A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[J. Alexander]

Dwarves

MIchael will stop briefly at one or two cheese merchants, a few blanket merchants and at three or four of the craft stalls with the inlay worked and askt them to call upon him this afternoon and or tomorrow about selling their wares and engaging their services. He will then what sort of people are offering to join his crew.

 

[Scotley]

A small group of men and dwarves can be found hanging around in a park like area outside the Port Authority. They have the look of sailors. They are chatting or drinking and a few are playing cards on a bench.

Port Call

Michael will walk towards the small group and say "I am Captain Storm, are you perhaps the individials seeking employment with my ship"

 

[Scotley]

One of the human men sitting on the ground looks up. "Aye, yours or any other boat that will take us off this God's forsaken rock." He has obviously been drinking. A few of the other men nod, but look at the drunk with disgust.

Dwarves

"Godforsaken Rock" that sounds like an interesting tale perhaps if you will share it with me we can reach some accomodation"

 

[Scotley]

The man stands and makes a reasonable attempt at coming to attention. "Seaman first class Sewell sir. Captain, its like this two weeks ago, I landed here and parted ways with my previous ship. She was going in for a major refit and I foolishly thought I was better off here than at her last stop where all the other crew would be looking for work. Few enough ships are hiring here and the locals seem to have little use for a human worker. I'm a man of the sea anyway and these lubbers don't suit me too well."

Dwarves

"Well, I run more or less a dry ship and no outside spirits are allowed, if that is not a problem and you are willing to work with a divers crew then we can give you a shake down cruise so to speak to our next port. If at that time either party feels it is not a good fit, then you will be paid off" Michael then adds "Is that acceptable"

 

[Scotley]

"Hey, if it means getting off this rock, I'd set sail with the ferryman of the 9 hells. Sign me on Captain, and don't worry about the drink. I'll be a sober hand for you. You're not seeing me at my best."

 

[J. Alexander]

The Dwarves

"very well then" Michael says "Do the rest of you gentlemen feel more or less the same. If so let us head back to the ship unless there are more waiting"

 

[Scotley]

After a brief discussion Michael finds that there are 8 men, well 4 humans, 3 dwarves and a gnome looking for opportunities. Two of the humans are not so much sailors as marines and the same is true of one of the dwarves. The Gnome has some engineering experience and is familiar with the opporation of ballista and catapults.
