"Welcome to the Oak and Anvil Lieutenant. I'd be happy to have you as a guest as well. I will have another place set momentarily." He snaps his fingers and a waiter arrives in an instant. "Another place at my table this evening and please, get these gentlemen whatever they'd like from the bar." He says, "just give me a moment to attend to a couple more details and I'll join you." The waiter looks at you expectantly as Rockhammer glides away.
OOC: I hope to convince you to join the Mermaid's Rest game despite a few growing pains. I'll endeavor to tell the tale as best I can when we get a chance to talk.

Giuseppe does follow suit an orders whiskey. You are seated at the table and two generous crystal old-fashioned glasses of dwarven whiskey arrive. On the heels of the waiter a half-dozen dwarves, a pair of Gnomes and a halfling come into the dinning room from the bar to take seats. Rockhammer returns from another door chatting with a pair of stately old dwarves about some sporting event their grandchildren have recently taken part in. Rockhammer takes his seat at the head of the table placing Michael and Giuseppe in places of honor on his right. Across from Michael is a magnificently bearded old dwarf introduced as Judge Petros. His neighbor is a younger man who's gold jewelry could be measured in pounds rather than ounces, named Blentov. Beside Guiseppi is a robe clad dwarf introduced as Magus Bentwood. Opposite his is a rakish looking gnome in bright colors named Glimmerdwang. Opposite Rockhammer is a battle-scared bald fellow missing a couple of fingers and wearing a monocle introduced as Colonel Spearbright. Drink orders are taken and water glasses filled. Most of them drink ale though the Gnome asks for wine and Spearbright also has whiskey. Most of the men seem to already know each other, as is common in dwarven society there are no women present. Rockhammer asks, "So Captain, what brings a prestigious pirate fighter such as yourself to our humble shores."

Dinner
Smiling as if amused with himself Michael will say "I dont know if i would call myself prestigious..but i have had a bit of luck and in the process was able to better myself and help a friend out as well as spoil the day of a pirate or two." Taking a sip of his whiskey he continues.."As to my visit, I will confess it was a chance happening...I was sailing to try to retrive the Crystal Princess to add another ship to the fleet when my crew fell ill due to an allergic reaction. We put into port so they could recover and I decided to allow my cook, Grumbar a chance to buy proper cooking utensils, hopefully recruit some additionaly crew...and sell and or buy cargo..very simple really"

The judge speaks up, "The Crystal Princess you say? The one that was scuttled? Very interesting. Rockhammer is good about finding interesting dinner companions for us, but your tale must be curious indeed." The Gnome grins and begins to twirl his moustache at the mention of 'sell and or buy', but he doesn't comment. A waiter appears and Rockhammer comments, "We have two options this evening. A roast wild boar courtesy of the hunting skill of the good Colonel here," he raises his glass to the bald man opposite, "or a fine catch of fresh grouper landed this morning."

Dinner
"I think i will have the boar, it sounds most appetizing" Michael will comment. The taking another small sip of the whiskey he will say "Yes i lucked into a possible location by accident while i was at "Mermaids Rest" a week or so ago. A scoundrel of the most interesting sort had a map and i suspect a hand in the scuttling of the ship, offered it to me at a fair price. As he had dealt fairly with me before on a few matters, i felt it worth the risk of coin." Then taking another small sip..he says "Or it could be that having made a favorable trade with an ilustrioius halfling i felt lucky and decided in favor of a gamble" Michael says with a wink.

Giuseppe also orders the boar. At the mention of Mermaid's Rest there is a murmur around the table, word of recent events there has spread. "So you don't know if you'll actually find the ship you seek when you follow the map? An interesting treasure hunt," notes the Magus. "You are a gambling man then? We like a game of chance now and then in the evenings." Michael notes some nods of agreement around the table.

Laughing slightly Michael will smile "You have found me out...yes upon occasion i like to wager but in regards to the "Crystal Princess" i think the odds or more or less in my favor...the map like i said is close to her last reported position..and comes from a source who most likely knows those involved in the attempt to take her...." then once again pausing briefly he adds "And if he plays me false..then he has broken faith with me and I then have a legitimate reason to hunt him down for the pirate he is"
