Númenórean Blood Runs Black Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

piosenniel · 10-07-2005, 02:23 PM

Fordim's new persona:

The slave driver of the Corsair Xebec leered down at his galley slaves, coiled whip in hand, and bellowed, "I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you'll be getting double rations tonight!" The murmuring of the surprised slaves as they struggled with their oars was interrupted by the slave driver. "The bad news is that this afternoon Sangalazin’s Easterling wants to learn to water-ski."

Off topic . . . will not happen again . . .

'Debauched fop', eh? Lol, why is it that that phrase makes me smile? Something to do with Dorian Gray I think...it's how Sangalazin strikes me in a way, weirdly mixed with Fagin from Oliver Twist. Do not meddle in the affairs of Aman, for her mind is peculiar, and she will have you chained to an oar for the next year.

Hee hee.

One thing's for sure, Aman's going to have to watch her back

Oh, poor Rakin. He's not all bad...but just bear in mind who has the power on the ship, Master Hedgethistle, and that deception is a life-honed skill of Monsieur le Corsair...

EDIT: Sorry, just a query so I know what sort of place I should maybe be positioning my first post: what is the order of the Lords of Umbars' posts? Sangalazin, then Azaryan? Or t'other way around with an intervening space of time between them? Just...wondering...

I'm thinking along the lines that would give Ferethor reason to hate everyone he knows, and most that he does not know. Tell me if this storyline does not fit with your character or anything.

Ferethor hates Hedge's character for a captain's pet, he hates Aman's character because Ferethor tried to kill him once (a scar at the wrist to remind him), and eventually got only his lieutenant beaten to death and him alive (he feels REALLY bad about this, as he was the one who thought it up and talked Lieutenant Linvail into it, the only person he knew on the ship), Spawn's character because he was the one who took Linvail's place at the oars (This is unrealistic, but perfectly admissible, as he keeps reminding Ferethor of Linvail), he hates the row-soldier as he put it because he was the one who whipped him to shreds on his first post, etc.

Would this be all right?

I'm pretty sure it's Sangalazin, then Azaryan. How much is in between the post...I dunno, maybe thirty minutes, maybe less? Perky can be decisive about that.

Quote:

"And bearing in mind that I can already forsee the possibility of personality clashes with Azaryan, and certainly it looks unlikely that Rakin and Sangalazin are ever going to be doting best buddies...now add a bunch of unruly slaves?

Hee. Poor Aman the plots to slit her throat. And by consequence, mine. As for clashes with Azaryan, expect a lot of...constructive criticism for Rakin.

Also? I leave the thread for a week and the mod is posting pictures from Ben-Hur? This game is gonna be absolutely nuts. I can't wait.

Nuts for you Corsairs, looks like. Golly. This is going to be more violent than the orcs in Red Flows the Sirannon.

It's definitely going to be very much fun.

About how long, do people suppose, 'till we start?

Sooner the better, I think. But Perky should give us the exact date.
