Weren't there four Corsair ships? I know I have it that way in one of my posts...

I though there were three: Fame and Fortune, Castamir, and Tarkos. I guess I'll need to do some fact-checking.

So there were three Corsair ships.

We have discussed about F&F takling PC-prisoners. I think this would (F&F fleeing, Alcarillo's plan #1) be the ideal moment to do so, if people are still interested in that. Of course, we need a "volunteer" to be taken as a prisoner and so on.

And Alcarillo, I finally learned it. It's Nillendion.

Does the name mean something? (Just thinking...)

I've taken down my save. I'm going to wait until I post any more after battle posts because I think we ought to try to keep fairly in time with the happenings on the Raca and Fame and Fortune. The battle that the Cuivie fought with the NP Corsair ship should have been roughly about the same time that the Raca and Fame and Fortune end up fighting, but we went through it really fast because Firefoot and I were the only players.

So, when the fight between the Raca and Fame and Fortune comes closer to a close, I'll put up my nest post.

By the way - it's evening/night, remember.

I wouldn't know; I got it from the character bio of one of you soldiers.

I am very sorry that I didn't fill in the save Saturday at the latest as I promised but I had problems with my internet access. I'm going to fill it in half an hour after I've done the final changes to the text.

I'm thinking that my next post will involve at least a small hole blown in the side of that ship near the bottom of it, at that slave deck, caused by some kind of shrapnel. A slave will be wounded, and Chakka will use Jagar's alcohol to disinfect the slave's wounds. Perhaps Ferethor will go crazy on Chakka for it.

Greetings from RL, all. My apologies for not getting back to the game sooner, but work has been getting more intense over the last 6 weeks. I've posted a save so Nimir can participate in the battle at hand. Hopefully things are quiet for the next month, so I'll be able to actually *write posts*.
