"Why of course Master Radoon, you are more than welcome aboard as is anyone else who wishes...I will have quarters set aside for you and anyone else once we arrive back at the ships"

[sblock=Gnurl]What made you think I was forking over money? Not that I'm not thinking of it, but there was nothing in my post to indicate such.[/sblock]

Gnurl doesn't want there to be any strife in the party. Therefore, he surrenders his position as Captain of the Crest Dancer to H'Roosh, clears out all of his belongings from the ship, and looks for a more permanent billet on this island.
"Sayonara, Suckers! You jerks deserve each other!"
[sblock=Scotley]Sorry, Scotty, it couldn't be helped. If you'll have me, I'll be more than happy to play in your next campaign.[/sblock]

"A shame we couldn't come to an understanding . . . if you should change your mind perhaps something could be worked out."
He turns to those of the party remaining.
"I have some ideas about uses for the CrestDancer, and directions for our company to take in the future. I would say that such things should wait for the conclusion of our business with the Lich, but perhaps we could start laying the groundwork now. We'll certainly have some time as we travel to discuss it, and some time now as we provision and make ready to set sail.
My proposal is this. The CrestDancer seems ideally suited for use as a fast courier, a transport for VIPs, or a specialty cargo trader. Possibly a combination of the three. We'll need a home port. Radoon is poised to settle down, I think, and this is an ideal location (if we can find property here) given the proximity to Marin and Sons - folks we know are friendly to us. What if we enter into a formal partnership? Though he has his own resources and may determine that previous commitments create a conflict of interest, Geoffrey was a part of our party when we took the CrestDancer and in fairness is entitled to a share. And though Finn declined initially, I'd renew the offer of part ownership for him as well. Though he's voluntarily surrendered his claim, I also think it would set an honorable tone for our company to offer to pay Gnurl his share of the value of the 'Dancer as soon as we have the capitol to do so, and we should eventually see if Mingo and Anson had family that need monetary help as well.
Radoon will be situated to act as our contract broker and to take care of matters regarding our base of operations. Any expenses for ship, base of operations, etc. would be paid first from monies generated by operations, of course. I'd recommend we take salaries and put the rest of our profits into an account for emergencies, at least until we get a comfortable sum put away. My thoughts are actually running to some sort of arrangement wherein we buy a small island and establish a town there as a base, and provide for retirement to that base for anyone with enough time in service to us who wishes to continue in a less active role.
But again, all of this is for the future . . . we've a lich to send to Hell first."

Taken somewhat aback by Gnurl's comments and speech Geoffrey will only say "It has been a pleasure Master Gnurl may the wind always be at your back and the Light show you a true course"
When H'roosh continues his speech Geoffrey will listen intently and the say "Please do not take this wrong Master H'Roosh but I am indifferent to this matter..please do what you think is best and I will voice support for the decision....but you may well be onto something..there is always a need for fast ships that can respond to crises and opportunites...."

Gnurl halts mid-stride in his way off the ship, drops his suitcases where he stands, and says, "Wait a minute! Hold everything. H'Roosh, I think I'd like to take you up on your offer of working something out. Forgive me, Gentlemen, I think that I must have been suffering from an ague or some sort of brain tumor for the past few days. In answer to Radoon's question, even I'm not quite sure what the "h" is going on here, but, apparently, whatever it was, I started it. I hope that you can all find it in your hearts to forgive my indiscretion and welcome me back into the bosom of your friendship."
OOC: Just a little free drama to keep everybody on the edges of their seats.

"No worries, my friend, I was very confused as to why you wanted to leave us, your friends - at least I count you among mine, but am very pleased you have decided to stay. I also like H'Roosh's idea. I would love to be able to take care of the business side of things, this would allow me to plant my feet firmly in one sopt, make a life with M. and still have ties with you all and the sea. Seems like a win/wind situation for me."
"On another note, I do not seem to have the funds to purchase any healing potions, would anyone be able to loan me 600 GP for 2 potions?"
OCC - I do not seem to have taken good care of keeping up with Radoon's money and really do not how much I have after the new toys. Would anyone be ble to loan me some Gold. I am good for repayment with interest.
