Island Empire, Part III, The Lich's Curse

OOC: Thanks! And did you notice? It's Selvish U.! Actually, I have another pic at home that I'm thinking about putting up in place of this one, but then again, this is a nice change, too, so I may keep it for awhile.

"Mmmm, Gooood tea, Cap'n Swabby!!"

[OOOOPS, accidentally posted this here! It should be in OOC thread. Sorry.]

OOC: Today I also learned the difference between an Avatar and a Profile Pic! Before, I thought they were two names for the same thing, but NOOOOO!!

"I am prepared, and I hope as well that we do not go to meet our end. This servant should go unmolested as Captain Geoffrey has suggested - we are indeed under a flag of truce. Additionally, I believe that our use of the orc as collateral for the Captain's missing crew would mean little to our 'host.' We'll need the use of a dinghy if we don't wish to travel with the orc."

Radoon

Radoon will disappear below to clean up and change into something a bit less fragrant and will return within 15 minutes or so to accompany the rest of the away party.

OOC: So as I understand it the plan is to get dressed up and follow the orc to the dinner party? Will you go ashore in his boat or one of your own. I'm sure the Radiant Sun has a longboat suitable for making a half mile journey...

OOC - I think that is the plan but Geoffrey will need to chime in here to verify. Now are all 3 boats going to proceed to the 1/2 mile from the destination? Or will we leave the others here? Personally I don't like the idea of leaving the boats in the middle of the sea for pirates.

Captain Swabby is already under orders to move the CrestDancer along with the Retribution to our "destination." Gnurl will stay aboard the CrestDancer on the way there.

Returning from the family area below deck Geoffrey appears to have armend himself and put on his formal armour. With the group assembled Geoffrey will order the Sun into position 1/2 mile from the designated landing area/ "We can either take my barge or we can take several longboats..does anyone have a preference?

"Cap'n Swabby! I presume that we have a ship's boat aboard to use for going ashore? I'll be needing it, please." When Gnurl sees the group disembark from the Radiant Sun (oops, did I accidentally call it the Retribution yesterday? Eeek!) he will also cast off in the CrestDancer's boat to join them ashore.

Near sunset lookouts report a sighting of land. An island that cannot be found on the charts of either ship is just to the north. The island is not large perhaps a three quarters of a mile wide and two and a half miles long. At one end stands an impressive fortified manor house. The imposing structure is dark and only a couple of people can be seen about. There is a slightly sheltered lagoon in front of the house with a dock at which a couple of small boats are tied up. The cleared area around the house is fairly small with a carefully tended garden. The rest of the island appears wild and overgrown. The trees are massive. A wall seperates the bulk of the island from the manor.

OOC: Is everyone going ashore? Casting any spells or taking special precautions or equipment?
