Morwyn Michael's gesture is too subtle for Morwyn, he nods back. I just want to get this business over with and get back to sea. When my turn comes, I'll deposit 150 gp (5%), take 2000 in silver ingots, and the other 850 in mixed currency/gems.

Morwyn To Michael's first request, "How large and heavy is your cargo? Do you expect to require quick access? Is there anything I should know about the contents?" After the ornate letter, "Thank your master, and let him know that I plan on attending." If anything, Morwyn pays more attention...

Morwyn Knowledge (Sea) (1d20=1) OOC: Natural 1 to match MikeP's natural 20; I left off my modifier, but I don't think it matters :D

Morwyn In response to Michael's notes - Since I'll be on duty 4 hours before reaching Axiopolis, I'll send someone to notify him of our schedule. As to the second note, "I'm afraid that those documents really should remain in the captain's quarters. He's welcome to examine them there." I'll...

Morwyn "So, we have a plan, or at least the beginning of one. We shall put into port, cash our letters of credit to avoid a paper trail, then make for Mermaid's Rest. Once there, Rook and I will 'sound the waters' and learn the physical situation, while Radoon and Michael begin to make...

Morwyn "Radoon, inspect is perhaps too strong a word. I'm merely going to look at various keels. As for how I plan to do so without attracting too much attention, I can breath water. I just plan to stay underwater, and not approach any ship too closely. I know that limits the kind of...

Morwyn "I don't believe that he intended to actually go through with any sale, just suggesting a possible line of investigation. However, since we have access to capital, it isn't one we need to pursue from that particular angle. Speaking of capital, I think we should take a brief detour to a...

Morwyn "Terry, Marrienna, I've tried to avoid even thinking this, but do you know of any reason why someone might be targeting Marin & Son? Two Dexter and Longi ships being lost in less than a year is an amazing circumstance, but that both belong to the same shipping company seems beyond...

Morwyn "The crew already knows enough to tip our hand, I'm afraid, so we'll need to keep them on board. Marienna, can you see to that? I don't have the skills required to conduct this kind of investigation, so we'll have to let the ship's agent handle that, if one of you are willing to take...

Morwyn "I've been giving the matter some thought, and I'm averse to claiming we have a non-existant cargo to tempt attention. There is another alternative: we could be going to Mermaid's Rest to obtain a 'special' cargo to smuggle into some other port. We could have one of a variety of...

Morwyn - Captain's Dinner Dinner turns out to be a veritable feast, as course follows course: First a tomato and cheese salad, then a spicy fish soup. Yet another salad, this time tomato and cucumber, preceding stuffed game hen with cranberry relish, before a ratatouille with eggplant and...

Morwyn Early on, I'd like to bring the ship to a standstill so that I can swim around her and see how she's riding after the modifications. Is the lack of cargo apparent, or is she riding fairly low due to the modifications and armaments? Can we coax more speed or manouverability from her by...

Morwyn To Michael and Rook, I've deliberately left the two of you out of the watch rotation, which should help distinguish roles. You've pretty much got the run of the ship, trusting that you stay out of the way of the working crew. I'd prefer it if you didn't assist too much in any...

Morwyn Add them to the 1st and 2nd watches, respectively.

Morwyn Does the count of 21 include Jack and Thomas? I definitely want Radoon's input (from a military perspective) on watches, and Marienna's is welcome, as is Michael's and Rook's. Unless they've got a better idea, then we'll adopt the military schedule and set watches at 4 hours each...

Morwyn I need to get 3 or 4 outfits typical for a captain. It's quite possible that I won't be able to get anything that fits well, given the short notice, in which case I'll get something I can alter. More importantly, how soon will tides/winds be appropriate for departing? I'm presuming...

Morwyn Excitedly, but trying to act cool, I open the bag and look inside.

Morwyn "Thank you, Captain."

Morwyn OOC: Sorry I wasn't clear; Morwyn is planning to host dinner tomorrow night, after we've set sail. My take from the period books I've read is that it's something of a tradition for the Captain to host dinner for the officers, as well as any VIP's, the first night of a cruise (or at...

Morwyn "Excellent. Do you already have shifts and stations drawn up? If so, we'll need to add two Able Seamen to the rotation. If not, would you please join First Officer Radoon and myself once we've made open water, to make those assignments? One other thing, I'd like to invite all the...
