Serenoli, what do you think? Taking away the bit you proposed Gor will mean completley re writing the post.

Glad you liked the post. I will post similar things for Ray and Marty once they get popped off.

Earniel, I can't agree more. That will not be reasonable for the pirates to continue the raid.
What you say here I said many-many posts ago - the only advantage of the pirates is secrecy. Once the FOGAL people insisted on getting the warning of the raid by smelling a smoke at 400 km, the whole original idea was ruined, both the nice fight and the bonfires. So now, what?

The original idea was changed as more players got involved and as it got woven into the larger storyline. Saying it was ruined is a bit strong. Getting attached to one form of an idea is dangerous in this context, it's part of what leads to squabbling instead of cooperation. ![]()

Crazy Squirrel, are you on right now? I'm wondering if you could make one tiny change in your post #802, where it says Buz went drinking at the Star - can you write it that he headed that way, and was sort of sullenly thinking, then halfway there he changes his mind and zoots home? So our posts match in that tiny detial.
![]() Sun-Star, I sure wish YOU'd post here more often! I'm serious. This story has needed the POV of the Kings military intelligence for ages now. Plus, you're very good at dialogue. Earniel, excellent, and Shah, and Lady M, all great reading! Everyone, nice posts. So, TD and Udu and Serenoli, and Crazy Squirrel, did you four agree with how I started the brawl in defence of Lilly? I haven't heard feedback at all about it. You know, I had an idea come to me last night when I was laying in bed, tryna fall asleep and thinking about the story - what if the fighting Nazzies knock something accidentally into that firepit, and the whole bleedin' building goes up in a whirlwind of flames! Can you imagine? They'd all forget the fight for a minute just to flee from the place; all those Nazgul freaking out and running away from a fire. I'd write it but I have to let you four follow the post I already wrote.

"Buz left them at the doors of Aiwendis's wing, and strode alone towards the "Star of Earendil", a very decent establishment he had stumbled upon right alongside the Rotting Cod, to soothe his parched throat. But once there, the wine appeared sour to him. After a few glasses, he rose swearing and made his way to Orrodel to think." No need to get mad. Do you want the REAL explanation why it was Lilly and not one of the good guys who was tortured in this story? Here it is: I was the ONLY one who agreed for my character to be tortured! No one of the FOGAL's agreed. Of course, Udu's "facilities" were originally planned for them. And once the facilities were there, there should be someone to torture. Otherwise that would have been a loose end in the story. I am glad to be rescued, thanks, Viv and Buz! Only perhaps it was too early - 1. I haven't seen this scream cell yet and 2. I really hoped to see Tol changing into a maid-rescuing knight. But, anyway, thanks, it was getting too hot there! Great post. As to the last question, Oh, please, don't burn Udu's house! That will be a city scandal. Moreover, knocking down some coals on the stone floor of the dungeon will not lead to a fire. I think the fight will stop, once they realise that they are evenly matched. But it is up to Udu, TD and Serenoli. Last edited by CrazySquirrel : 02-21-2006 at 02:21 PM. |

You're right, maybe I was a bit too hasty with the rescue attempt. Sorry about that;
![]() edit: AND, so your Lilly is the story's sacrificial lamb! I never knew that. I wonder why none of the FOGALs wanted to play a good guy that gets tortured. It all makes sense now; poor Lilly though, to have to be the martyr like that! It's way too late in the story now, but if I knew then what I know now, I'd have done a few things differently. Like, I could have invented my OWN important elf or human, and then made him or her do my bidding, and get tortured if needs be! ![]() ![]() ![]()

Heheh! Its the whole Roherric Knightly gene! Ray has it too, perhaps he inherited it from his long lost ancestor TOLDOVAK! The world will never know...

![]() Also, there's that old problem that you FOEADs have about being discovered - if one of the main "good" characters got tortured, wouldn't that cause some danger of discovery? ![]() It seems like the best option would have been to make a "good" character who was dispensable (sp?) and wouldn't be missed, like a Tolkien version of a travelling salesman or something.
