Wow! We are really far along! This is very exciting.

The masked ball—masquerade—is a brilliant idea, and it wouldn’t be the same party dedicated to Finduilas—obviously. You guys are so clever.

I have a question about the character cast for Group C...Who is “her mother”. I thought that ECL was the one who was trying to marry Denethor. I don’t think ECL should be the family. In my opinion, I think that ECL should have two other people behind her—ladies in waiting—and then her sister. Is there a certain reason you wanted her mother there or—I’m just wondering.

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I am interested though in playing ECL--the head Corsairess. I think that it would be interesting if she was evil--but not enitrely aware of it. Has anyone read Elfsong by Elaine Cunningham? I'd like her to be sort of like Garnet/Iriador. She believes that the corsairs have been robbed of what is rightfully theirs and simply wants it back. However, ECL goes about this completely the wrong way by manipulating people and trying to overthrow Finduilas and claim Minas Tirith for herself, all the while thinking she's just being noble. About 1/3 to 2/3 of the way through however she just becomes greedy and starts being a tad more careless and vengeful, enabling Groups A and B to catch on to her and her posse.

Another question, by the way, what does Group C do that makes Groups A & B start to suspect them?

In order for ECL to attain her position as the head corsairess she would have to be fair and honey-tongued as well as a developed spy. ECL would most probably have been trained in the arts of observation, stealth, and deception in order for her to be the one sent for this job. Also this would make it sensible for her sister (double agent) to have had the same training and is therefore almost as equally advanced--just younger and perhaps less fair--though pure of heart.

I'll also have access to a computer for the entire summer.
