My post is up now, credit any grammatical errors to Sophia seeng how she is my "semi official proofreader"

Soph and I will have to collaborate with Regin, Him, and Fea (pending??) on what will happen next.

P.S. I would be suprised if Sophia pays for anything in a timely fashion

, but maybe this isn't the time or place for sibling fueding

Very nice, TB. I've just edited my last post to add a bit more to it. Inzi's ready to go, whenever you guys are.

I've re-edited my post to better accomodate Regin's character.

Great post, TB. I suppose that Abar, Inzi, and Aza (with Th in tow?) should be formulating a plan to get into Armenelos?

Hmm... would it be possible that there is some sort of sewer network that runs underneath the city. Dirty, yes, but traversable, perhaps? Just throwing out an idea - it seems unlikely that we could just walk in without being spotted and captured.

Nice edit, Fea. I think it does reflect Azarmano better, and also shows a nice note of humility on Inzi's part.

As for Himaran's suggestion, I recall a mini-rp that ran in Gondor a couple years ago where Rimbaud and Estelyn blocked an invasion of Minas Tirith which would have entered through the sewers (The Saving of the Star, I believe?). It seems as though if it could be plausible in Minas Tirith it could be plausible in Armenelos. Both are examples of Numenorean city-planning.

However there are a few thing that would need to be incorporated:
1. They would need a credible source to guide them into and/or through the sewers
2. I doubt (highly) the sewers would be unguarded.

the sewer thing is getting a bit hackneyed. We did it in Hills of Evendim too.

Could we try harder? Some alternative?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-29-2005, 06:59 AM

The Eagles could come.

More seriously though... the sewers have been shot down because of over-use and sheer difficulty.

We could do the hiding-in-plain-view approach, but that already failed where the King's Men didn't believe that the group was another bunch of them.

Our idea needs to be creative, clever, and unused (which means those darned Eagles need to stay put).

I'd say it would be better to avoid being overtly sneaky, but not to be too obvious. Is there a place in the city that these three would have reason to go? Once they're in the city, we can work from there. It's just getting them in without getting them in prison.
