Typing quietly on my laptop at school....

Lalwende - I don't see a problem with this. Just give us a two or three sentence mini-profile on the discussion thread to let us know who this person is.

Typing sneakily at work before anyone else gets in....

Cheers! I will make sure to do this - now I need to hurry up and think of a name for 'anonymous injured corsair' as he is known to me right now...

EDIT:
As already mentioned I want to mention an injured Corsair in my next post where Tarn is lying in agony on the Corsair ship after his thorough pasting at the hands of Annu. This is the Corsair who Tarn helped off the ice after the battle there.

Regan - A Corsair sailor, he is in his late thirties, around the same age as Tarn. He has dark hair and a black beard. He is a hardened sea-dog, and carries around his flask of fiery spirit everywhere with him; he finds it can also be a useful thing to offer to any man whose comradeship he wishes to foster. This is how he got to know Tarn, when the holes in the ice were being dug. Tarn rescued him from the ice, and he was not in the latest battle. He helps Tarn out in his turn now.

I've filled in my save - hope it's all spelled correctly, I've just got myself a laptop and I'm getting used to the freaky new keyboard and mouse affair, so I'm hoping I've made no typos. Quite funny really, the first thing I do is write my RPG post.

What's the next move then? I have to say, I really enjoyed those last few posts, the words fair flowed out, and there's been some great stuff to read!

Ok, I'm going to talk to Imladris this evening on msn about the post I missed. I'll try and plan it out and get the post up soon...

Best Wishes,

Lalwende (and everyone else) --

We're coming around to the final few weeks of our game. Here is the general outline we'll be working from:

1. Elves find and take the large Stone. Mild storm blows up, their ship struggles to stay off the sandbar, and the ship’s mast cracks (courtesy of Marreth). Elves struggle to rig up a temporary sail.

2. Meanwhile, Corsairs are watching and come roaring out to the same spot. Using seals, they retrieve the second, smaller Stone.

3. Elves manage to regain limited sailing power. They come towards the Corsair vessel intending to attack.

3. Marreth orders the Elven ship to halt: he demands the Elves turn over the larger stone or the kidnapped Elf will walk the plank.

4. At this point, I understand that Luindal has a slight trick up his sleeve. (Drat that Elf!)

4. The two ships draw abreast and general combat ensues….

Imladris

Could you send me a note how you'd like to resolve (or intensify) the relations between Jynne and Marreth? I would like some help on this. Let me know what you had in mind, I'll get back with you. I also have one possible idea which I will forward to you.

I'll do a short post for the save spot where Marreth hears about Diera's death and has his suspicions but resolves not to do anything till he is certain.... (At this point, you are as likely to end up on that plank as the female Elf!) We need to make a decision quickly on this since the game is drawing nearer to the end.

~Regin

Edit: Imladris, Check you pms. I've sent you a note.

I've filled in my SAVE - the Elves are now looking beneath the waters just off the sandbar for the palantiri.

We are almost at the end?

All things must pass... I shall relish every moment left to the game then. This has been my first RPG here, apart from the 'Dragon, and I hope I shall find another good one afterwards. Had a good idea for a game myself, but I'm nowhere near brave enough to have a go at running any games; I'll sit on it for a while I think.

I will concentrate on getting Tarn ready to get out to join in with the final battle. He should also be ready with the seals. I've grown quite fond of the rogue, so let's hope he comes to no further harm.
