefly on the check and says "It would give me great pleasure to show you my home this evening should you have the time"...As the old man moves to Geoffrey and shakes his hand Geoffrey will say "It has been my pleasure sir, you devotion to the church and your generosity could simply not be overlooked by the Archbishop and fortune favored us in that I was close at hand. I do wish your son a speedy recovery and should you need aid from the healers of the church please let us know and they will be dispatched."

Mingo & Co.

Mingo makes sure that Mig's hair has been brushed and a clean kerchief is placed around her neck. "Mig, you may have to wait outside for this party." Mingo tells Mig. "If you do, I'm sure they will have a big bone for you. I'll see to it."

They walk over to the 'Sun and follow the servants to the room. Anson stops their escort and asks, "With a party this formal, should we leave Mig outside?" Mig steps forward, "Hush, Anson." Addressing the servant, Mingo says, "Mig is a prized member of our group, so will you be announcing her with us, or providing her with a pillow and large beefy bones?" Mingo stares at the servant, awaiting an answer.

Without giving time for a reply, Mingo continues, "Just announce us and then get the pillow and bones ready in a corner, Mingo Frasse, Yondalla's Wayward Warden, and Anson of Lanbidrig, with Mig the Boerboel."

After the introduction, Mingo will curtsey to Geoffrey and Lady Elizabeth as Anson and Mig bow. As Lady Elizabeth extends her hand, Mingo will take it, and after the greeting, Mingo will say, "Delighted to meet you Lady Elizabeth. Your work on the Radiant Sun is well known to distant ports. Anson and his companion Mig have been a great help to me in my recent travels aiding little people and others in need."
