Simple
Michael will stay the course with the long guns..........and maybe two pistols similar to the long rifels but using pistol ranges and the 2d6..I thinki it is best to focuse and concertate on these few and slowly expand...

A pretty good crowd has gathered to watch the shows on the dock. Food and ale vendors are doing a brisk business. The acts vary from droning bad singers to an impressive acrobatic troop and a pretty good acting troop with a few good singers. There may actually be some performers worth using in the future among those auditioning in you little 'dwarven idol' contest. Fortunately, the performances seem to be getting progressively better as the event goes on, which keeps the crowd and your own men happy. The newlyweds, Chandar and Fa'Duatha actually dance a romantic slow dance together on the foredeck during one crooner's performance. Grumbar's new kitchen is cranking out plenty of good if simple food for the crew to eat while enjoying the show.

Michael will enjoy the show for the first few hours then seeing all is well and mostly secure, he will go below and thank Grumbar and his galley crew for their sacrafice in not being able to see all the show "Perhaps Master GRumbar while we are in for repairs you could recruit you two or three assistants who you could then train up in addition to your hands here for our new ships"....Michael will then go back topside where he will say chat briefly then inform Chandar, Grond and the officers as well as the priestess that he is retiring to his cabin for the night. "No slight to the performers, but it is for the crew to judge who they like..then reaching into his pocket he will hand a 50gp pouch over to the Priestess. "Please see that this is divided among all the performes with my thanks for a job well done" As he descends to his cabin he will ask Chandar to have two guards posted on the quartedeck, two outside his cabin.

A new day...
Gumbar asks permission to go ashore over the next couple of days and visit some eating establishments. There he hopes to find some young cooks in training who would be interested in going to sea.
Michael has had a long day. Despite the noise of performers and crowds he is soon asleep and undisturbed until nearly 9 the next morning. At that point he wakes on his own. He is confused at first because he can still hear singing. Did the show go on all night? But then he recognizes the slightly silibant voices of the crew. It seems that Willum is capitalizing on the enthusiasm for music engendered by the previous evening's performance is is working with the crew on some songs.

The ship is still a mess from the previous day's excitement. Crews are working to clear the final debris and plans are being drawn up for the repairs. Giuseppe comes to the table. "Captain, will we being doing all the upgrades and repairs you've asked for ourselves or hiring outside help?"

Smiling to himself and the young man Michael will say "I had not given it that much thought, we should see who is avaialbe to do the repairs proefesionaly. Why dont you take a squad and go ashore and visit the various ship wirghts etc and see if they are interested in a job."
He will continue, "Until then we can have the crew get her ready with a through cleaning and scrubbing"
Then as if stiking upon a thought Michael will ask for Lt. IMpariell. Once the toad man arrives he says "We need to make sure everything we have is clean and properly stored for the long trip. Go ashore with a small party and visit the local laudiys and ask if the can handel all our linens, the crews clothes, even or canvas tarps and sails, I want it all laundred, cleaned, repaired and then have the crew repack it with the appropiate herbs etc to prevent mildew and decay."
He will then summon Chandar, "Col. take some men and go visit the arms and armour makers. We need reliable and sturdy gear for our marines and marines that will be training on Terger. Look and bring back your recommendations as to what equipment you would like to see them have"

"Very good Captain. I'll see what I can find and pass along your orders to the men." With that Guisseppi is off.
Imparell nods his understanding and issues orders to start gathering thing to be washed, mended or discarded. He then makes his own way ashore.
Finally, Chandar considers for a moment and comments, "I have some ideas about weapons, armor is a little more tricky. Traditionally, Marines are lightly armored do to the risk of falling into the water or being on a sinking ship in heavy armor. The salt water also makes maintaining metal armor a challenge. Do you want to stick with the traditional cork and canvas or risk something heavier? Should I get some heavier armor for troops on garrison duty?"

"Good question Col, lets say we look at chainmail for ther marines and we can see about adding some magic to prevent rust etc.......and yes for garrison troops some heavier armor. I will leave it in your hands to decided what is best."
