A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[J. Alexander]

Dinner

Having now Trips, Michael will push 100 gold into the pot. which should be about 1/2 of it's size.

OCC: Yeah but now i am worried and concerned......who the hell knows........

 

[Scotley]

The Magus bows out at this point, while the Colonel says, "What the hell, I'm up a little. I'll stay in." He matches the 100. Glimmerdwang burns another card and deals the final face up card, the Shaft--the Seven of Spades. The Colonel tosses out two more coins and waits to see what Michael will do.

What card was finally dealt?

OOC: I guess that might be useful info. I edited the post above.

Dinner

Thinking about the mechanics. Michael feels he is in a decent positon.......with at most the Col having a pair of kings or a pair of aces....so he will rasie the pot to 200 gold

 

[Scotley]

The Colonel looks at Michael for a moment, shakes his head and folds. He had a pair of Kings. "Well Captain, looks like you're off to a good start. Shall we deal another?"

Dinner

"Yes it I seem to be but i am sure that will change in time, I will admit though i like the complexity yet simplicity of this game. I thank you for introducing it to me" Michael will then play his hands as described earlier occasionaly he will bet into a pot just to fold a little in to keep his winnings around 200 gold.

 

[Scotley]

There is considerable good natured ribbing among the players and they obviously get together for such games regularly. Despite his heavy drinking, the Magus seems to be the strongest player in the group followed by the Judge though the Gnome has his moments and seems to be quite lucky. The Colonel is too aggressive which keeps him from being stronger. In the end Michael finds himself down a little. As the game is winding down the Glimmerdwang gets Michael alone. "So Captain. I hear you have a desire to buy and sell some cargo?"

 

[J. Alexander]

Dinner

Glad that he did not lose more Michael will end the game by thanking each one individual for the game and play. Addressing the gnome he will reply "Yes indeed I have a few items i would like to get rid up to free up more cargo space as well as always looking out for an good buy"...Michael says.Pausing to run thru his mind he says "Yes i think the household furnishings, the ladies fur jackets , as well as the premiume foodstuffs i need to part with"

 

[Scotley]

"Furs might bring a good price here and depending on what you call premium I might be interested in the foodstuffs as well." He takes out a card. "Come around to my shop tomorrow morning and we'll talk further. If I can't use the stuff I may be able to set you up with buyers. For a small fee of course. Now I really must be off." With a cry of 'Cheers Gentlemen,' he downs the rest of his drink and gives a bow and makes for the door. Several glasses and calls of 'Your health' come from the various fellows as he makes his way out. Reading the card he finds it says,

Glimmerdwang Redstar
The Jaunty Gnome
11b Publican Way
Odessapolis Port

The most interesting feature of the card is a small drawing of a ship. It seems to rise and fall on moving waves as the sails billow. A Gnome in sailors garb waves and smiles from the deck in what Michael would have to concede is a jaunty fashion. A cute little illusion, but impressive none the less.
