Himaran: Herm...maybe you could put Garing on guard duty? The prisoners certainly need watching.

Nuranar: It's cool by me, too.

Thanks for the postive feedback, people. It's very encouraging!

I've just posted; the Yonder Bound just sank and what's left of crew and company are in the water. This post ended up being told almost exclusively from Calnan's viewpoint with a little bit of omniscient narration. That's where I have to say something that Calnan, as a landlubber, wouldn't know. Of course, being a landlubber myself, I found it a bit difficult to adequately describe a tropical storm and the breakup of a ship. Apologies for all inaccuracies and improbabilities, and as always, I'll edit in corrections.

Himaran, guard duty for Graring is probably good, but you could also have him sent to Doran; after all, he is the only survivor of . . . whatever that first ship was. I can't remember the name. Doran would probably want to hear a corsair viewpoint on it. Also, if you want I can put in a reference to Calnan seeing him, especially if Graring has a grudge and you'd like to play that out in the future.

Now, who wants to handle the confusion of how widely scattered we're going to be on the random shore we all wash up on?

Glad to see this game finally moving along.

Nuranur:

Graring was on the Bound and washed ashore. He has just noticed a small group of Gondorians on the shore. The others, I am assuming, are still scattered. Maybe small groups could form on different parts of the shore, with Graring tracking one of them. Even now, stranded on an island out in the middle of nowhere, and considered dead on three possible ships, all he can think of is reward! How... corsair like

Hi

I had planned for this game to be done by the end of May.

How is the storyline coming along with regard to this deadline?

Well, I'm not too sure what Maika had in mind. I think it would be possible for us to end it by the end of May, if we rush it just a bit. But it's in Maika's hands, who seems to be very busy again, poor thing. I know how that feels...

Anyway, I was wondering if it would be alright if I picked up a little secondary-type character until Adeline gets into the action a bit more. I know it is kind of a bit late for that, but I was wondering if I could pick up the role of one of the Gondorian prisoners now stranded on the island. I already have a post written up for this (I guess I got a little carried away...), so I will post it and wait for feedback to know whether or not it needs to be deleted, or just modified in any way.

Thanks!

Himaran - I was going to say I'm "glad" for Graring to be still with us, but I guess Calnan wouldn't think so. But for the game, I'm glad he's washed up on shore!

End of May, Pio? I think it would happen - provided someone moves to the story along at least every few days. We're pretty close to the end, it looks like. One more fight - and a land fight at that. No more ships!

Durelin, I enjoyed your post - very well written. I don't have a problem with your new character.

No Maika? Sadness.

But please, let's keep this going so that she can jump in when she has a chance, instead of spending her time in lighting a fire under us again. Arvedui or Aman, would one of you be able to start the next part of the plan?

Quote:

On the beach of The Bay from which Doran has sailed lay the remains of the Yonder Bound. They had been nearly two leagues from there when the storm came upon them. In the jungles beyond the sand gathers what's left of Avershire's men. Among them are Avershire, Meri, Devon, Calnan, Callath, and Telson (unless one of the main characters resigns) plus a dozen other crewmembers. They scavenge for food and erect some decent shelter (one of the surviving crewmembers is the North Wind's carpenter. They're also hiding from the few corsairs that have survived.

One last note - in finding the above plan, I discovered that I hadn't followed it in particulars for the storm and shipwreck. I'm so sorry! I'm at home now, I had to write the post on another computer, and I either forgot or couldn't find that outline. If it's a problem, tell me.

Carrying on,
Nuranar

Nuranur:

Since I have Jurex on Doran's flagship, is it fine If I post about Doran finding the remains of the 2 destroyed ships North Wind and ....? and then turn towards the island, finding the Younder Bound's wreckage and landing on the shore?

Or should I wait until the poor widdle Gondorians have enough time to deal with their booboos?

Still the happiest BarrowDowner,

Himaran
