Okay, currently convened at the Karibzir household are:

Kathaani, Inzillomi, Marsillion, Azarmano, and Tiru

In my next post (which I'm composing right now), they'll be coming in and discussing what all is happening. Basically a "Hey, Abarpa's captured" "Oh crap, we've gotta get moving" "Oh crap, the King's Men are coming first thing in the morning" type scenario. I mean to leave off mid-discussion about what to do next, but Himaran and Meneltarmacil: how do you plan on getting your characters into that cozy little well-guarded sitting room? Did you want to have them meet up on the road, or do you want them in on the planning?

Is it possible that Abarpanaru's capture was made known publicly? Perhaps a local could bring news to Abarzadan, causing him to visit the home without knowledge of the meeting; do to his interest in Numenor.

If the event is kept in secrecy, I'll just have him find out about it through more subtle means.

Great posting all!

Himaran, wasn't it your character who overheard Marsillion and Nusaphad talking in the inn, so he ought to already know about Abar's capture? Perhaps through his past association with the Faithful, he'd find it necessary to drop by the Karibzir household (ostensibly to see if all was well, but really because he's fascinated with Numenorean politics).

LMP- Is a nickname more than some derisive use of terms like "Elf-Lover" necessary? You can come up with all sorts of variations on disgust for anyone who continues the worship of antiquated deities too...? I can't picture Abarpanaru taking well to being called a vassal either.

Menel, I'm not at all sure how to bring your character into the meeting, mostly because I'm not quite clear where he is and who he's with...? Perhaps, since it seems like he goes between the two groups of Faithful (Andunie and Romenna) he could be sent with a message of some kind? Or since he knows that Abar is captured, he could just go to volunteer his help to the family?

How is it that I fail to check in once and a lot of things happen...

You're all plotting against me.

I hope maybe that in Adunaic "Fool of the Elves" is synonymous with Pawn of the Elves? I guess they didn't play chess in Numenor, so that'll have to do.

"Abar babar bo babar bonanna fanna fo fabar" was tempting, but it just didn't seem quite right, if you know what I mean. Thanks for the suggestion, though, TB12.
