Those noble saves and promises of posting, but what has heppened? I'm sorry to be hasty, but I wish this RPG could continue.

Durelin · 02-15-2006, 09:58 AM

Thinlómien, Aman's post is up.

I'll be posting very soon getting the slaves up to date, aware that a battle is about to begin.

If Dancing spawn or Eorl of Rohan are still out there...are Ferethor and Jagar still going with their crazy plan? And Arry, is Bahir helping in any way, or is he just doing his own thing?

And...we don't want any slave scheme to be successful, or at least not completely successful, at this point, do we? We want to wait until the 'bigger battle' or would it be more interesting if at least a few of the slaves had already escaped to be with the Gondorians at the 'bigger battle?' If Chakka got free, I think he would certainly stay and fight...

Arry · 02-15-2006, 03:13 PM

Bahir will most likely not want to help the Gondorians in any way. He is a completely selfish little . . . well, whelp, say.

His intention is to get back to Umbar and pursue a life of privilege and pleasure if he can.

So, beware - he may rat you out if he thinks you're going to interfere with his designs.

Spawn has been online today (I've seen her), but Eorl has been in the 'downs last time in 11-19-2005. Doesn't sound very promising.

EDIT: One corsair ship is really named the Curamir?!?!!

That's the name of Kath's character! I don't understand. Is this intentional???

Amanaduial the archer · 02-16-2006, 02:35 PM

That was entirely unintentional, I must have been half-asleep - 'scuse me while I shuffle away and alter that...

Kath · 02-16-2006, 06:03 PM

Nice to know I can affect people from afar!

Thinlómien · 02-17-2006, 01:01 AM

That was actually only fun, Aman, nothing worse. Great that you filled the save.

Yes, I'm here (thanks, Lommy), I was just a bit caught up with RL things.

We actually didn't discuss the plan much before Eorl disappeared, but you're right that it's not time for the slaves to make their move yet. Depending on how the battles will go, the stolen liquor may serve some other purpose, too, than Jagar and Ferethor had first planned (perhaps disinfect wounds?).

Thinlómien · 02-20-2006, 03:06 AM

Nice to see you around here too, Spawn.

This is quite sad, but I think we need someone to replace Eorl, if she doesn't reappear soon. Do you agree?

Amanaduial the archer · 02-21-2006, 04:36 PM

We already discussed that really, and said if anyone had someone in mind then to go ahead and PM them - I asked Arry and Durelin (and Envinyatar, although he declined to join on the basis of not having enough time) if they wanted to take his character on when I PMed them about joining the game. If anyone has someone else in mind...? As it is taking on rather than simply forming a new character, I reckon it should be a gamer rather than a total newbie - although, hey, if there isn't any interest, then by all means open it up to new gamers as well: after all, very little plot progress was really made with Ferethor, so a new gamer taking him on could remould him.

Has anyone got someone in mind to take him on who they'd like to PM, or should we open it up to newbies (/place an 'advert' in the Inns?)

Ah, yes... Perhaps Chakka could find another more important and pressing use for the liquor, ignoring any protests? I'd say he's fairly self-assertive like that. Unless you'd rather Jagar make such a choice, deciding against he and Ferethor's brash plans?

I'm very sorry I haven't gotten a post up yet. I have just one more test to deal with tomorrow that requires any of my time, and then I will be free to make several much needed posts and such...

I suppose Ferethor can be carried along until someone claims him. Maybe I'll play around with him until we find someone, if that's alright with everyone? More confrontation between he and Chakka might be fun...

EDIT: In order to avoid a shameful double post, I'm going to just say here that I posted, and that anyone/everyone should let me know if they have any problem with it.

I think Ferethor doing something stupid might be in order, but I don't want to just kill off a character that isn't mine, even if its owner hasn't been around in quite a long time. I think using the alcohol in treating a wound. I'm guessing there will be a number of opportunities for people to get hurt. Do we want a small hole near the bottom of the ship, maybe? Some kind of projectile or something of that sort that could do some damage on the slave deck? As long as that's alright with everyone, I suppose I'll come up with something...
