Island Empire - A Warlock Alone Part2

Nac'Losin considers carefully the request as she sips her tea. "I could certainly go though and ritually clean and ward the ship. It would need to be redone periodically to maintain effectiveness. As for the other, I don't believe you understand what you are asking. It is certainly within my power and I would be willing, but it requires much. The area consecrated would in effect be a holy place, a temple if you will to my deity. Not a place for ribald sailor's jokes and course language. Everyone who entered the space would need to bow their head in supplication and behave as is at temple on a holy day while they were there. Most of the crew do not share faith in the deity I serve. Can you ask this of them and expect them to carry it out? I warn you that I will toss overboard anyone who blasphemes or is disrespectful in my temple. For that space would be my temple and I its priestess."

"I have given it a lot of thought..but perhaps it does need to be a more secluded space.....i ask you to think about it and see if there is someplace suitable that can be used...perhaps one of the new cargo spaces...as to the crew...i do not ask them to change but it is a foolish person that will not seek sanctuary against evil...it will be up to them when the time comes to make their own decision..i will not force anyone to choose... and in time when the new ship is built I wish the Retribution to be statoned permaently on Terger where it can be used to the benefit of all the smaller islands and the peoples there...
 

"How about this then, I shall start the clensing rituals and as I roam the ship I will consider potential locations for consecration."
 

"That will work well...I thank you" Michael says...

He will then call for the sorceress and ask her identical the same thing but from an arcane prespective..he will ask her to make the quarterdeck the last redoubt from an arcane presepective...
 



OOC: Hey, looks like a good concept. I see you've already attracted some interesting characters. I'll be curious to see how it goes.

After the Socrecrss leaves....Micahel will ask that Chandar and Grond join him.

He will then ask that they put their heads together and come up with a series of oddly non patterend watches etc and other items to increase the physical security of the ship.
 

Both men work together and settle upon using the random chance of a coin toss or roll of the dice to determine watch lengths. For enhancing physical security they suggest some extra drills with the heavy weapons and that the crews practice beat to quarters, again at some irregular intervals. They also suggest a bounty for anyone that sights something unusual.

"See to it then" Michael say then sets himself down to think for a few hours...rousing himself at lunchtime he finally goes to the quarterdeck where he asks that a chair and table and three chairs be set up...he then asks one of the new young men to bring him his cigar box and asks for luncheon to be served to him on the quarterdeck. Michael will make it a point to steadily exam the crew and all that he sees on the quartedeck.
