Are Elves always the noble ones, getting killed, or whatever? I have no say for Veritas, but if her player doesn't come along we may have to use her instead... and if there's no way around it... we could use Khelek. Not that he would mind, a faster way of getting to the West, if you take my meaning. Who knows, he might get a chance of meeting Gil-galad, and Finrod, and Fingolfin, and Feanor, Turgon, and all the other great Elves of the Eldar Days.

And as for the spy ships, they wouldn't give chase if they weren't well-armed with anything but arrows. They didn't have much technology to sink a ship in those days, unless they were to burn them or something. Could they use oil, perhaps, and create an oil spill, and set it on fire??? Nay, they might not want the risk of burning themselves.

And arrows can't do much against a large ship, except maybe rip a few holes in the sails. It's like going up against a tank armed with a Nerf gun. (Or am I just exaggerating?)

Would it be possible for them to have some foul arts of Sauron? Maybe like explosions that they used in Minas Tirith, or catapult fire brands?
