A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[J. Alexander]

The Crystal Princess

17th day of Sunstime in the 2nd year of the reign of Xenieda the First
Abaord the Retribution

Seeing the loss of time and it's causes Michael will stow his anger and only cast a few very reporachfull glances to the night crew and the officers invovled. While the sails are being reset, Michael will make my the most of his time by studying the charts of the area with Guiesspiee, Grond and Ambar

 

[Scotley]

The charts suggest that the area is fairly uncomplicated. There is a reef or two and some dagerous rocks, but nothing to really worry about. The depth is manageable for your people. It almost looks too easy. The sail repair goes well and within six hours the Retribution is making good speed. The lookouts report only a few other ships in the area. By the end of the day you've made a reasonable distance given the pause for repair. Night falls again.

OOC: Another roll?

1d20-> [10] = (10)

trouble

 

[Scotley]

OOC: A 10 will get you a pass this time.

The evening passes uneventfully, and the night crew seems to have made up perhaps a half an hour of lost time. Morning dawns with dark clouds low on the Western horizon however...

Not being a seasoned sailor Michale comment to Mangrum and Imparalli, "Looks like foul weather, perhaps we should secure the ship in case it catches us"
They will then continue along their course to the Crystal Princess


OCC: How was the holiday did you eat lots of chicken

 

[Scotley]

Mangram nods, "The reports I read before we set out suggested that this won't be too big a blow, the Druids can be relied upon to keep the weather here in the inner sea pretty smooth. But as you say, we'll batten down the hatches and take in some sail."

Imparell adds, "I agree that some caution is in order. I'd suggest we alter the watch and give our more seasoned men a rest. When the chop gets worse I expect some of the newer men will be seasick. I for one would prefer a firm experienced hand on the tiller and sails when things get busy."

"See to it then gentlmen" and as they turn he says "And get use to it, we will be acting on your observations and suggestions a great deal on this trip to Bornhome in preparation of you assuming your commands"

 

[Scotley]

The two officers smile at the prospect of command. Both move off to instuct the men as to their duties. Michael watches as men leave the deck to rest and others come on duty. A party of men start checking lines and making sure everything is secure. He see another group go to the hold for similar duty. Nicolas/Amabar comes on deck yawning and carrying a mug of tea. "What stired up the beehive?" Then he eyes the low clouds, "Ah first storm with the new crew. Should be in the thick of it by lunch huh? I guess we'll see who's a real seaman now. Anything I can do?"

Smiling Michael says "Thank the song that we have Mangrun, Guiisspei and Imparial on board, i would be lost if it called for a true seaman"....then continuing.."Just keep and ear out for what the old and new crew memebers are saying and among the newer ones look for anything suscicius,,i dont think they would have had time to plant someone but you never know...so lets be careful"

OCC: should you not be dealing with th van crises or chasing black women down the street ...personaly i think you need to apply for the relaity series "The next super hero" you could be "The couseloR" or better yet Medicade Man

 

[Scotley]

"Will do Captain. I too doubt they could get a mole aboard, but we can't be too careful."

OOC: Care to roll a d20?

Very droll, I hope a duck nips your ankle today. I'm off--faster than a speeding wheelchair, more powerful than the odor from the men's room, able to leap tall paperwork in a single bound...
