A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

Chandar

"Simple put you dont know" Michael says without rancour. "The question you need to ask is what would i have to gain...I have alreaday made a subsatinal investment in the community, an investement which could easily be delayed and or destroyed should I simple sail away and incur your wrath" continuing he says "And then there is the fact that i was willing to pull down your stockade and bring the fire and sword to all within in order to rescue my Col as I was honor bound to rescue him. Actions speak louder than any words or assurances i can offer...you must judge from what you have seen and know"

"I don't think so, I will let the others go if you and I guess one of your 'men' will be my guests this evening. At lunchtime we can continue our discussion."
 

Chandar

Laughing Michael says..."Back to that are we...i was hoping for more progress" then pausing a bit....."No that will not suffice....we have made attempts to right the wrong and explain our postion....It takes trust on both sides.....you want in effect hostages and that is something i can not do" pausing for a moment again Michael says..."Let's see we have been here about an hour..i am sure your troops all mustered and ready as i know my relief force is now in position....so we have a decesion....we can either decide to do business and reach a mutually acceptable agreement...or we can just dispense with the formalites and settle it by force.....your choice sir

After another heated debate with the counselors the Lizardman Chief throws up his hands. "Very well, go. I will discuss this at luncheon. He drains his wineglass and storms out leaving his counselors to show you and your people the door."

OOC: Drat! I thought I had you for moment there.
 

Chandar

With a slight bow Michael says "Agreed, shall we say 1pm then" turning to guiessipe and grond he says...lt lead us out.....Grond you bring up the rear. Walking over to Chandar he says..."if you can you need to walk out of here under your own power"
 

Departure

Chandar manages a lop-sided grin and is soon on his feet. His tail helps him stay up though he has a pronounced limp. He manages to stand tall and walk though Fa'Duatha is loath to let him go she strides at his side.

Outside the courtyard is lit by torches and it seems a few of the Lizardman's troops have been summoned, but likely not more than the company could handle.

The walk back to the retribution is uneventful. There are few people about in the pre-dawn hours until you return to the dock where fishermen are starting their day getting nets and boats ready. The ogres are grumbling a bit at being up all night without any plunder, but otherwise the company is in good spirits.

At the ship guards are alert and the marines cheer Chandar's return.

Arriving back at the ship, Michael will greet the crew with a wave. Boarding the ship, he will ask the officers to assembel the men...once assembled he will say ."I am in need of volunteers who are willing to delay their liberty by one day....we are going to host the Lizard Chieftian and his officers today at 1pm and i need for the Retribution to shine. This is voluntarily however..as i did promise you liberty today but it would be appreciated" Michael will then dismiss the men and summon Grumbar.."Can you once again perform a Miracel for me with your cooking.....and once again on short notice" he says smiling..."Perhaps we will have as many as 50 guests...i fear he will bring ever person even remotely considered staff..so we better jump it to 75..plus the crew....I was thinking roasted pig and if there was time perhaps a steer plus poultyr....what ever you can do.....feel free to hire additional help from the town...see Guiesspiee for the funds..." Then turning toward Guiessipee he says..."I know your tired but before you turn in.....for a brief rest...please take a party of sailors ashore and buy bread cheese etc for the ogiers and men..so grumbar will only have to worry about lunch" Then to the priestess, her acoloyte and Chandars..."let's get a few hours sleep before we discuss this...i am weary and we all need to process what has happend.''''

Then to Grond he quietkly sees.."Check with Nicholas and see what he has found out...i dont know what to expect today...but it will surely be interesting...so make plans accordingly." Then michael will leave orders for him to be awakend at 10 am. and retire to his cabin
 

Michael settles in and soon falls asleep, but is made somewhat restless by the activity on the ship. All too soon ten arrives and there is a tap on the door. A trencher of bacon and eggs with a fresh shrimp cocktail are brought in from a local tavern with a pot of tea. He can hear men scurrying about and the smell of cooking is in the air.
