A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[J. Alexander]

Port Call

"Once again i am in your debt sir" Michael says "Just after lunch will work perfectly" Michael then will make polite small talk with the man for about 5 minutes then excuse himself using docking duties etc...as the reason. Once the man has left Michael will turn back to the officers "Any comments before we stand down for the night Gentlemen"

 

[Scotley]

Chandar gestures at the departing harbor master, "You seem to know the way to his heart. We should have a quiet night here."

 

[J. Alexander]

Port

"That is most welcome news Captain Chandar. Most welcome indeed. Do you think it may be possible for you to recruit some short term guards for the ship so that the entire crew may rest and stand down during the visit?" Michael asks

 

[Scotley]

Chandar

"Aye, aye Captain, I expect a few good lads I know are about. Give me an hour or so to see who is sober enough for the work. Shall I go ashore now?"

 

[J. Alexander]

The Port

"Please do Captain Chandar....and while your seeing who may be available please spread the word that we are actively recruiting once again for both sea and land based marines" Michael says...

As the Lizardman leaves, Michael will turn to the officers.."Lt's Mangrum, Impareill, please have the hands secure the ship within the hour so we may call liberty" Then he will add.."Pass the word for Master Grumbar if you would"...when the cook arrives Michael will ask him to start preparation of a nice snack for the crew as dinner has already been served.

Then Michael will call out once again to the Lieutiants. "Assemble the ship's company in 90 minutes if you would gentlment." Michael will then repair to his cabin.

 

[Scotley]

Fall In

The smell of Grumbar's cooking fills the air as the ships are tied off and the men assemble. All are present except Chandar who did not return as expected. No men have arrived to guard the ships or join the crew.

 

[J. Alexander]

Port Call

Addressing the assembled men Michael says "Thanks to your efforts we are safley back at our home port. Tonight we will rest aboard the ship and take care of all the little details that need to be done before a shipwide liberty is granted on the morning. At that time we will pay out an advance of your crew share of 10 gold pieces per man. I only ask that you check back in with the ship on the morning of the 12 day of Sunstime as we will know when we sail then. Also those who wish are more than welcome to stay aboard to sleep instead of enganging rooms..but i expect most of you are anxious to see home and family. In addition I ask that you help the crew recruit more members...we shall need to crew two additionaly ships in the next 6 months who will be devoted exclusively to local trade here in Tergerian waters.....though they will have to sail North with us and then return within 6 months. Are there any questions men?"

Letters

10th day of Sunstime
Aboard the Retribution
Port of Tergere

Mssr Andre Boudreau

Dear Sir,

I am pleased to announce that we have sold the intial cargo purchased from you just a few days ago at above average prices. Therefore I find myself in need of additional product so that we may contiune our successful venture and realize a handsome profit for both of us. If it is convient I wish to purchase ..2500 boxes of the Terger Grand Supremo, 3000 boxes of the Cherry Hill Cigars, 5000 boxes of the base cigars, 1000 pounds of the raw cherry tobacco and 1000 pounds of the raw tobacco for pipes. Additionaly should you have any other products that may be of interstes or any more of the Grand Supremeo Selects I would also be most intersted in purchasing those as well. I look forward to the pleasure of reading your reply.

Respectfully

M. Storm


Michael will then go above deck and see if he can have the letter deliverd this evening.

 

[Scotley]

The announcement of pay and a chance to go home brings a cheer from the men. Someone in the ranks asks, "will there be a bonus for recruiting?" Everyone falls to speculation about how they'll spend their money and plans to go ashore. No further questions are asked. Captain Storm is able to find a shipping clerk in his office that is willing to arrange delivery. Getting someone to go out to Boudreau's plantation at night will cost you a gold. Chandar and the expected guards still have not arrived.

 

[J. Alexander]

Port Call

Michael will gladly pay the gold to have the messeage delivered. Before that he will say to the crew "I had not thought about it but yes, there will be a bounty of 1 gold per qualified individual you refer to our crewe and if that person is accepted then it will go to 5 gold. Does that sound far to you men?"

After the crew is disassembled, Michael will wait 30 minutes and if Chandar has not arrived, he will contact him via the pearl earring.
