The Gondorians are on the Might of Realge. As I understand it, it'll rendezvous with the Yonder Bound some time later and transfer the prisoners. (I assume this is because Yonder Bound is a Large Ship - more room, more strength.) So please post for Graring. He's on the Might, isn't he? I checked the RPG just now and that's what it looked like.

I will be moving home from school tomorrow, so I won't be able to write anything until Wednesday. But unless someone else posts in the meantime, I'd like to move the story along, probably Wednesday afternoon or evening. (Unless unexpected family stuff happens.

) So if Himaran's post doesn't transfer the prisoners to the Yonder Bound I'll do that, and then the storm and see how far I go. Unless you'd rather I didn't, Maika, or someone else's just dying to write it themselves.

Is that ok with you, then? If so, it'd help if I could have a status report on Devon. I'm really unsure about how his injury would logically effect him, and I don't know how unscathed you want him after the capture. He seems a little moody, too, so I was wondering about that.

I don't want to offend or upset anyone, so please tell me if there are any problems. I'd like to keep this from stagnating again.

Carrying on,
Nuranar

No, that's fine by me - thanks if you'd do that, Nuranar

Himaran · 05-11-2004, 08:18 PM

Everyone:

My post is up: Prisoners have been transfered to the Younder Bound/ I'm contemplating ways to get Graring moved with them... any ideas?

Himaran

Himaran: Herm...maybe you could put Garing on guard duty? The prisoners certainly need watching.

Nuranar: It's cool by me, too.

Thanks for the postive feedback, people. It's very encouraging!

I've just posted; the Yonder Bound just sank and what's left of crew and company are in the water. This post ended up being told almost exclusively from Calnan's viewpoint with a little bit of omniscient narration. That's where I have to say something that Calnan, as a landlubber, wouldn't know. Of course, being a landlubber myself, I found it a bit difficult to adequately describe a tropical storm and the breakup of a ship. Apologies for all inaccuracies and improbabilities, and as always, I'll edit in corrections.

Himaran, guard duty for Graring is probably good, but you could also have him sent to Doran; after all, he is the only survivor of . . . whatever that first ship was. I can't remember the name. Doran would probably want to hear a corsair viewpoint on it. Also, if you want I can put in a reference to Calnan seeing him, especially if Graring has a grudge and you'd like to play that out in the future.

Now, who wants to handle the confusion of how widely scattered we're going to be on the random shore we all wash up on?

Glad to see this game finally moving along.

Nuranur:

Graring was on the Bound and washed ashore. He has just noticed a small group of Gondorians on the shore. The others, I am assuming, are still scattered. Maybe small groups could form on different parts of the shore, with Graring tracking one of them. Even now, stranded on an island out in the middle of nowhere, and considered dead on three possible ships, all he can think of is reward! How... corsair like
