A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[J. Alexander]

The Dwarf's

Laughing in a sinster manner Michael will add "Tis my men who responded to disclipine and their Captain's orders, what does that say of the reputed disclipine of dwarven nobles when they let their emotions cloud their reason." Perhaps because he is tired, stressed and just a little pissed off Michael will continue letting his eldritch aura flare a dark reddish black "I have no quarrel with you sir but if you persist in sending your seconds to call, I will be more than happy to send in person to soulforgers hall." Michael will then call out "Col. Chandar, I wish to board my ship, if these so called nobels interfer with the passage of myself or any of the crew I give you leave to treat them like the errant school boys they are behaving as while you summon the watch."

"It is no surprise those dogs heel for you, they are mere animals. I assure you Captain I am quite in control of my emotion else I would slay you where you stand. You say you have no quarrel with me, yet you continue to insult me." He nods to one of his fellows, "yes, let us summon the watch, immediately, for I fear this rascal lacks honor and will not stand to my challenge. Sir, if you attempt to board that ship and leave dwarven soil before this matter is settled then you will be branded a coward as well as a trafficker in monstrous creatures."

Laughing still, Michael says in a amused tone "Yes do summon the watch and if you feel the need send your seconds as well as it appears you have a death wish" Walking toward the ship "You will find me having luncheon so feel free to call upon me then" then turning to chandar he says "Col. Chandar, please inform me when the watch has arrived so I may speak with the..and of course the second from this walking corpse should he choose to prusue the matter any further. Then trusting to dwarven honor etc....Michael will walk past them and onto the Retribution.

 

[Scotley]

The dwarf steps aside as one of his fellows runs as fast as he can in chain mail for the watch. "Very well Captain, if you choose to leave Dwarven soil without addressing my challenge then I will see you branded. I only hope the judge will see fit to let me mark your yellow hide with the coward's brand myself rather than having the royal executioner do it."

 

[Scotley]

OOC: And you thought I'd be full and happy today.

Addressing the dwarf Michael says with scorn and resignation "I do belive i am far from running my dear boy, perhaps when your beard has fully set in and developed you will understand the difference bewteen running and waiting in comfort. Besides until I untie from your dock i do belive i am still considered to be on territory belonging to the port of Odesspoils thus dwarven soil." Michael will then say "Lt. Mangrum please have a table and chairs set up on the quarter deck as we will have visitors soon and inform Master Grumbar that we are expecting guests and light snake would be most welcome."

 

[Scotley]

The dwarf turns his back, and says to his remaining companions. "I shall not witness such a craven act nor listen to further insult." He moves a short distance down the dock. The table is prepared on deck. Soon a party of the Dwarven watch arrives. The bow and scrap before the lordlings and listen to a story that involves several guestures toward the ship. Finally, the four young dwarves depart and the lead watchman comes to the gangway requesting permission to come aboard.

Michael will stand up from the table and address the newly arrived watch "Please do gentlemen, Lt. Mangrum please show the gentlmen up. Could i offer you some tea or coffee perhaps"

 

[Scotley]

One Dwarf, his surcoat marked with the Gold braid of a watch Captain comes aboard. "I thank you Captain, I'm sure that it is quite good, but given that you are the subject of an investigation; it would be unseemly for me to partake of anything you offer. I'm sure you understand. I am here to inform you that several serious allegations have been made against you and your ship." He glances about. "I would like to look around to explore the veracity of these claims before this goes any further. Do I have permission to search your ship as part of this investigation, or will you force me to seek a warrant?"

"May I ask the nature of the charges"
