I don't have long to say anything, but I guess what's needed to be said is what's to happen next. . .

Corsairs, if you will, whatever of you are left, please do your fighting at Pelegir. Slaves. . .do whatever you want to do.

All of us Gondorians on ships and whatnot - write about today's sailing. Make conversation, prepare for battle. Next week, when I come back here (that is, next Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday, depending on how much people have written by then), we Gondorians will arrive to a ransacked and burning city.

And if anyone would like to disagree or argue, that's fine, too. . .just write something!

I really need Hiriel to either turn up or be otherwise dealt with...

Aman, so relieved to see you back. We must play chess!

Ideally, actually, I'd like Sangalazin and his bodyguards (currently scavenging the ruins of Pelargir and about to treacherously attack Azaryan's Corsairs to steal their plunder when they least expect it!) to stumble on Azaryan and either do him in or think they've done him in. Obviously, though, I need Hiriel's permission or a consensus of players' agreement before I'll do such a thing.

Another plothook-the xebec is currently crewed only by a band of Sangalazin's Guards led by Andlang. Ideal for a slave revolt...which can perhaps be put down in the nick of time by Chatazrakin's returning plunderers...

What do people think of all this?

About Hiriel's character

I’ve gotten no response back from Hiriel to my PM’s. And since Hiriel’s last post to the RPG was 10/27 and the last post to the Discussion Thread on 11/14 I’m going to declare the character of Lord Azaryan up for grabs for now.

Please go ahead with this. It still leaves room should Hiriel resurface at some point.

Thanks!

Sound excellent - scandal and treachery! I would expect nothing less of you

Go with that, and I apologise: I will try to get up a post as soon as I can, tomorrow night ideally if I don't have too much homework and extra stuff. (Such as restringing my cello...ooohbother...)

Indeed, over tea and crumpets apparently. Yeah, I heard that tone of voice. But yes, please do make that post - looking forward to this.

With all these missing people, would it be an idea to maybe send a request out to see if any other Downer's want to take over the characters that are now ownerless? If this is a stupid idea feel free to ignore it, I just wondered if it might be worth it seeing as quite so many people seem to be disappearing.

Firefoot · 01-04-2006, 05:27 PM

Okay, I've finally the written the post that I've been meaning to write since, oh, before Christmas.

I didn't see much point in prolonging battle planning, being that Perky is not here and I'm not much of a tactician. So Menelcar's off to find Hereric again.

Anguirel · 01-05-2006, 03:01 AM

Kath, I think finding a Chakka replacement would definitely be good, but I will have killed off Azaryan by midday!

EDIT: Firefoot, you seem to have mentioned the Gondorians possessing more NPC ships. Does this mean we Corsairs can have some too? Pretty please...

Firefoot · 01-05-2006, 06:58 AM

I don't see why not. I had already assumed you had some, anyway.

I haven't heard of Eorl of Rohan for ages, so it seems that I'm the only slave character around for now. I feel so lonely...

This would be a good chance for Jagar to try to follow Ferethor's plan ie. steal liquor in order to set the ship on fire at some point. I could write that during this weekend. I don't know about a real revolt, but maybe Jagar could persuade a few other slaves to make some mischief and help him with his task. What do you think?

A well done death . . . let it stand.
