A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[Scotley]

Giraldii

The pirate also leans back and puffs contentedly. "Ah a fine cigar indeed. You should have no trouble finding a buyer for these. I shall call upon you tomorrow at say three hours past noon?"

OOC: Yes teamwork could make a difference. I wish you and I could get into a good game and put that premiss to the test. Maybe we'll have the DM reaching for doughnuts and buttermilk?

Dinner with Giraldii

"Then as we have concluded our business, I must beg your pardon and end this lovely evening. I do so look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Perhaps you may have stubled acorss a few more exceptional deals by then." Michael will then stand up and escourt Giraldii off the ship. Returning to his cabin he will bath and clean his clothes and get ready for the Masque.


OCC: Giving what your rolling i think there is a good chance your gonna wax one of them. And this may sound terrible but that may not be a bad thing. We tend to think of our characters as invulnerable and build superones etc that we think can take care of themselves and act without support. I did this one time in a campaing setting of your and boom lost a very dear character to a troll becaause of stupidity. I cant recall his name but he was the one with the firearms and who was in love with an elven girl ....actually i should blame Paul lol as he could not hit but it was stupidty for sure.

For the life of me I can not figure out why these guys , dont really know aoubt Keith yet, almost always refuse to build a base of support etc before they go off. The most common answer i hear is , Were loners, I leave no ties, etc..but in doing so they kill their access to much needed information and more importantly they deny the dm a chance to really save their ass thru support intervenation when things truly go bad such a a string of incrediable rolls on invisible castle. Oh well, in a way miss being there but in a way very glad i am out once and for all....

What ever happend to karl?

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Karl lost his computer access. He returned briefly and things went out again.

OOC: I do remember the infamous troll encounter with your character and Paul's. That has been some years ago. It is interesting that you mention loners. If you read very much on the boards, many DM's include in their guidelines for building a character 'no loners'. It really isn't functional.

Puttin' on the Ritz

Michael gets cleaned up and dressed and in his admittedly biased opinion he look quite good. Nac'Losin and her acolyte are to be commended. You finish dressing and make your way topside just at sunset. Say what you will about the 'Rest, but they do have glorious sunsets. Grond is waiting by the gangway trying to look casual, but the collection of weapons he's bearing sort of belies his motives. "So what is the plan?" he asks.

After Dinner

Motioning Grond to his cabin, MIchael will realy his dinner conversation with Giralddi. "We do have a few hours to spare, so lets have a cigar and think some things thru"

Continuing Micael will say "Giraldii is not to be trusted, he is trying to hard to get us to use his private dock, and that may be an advantage to us later on should we choose to use it. For now i think he will let us be in peace that is until he gets his money. I look for him to possible hit us tonight thinking to get what cash we have on hand or at sea once we leave."

"As for this evening, i think we shall jsut stroll around "The Rest" being very carfull until we arrive at the party. I dont think many people will dare attack masque attendees but if they do then perhaps we can pick up some usefull information...."

"Once at the Mask, we shall have to play it by ear and see what developes"

 

[Scotley]

"Yes, that pirate is an oily fellow and not to be trusted." He puffs the fine cigar clearly trying to master the art of smoking such a fine stoogie. "So who do you want to escort you to this Masque and will we be going inside." You sense this is the question that has been weighing on his mind this evening. He clearly wishes to be in two places at once--watching the ship and you.

 

[J. Alexander]

To the Mask

"That question has been weighing on my mind and i can not come up with a satisfactory answer. My deisre and insticnt is to take you with me and leave the rest to secure the ship. That however exposes us to losing everything we have gained to date plus a large portion of our former earnings should they prove false or be overwhelmed. The other obivious choice would be to leave you in charge and take Guiessippe, but that does not help me out in a fight and should something bad happen cause us to lose him."

"Having said that my overall intention is to enter the mask and see what i can develope. This I will most likely have to do alone as I dont think anyone can past muster and giving that option, I think it best if i go alone stayin in contact with you via our new found device and staying invisible as much as possible"

 

[Scotley]

Discussions with Grond

Grond sighs, "I feared that would be your course. I must tell you that I worry about you wandering about alone. I would be by your side if posible. We can always find more ships and cargo. Two weeks ago it was just we three in a rowboat."

 

[J. Alexander]

The Masque

"Three alone and now were thirty something soone to be more when Nicholas finds us with his recruites. I do hope he was able to find 10 or so instead of the minimume of five. We have grown and propsered indeed with the gods blessings. I say we keep trusting the gods and you accompany me to the Masque."

 

[Scotley]

Puttin' on the Ritz

He looks visibly releaved by your choice. "Excellent. I'd guess it is about time we go then. I'm sure Chandar, Grumbar and the others will be able to handle things here. Perhaps we should see about getting some signal flares to call us back to the ship in future emergencies?"
