A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[Scotley]

OOC: I'm having serious issues getting EN World to work today.

Grumbar explains that he did ask the Ogres to take the construction trash out. He's not used to dwarves being this intolerant. Most places want trade and do not make a point of harrassing trading ships. He feels that something more is happening here.

Dwarves

Quietly Michael will say "Something must be afoot then, but perhaps it is only a young man looking to make a name for himself by playing on old prejudices etc....let us hope so" then Michale will add "I take it the galley restoration has went well from all the builiding i have heard going on"

 

[Scotley]

"Oh yes, I will be able to do wonderful things down there now. You'll gain 20 pounds this next voyage."

OOC: Had to rescue the budding chef before she gave those poor boys food poisoning.

 

[J. Alexander]

Smiling at Grumbar's comment Michael will say "20 is to much how about just 2 or 3, now young Guiesspie i imagine you can feed him up".....MIchale will then return to the deck where the Watch is talking to the ogiers.

 

[Scotley]

The watch Captain clearly has little to say to the Ogres though you get in on the tale end of Fraxin's comments about the dwarf lord and his men "kickin' serious undead ass." The Watch Captain turns back to Michael and steps away from the Ogres. "I think I've heard enough for now Captain. I trust you to remain in port until this matter is resolved. I'm going to station a man at the foot of the gangway to make sure there is no more trouble. I suggest you restrict you men to the ship for now. I'll be back this evening to talk further unless you have anything you'd like to add?"

Dwarves

"Very well Captain, I will keep the crew close to ship and we shall only go out on matters of business or ship's provisioning" Michael says...After the watch departs, MIchael will call for Grumbar and Willum to join him briefly.."The crew should not be punished or feel slighted because of this incident. Please arrange for fresh provision and perhaps a half steer to roast for thenext two nights Master Grumbar and Willium I wish you to seek out and engage entertainers for the crew"

 

[Scotley]

"Very good sir, I'll fix a feast that will keep the lads too full to worry about going ashore." Willum nods, "I'll see what sort of entertainment can be found here straight away." Both men set off for the city of Odessapolis. Giuseppe reports that 7 men, 5 humans and 2 dwarves have come seeking employment. They can be found at the nearby offices of the Port Authority.

"Very well, let's go interview them then Guiessppie" Michael will stop briefly before heading out to speak with Nicholas and Grond. Quietly he says "I dont know what is afoot, but perhaps ambar should nose around a bit and see what is going on. And Grond I would feel better if you would get with Chandar and see how the ship can be secured, I dont know but we may have callers of a rowdy sort once those young dwarves get about driniking and telling tales of monsters aboard" Michael will then set off with Guiesspie and two human marines to the Port Authority office.

Dwarves et al

As he makes his way to the Port Authority, Michael will keep an eye out for anything differnent and or interesting with which to perhaps gift his crew with. He will also stop at various food / trinket stalls etc to check on items and in particular looks for blankets, quilts.

 

[Scotley]

Amabar slips quietly onto the streets of the city to see what he can find out. Chandar increases the watch including stationing a pair of stout humans at the foot of the gangway. He gives the Ogres responsibilities out of sight, at least for now. It will be hard to keep the big guys below decks for long as it is very cramped for them and they spend most of their time on deck.

Michael finds the local markets rich with mushrooms, wool and sheeps milk cheeses. He is able to acquire plenty of well made woolen blankets. There is a lot of jewelry for sale. In addition to items of precious metal, some handsome pieces in worked semi-precious stone can be found. Beautiful inlay and carving work is done here at modest prices.
