[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 6434186, member: 51930"] Doctor Varlock's silence was measured, and he didn't move during the discussion... until now. [color=purple]Let us not count our coins before they are minted. Half-shares breed mistrust and obfuscate the costs of a venture. Best say fifteen shares than share-and-a-half. Crew get one share a piece, officers three, our benefactor may have his third, after costs, provisions, and the like. Else he'd best prepare to fund our voyage through several ventures, to make up the cost of the ship and crew; unless he thinks the men will buy their own gruel, salted pork, and rum, or pay for each bullet out of their own pocket.[/color] The doctor speaks without looking up, but his voice has the sound of authority, confidence, and the arrogance of one with knowledge of medical science. He swirls his drink in his glass, takes a sip, and grimaces at the poor taste, and spits. He still does not look up. [color=purple]And one more thing. The tale of the missing ship speaks of sea folk and curses. Not a one of you 'ppear to mine eyes to be bokors or beloved of the loa. For this venture to succeed, you'll need to bring me along on this journey, else the entire ship risks being dragged below the waves by creatures of the deep. To keep my interest, I insist... upon a Captain's share.[/color] He leaves this last to hang in the air, but sits calmly, waiting for the rest to react. [/QUOTE]
