MUST READ Slight change in plans (with everyone's consent that is)
great post Nuranar (i read it quickly since it's late). now we can wrap that up, and take it to bed. later, we'll get a shock. adeline will never really get to go snooping. ehem, see below!
how's this?
we're going to stuff all the politcalness of this blasted rpg ;-) and get right to the stuff that makes an rpg good. doran will kidnap devon, calnan, callath and adeline. (not telson.) He will bring them to his house and sit them down (forcefully) in his office where he will tell thim this:
"you are in my house. i have complete power. here is my proposition by teh standards of the fairness of the pirate code:" (if you want i can explain that) "I will give you a week to come up with as many captains, crews, ships etc. as you can. with you will be one of my men. at teh end of the week if you have come up with a minimum of 1 ship, 1 captain. and at least 30 crew members i will meet you on the ocean to decide the fate of umbar. my man will tell me if you have met these requirements. if not, i will let you be and umbar will be mine in all fairness and you will ahve nothing to say against me."
Devon and friends will tell Telson what happened. they have no choice but to fight for Umbar. they get avershire, a good ship and some crew members and prepare to face Doran's armada of 10, seemingly invincible ships. they will go from there. they will barely survive, obtaining 1 of doran's ships as their own and using it against the others. since avershire is a very crazy but skilled captain (thank god) he will save their butts. in the end, however, avershire's ship will sink and they will be stranded on an island where they will ahve to hide from Doran. 1 of Avershire's crew will have left on a jolly boat for gondor, telling the people what is going on and begging that they send the gondorian fleet. Avershire and crew pluse devon etc. have to depend on this. in the end, the fleet arrives, doran & crew is arrested. doran will be freed though leaving room for a sequel if it possesses us to do such a crazy thing.

if there are any doubts of the realisticalness of this idea i recommend that you stuff them too. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] we are going to embark on a perilous, unreal journey. if you are suckling the idea that the good guys always win clear and easy, be prepared for a shock. Avershire and Devon will get their buttocks whipped v nicely by "Mad" Doran. it will be fun you will enjoy this. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] lol i'm kidding of course no one's forcing you [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] but this is what we think will make the rpg more enjoyable. i don't like doing too much thinking for fun and 'pointy end of sword into enemy' sounds pretty nice right now? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
it's tres late and i completely just whipped this up. i will get on tomorrow and explain it further if need be. but for now we'll keep the allies thinking of the original plan and earendil will have doran get devon etc. soon at his will. well any comments/questions? good! then let's go.

-Cap'n Maikafanawen, Yo ho, a pirate's life for me...
PS I also wanted to appologize for my horendous grammar and bluntness. when i good idea hits, i need to type fast. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] okay, clarity will come with the dawn! 'night
