So, we're already trend setting with a Sea-Dwarf Prince, no we can introduce
the divine Right of Kings to the plane.
Joking aside, much as Sean has enjoyed the company of Count Lazziar and the
Lady Namys, about the only book he is willing to give to the elves is Low-Down
Dirty High Elves, if for no other reason than to keep himself from quoting from
it. If the Lady wishes to send scholars to study our library, that would be
permitted, provided we could send scholars to study Elven texts, or at least
have access to them. Sean recommends the elves build a compound in the Cove
for their scholars, who would be afforded access to study the materials.
Knowledge is power, and while Sean is willing to share it, he is unwilling to
give it away.
That said, it is not his decision to make.
And, all that aside, Sean feels strongly that if we are going to gift anyone
these books, the giftee should be Kendrick.
Sean is interested in "Corrupting the Forest", "Corrupting a Paladin", and
"Becoming an Animal". Oh, and the Key to Magic.
We now seem to have an interesting collection of necromancy books as well as
devil and demonology texts

Capt. Peter can bring the materials from either Raychester or Stoddard. Cheaper
from Stoddard, but it would obviously take longer. He could bring supplies and

Any messages for Haglan, who, I suppose, is sort of your liege lord? Uncertain

No information to Haglan regarding Ezanus? Very good. For informational
purposes, Sean will be discussing the wyrm with Glanna and Wurcon. And likely
others of her entourage. She knows treants, and it occurs to me on of them
might be useful with Ezanus's needlemen.
Sean will be glad to have Hagar along when we give Lazziar the Grand Tour. He
has been subtly letting it be known just how swiftly we defeated the lich.
Well, subtle for Sean anyway. Stuff like "yeah, we killed a storm giant, a
three headed devil and a lich in less than ten minutes combined." Because,
well, we did.
Definitely a drydock. For now, smaller boat can get pulled up on the shingle
and worked on after high tide. Routine maintenance link redoing the caulking,m
etc. And with Holly's alehouse, biergarten and potential pleasure palace,
crews won't mind hanging out in the Cove while their vessels get made more
seaworthy.
At which point we might need a constabulary. Because with sailors at liberty
comes lawlessness.

I will go escort on the re look through of the latest temple we neutralized for
the good of the cove and the surrounding lands n people/err living creatures.
I leave any decisions after we talk here to my trusted OG associates about the
cove and any surrounding lands we absorb into the collective.
I still wish to know at minimal who set me up. If that can rumor can be
abolished or made into a tale of greatness to he;p the cove be better good.
I give permission for /gnomes and Dwarves to go back, I hope they send work for
more of their friends and associates to come to the cove.
Cvizar should stay here and not go. best for him, though make sure we get the
supplies to set up a better alcohol making still for him.
Please just tell me (DM) what funds are left of Haghars share after he pays his
debts form this last adventure (Sorry the Tax man came and burned up my
calculators. ) I shall start to set aside a nest egg for this place.
We do need more settlers and adventures that pay us a tilth to operate out from
the cove so spread word of some of the adventures based from our place (Make it
interesting) no work of our dragon issues for now other then maybe to those
that need to know of our progress. Tell the authorities operating above me of
our progress in a little more detail but yes leave out the high volume of
wealth and magic i can;t afford to be taxed any more.
We should think about another pier and or dry dock.
Yes, I thought we were going to try to plant a spokes person for the cove and
our OG's in AE to help promote and commune/coordinate activities.
The hermit, I will talk to him about his progress with the gods, our cleansing
habbits and see per my construtcion crew when they can start to work on the
coves work again, even if slowly. Also feel out if any peeps are starting to
pay attention to the hermit aka worship or be freind,
Magic can go as you all wish, One day I'll hope for a better spear, armor,
shield, mini catapult or other magic suitable for me. But always, if my
friends prosper and grow stronger, I also grow stronger and prosper too. we
are a family all of us.
Anything I miss please let me know so I can help advised.

the death of Hackett and all the crew. He offers his condolences, and adds
that the force behind the attack, a lich named Myndur Luzrid, was dispatched by
the party, as was the storm giant. He asks him if he has the connections that
Hackett had, and if he would like to work with us. Assuming Lord hagar

Sean tells Lazziar, "There was some debate about whether he were a mummy or
a lich. He spoke and cast lightning bolts, though we believe that was from his
staff. No matter, he lasted about as long as his devil tutor Bunny. We all
had the impression that his soul was wrenched out of him when we defeated him,
which also lends support to the lich theory. He had a large library, but it
pretty much turned to dust. If we can arrange passage on this yet unnamed ship,
it will give us some time and I can take you on a tour of what is left of his
tomb. Perhaps you will have insight into some things that we missed. I am
sure we would all be particularly interested in this ability to increase spells
memorized, so long as it doesn't require selling your soul to Bunny." Sean
makes a note to mention to Xander and the rest that the magic power of that
tapestry might be nearly infinitely better than a Gate.... truly, knowledge is
power. Xander could have a school of wizardry whose main purpose is to study
in the room with the tapestry. Provided there are no correspondingly steep
costs.
As a quick scan of the other emails indicates that Peter is being spoken
to, all that remains is his ship name.

Lazziar is surprised to learn of Myrnud's tomb being so close. He will
admit he thought that mage was simiply an ancient legend. He would like a tour
of the tombs if possible. He supposedly had a large library and a way to
increase the number of spells he could learn in a day which made him
particularly powerful. Some claim he became a lich.
Captain Peter will turn over his cargoe to Holly for 1500 gold that he is
owed. There are 96 barrells of lagar, and 48 of stout for the gnomes and
dwarves. Also 6 pipes of wine for Pomeroy and Nancy and a few more refined
gnomes. The building materials Holly needs to complete the warehouse and
tavern. Grundeak hasn't made any proclamations for a while. His new home is
starting to emerge from the hillface, but there has been no work on the tunnel
during this time, the dwarves are focusing on getting Grundeak undercover.
Who is chating with Captain Peter about a trip to Arrell?
Actions.

Secondly, yes, Sean is ignoring Grundeak. He's

to consider telling him that we eliminated Myndur and Bunny. See if that
affects him in any way.
Thirdly, from a resources perspective, Sean is
pleased that the doors are iron. Sicarius can do more with iron.
Fourthly, I forgot that Lazziar was in town.
In my head he returned. I think we should tell him about Myndur and the tomb,
and the Storm Giant, and Bunny, but will await input from the rest of the group.
Fifthly, when we divide the loot, one third
goes to Hagar for the Cove expenses, one third goes to Elmore to purchase that
crown for sacrifice to Artor, and one third goes to Tina and Sean, to be spent
so fast his head spins. Meaning we need to kill Ezanus or go broke.
