[J. Alexander]

Resolution

Responding to Gnurl's request with a somewhat preplexed expression Geoffrey wil ask the steward to bring refreshments to include both ale and grog to the wardroom. He then asks "It if is acceptable, I would like to invite my second and chancellor to attend this planning session"

"The Wizard certainly has no objection, Captain," Gnurl says, helping himself to a mug of hearty, dark ale being offered by the steward.

"The Wizard certainly has no objection, Captain," Gnurl says, helping himself to a mug of hearty, dark ale being offered by the steward.

Mingo grins at the gnome slurping down ale this soon after breakfast and glances around the room before fasting her eyes on Radoon for his answer to Geoffrey's query. Anson's perplexed look betrays his surprise at Gnurl, but Anson bites his tongue and says nothing. Mig rests between Anson's feet.

Gnurl Whiskerling

"Ahh, Anson, Mingo, and perhaps others here are startled a bit at my drinking so early in the day? I forgot myself for a moment. You humans and halflings have more fragile constitutions than we Gnomes and Dwarves. You see, where I come from, this good, dark, nutty ale is a breakfast drink." Gnurl then lowers his voice so that he is almost talking under his breath, and says, "And if I've got to go back out and put my life on the line with you lot again so bloody soon, I damn sure can't do it sober!"

H'Roosh smiles slightly as Gnurl slurps his ale.

"I have no objections to anyone attending who might help or offer useful suggestions!"

Resolution

"Then with Master Radoon permission, may i suggest we start by hearing what Mr. Lockspur and Lt. Caleb have come up with in regards to the diversionary attack and we can go from there"..then glancing about the room he adds "Does anyone require writing implements and paper"

 

[Leif]

Gnurl Whiskerling

"Yes, please, Captain Geoffrey, I'd like to make a diagram of the operation to better get my brain around the situation," says Gnurl. Having drained his ale, Gnurl will now look for the serving tray and help himself to a stiff shot of grog. "Ahhhh, mother's milk, it is!"

 

[J. Alexander]

Resolution

Turning to the cabin boy Geoffrey says "Please bring us some paper, ink and pens from the scriptioruim. And make sure the galley sends in juice, coffie and some hot tea to go along with the edibles. I think this may take a bit"

The Plan

Lt. Caleb defers to Terry Lockspar who says, "Well, after considerable discussion we decided that a simple approach was best. We tried out various scenarios involving complex maneuvers and such, but they generally produced nothing better than a simple run in with grapnels to pull a couple of sections of wall over by the Radiant Sun and then a couple of broadsides by the 'Bedsheet. The 'Sun will hold her position and keep the walls down while firing on targets of opportunity while the 'Bedsheet will run a figure eight alternating broadsides with the ballista and swivel guns. With the training our gunners have had, we should be able to get off a volley as fast as we can turn and present a new broadside." He looks to Lt. Caleb, "While the Rumpled Bedsheet is dancing about and firing we'll be sitting still not too far off the wall. Our weapons should perform very well in a stationary position and we should be the ones that attract any undead opposition. That suits the 'Sun just fine. Those lost souls will find eternal rest in our hands."

Mingo's take on the plan

"With the fog, our missile weapons will be almost useless. We will have to rely on hand-to-hand combat. How will the ships avoid firing on those of us on the ground?" asks Mingo
