A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

Officers' Call 2

"I remember hearing somewhere that 'fortune favors the bold,' captain," responds Grond with a grin. "We've made a good run here. Perhaps it is to take our profits and turn for home, but that isn't the strategy that has served us so far."

officers call

At Gronds comment, Michaels sip of wine cause down the wrong passage and his spews liquid into his napkin....smiling he says "I have heard that also, so bold we shall be" With a look towards Grond that says I owe you for that, Michael will ask if there is anything else. If there is not, he will awit his first luncheon with the door girl and arrive some 15 minutes early.

The Captain's Table of the Black Lace Glove

OOC: :lol:

Michael arrives early as planned. The crowd seems somewhat diminished from his previous visit. He is shown a table, but it soon becomes apparent that the young lady is not coming. However, he sees a vaguely familiar face at a nearby table. A halfling is dining with an improbably tall woman of obvious loose virtue. He raises a glass of wine in salute when he catches Michael's eye.
 

Lunch Appointments

Michael will nod to the halfling, assuming it is one he staked last night, and enjoy the resturante. Ordering a nice white wine, Michael will set back and await the next appointment with the mysterious gentlemen.
 

Lunch

Michael can only assume that the young woman was a casualty last night. There were many. He finds the appetizer of fried clams to be pretty good thanks to an unusually tasty creamy sauce thick with dill and cheverl. Eventually, a waiter arrives baring a silver tray with a calling card upon it. "Captain Storm?" the waiter asks. Getting an afirmative he presents the card. "J. DuValee Imports and Exports of fine consumables" followed by an improbably long list of offices including several exotic locals.
 


J. DeValee

A extremely neat and dapper little halfling in finely tailored clothes approches the table. He removes gray silk gloves and a hat, passing them along with an ebony walking stick topped of a mother of pearl handle to a waiter. A tall chair is brought and he slips nimbly into it though Michael can see he is of advancing years. His handsome leather shoes with imaculate white spats rest on a rung. His silver hair is neatly combed and he has a red carnation pinned to the lapel of his spotless charcoal on silver jacket. He extends a small fine boned hand adorned with an elegant platinum and gold ring. "A pleasure to meet you Captain Stormwarden." He speaks in soft educated tones with just the merest hint of Shieldlander accent.
 

The Halfling

Extending his hand to the Halfing Michael will say "it is a pleasure to meet your MR. DuValee. How may i be of service to you"


OCC:Crap Crap Crap Crap :)...huge flashbacks of Harifoot Trust and nasty halflings
PS. Crap is not the word i wanted to use :)
 


Hairy Feet

The halfling responds, "It is I who want to help you my good Captain. For I have the network to distribute these fine cigars for you. Why trouble yourself with marketing them a box or two at a time when I can take them and put them out throughout the Empire?"
