seems unnecessary to scout, now I am caught up with the reading.
I shall check on Grisheld to see how she is doing. I will make sure to bring
her the next meal. I want her bonds moved forward while she eats, then secured
behind the back again after her bathroom break.
When she is done I want her resecured with hands behind her back. I will watch
her bonds being put back in place. After she is set back down, I am taking
out some of my remaining rope and measuring a section from her neck to her
hands, adding about a foot, and cutting that section off. I say nothing other
than to the guards.
"You've done well watching her," I glance back at her, darkly. "If she moves,
other than to sleep, I want to know about it, and I want those bindings
checked. If she so much as twitches to break wind, check her and send for me."

"Sean, I suggest you and I and Holly and Carandolana make a sweep of the area
to make sure no one else is planning a visit if they have spotted our
friend's," I smile. "You and Holly take and sweep one direction, and
Carandolana and I will sweep the other. Say a short 10 minutes in a straight
line, then semi circle back to the Cove?"
"That is if you are up to it ladies..."

The Turtle will happily visit Dugal's Cove. The ship looks a bit worse for
wear close up. Sgt. Doran and 1st Mate Mason George will make it to shore first
in a long boat. They want to ensure the dock is ready. They will then signal
the ship to dock.

I suspect Elmore, with help from companions may end up having to build up a
local structure from near scratch. He looks for willing pupils to take on the
mantle of junior priests he can begin training in his down time.
As per book, when he creates a temple, he’s supposed to gain both troops and I
think some priestly help but so far from the mainland, that may be a question
Nicole. Then, he hasn’t met the elves Sean has met yet either or know which
gods they follow or how far from the Cove or RL they are. Now perhaps you
understand why Elmore is closer tied to civilization and it’s trappings than
Cara likes. She needs a circle and maybe a few wild land animal followers and
she’s set. Things aren’t so simple for him and he’s tried to explain it that
even a church of a chaotic deity needs at least SOME structure. I don’t think a
chaotic deity’s church would be as large and militaristic as the model in the
dm guide as it may be difficult keeping so many followers in the same place.
Could be, they are marshaled in times of need and the bulk of them disband to
attend small churches in the surrounding countryside when a major threat is
over.

OOC: I'm wondering how Elmore could function with any distance from the
political structure. He's so tied into that structure, and he needs to be where
his church can support his position.

DM Note: There is only one really potential way for Elmore to lower his
expenses... we all know that! I have a daughter that could be the model for
Bonaluria's expensive tastes... I feel your pain.

Oh, thought it might have been something Elmore could use to lower his
overall expenses when we get grapes or strawberries or some other fermentable
fruit, a vintner or something. A very good one might both supply the household
and eventually create an export or at least create a local staple.

While the DM waits for a response:
For those of you who owe monthly upkeeps:
Elmore needs to pony up 503gp for wages and 800gp for expenses
(Bonaluria and her court of ladies) It was a lean month for the ladies.
Hagar needs to check off 2338 gold for his company of gnomes and
Rarmuck.
If Theo is to be engaged, he will cost his new master 3 gold per month.
Holly will need to cough up 403 gold to pay for Fred and Ernst.
