Welcome Wagon
As the man leaves, Michael will say "Captaiin Giraldii Sir" as Giraldii turns back from the door, Michael will left a purse containg 100gp and toss it to him "You forgot you advance payment on potiential commisisions. I pay well for all those who help me in my trading and who help me live in peace"

The man catches the purse easily and after a quick heft and a slight smile the purse vanishes into his uniform. "A pleasure doing business with a man who has his priorities straight. Until this evening." He nods and departs. Their ship is soon flying canvas and moving smartly toward the 'Rest.
Grond appears at Michael's side. "I can't say I trust that lot."

Summoning the Officers
Turning to Grond, Michael will say, "Yes your right, wer are going to have to tread very carefully, it was costly for sure, but we needed to secure acess to an avenue of information and maybe just maybe their greed will blind them somewhat and give us an edge. However at all costs we must avoid tying up at the so called private dock"
Taking a deep breath Michael will contiune"We are on dangerous shoals here my friend, very dangerous shoals. Summon the officers for a meeting, we must discuss this most carfully and prepare. Also please be so kind as to have Master Grumabar come to my cabin. Then please return, we have much to discuss"
Summoning Guiesspiee, Michael will ask him to have a few sailors come down and rearrange the furntiure so Chandar and Grond are comfortable during the discussion.

Preparations for Diiner
Addressing the Dwarf, Michael will say "Master Grumbar, I need for you to prepare one of yhour excellent dinners for tonight. We shall eat at 7:00 p.m. and i wish to impress this rouge of a Port Authority. Likewise, can you prepare a very nice meal for the crew and inform them that lunch will be a little late as you are making something special. I fear one in Mermaid's REst none of us will have time until we leave to enjoy your excellent fare"
Michale will then wait for Grond and the officers to assemble

"Humm, I have a nice standing rib roast that should be impressive to someone at the 'Rest. I gather fresh meat is in short supply there. Now what to have with it? The vegetables we have aboard are fair, I'll try and come up with something. Let's see I have some fresh rosemary and plenty of butter. Dessert, let me think..." He trails off as he wanders back down to the galley planning for a fine meal.
A sailor comes in and they arrange the furniture for a meeting. Soon your staff is all in attendance--Grond, Imparell, Mangram, Chandar, Nac'Losin, and Guiseppi.

Assembled Officers
As the officers sit down, Michael will relate the course of events and the ground work he has laid in regards to protectoin fees as well as the purchase of some hulks and other stolen merchandise. He will relate the offer of a private dock, and his refusal as well as his warning and its reception byGiraldii.
"Having told you the events, it should be fairly obvious that we need to be on our guard at all times. I do not think it wise to grant the crew liberity while in Mermaids Rest, and perhaps we can lay the groundwork to smooth that disappointment over. Does anyone know anyting about this Giraldii and who he may represent or anything that may be helpful? Does anyone have a major problem with us purchasing these goods and transhipping them North?

Officers Call
Nac'Losin breaks tradition and speaks first rather than last as is typically her habit. "I must agree that we not partake of 'shore leave'. Most of the crew have little experience outside their home island and would be ripe picking for the scoundrels who undoubtably inhabit such a place." She takes a deep breath and considers for a moment before speaking further. She fixes Michael with her gaze and continues, "That is a warning for all of us. The folk of this place are the lowest sort of schemers and conmen. Do not assume that you are wiser or that our small crew is stronger than they are." After that statement the others are silent for a while.

Officer's Call
"You are absoly right Madam Nac'Losin, we dare not assume we are smarter or stronger than they are. Perhaps I tiped our hand a little to much with them but I am hoping that their greed will get the best of them and help protect us to some extent. Do you think they will allow another crew to prey on us when they themselves stand ready to gain it all? Further, we can be easliy overwheled by sheer nubmbers that is evident. We can hope that thru our prepartions and Captain Chandar's men that they will consider any victory they may gain not worth the buthcer's bill they will have to pay in order to acquire it"
Pausing for a moment MIchael will look at the assembled officers and gage their reaction befor continuing. "Any suggestions you may have as to how we should approach the ships defense etc will be most welcome. Besides the water nets and I am of the impression that Captain Chandar may be our ace in the hold by being able to patrol the water from the water. I will leave it up to you Captain Chandar to work out a defense plan for the ship."
Turning to the other officers, Michael will say "Lieutiants Mangrun, Imparell and Guiesspiee will each be in charge of a division. Their divison will stand an 10 hour watch each with the divisions overlapping by a few hours each cycle. I now this will be very inconvient for the crew but I deem it necessary that we be ready at all times for potiential problems. Further in my abscence it shall go by senority as to who commands the ship per our earlier understanding. I fear I may have to go ashore for a bit, I have commited to at least one meeting, and I am not afraid to say I fear this meeting in some way"
Questions, Comments anyone?
