Cheers, Pio! It would be good to round it all off, and it also leaves Regin with somewhere to go from to rescue Tarn.

Here's my post!

Post by Lalwende for Pio to post.

Lalwendë's post

As if the pain in his chest were not bad enough, a sudden searing pain gripped Tarn’s head and he couldn’t help but let out a loud groan. He put his hands up to the top of his head, to find his hair matted with fresh blood. Clumps of hair and skin fell away in his fingers. But what was the shrieking noise? He thought he was going mad, or that maybe he had died and was meeting some kind of dark devil. He opened his eyes and looked up, just in time to see the blur of wings and claws swooping down at him for another attack.

Putting his head down just in time, he attempted to cover it with his hands, to protect it from another attack. But this thing was relentless. It wanted to hurt him. Whatever he did to cover his head, it was determined.

He felt a surge of pain at the side of his head and fell sideways. Looking up, he saw a Merlin with a piece of his ear in its beak, and he almost fainted. Covering his eyes with one hand, he lashed out wildly with the other. He hit nothing but air, the bird was too swift for his confused, half-conscious flailing. Staggering to his feet, almost falling back down again, he lurched towards the side of the ship, blinded by madness and fear.

Ripped apart, with a broken nose and ribs, missing part of his ear and bleeding profusely, Tarn collapsed over the railing at the very edge of the deck. His arm caught in the rigging and prevented his half conscious body from falling into the icy waters. As he hung there, the ship tossed about on the waves and a plume of spray splashed his face, waking him from his nightmare. He opened his eyes and heard the voice of Marreth, urging the other men to escape.

I got the Corsairs and Tarn off the ship. I did leave an empty post for anyone who needs to finish up...

Can you get/drag Annû to safety?

~*~ Pio

Yep - will do it by tomorrow.

Cami

I've had the crew clean up the aftermath of the Corsair incursion. I'll edit as needed - and please feel free to add a post in as you might want to.

Oro

Please see what I had two of the Elves say about Annû. Arry - hope this is ok with you.

A general request

Please don't put comments in the 'Reason for Edit' box when you are editing on the RPG thread.

Signatures removed and filled in 'SAVES' don't need to be addressed there.

Edits that you want to draw attention to should be commented on in the Game's discussion thread.

Thanks!

~*~ Pio

Orofaniel · 11-11-2004, 08:20 AM

Save filled.

Pio: In your post I got the impression that Galhardir had been shot in the leg, but in my post before that I wrote that he had been shot in the arm. I just wanted to let you know that because, instead of removing anything, I let Galhardir be injured both places.

Toodles,
Oro

piosenniel · 11-11-2004, 11:24 AM

Oops!

Good save of my mistake!

Thanks!

Arry · 11-15-2004, 02:11 AM

Niluial and Oro

Hope you don't mind, but I've put both of you in the big boat with Annû.

The Elves are keeping watch on the pesky Corsairs, while the Lossoth are assisting to get the ropes and nets and floats ready.

Luindal is in the other boat, the same boat that Rôg was in - we are in the boat with most of the equipment.

Let me know if I need to edit anything.

Regin Hardhammer · 11-16-2004, 06:54 AM

Imladris, Niluial,

We still have a loose thread hanging in the game. See post #199. It is where Jynne tries to start a conversation with Andtuariel. The female Elf doesn't answer.

I have two suggestions how to tie this up fast. Both involve edits to post 199 by Imladris. Since this happened some while ago in the game, I prefer we slightly change Jynne's post rather than having a response by Niluial.

Either we could have the last sentence of the post be the Elf glaring back at Jynne, or perhaps spitting in his face. (Don't know if she is too delicate to do that?) Or Imladris could edit by not saying anything to her, but just staring at her and thinking something evil. This would just involve the final sentence or two.

Could you two decide either by pms or on the discussion thread and have Imaldris make the change? Please do this by Friday morning, or let me know if there's a problem.

Many thanks.

Speaking of saves that didn't get filled.....Ishould talk. Sorry about mine. I have half a day of school today (yeah!) and will get at it this afternoon.

~Regin

Imladris · 11-16-2004, 11:13 AM

Quote:

"Elf," said Jynne. "You wouldn't happen to know anything that would be of interest to us, would you?"

The elf straigtened and buttoned her lips, glaring at him. He was foolish to think that she would have betrayed her people.

Niluial · 11-16-2004, 11:17 AM

Arry - That is fine. Thank you

.

[b}Regin[/b] - That takes a lot of pressure off, thank you! Much better...

Best Wishes,
Niluial
