Meetings and Port Call
Michael will sleep in a bit say to 7:30 staying in his cabin and relaxing. Dressing for the day, he will start it on deck by reviewing the condition of the ship and it's crew before setting off with Grond to his breakfeast meeting with the port authority.

Morning Inspection
The ship comes to life slowly this morning. The marine guards looks sharp, but most of the other men are slow to rise after yesterday's hard work. A couple of men are swabbing the deck and another mends sails. The usual minor repairs and maintainence required after a voyage are being started. A pot of tar is being heated to a boil leaving an unpleasant smell over the deck. Because many men have been on leave or preparing for the party these details have been delayed.
Grond arrives on deck looking sharply turned out for the morning meeting. "I took the liberty of sending a small patrol out to survey our route and I expect them to return momentarily."

"That is well done indeed. I must be very tired indeed to forget about such details..the "True Song" be praised that i have you as a keeper" Michael says smiling. As they wait for the patrol to arrive back with their report, Michael will make lite conversation with the men...

Shore Patrol
The marines return shortly. "Sir the city seems quiet today. Just some people going about their work routines. Tregere feels awefully calm after a few Days and Mermaid's Rest," the man admits. Grond nods, "Very good. Shall we Captain?" As you step clear of the boat Grond says, "I really didn't expect any trouble this morning, but it is good for the men and a good habit to be in."

With a smile Michael says "Yes, we had best set the pattern for caution and security. I am happy to have you taking care of that aspect as I had forgetten about it. I trust you will not mind the training of the marins and our forces in security matters"

"Captain I can of course train the Marines in such matters, but I wish you would consider Col. Chandar in this as well. Perhaps if we wait a bit it would be best. Maybe if the Col. has some nuptual leave coming? He and I have a good working relationship now and I do not wish to give offense. His pride is already bruised by the incident with his prespective father-in-law. The fact that you personally had to call out the troops and come to his rescue is a serious blow to his ego."

Strolling in Tregere
Grond and Michael have a pleasant stroll through the morning at Tregere. The weather is pleasant though the clouds on the horizon suggest rain late in the day. Grond keeps a vigilant eye on the locals you pass, but there is no obvious threat. The Port Authority man awaits you at his office. After a brief exchange of pleasantries he leads you to a small skiff and a pair of toad men begin to row up a narrow stream heading North. After about 10 minutes you arrive at a rustic looking wooden dock lined with flowering plants. A dozen small boats of various sorts are already docked. A group of 20 or so locals, apparently rowers, lounge in the sun sipping some sort of mint tea from large glasses and chatting, whittling, or just relaxing. Above the dock is a stone stair leading up to a house. The steps are bleached white by years of exposure to salt and sun. You can hear breakers from beyond the house suggesting it overlooks the beach. As you make you way up the stair more of the house becomes visible. A stately old place in heavy stone squatting on the top of the hill. It is a two story affair with deep wrap around porches below and shaded balconies above. The smell of bacon, coffee and fresh baked bread wafts down as you approach. Along the hill to the right is an extensive garden protected by a low stone wall topped by a green painted wooden fence. Every third board has a starfish shaped cut out near the top. To the left a gate in a waist high stone railing supported by thick round columns about two feet high is manned by an attractive woman in a white dress that is flattering though not unduly revealing. She wears a large white hat with a very deep brim to protect her from the sun. A few men are standing nearby on the back patio smoking. Flowering bushes, some sort of azaleas limit your view of the outdoor dinning area beyond the woman. She greets your host with a squeeze on the arm and he gives her a peck on the cheek. She says in a polished voice, "Ah Gustav, so good to see you again. Will there be three for breakfast this morning?" She looks at him and he looks at you obviously wondering if Grond will join you or await you.
