Perhaps the Greek Fire could be a valuable sort of stuff; they don't like to use it except when they need to. So they wouldn't use it at first, but when they realized it was a losing battle they would use it to escape?

Anguirel · 02-04-2006, 06:39 AM

I like that, yes. And perhaps only the Fame and Fortune is equipped with it if you want to limit it still further.

Obviously stores of the stuff will be more plentiful if and when the fleet gets back to Umbar.

Now, what are we up to? I think we should start writing again before we get rusty.

-Gondorians-attack proper starts
-Slaves-scheme
-Sangalazin-party
-Everyone else-to battle!

Firefoot, excellent idea about the Greek fire.

And here's another matter to settle: if and when the Raca captures a slave, should he be an NPC slave, or an actual player's character?

I have little preference on whether we keep the Wildfire of Umbar for later or use it now. It may be a good idea to wait on it for the bigger battle, but if you Corsairs really have your hearts set on it for this battle, I won't complain, though Alcarillo may.

I'm all for it. Let's start this battle. At least start writing for it. We need a post for Rakin, at least. As for the Slaves and what's going to be happening with them, that can be planned as we go, but we should still start this battle.

Those noble saves and promises of posting, but what has heppened? I'm sorry to be hasty, but I wish this RPG could continue.

Durelin · 02-15-2006, 09:58 AM

Thinlómien, Aman's post is up.

I'll be posting very soon getting the slaves up to date, aware that a battle is about to begin.

If Dancing spawn or Eorl of Rohan are still out there...are Ferethor and Jagar still going with their crazy plan? And Arry, is Bahir helping in any way, or is he just doing his own thing?

And...we don't want any slave scheme to be successful, or at least not completely successful, at this point, do we? We want to wait until the 'bigger battle' or would it be more interesting if at least a few of the slaves had already escaped to be with the Gondorians at the 'bigger battle?' If Chakka got free, I think he would certainly stay and fight...

Arry · 02-15-2006, 03:13 PM

Bahir will most likely not want to help the Gondorians in any way. He is a completely selfish little . . . well, whelp, say.

His intention is to get back to Umbar and pursue a life of privilege and pleasure if he can.

So, beware - he may rat you out if he thinks you're going to interfere with his designs.

Spawn has been online today (I've seen her), but Eorl has been in the 'downs last time in 11-19-2005. Doesn't sound very promising.

EDIT: One corsair ship is really named the Curamir?!?!!

That's the name of Kath's character! I don't understand. Is this intentional???

Yes, I'm here (thanks, Lommy), I was just a bit caught up with RL things.

We actually didn't discuss the plan much before Eorl disappeared, but you're right that it's not time for the slaves to make their move yet. Depending on how the battles will go, the stolen liquor may serve some other purpose, too, than Jagar and Ferethor had first planned (perhaps disinfect wounds?).
