Actually, Esau, I was waiting for your post. I have my rough draft all written up that involves your character (I thought you might feel left out - how nice is me? +ravels in narcissist pleasure+) I was going to PM you and see if you had enough time to take an active role in the roleplay, whether it would be all right for my character to contact yours, but now I'll just go for it because I take this as an unspoken permission. I'll assume that your character haven't moved. I'll have the post up by tomorrow at the latest.

Ah, how nice of you, indeed, thanks very much! You know, it's hard to make a conversation for an introvert character who is sitting alone.

Spawn and Eorl

Chakka's proposition to Rakin may mean that he spends some time out of the slavedeck, but I am sure that he's not going to get away from the oars, totally (if at all)! So you may soon have some company down there...

I see no reason why we can't stretch the xebec. After all, Rakin could very well have had it fitted out to his particlar likings and needs when the Fame and Fortune came to him, or it's even concievable that his favorite despots mandated the ship to be fitted a certain way, just as a function of the navy's needs or because Sangalazin really wants his frescos. Which would be kinda an interesting conflict between them, I think. But His Royal Perkyness gets the final word on that, I suppose.

Hoi, Perky! Firefoot made out your character to claustraphobic. . .if that's the case, is the King going to have problems with his lodging?

Indeed! Let the madness begin

Well, I'm planning for us to spend the first day on the river (we're currently on our first day), then our first night, then our second day, and we arrive at the city at night. As for the Umbarian forces, you will reach the city at day to start your attack. The time from Umbar's arrival and Gondor's arrival will be fairly short, but there will be a period when Umbar is fighting and Gondor doesn't know. Might get a little confusing, but it's only for a couple of days

Save - Captain Vórimandur on deck and in his office, scolding those who wandered the pier earlier.

Sounds quite creepy...
