A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[Scotley]

Chill in the air.

Michael's people arrive almost immediately, and begin to take the women out of the chilled cabin, as it remains quite warm on deck. Michael is able warm the room after a little while. Soon Nac'Losin and her assistant are sitting up drinking hot soup supplied by Grumbar.

The day

9 day of Sunstime

Concerned about what just happpened, Michael cant but help think "CRAP CRAP CRAP".....seeing to the priestess and her helper and as to the general condidtion of the ship, Michael will try and process the events..."something big is out there, something that he does not have the power or ability to deal with just yet if ever.....caution and planning are well advised..

When the priestess has recoverd Michael will say "I did not expect that madame, sorry i put you and your helper in harms way"

 

[Scotley]

Michael finds that the ship continue to perform well and that everything is ship shape. Returning to Nac'Losin he finds her to be well, "I think we may safely assume this is a much bigger and darker mess you've stubbled onto then we first suspected." She takes another sip of soup. "We are really okay, but our people do not fare well in the cold. I fear this journey north may be more than we can endure without careful planning and ways to stay warm."

The Priestess

"I have been thinking on that as well Priestess...and perhaps i have an inkling of a soultion for a portion of that probelm but shall know more depending on our success tonight. Given what me may be facing...it is proably best that we all get some rest this afternoon in prepartion for tonights adventure"...Michael will then give the appropriate orders for crew rest.........and for the completing of prepartions for tonights possible attack.

 

[Scotley]

A day of waiting.

The retribution makes good progress and by late afternoon is approaching the barren rocky isle where the quarry is said to be sheltering. A call comes down that the rocks have been sighted from the crowsnest.

The Hunt

"Lt Mangrum, all hand to their stations if you please" Michael will assess the situation for a moment "Steer us well clear of the rocks and take us around the island and let us see if we can spot our quarrey"

 

[Scotley]

Approach

The men move quickly to their stations while the Retribution turns smartly. The rocks are a half-moon shape raising perhaps 15 to 20 feet above the waves at the highest point. It seems to home only to a few sea birds. As the ship comes around the single mast of a small ship can be seen rising above the rocks. Two or three men can be seen on deck working. There are no sails or rigging visible just the bare mast.

 

[J. Alexander]

The Quarry

"There she is gentlemn, lets prepare to start our plan. Lt. Mangrum steer us towards her"

 

[Scotley]

The plan

The ship swings around as ordered.

OOC: and what exactly are your orders and the plan...?

 

[J. Alexander]

The Ship

Michael will give orders for the ship to steer close to it's prey...when they are perhaps 20 yard or so, Chandar and his strike team will go over the side to hit the ship from the opposite side.. Nicholas will try to ruse our way in with his disquise and once we are close ....Grond will lead his strike team across the decks with a watch of crew in support. Michael and company will hold the main deck and support the attack......
