"That indeed sounds like an excellent way to relax this evening...but I would ask that my Lieutiant be included if their is room, he is soon to take up his own command when his ship is finished and I feel every Captain should learn even if it is the hard way,,,when it it worth playing a hand out or cutting one's losses and folding" then as an aside "Excellent soup, I must impose upon your chef for the receipe so that i can give it to Master Grumbar my cook"

"Thank you, Emilo is rather talented with soups and sauces. I will pass your request and complement on," notes Rockhammer. The Gnome nods in agreement, "Cards do make a good metaphor for life's challenges. I must warn you we are just a group of old fellows who like a relaxing game after dinner. I hope you won't fleece us too badly." The others manage to keep a straight face in response to this comment suggesting that they may have some skill at bluffing.

Smiling at the Gnome MIchael will say "That is indeed a most interesting comment, last time I was asked not to fleece someone I wound up having to borrow money from friends just to get me thru the next week" The looking at Guiesspi he winks he adds "I do hope it is for tabel stakes only or I fear we may need turn into cash those lovely pearls"

The Gnome grins slyly. Rockhammer adds, "Oh we normally keep the stakes low. Once in a while somebody gets an urge for a more serious game and we up the ante, but we hadn't planned anything like that tonight." The Magus chimes in. "Pearls you say? I suppose you've got a whole boat load of pirate treasure after your exploits."

Smiling wistfully MIchael says "I truly wish it were the case....what i have is more mundane goods..the pirates I have run across seem to lack those chests of bullion and gems that set our hearts aflutter" then pausing he adds "With your permission" and reaches into his vest and removes the pouch of black pearls. "But like i said i did have some luck, and I think you gentlmen will all concur..they are exceptional and sure to set some husband to cursing my name when his wife sees them for sale" Michael will then hand the bag to the party nearest him for them to examine.

The pouch makes its way around the table and gets murmurs of approval and even one low whistle from the others at the table. The Gnome is rubbing his hands together and seems in danger of drooling. With the dinners deep in the conversation and examination of the pearls the next course of the meal passes with little attention, though the locally vinted Elderberry wine that accompanies it is quite good if inexpensive and unpretentious.

Taking the pearls and placing them back in his vest, Michael will then again comment on the wine. "So all is not lost in the profit realm it seems" Michale will then engage in the current flow of conversation.

The men discuss the current issues on the island. A hot debate right now seems to be about the construction of a new school. The old schools were all closed during the plague years and now that things seem to be getting better, parents are willing to let their children go out to school again. The Colonel tells a rousing story of his stalking and slaying the boar. As if on cue the meat is served and it seems likely that it was an impressive foe. The meat is a little tough, but well prepared and mildly seasoned so as not to over power the natural flavor. The meat is paired with a new wine that has just enough bite to pair well. The Gnome anounces that the wine is his from this past season's crop and that he's just opened the barrels this week.

When the discussion turns to the school, Michael will become very intersted. "The school sounds like an excellent idea, would they perhaps accept students who are amphian in nature?
