A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[Scotley]

"Ugh, I hate having live animals aboard. The noise and the mess is enough to drive a woman to drink, but the Reach is known for its beef. I'll see if I can't manage to find room for a few calves next time around." She proves a pleasant conversationalist and Michael gets a couple of tips about trading up north that he can use. Captain Iago has never made the IceWatch run, but she has been as far North as Crosscoft. The wine changes from the white to a red and comes out with a nice hearty Western Reach cheese that pairs very well. On the tail of this comes a somewhat bitter dark chocolate with just the barest hints of strawberry and black pepper served with crisp waffer cookies that together also work with the wine. "Okay your chef is trying to kill me now. This is wonderful, but I can't hold much more."

Gesturing towards the food "I feel that way myself a few times each week.If I am not careful i will need new clothingmade"..Michaelwill continue the chat and as the evening winds down will send Guiessippee and a squad of marines to accompany her back to her ship"

OCC: Yeah i know the heat is killing me....

should you not be home moving furniture

 

[Scotley]

Full and satisfied that the negotiations have gone reasonably well, you part for the evening and Captain Iago returns to her ship, with her stalwart crewmen and a squad of marines. She jokes that a sedan chair might have been more useful, but she does not reject the protection. The noises of the ship die down as evening settles in.

OOC: I'm pretty much done with furniture moving. There are some boxes to put in the attic from stuff we took out of the closets, but I'm waiting for cooler weather before I go up there.

Settling in for the evening, MIchael looks forward to a quite evening. He will pass theword to the officers that the ship will sail the day after tomorrow on the morning tide as had been planned...then he will take a chair to the quarterdeck and quietly smoke his cigar and catch up on news from the ship's officers before returning to bed.

 

[Scotley]

The officers report that the ship will be ready to sail on time and will be in tip top shape. Work parties return from the Judith D to report that they made some progress on repairs there and that they should have all the purchased cargo aboard sometime late tomorrow. As the reports are winding down Guiseppi returns to the ship to report the latest gossip from the town. Just about dusk Lord Contrall was attacked by some sort of swamp creature and swept from his boat. He was returning to his estate after a shopping trip in town. His men tried to save him, but he was pulled into the water and vanished beneath the swamp after a violent struggle, and while they eventually found the body, he was quite dead. His body was taken to the villa and the high priests of the various temples have all been summoned. Amabar is not aboard.

Responding to Guiesspies news Michael will only comment "That is sad to hear, but accidents do happen?"....Michael will then wait a decent interval and return to his cabin where he will await Ambar's return........and smile

 

[Scotley]

Michael has a good long wait. The night is punctuated by the baying of hounds and the tramp of marching feet. The crew is restless, but nothing troubles the ship. Finally, in the wee hours of the morning, there is a light tap at the cabin door. Amabar, wet, wounded and reeking of swamp is without.

Opening the door, Michael will quickly help Ambar to a chair. Then pouring the man a glass of red wine and casting clean cnatrips on him and the area he will quickly hurry to his chest and remove a potion of cure serioius wounds which he gives to Ambar. Completing this, MIchael will ask "Have you had anything to eat?"

Nicolas

He downs the potion and sighs as the healing warmth spreads through his body. He nods his thanks for the clean up. "Not since breakfast. I was only staking the fellow out, but when I saw the right opportunity I seized it. He proved an able foe and his men determined pursuers."
