The Ambassador's Son Discussion Thread

[Nuranar]

Nuranar, I am not sure how you want Calnan to act towards Meri. Do you want him to be open about what happened, or do you want him to just sort of ignore her? How mad is he? From your post I gathered that he wasn't fuming about it but that he definitely was feeling no more than just 'frosty' towards her? I sort of took it as far as I dared with my last post.... anything you want to specify? or should we just take it and go with it?

Maika, are you referring to my last post on the discussion thread? In that, I was just preemptively trying to set up the battle wherein Meri is in a spot and Calnan helps her out. I think I may have jumped the gun a bit; sorry for the confusion.

Now, if you're just asking because of my last post on the RPG thread: You've pretty well summed up how he's feeling. He resents her behavior and is a little angry, but tries not to be so. He's showing his displeasure as clearly as he can without being rude or insubordinant: Very, Almost overly respectful, completely expressionless, showing no opinion when having to speak to her. I'm seeing not ignoring her, but...just looking at her, when he passes by. The look very subtly saying, "I know what you've done, and you know you shouldn't have." Like the subtlest form of finger-pointing. She looks up, and his eyes are on her, for a full second, then he looks away. Just not letting her forget. A form of revenge, in a way.

How's that? Confusing enough? Let me know and I'll try to convey it better, maybe in a PM so I don't weary everyone on the thread.

Carry on,
Nuranar

Sorry I've been AWL for a little bit. Bunch of crap to deal with here at home, and I was distracted.

Nuranar, you talked to the 9th? Good ol' Tom Stuart. Ahhh, the 9th's an awesome unit. I loved it when I was outnumbered. It was more fun that way. But everytime I went confederate, we outnumbered the Union. But at least when we went yank, we were outnumbered.

By the way, I put up another post. Its kind of like the one I deleted.

Earendil, check your PMs please, and very nice post.

Determined to head it off, I would like to make sure that if you post on the discussion thread, please have the purpose of your post be directed to our RPG; don't let the name, 'Discussion Thread' mislead you. Very interesting how three of our players are civil war reenactors. Have any of you by chance been to Gettysburg? I used to live there for about five years and am currently in Savannah. Big Civil War villages to be sure.

Now, Here is the next goal to our game:

- The next battle, Avershire takes on two Lesser Ships at the same time. Most of Avershire's crew boards the Regal Dawn to escape their ship (which is sort of attached to the Regal Dawn by grapnels) as the Might of Realge sinks The North Wind. The grapnels are cut just in time and the Regal Dawn rights herself. The majority of Avershire's crew takes over the Regal Dawn and sends it after the Might of Realge to rescue the other members of Avershire's crew (who are overtaken by the corsairs of that ship). It is a hard fight, but the Regal Dawn eventually wins and the crewmembers who have survived the battles board her (both corsairs and Avershire's men).

(A life boat is launched at the last moment from the Might of Realge and speeds away without the know of Avershire to warn the Yonder Bound of the Regal Dawn's fate)

- Avershire takes a role call and finds that he now only has 30 souls to man an 85 crew ship. So he forces some of his corsair prisoners to join in the working of the sails and things of the sort while his men stand as guards or overseers.

I think we should rush through this rather quick with maybe a few short posts to cover it, because I would like to complete this RPG rather soon, Pio has been overly gracious to us for not giving us the boot swift and sure all ready! And the next little parts will certainly be more interesting anyways.

An honest question: Should I post what I had in mind for the rest of game now or would you rather me reveal it to you as we came upon it? I'm just wondering if it would be better to tie the game all together at once so we all have a good idea of what is to come and what we can do with our characters.

Bon, c'est tout.

I'm sorry for the reenacting thing - I made sure not to post unless I had something RPG-related to say, too. But honestly, I couldn't resist talking about it anyway. So you were in Gettysburg? Mayhap you were there summer of '98 for the 135th reenactment. That still remains the best event I've ever been to.

Yes, let's get the next part over with quickly. And as for me, I'd like it if you posted the rest of what's to happen. I think it would help to get us geared up for how we want our characters to finish, plus giving us a finish line and something to look to. But that's just my two cents.

Carry on!

I posted, and its Saturday, so I kept my promise!

Earendil - I went ahead and said that Doran would wish to see Adeline once she gained consciousness. If I was wrong in figuring that he would wish to chew Adeline out (or such), just let me know.

[Earendil Halfelven]

Maika, I would reply to your pm via pm but I can't figure out how to pm on this new format. Can somebody please show me where the pm button is? I can't seem to find it...

Anyways, Duralin, all's well.
