Hey, Child, git your hands off those barrels! It's not so comfortable in here.

I am up late packing. I leave tomorrow right after school. My class is going to a place called "Rivendell Ranch" for a kind of retreat. I swear that's the name of it. I wonder how they got a name like that?

Anyways I was waiting for the saves to fill in before I posted. Only now I won't be home till Sunday late. I'm going to do a save in Friday morning but won't fill it in till very late Sunday. Hope this is alright, Pio, under the circumstances.

I'll make sure to put up a little outline saying what I'm going to do so you will all know.....

Slipping into the coimputer room during lunchand typing quickly...

I got my save up. I will be busy climbing the mast so someone else needs to start the fight.

Luindal -- Once all the barrels are on board, could you get suspicious and start prying away the lid on one container? Then, before you can pry it open all the way, one or more of the Lossoth allies who brought the barrels on board should charage Luindal and yell out a warning to the other Corsairs to push their way to the outside, and the battle begins.

Actually, I need you guys to give me cover for what I'm doing up there in the mast. Everyone can post their part in the fight.

End result will be a quick tussle with only minor injuries. The Corsairs and allies will be chased off the ship, and I'll manage to get off on my own and will be smiling pretty.....

See you after I get back.

I've reserved myself a save, as I think it's the right spot in the narrative of the story, but I will wait until Regin has posted for Marreth before I fill it in, so I don't mess up his posting! So if it's longer than 24 hours, please consider this as my 'excuse' - it beats my long ago favourite homework excuse of 'the dog ate it' anyway. Anyhow, it will just be some narrative about barrels and corsairs, if you folks need to know! Cheers.

Regin, Cami

Annû and his Lossoth helpers have tipped the barrels over, rolled them across the deck, and put them in groups - sorted out by little marks they assume denote the contents.

The Corsair captain's barrel was unmarked - they rolled it to a place by itself.

Hope this is OK. Will edit as needed.

Arry,

This looks fine.

I have filled in my save but hopped it forward at the end of the line. Could everyone please fill in your saves.....Luindal go ahead with the discovery of the Corsairs. I will get "boring" with my tool and everyone else can soon begin fighting!

At last! Filled in my save! I managed to write it in between having a root canal, a meeting and sorting out a bunch of video conferences and got it posted in a last-minute dash, at the same time as extracting my CD from the computer, shutting down my scanner and hiding my desk keys - all in the knowledge that I had to run because half the lifts were out of order!

Anyways, Regin - can Tarn do a bit of fighting or does he have to scram with the boats? If he's not wanted for fighting, i.e. if it doesn't 'fit', then I could have him ready to help rescue the Corsairs?

[Regin Hardhammer]

Lalwende,

Many thanks for that post. Looking good!

Fighting is fine if that is what you'd like. Presumably you would come on board after the barrels are all set out on the deck to shake hands on the deal. You'd be there when Luindal discovers a Corsair in one of them. Child - you can even mention that in Luindal's next post.

Hope Tarn and Nilak remembered to carry a concealed sword or another weapon.
