Fine by me. You can assume the Monks have a sizeable escort with them, for obvious reasons. ;)

LD- I'll make mention of that in my next post about A&A...one would think so, and I hadn't thought of it when I wrote my post.

Since I'm not in on this I don't know how this will work, but..

As you cannot expect to approach his villa with out his accept and since he has already shown it off, you could consider using his vessel? That will also gain you easier acces to the harbour there ;)

Assuming off course you want to be met by open arms and not firey arrows and catapults? :D

Bah. Simple solution. The ship belongs to either Maria, Frederik, or a trading associate of his. :)

I just noticed a mistake in your last post, LD: You say that Marie is Jean's wife when in fact she is his sister.
Of course. Sorry. :confused:
Consider it fixed.

Amric post up now. interaction with John Branden and a slight expansion of his backstory.

LD- When is the FC storyline jump occuring? Should I jump ahead with A&A and the monks to get them closer to position?

It probably won't happen until the New Year to give a few a of the no-shows a chance to sober up. ;) It will definitely be during the first week of January, though. I'm not sure yet of the game time of the jump -- probably a week -- followed by another two weeks... or there abouts.

I'm not sure if V has a specific villa design in mind. ;) I'll post something in the next day or two. Right now I have a date with a bottle of Crown Royal. :)

BTW, I met Chris for a brief session of M&C around noon today. He's looking good. Just as verbose as ever. Anyway, I think he'll be making a return shortly in a guesting role. (3 cheers!!)

Happy New Year Amric. Thanks for taking on such a burden of the writing.

Happy New Year, FC'ers and readers. :D

Yeah Amric, you deserve a round of applause :)

As to the villa there is a fairly detailed describtion from when Maria and Frederik approached, I'll see if I can find it.

Found the first part of it:
“Perhaps, can we berth there or will I have to cast anchor?”

“There is a small harbour, and I’ve extended the wharf to fit at least one large galley, it’ll do.”

Hours passed and the sun began to sink behind the outer rim of islands when finally Frederik pointed towards a small light on a rocky outcropping, “that’s it, and it looks like they are expecting us.”

Maria peered towards the light, “I see no harbour.”

“Beyond the rock, both village and harbour is in the bay behind, the light is only my house.”

“How do they know you’re coming?”

“Perhaps a scout on a horse in the woods on the coast, rangers you know.”

Maria shrugged, it sounded strange that they would know he was on her ship, but that was his problem, not hers.

Half an hour later they pulled around the Rock in the ever-dimming light and Maria was no longer able to see clearly the building atop as anything but a massive shadow with a small number of brightly lit windows.

“The shudders are closed the sea air is cool, you’ll not see much from here.”

Maria grunted and turned towards the harbour and the approach, her every attention to the helmsman and the man sounding depths in the bow.

Suddenly her first mate swore,

“What?” Maria never looked up,

“Look.”

Maria looked and swore and Frederik grinned, swinging lightly at anchor in the harbour was his small vessel gently bobbing on the small crappy waves of the protected natural harbour.

Still grinning he turned to her, “So that’s how they knew I was coming, I wonder how long they have been here.”

Maria merely swore and turned back to the task at hand.

Not as detailed as I recall :) but basicly a small village on a natural harbour protected by a rock thrust into the water with an old mansion atop, Frederik has repaired the house, build a small dock in the harbour and walled in part of the villa. It is guarded by a selection of old FC men and rangers.

Godt Nytår :)

I've wanted to try and get my characters on the same boat as yours, Amric but you went a little too quick for me. Oh well, there's a ship tailing yours now. ;)

Btw, happy new year to everyone!

Sorry, redwolf...I was trying to keep things moving and get Alaric and Alyssa into place where they will be able to interact with the company in a relatively timely manner.

V- Okay, hidden harbor, Big ass rock, small village and a restored mansion/villa with a partial wall. Old FC men...I'll try to remember that...Very helpful. You don't mind if I use writer's license and perhaps add a touch or two? I'll be gentle...

Edit: Post up, and V, I think you'll like what I did with your village and villa. At least I hope so, anyway. Gave it some history and a bit of depth, and Roman baths that work!
