A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

"I suppose 10,000 will be more than adequate for initial investments in property, livestock and pigment making. Do you plan to lease properties, buy them or sub-contract for the produce and meat?"

"That is likely a wise course. Most of the land that isn't directly controlled by the nobility is of little value. The cost of improvement and reclaimation could be quite high."
 

The Party

"Well the old nobility does try so hard to keep people from bettering themself it seems, I take it from the comments of Lord Contralle that he is none to willing and happy to see others rise in station. That is his loss, I look for merit in partners not position as over time merit is vastly more profitable. As for the land I say three to five small manors that we can recalim over time. We can use them as a base to help the local peoples better themself as well as providing a pool of skilled suppliers who may prove to be loyal.
 

"That seems a reasonable course. That Contrall, he's a problem. He tends to see Tregere as his personal reserve." He drains his glass, "well Captain, I really must depart. I look forward to a profitable partnership. If there is nothing more I'll gather my aides and my daughter and burden your fine hospitality no more today."
 

The Party

"No, I really dont have anything more. I would say were in a holding pattern for the next 6 months or so while our base for animals, etc are being created. I will send copies of the paperwork for the accounts in the next few days." Extending his hand Michael says, "It has been a pleasure, I only wish we would have met under less trying circumstances,,,but non the less i am looking forward to a very long lasting and profitable partnership" MIchael will then escourt the chieftian to the main deck and out to the party proper and see them off. Once they leave he will indicate to Grumbar to strart wrapping things up and will return to the ship for his next meeting.
 

The Chieftan and his people depart without incident. Grumbar and his cooks as well as the local hired help have put in a hard day's work and look tired, but there is a twinkle in Grumbar's eye that suggests he enjoyed the challenge. They begin to shut down and most people get the hint. As the flow of drink is cut off the rest get the message and soon only a handful of people cleaning up are left.

OOC: Damn! I can't remember who's meeting is next.
 

After the Party

As the party winds down, Michael will summon Guiessipee and the water rangers back to the ship for some rest and refreshment as they were unable to enjoy the party. Awaiting the arrival of the port officical and the barge master, Michael will hold conference first with the priestess, chandar and ship's officers to get their impressions etc then privately with Grond and Ambar.
 


EVening

Michael will then just spend the time in his cabin resting from the long night and hours. Feeling tired he takes off all the extra equipment and asks that a hot bath be brought to him. Once arriving he will sink into it's warmth and relaexs till it goes tepid. Then changing into fresh clothing and undies he will await his visitors and or any report.
