Michael returns to the ship without incident. He finds that his men have not yet located any new recruits from Cambre. The call goes out and the officers are soon assembled at the appointed time.

As dinner reaches and end Michael will outline the reason for the gathering and ask for input. Those present will be the Cpt. Impariell and Mangrum, Guissippe, Chandar and the Priestess. Willum will also be invited. We have to decisions....

1. Do we sell the captured ship and devote it's resources to our 4 ships that we currently have or do we keep it and refurbish it at some later date.

2. We had orginally planned to split off Cpt. Mangrums crew here we can go with that or we stay together as one crew till we finish the Northern Trade. If we do that it will give everyone time to work as a crew every other day and work the kinks out of any command or promotions. It will also allow us additionaly crew in the event we are able to take more prizes. And last but not least it will allow Col Chandar to work with the assigned squads of marines to your crew and help with their training and cordination. We have been prosperous for sure gentlemen but we lack severly in depth of trained ratings and subofficers..if we stay together as a crew it will allow us to promote and work out any problems before we staff the two ships..

OOC: Is your omission of the sorceress intentional?

OOC: Still need a post from you in Island Empire Lich's curse game.

Imparell and Willum are in favor of keeping the ship for referbishment, but Chandar, the Priestess, the Sorcereress, Magrum and Gusseppi are all in favor of selling.

Only Magrum, perhaps eager to start his own command is in favor of splitting off from the main group. Everyone else favors going forward together. Gusseppe speaks in favor of setting out soon lest you get caught by foul weather late in the year.

Michael will bring the discussion to a close by saying "Well thought out and reasoned opinions but I think it both cases the majority has the right of if so the decisions shall stand as discussed and decided upon in this council. I know it is not what was promised earlier but I think we can all agree that there has been a dramatic change in our fortunes and position since those plans were made. We will make plans to sail in one week's time. Grond will have rejoined us then, we will have sold the ship and taken on additional crew and provisions as well as cargo" Michael will then raise his glass "To our continued sucess"

The next week will be taken up by looking for the Cambry Crew, selling the ship, finding marines and sailors and stocking up on food and water sources as well as having Grumbar looking for the food storage locker or lockers we discussed...

OOC: As noted earlier, or at least I meant to note it earlier, another trip to the post office might prove helpful in locating the Cambre crew.

The officers raise their glasses in toast and even those who didn't vote with the majority seem satisfied. Chandar raises his glass and says, "To Grond's success."

"Yes indeed, to His all our our suceess" then he will pause "We all know what we need to do in the next week so let us see to it and we shall be off" He will then past the next hour or so in casual entertainment before brining the meeting to an end.


Next morning around 9:30 am he and Guissspie, the two cosions and the two young men will set off to the post office.

Michael finds three letters waiting for him. One is a progress report from Tregere where things were going smoothly, but there has been some trouble of late. In the wake of the death of Lord Contrall, his heir, a sister has arrived and been trying to put his affairs in order. She is causing some trouble over labor and contracts and several lawyers have been filing motions to tie up the labor and stone moving operations. Some other local nobles have been making similar trouble. It seems to be a conspiracy. The local chieftain and Padar'Losin uncle have both been briefly jailed for contempt of court of outbursts in the court room. Padar'Losin assures you this is simply anti-native bias by the judge though he admits the chieftain did grow rather angry at one point. Currently, work is all but halted.

The second letter is from Cambre. The news on the jam and sailor front is better. It is reported that two dozen sailors are bringing a large cache of supplies to join up with you at the Capital.

The third letter posted this week from the Capital is from a man named Barnaby White. He and a contingent of sailors from Cambre are here in the Capital awaiting your contact. They can be reached care of the sailor's aid society.
