Island Empire Part 1, to Mermaid's Rest

[Scotley]

Dry Docks of Cambre

Radoon soon arrives at the entrance to the dry dock where the 'Rumpled Bedsheet' is being made ready. The way is blocked by a couple of dwarven guards with unusually heavy armor. Radoon can't imagine being encased in all that heavy plate in the heat of the Cambrean afternoon. They have a canvas shade that shields them from the sun, but still it must be unbearable. They hold Glaives at port arms and appear ready to use them. As Radoon approaches the Dwarves they snap off a crisp salute, and the one on the right says "Welcome aboard First Officer Radoon." and with considerable clanking and rattling step aside for you. A young man waits at the end of the gang way and blows a small whistle as you approach, more ceremony than you expected, but Captain Marin always did like a bit of show.

Streets of Cambre

Outside the tavern of the Bountiful Gobblet Morwyn rouses Jack Swift with the help of Thomas Rivers. The three exchange information and a picture emerges. Young Jack was waiting outside the White Wake just people watching when a woman in a very revealing outfit came by. He did whistle at her in appreciation. "She smiled at first and then suddenly her face darkened and she shouted that I was an 'impertinent dog of a sailor' and that big guy with the tattoos", he points to the still unconscious man "walked up and started giving me what for. He said I was very rude and should be taught a lesson. He threatened to do all sorts of nasty things to me and I really thought he was going to lay into me. When I saw a chance to duck into traffic I slipped in front of a cart and started running, using the traffic as a shield. The big guy chased me for a bit, but I was too quick and the traffic to heavy. Once they had gone I made my way back to Thom and soon you came out. That's really all that happened sir. I am quiet sorry for the trouble I caused." He looks penitent.

OOC: Still not doing so well, am I?

Perhaps you should just reroll until you get a good number like certain other party members who haven't realized that their DM checks invisable castle to see who has been naughty.

Let's all play nice gentlemen.

OCC: Who is the Jack Swift and how did he come to joing the party?

OOC: Jack Swift is the younger of two sailors you first noticed outside the Hotel of the White Wake as you went in. As you came out they picked up their gear and began walking with Morwyn and talking to him. You presume they work for him and even now you can see Morwyn, Jack and Thomas out the window talking and gesturing at the large man you assume is the 'lady's' husband, Bucky.

Tavern of the Bountiful Gobblet

The lady takes another drink, "hmmm, 25 gold pieces now and you and your young friend will send me a gift. You'll forgive me if I'm dubious, but many a sailor has made a promise that is forgotten as soon as the port fades on the aft horizon." She waves the wand about a bit. "I think it better that I turn the lad into a snake and let him crawl on his belly until I feel he has paid his debt and you make it 50 gold pieces."

OOC: For Morwyn only [sblock]I got your email, be aware that at this point Morwyn is unaware of the negotiations going on inside the tavern or even that the 'lady' is present.[/sblock]

"Agreed then Madam, 50 gold pieces it is". Michael offer his hand to seal the deal.

"I believe my offer was 50 gold pieces and that your friend would spend time as a snake," she waggles her wand at you. "But, I am feeling generous, if you will all leave this island I'll settle for the 50." She extends a hand.

Michael Storm (warlock)

"Fifty it is then madame, and I appreciate your kindness towards young master swift. We shall sail in the morning and not return for a few weeks at least." Michael will then count out 50 gold pieces which is all he usually carries. Showing the empty purse to the Madame, he will wink and say, "See Madame, you leave me no money" but i do find that a common occurece when I am around such staggering beauty" Before I go, may i not have your name Madame and is this the best place to reach you in order to send your gifts?

The Sorceress quickly makes the money disappear. "My name is Neva Grandessa Veroneek DeViree and you may send to me at Castle DeViree at Codella on Pellona, Cambre. Now be off with you before I decide this city needs a couple more rats in its sewers." With a gulp she finishes the drink.
