Island Empire Part 1, to Mermaid's Rest

MIcahel Storm (warlock)

When MIchael finishes with the letter, he will continure on to the ship and his errand aboard her.

Axiopolis

Morwyn has returned to the ship with some difficulty oweing to the weight of silver he carried and is making ready to get back under way when Michael Storm and company return about 30 minutes later to work on the ship's papers. Morwyn is pleasantly surprised to see that no one has jumped ship and that all is in order.

For Rook only [sblock]Rook from his vantage point some 50 yards behind you observe a young man approach Marienna and Radoon from a dockside tavern. You cannot hear their conversation, but after initial greetings the young man seems to be suggesting that they enter the tavern.[/sblock]

Rook

I'll casually stroll by the three of them, examining various vendors wares, etc. I'll make a point to be noticeable by Radoon and Marienna, and leave it up to them whether or not they invite me into the group or leave me to observe.

This guy looks friendly enough, but I don't know him. There's no way for me to get into the tavern without the lovebirds noticing, so I'll let them know I'm here. If they want to leave me to follow inside without associating with them, that's fine, or they can bring me into the conversation.

For DM, Rook, and Radoon

[sblock] I said in my first post that the tavern was outdoors, open air. I pictured Finn sitting at an outdoor table, enjoying the sea breeze and a tankard of cold ale. Otherwise, how could he have seen Radoon and Marienna? You would not have to go inside.

OOC: Thank you, SirCaith, for pointing that out to me. I'd missed the reference. Still not much chance I'll not be noticed by Radoon/Marienna, so most of my post is still correct. It's a good bet one or the other of them had already noticed me skulking about and were trying to save my dignity by not saying anything -- skulking is what I'm supposed to be good at (and I actually am) but the dice are not being good to me thus far and I rolled a natural one for one or the other of my rolls.

Radoon - Mariner/Fighter/Master Thrower

Finn, I would love to join but I really must get this load back to the ship first and let our captain know where I'll be, or at lest find out if we have time as I think he was in a hurry to pull anchor. You are more than welcome to join if you like.

For uppity new players who bait the DM at their peril only [sblock]Thanks, I had a busy week and didn't have much time to devote to my posts. Hell, I didn't even spell Erland right once. I should have a better week and be able to focus better and get the action going again.[/sblock]

Finn nods his head. "I can understand that, Radoon. I guess leaving this much silver standing around while drinking might not be the most responsible thing you could do. And I guess this would be a good time for me to talk with your captain. Just let me pay for my ale, wouldn't want to come back here and find Selene had locked me out of my room, over a few coppers."

Finn goes back to his table, takes one last deep pull on his tankard of ale, and leaves a silver from his belt pouch on the table. He turns and comes back, his eyes rapidly sweeping the market {(spot check)1d20+9, getting [19,9] = (28)}. "Let me take one of those handles, Radoon."

As they bend to lift the barrow, Finn whispers into Radoon's ear, "Sir, I know you are being careful with this cargo, so I think you should know there's a dark skinned gentleman over there by the cooper's who seems to have a bit of interest in you and Marienna."

Axiopolis near the open air tavern

Rook observes the stranger helping Radoon with the wheelbarrow as they start toward the dock where the 'Rumpled Bedsheet' awaits. Marienna is beside them a hand resting on the hilt of her cutlass.

Morwyn and Michael are aboard the ship.

Radoon - Mariner/Fighter/Master Thrower

"Yes, that is Rook, he is a fine fellow and part of our crew." This reminds Radoon to give Rook and approving glance of the new fellow helping with the load of silver.

OCC - Scott, I never asked but I assume this is your attempt to involve another player but maybe you should tell me what I know about Finn. Also I have a friend that would like to join us. His name is Steve and I used to shadow run and D&D with him when I was in San Antonio. Would it be OK if we involved him? Can I give him your e-mail for character approval. Mike, you remember Steve right, you actually played with us when you came to visit. When I went to Montery Bay to pick up stingrays, I found he was working there, had no idea and was telling him about this cool on-line game that we do and since he is married with kids now, he does not have time to do much but was jazzed about this opportunity.
