Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

H'Roosh

Gnurl says, "Alas, I, too feel the loss of Rook very keenly. He had my back, too, you know. He even had my front and sides on several occasions! Let us use his share of the treasure to offer up a fitting memorial to him, and give the remainder of his share to his next of kin, if they can be located. Perhaps we might also consider giving some of the remainder of Rook's share to H'Roosh, since he stood ready to assist us if needed, although, thankfully, he was not needed. I think we are all a bit out-of-sorts due to this recent turn of events. Hopefully, cooler heads will now prevail. Come, Radoon, let me buy you a drink to calm your nerves and drown some sorrows! We'll sing songs about Rook!"

"I know not if I was needed, but I do know that I was used - it was I, after all, who struck the final blow on Ferriede. I'll not lay claim to a full share of the treasure, but if there is something in this pile that I'm interested I'd ask that I be considered for it. I, too, believe that a portion of Rook's share should go to his family, along with his own equipment. He served Captain Marin well and faithfully, not only on this mission but on others as well."

Very well, H'Roosh, for my part (which as you can see, is a very, very small part indeed!), I am willing to consider the item in question as part of the share that goes to you, but I can't and won't speak for everyone. I will say, however, that Radoon is, for the time being, our de facto captain in Marin's absence. Also, it will doubtless depend upon what the item is that you desire. By the way, good fellow, if one was to hold you up to one's ear, would one hear the ocean?

H'Roosh

"Fair return is all that I ask - Marin intends that I become a part of this quest to rescue Allois, and I intend to become a part of this crew.

(With a smile) Could you hold me up to your ear, you might indeed hear the ocean for she and I are part and parcel - inseperable."

 

[Leif]

Works for Me!

"I feel certain that fair return shall be accomplished! Perhaps it would work better if you lowered yourself to me wee earhole? hehe Joke! Pray don't engage in any acrobatics on my account!"

 

[Scotley]

Terry Lockspar comes into the room. He goes over to Rooks body and sighs heavily. He reaches for a hip flask, but thinks better of it and stays his hand. He confers briefly with Marienna, and while you cannot hear their soft words the sad shake of her head tells the story. Terry walks over to the group. "I hate to add more bad news, but Captain Morwyn went over the side to check the ship's hull and then he shouted up to say that he was going to have a quick look around. That was some time ago and there has been no sign off him since. I do not think he planned to be gone this long. I fear he may have come to some misfortune."

 

[Leif]

Gnurl Whiskerling

Well, Mr. Lockspar, what do you suggest that we do? We certainly will assist in the search for Captain Morwyn, at once!

OOC: Shoot! Gnurl didn't memorize his Detect JimBob spell today!

H'Roosh

H'Roosh waits quietly for Mr. Lockspar to finish relating his news, then stands patiently and observes the responses of the rest of the crew.

I wonder which they'll choose - the Captain or their chartered mission. Were I the Captain I'd ask them to stay the course. In a crew this small and tight, the loss of the Captain is not more important than the loss of Rook or any other crew, and shouldn't stop our mission.

 

[Leif]

OOC: Gnurl will go and stand in the shade of H'Roosh (no beach blanket and lawn chair this time) until we're ready to get on with it and do some work.

Radoon

Radoon will approach Terry and M. In a hushed tone, "I feel we should not leave our Capt behind but I know our mission is pressing as well. We all agreed to have Rook and Finn do some recon but with the change of status here I think another plan is in order."

To Annora, "do you see anything, speaking of the loot, of particular interest? If so help yourself with my apologies for provoking Gold tooth to a fight in your establishment." Once ample time for her reply..."I am sorry to be so short, Annora, but we do have some regrouping to do, would you mind if Finn were to escort you back?" Before they leave, Radoon will tell Finn, "Feel free to do what is necessary for any information that might help us, if she asks for more give her my share...we can't afford to lose anymore crew. Please return as quickly as possible for we need your input on our next step as well."

Once Finn and Annora are gone, Radoon will welcome H'Roosh and Gnurl to "The Sheet" "I'm sorry the Capt is not able to greet you personally, I am sure he will turn up soon, he is the most resourceful man I know. I apologize for my curtness before. As is customary you came to our aid in a battle that was not yours so rest assured you shall receive an equal portion of the gain. Seeing your remarkable skills I would have asked each of you to aid us in our endeavor but it seems Marin has beat me to that. Are you both filed in on what we need to accomplish?"

Radoon will relay all the information that Marin probably does not know has happened since we left. "and that is where we are at, since we have the new officers all here except for Finn who will be returning shortly, let's talk about where we might go from here."

H'Roosh

"As we know from my Gnew friend Gnurl, many of these items are magical in nature, and I would suggest we attempt to discover what they do - some or all of them may aid us in our quest."
