The Ambassador's Son Discussion Thread

Hmmm, does anyone object to having Jurex kill some more Gondorians? Maybe he can murder a few of the city guards. That would be nice... eh, Himaran?

Hmm, that's an idea, Earendil, what do you think of having a few men (If Jurex wants to lead them AFTER he visits Hessa) and break into some Gondorian-held arsenals. Doran's men might do well to being sending more supplies to The Bay by way of smaller messenger ships. And maybe as they were doing this they did have to fight some guards and suppose some guards did get killed. As long as it looks organized --and for some other purpose than killing-- I think that would do more to discourage the Gondorian civilians and scare them more than it might unite them. What say you to that?

Let me point out that the arbitrary murder of innocent Gondorians would be a bad idea because that is running the risk of uniting the Gondorians against the corsairs. It also might give the Gondorians the idea of killing corsairs, and as heartless as some of us are making the pirates out to be (:rolleyes [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img], I'm sure they'd mourn the losses of their own brethren.

Let's consider the corsairs' community for a minute. (Like the Wreckers of Scotland who survived on pillaging ship wrecks. Or cannibals whose ways are loathsome but second nature.) The corsairs are men, human. They feel love and compassion just as they feel hate and greed. For the sake of a fun and untraditional RPG, let's throw away the concept that the corsairs are solely killing machines or lumbering thieves and let's work to bring out their true human side. I wanted to try something different from the Good vs. Evil plot. So let's give it a go.


Thank you for checking in those of you whom I PMed. Brinniel I hope you feel better soon! Flus are no fun!
