We may thank Eru that Lingwë's safe this time...

For me, it's all the same who's with who. You (Kath+Dunwen) can decide.

Well I was thinking of maybe pairing up with Dunwen if she doesn't mind so that I can maybe quiz Nimir about his father and find out if he knew mine. Only if that sounds ok to her though.

Fine by me, Kath ! Ironically, I found out I'm being sent out of town again on short notice from Monday to Thursday, and I won't have computer access.

Alas, Nimir wouldn't have known your dad -- he didn't have any direct contact with Gondorian soldiers or sailors until he met the guy who recruited him.

So, are we polishing swords or on Kitchen Patrol?

Eorl of Rohan · 11-05-2005, 03:12 AM

Pio, I know this isn't actually related to the roleplay, but I still can't figure out what 'celebrating with the white sox' in your address part means. What is soxs? They don't say on the dictionary.

---------------

EDIT by Pio

The White Sox are a baseball team and as of a few weeks ago, the winners of the World Series here in the U.S. Originally they called themselves the American League Chicago White Stockings (their whole uniform was white including their long socks).

The word 'Sockings' in their name was shortened to 'Sox' and the name stuck.

And here's probably more than you wanted to know: There was also a National League Chicago team called the White Stockings -- they became the Chicago Cubs (and will win the World Series in 2006!

)

Ah well, Curamir is used to being disappointed. I don't mind which punishment we end up doing, but since Lommy is going to be on her own maybe we should let her pick

Also, if you're going to be away I'll just take my post up to asking about your father and then leave it up to you what you say.

This note was left by Fowlren on another game thread. She asked to have it put here so you folk would know as well.

Well, I've returned, for a short time, and I've managed to fill in my save.

Perky, I've given the king an offer of climbing the rigging - take it or leave it, depending on his character.

Lommy, I liked your dishwashing mate. And your Cook, though rather mean, was wonderfully protrayed. Good job.

Well, I'd prefer a joyride of the ship, but I'll save that for the open water

Take it or die by my sword (It's good to be the king

)

Folwren · 11-09-2005, 08:42 AM

Good lord, Perky, that was an unexpected reply and turn of events. . .from the king. Poor Hereric.

If you don't mind, take out his handling of the dagger. The rest should be alright, but I doubt that he'd reach for a weapon. It's more likely that he'd be shocked and embarrassed, rather than angry. Perhaps try to apologize, even, since he didn't know the King was kidding. (Yours and Alcarillo's posts absolutely cracked me up!)

I'll write something later in the day. *chuckle*

Thanks

. I quite like the cook too, though Lingwë doesn't.

Kath · 11-10-2005, 03:03 PM

Dunwen I left my post at my question so you can take it from there!

Also people, please remind me when I've made a save, I thought I'd done that post days ago!

Sorry Hiriel but no, it was dinosaurs beginning with a U I needed, and the general consensus was utahraptor in the end!

Also, is Dunwen around at all does anyone know? I'm quite curious as to the answer to Curamir's question!

Dunwen · 11-16-2005, 01:17 AM

Kath, I am indeed back home at my lovely computer, having crawled out from under piles of work on my desk and piles of laundry at home. Your answer has been posted! I thank you for patience.

--Dunwen

Folwren · 11-22-2005, 01:43 PM

I've filled in my Save.

Perky, the captain is asking how the king slept probably out of pure courtesy. He's really anxious to tell him about the smoke on the horizon and why they're making full sail. So, once your character's replied, you can have Hereric explain, if you like.

We may want to address the other ships behind us.

-- Folwren

Firefoot · 11-22-2005, 03:32 PM

Well, I couldn't let you have this conversation without me...

Menelcar has rather interrupted, so I'll leave it up to you how far along the conversation was before Menelcar got there.

Anguirel · 11-22-2005, 03:33 PM

Haven't the Gondorians jumped the gun a bit? We haven't even attacked Pelargir yet, and I thought there was to be some time after the attack before the Gondorian fleet became aware of us...or am I misinterpreting the smoke?

Folwren · 11-22-2005, 04:07 PM

Ask Perky, but it seems to me that what's happened is, we've seen the smoke in early morning, you all having struck during the night, but we won't be getting there until afternoon, I guess. You RPers need to jump in write about the attack now. Stick up Saves, I'd advise, if you don't have time to write immediately. If people really want to get complicated, you Umbarian people could write your posts for the night and then Perky, Firefoot, myself, and whatever other Gondorians there are put our posts where they belong (move them). But that would take some work, and although I'm willing to do it, the others will have to be, too, and they'll have to be moved in the same order they're in now.

----------------------------------

Perky, I'm leaving the next post to you, as I intended. It's great than Menelcar has joined us. I dunno if I'm going to let Hereric know he's been slighted.

-- Folwren

Anguirel · 11-23-2005, 05:03 AM

But I'm still hamstrung by this wretched chess match! Argh...

I think the random flashback to the Corsair attack will look a bit confusing. If the other Gondorians aren't averse to it, I'd quite like the posts to be moved once our attack posts are up.

Otherwise, we'll have a rather cumbersome "The evening before Captain Hereric sighted smoke" kind of construction. Besides, the Pelargir attack is where us Corsairs get to have a good deal of fun, and if our raid is demoted to a mere flashback it'll slightly hamper that. In my view.

Although my hands are tied with the much more warlike other two Corsair leaders keeping such a low profile, I'll try and post an attack description.

Folwren · 11-23-2005, 08:22 AM

Well, I'm willing to move my post, but the others have to be willing to do that, too. Perky? Firefoot?

-- Folwren

Firefoot · 11-23-2005, 05:09 PM

That's fine - just let me know what needs to happen.
