All praise Fordim, the swear-maker!
Thanks, that's more than enough to last my lifetime.
Anyway, Aman, I'm deleting my last post. That way, Ferethor's escape need not be ship-wide event, and then the problem is solved. +trots off to delete the latest post+
EDIT: Unfortunately, Fordim has written after me - it wouldn't fit the storyline if I delete it, would it?
PS to Fordim: If burning the ship is foolish, what would you suggest? (I've read too much 'Story of the Three Empires' (a history epic of China's early days), and I can't get the 'fire' part out of my mind. It worked for Jojo and Kong-Myung, didn't it? Dong-Tak had drawn water from the great river Hwang-Ha to block the fire, but anyway. )
