The Ambassador's Son Discussion Thread

Nuranar, PMs checked! And I was reading over the RPG thread to get into the mood before I wrote my next post and I just had to say that your writing is absolutely fantastic. That's all. Mais, tres bien fait!

"Come on then! Lets see whether you'd survive the bar brawls of Gondor!"

Good! Ah very good.

Ok well I've gotten Devon up. It's all I have time for right now (SORRY) but we'll see what I can do later this evening after fencing or tomorrow.

Press on y'all!

Aman, great to see Callath back in action.

Thank you for those kind words - now I feel special. I'm waiting to post until I know your wishes about Meri.

I was thinking yesterday about the scenario - wondering how I'd approach it, if I end up moving the action along - and something occurred to me. We're going to have roughly half our crew captured right off, when they board the Might of Realge. Also, you say the Regal Dawn will be captured as well, after a hard fight. How realistic is it for all of our characters to remain (relatively) unscathed? No, I'm not calling for a volunteer to kill his character; I've grown rather fond of Calnan, myself, and would like to hang onto him for a bit. I was just wondering if you had any thoughts or guidelines about how "useable" you want each of us, for the struggles that will be coming up. For example, Devon is already somewhat hors de combat, and I doubt if what he's doing right now, although perfectly understandable, will do his arm any good. Additionally, how many "expendable crewmen" will we dispose of? Our list of allies is rapidly growing thin.

Just some thoughts -

Well I want to keep Avershire, Meri, Devon and Sedal (a few of those are going to die on land--probably). All the players are in charge of their own characters and their fate. If Marx dies it must be heroic like he's fighting off lots o' big corsairs with tons of arrows etc. in him and he's still going--very similar to Boromir's death. Anyone else: whatever. Lots of Avershire's people will die of course. I need the carpenter too though... I dun remember his name ...

Let's nix boarding the Might of Realge. Just everyone get on the Regal Dawn. Ca va?

Ah, I'm goin out right now but I'll be back and try to get on tonight.

Ta,

I think I set up that boarding in my post - would you like me to rework that, then? It'd be no problem, but I'd like to make sure.

Awaiting orders,
Nuranar

Yes, that would be great. And should I post then the taking of the Regal Dawn and intro to the assault by the Might of Realge? Is it time? lol

Ok, it's fixed. Man, that was a hard one - it took all of five minutes, reworking Avershire's one-sentence order to Talon. Yes, I am a perfectionist. But at least now Talon's party will be following Meri onto the Regal Dawn. I've implied that Avershire is staying on the North Wind, at least for now.

Is it time? lol

Ya think? By all means - I'm getting tired of seeing the poor Ambassador's Son stuck down at the bottom of the Shire page.

When would you guys say it would be a good time for Doran and the rest of his ships to show up and get into the battle? I'm just waiting on the word.
