A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[J. Alexander]

Dwarves

Somewhat stunned by the offer, Michael will say this is generous and I accept but in fairness only at 25 percent above the rate. "Please tell the Chief that i am truly sorry for what has befallen his clan it with his permission, as I seek out the perperators for my own vengence I shall keep him advised of the developements"....pouring some wine for them all Michael adds "I would also be intersted in hiring clan McKay for a construciton project that i am needing massive stonework and engineering expertise on"

 

[Scotley]

The Herald responds that he will convey your counter offer to the clan and that he thinks it very likely that they will be happy to accept your price. He thanks you for the wine and takes a sip and smiles, clearly pleased with it.

"Clan McKay has produced some fine engineers and contractors. We've a thousand years experience and are always happy to consider a project. Can you tell me more about this particular contract so that I can take it back to the Clan for their consideration."

 

[J. Alexander]

The contract

"I can do better than that" Michale says as he produces a rough copy of the blueprits. "As you can see, I willneed solid stone work for the barrel vaults that support the supper structure as well as for the piers and dry docks. currenlty i have crews involved in builiding the outlined draiange ditches along the exterior" Michael says..."If you wish, you can take this copy if it will help" Michael will then see him off the ship with his thanks and a personal letter to the Chief.

Chief of Clan Mckay

I am happy to hear that your nephew will recover in time and that further disaters were avoided. I truly wish we had meet under more pleseant circumstances but count myself fortunate to have meet you. Please convey my sypahties to the young dwarfs immediate famiies and if I can be of further assistance just call upon me. I will sail within three weeks and with your permission shall keep you posted of any events related to the Masque.

Respectfully

M. Storm

Michael will then summon the priestess and bring her up to date. "We are facing a cunning and foul foe here. we need to see to the ship's defences...Do you think we should recruit another healer or more divine support?"

Michael will then call for an officers dinner that evening to discuss matters.

 

[Scotley]

The Herald and the Messenger take a copy of the blueprints and he assures you that he will be in touch before you sail in three weeks time. They dispatch your letter to the Clan Chief as well.

Nac'Losin consider over one of your good cigars. "I can always use the help, but if you involve the church of heaven formally in your crew you'll be getting more eyes and ears than you may want."

 

[J. Alexander]

The Priestess

Smiling somewhat slyly at the Priestess he says "well i was hoping that you could help me recruit a few from your order or other affiliated orders who are not so how we say pickey when it comes to how serious matters sometimes have to be dealt with"......then as a suprise Michael turns the conversation "I promised you a temple i belive so what do you think of using one of the four cornerstone buildins as an open air temple to your faith in the compound...as with the other builidgs. rooms etc will be below the main level but it would have a lovely view overlooking both the inner and outer gardens."

 

[Scotley]

Nac'Losin grins, "well if you have the time to groom my own help then I'm more than interested. Having a proper temple at the compound is also very appealing. It will be an ajustment for the faithful though. They are not used to such fine temples. I'm sure they'll learn to live with it though."

 

[J. Alexander]

Port Call

"What strenghths you strengthns me" Michael says..."And besides a promise is a promise and I will proably need you close by for many years to keep me out of the weeds"

 

[Scotley]

"We have accomplished much in a short time, but I wonder how long we can survive at the pace you set."

 

[J. Alexander]

Conservations

"I honestly wonder that myself Priestess, so much has happend that just had to be dealt with or so it seemed...then the unexpected...I am hoping that the three weeks here will prove a blessing allowing us to settle down somewhat...we then go to the Crystal Princess to raise her and then on to Bronholm....but we do need to put things in place,, thus the rush..upon our return from the North I wish things to be completed on Tergere and have a home/base consturcted for all our people.. then i will get about construcint the ship. I am hoping for a more or less peacful trading voyage to Bornholm so things could settle down....and would i be remis in asking if you could possible be persuaded to brew or purchase as many potions of healing as you can during the next three weeks......I want to be prepared for the future and dont want anyone left at risk if we can"


Michael will then spend the day resting..and waiting for dinner...

Magic Items

As per our discussion with Chandar earlier....Michael can craft Crystals of Aquatic Action MIC page 25 and afix them to the chainmail..this gives them the ability to breath water as well as some movement in water.. at no penalites...I think the cost is like 500 gp to great so a really good value...

Better yet I found one for just 500 gold pieces that allows the wearer to breath underwater for 5 rounds........i think that will be the most cost effective.........
