Okay, Menelcar has proposed a plan for an attack. While he may be an experienced tactician, I certainly am not, and if you all don't think this would work, I can take it out/change it. Let me know.

The RPG fora are here by the grace and indulgence of the Barrow Wight.
Surely you can come up with some satisfactory corsair/seaman curses that are middle-earth based. Consider it a challenge in descriptive writing . . . ~*~ Pio

Pio, I apologize. I thought those two were too mild to be restricted, that I didn't think of forbearing from using them. So, instead of damn, darn is okay, right? And I will look over my posts and rectify the use of these two words. If I missed something, please tell me through PM or discussion thread.

[QUOTE=Eorl of Rohan]Er, that was MY sentence in MY paragraph, not Esau's, so don't go blaming her. QUOTE]
IDIOT me.  Sorry, spawn. (Or should I say Esau?) And sorry, Eorl, that I insulted your copyright Next time I will read the posts and the writers a bit more carefully... Great list, Fordim, I bet that it'll be useful. And I'm going to be away tomorrow (Friday) and the week-end, so if Lingwë needs to be carried along, I hope you, Kath, will do it. I suppose that Dunwen can do so also. And of course our dear cap Alcarillo, when he's writing the "interrogations"... (I hope there won't be sentences like "one of the young men, the one who looked slightly like a fish, was shuddering in fear, when the captain shot him his angry gaze. Then the coward whispered: 'I'll throw myself over board; I know I've committed a terrible crime, sir'"... )

Aman: Please tell me if I've carried the events on Fame and Fortune too far without you joining in, and I'll delete the latest posts. Was it all right to make Ferethor's escape the cause of a ship-wide alarm?

I'm hesitant to even put my opinion in since my character is in no way involved in all this, but in reality, I don't see why Rakin would even care if Ferethor comes back aboard ship or not. In his mind, it may be just as wel for the rebelious slave to drown as not, considering the trouble he would cause if he were kept alive on board. What's more, the ship under full sail could be going at a rather swift clip of at least eight miles per hour, and anybody who drops off it is soon left behind, and unless they tack the sheets and pull sharp about, he stays behind. And even if they do that, he's going to be in the water for several minutes. That being the case, Chaka wouldn't have much time to ask Rakin if he could save him because by the time he got to Ferethor, the poor chap would be drowned. On the other hand, if Rakin wants to keep Chaka alive, he might forgive him if he jumps over board without permission.
It would definitely be exciting if you did that. And you don't have to pay any attention to anything that I just said, seeing as, after all, they aren't my characters. -- Folwren

Actually, Fol, you're perfectly right. I thought it would be exciting, but that's out, then. Why do I always make mistakes?

Don't take it too hard, Eorl. There's probably a way to do this. I'm a bit too technical, though, maybe. You can work around the problems I put out there, I'm sure.
I mean, take the idea that Ferethor leaps in without Rakin noticing, perhaps. . .and then Chaka decides that he wants to save him (and this rests with Fordim), so he jumps in, too. Rakin, oblivious of Ferethor's break, wonders why on earth Chaka just jumped over board, unless, of course, he intends to free himself. In which case, he'll want to haul Chaka back up into the ship, so he turn about, or send a boat out, and in the process of capturing Chaka again, will also bring Ferethor back to the ship. However. . .Rakin may not be too kindly disposed towards Ferethor, but that is up to Aman. There are actually a few ways to make your idea workable. Perhaps not altogether realistic, but maybe believable (there's a great difference in the two, you know). Just think about it, and maybe if Fordim and Aman are enthusiastic about it, you all can figure it out. -- Folwren By the by, you don't always make mistakes. Ah, and another P.S. - I've been wondering ever since I got onto the BD's when someone would call me Fol.
