I need emails to keep up with this so just checking in!

Just checking in with all of you. I can't wait for this RPG to begin! Storms and mutinies and shipwrecks, oh my!

Anyways, for those of you aboard the Ráca, I plan on posting a list of some of the crewmembers who will frequently appear in my posts and their jobs. For example, Caradhril, from my first post, is the master, the man who navigates the ship and occasionally steers it.

That's an awesome idea, Alcarillo!

I don't know if I'll do it, though...unless Perky and Firefoot want it. Is it necessary, do you think?

Folwren - unless you want to do it, I'd say you don't need to. If random sailor/soldier #23 happens to be necessary to do something important, you can always assign them a name and role.

You may want to have someone like a first mate, though. Up to you.

Right. I figured it'd be less necessary for me to post who my people were, seeing as you and Perky, who are the only other RPers on the ship aren't too concerned with how the ship is being run. I have in my mind who I want to be doing what (Forimar, for instance, is my bosun), but I don't think I need to say who all my crew is.

Yes, I've a first mate.

He's the left-tennant that met the King and the Councelor at the landing, I think. I didn't name him, though, did I? That can wait.

Actually, Aman, I wonder if you have to die.

I must say I hadn't yet considered it - but have no fear, I am sure that Rakin will certainly not be going gently into any good night

Hate I can understand. Pity...well, you'd need a reason.

I was thinking, as obviously Rakin wouldn't forget Ferethor easily, that he might remember that Ferethor was a captain once and try to pry some information out of him. Military secrets, etc.

Hmm...I'm not sure actually, I don't think so. See, Ferethor has been a slave aboard the Fame and Fortune under Rakin for donkey's years; if Rakin had intended to get anything out of him, he probably already would have done so - it is unlikely that Ferethor would have any other knowledge of use to Rakin, bearing in mind that he was captured so long ago. And for the idea that he would not have forgotten his attack on him - bearing in mind that everyone seems to be trying to kill Rakin, well, after a time, one simply loses count and forgets specifics...

No, but I don't think he would parade him on deck - after all, why waste the slave-power? He would be of more use rowing.

Sorry, I just don't think they're particularly likely. And there would, of course, but a certain amount of animosity between the pair, certainly from Ferethor's side - but the Captain probably wouldn't go out his way to make life hard for the slave, as it would only make him less efficient for his purpose aboard the ship i.e. as a rower. But, of course, if Ferethor was to try anything particular (and realistic) again, then that would be a different matter...
