The Free Company Tavern & OOC Thread: Book X

[HolisticGod]

Bruce,

Replied to your second mail.

Forgot to say, Amina has roughly 220 men on the Golden Sun under her personal command. She's also Saul's second, and the two of them have roughly 1400 men present. She was born shipboard, off the coast of Sicily. That's about it, as far as the OOB goes. Though you might put "Bitch" under Notes.

Seer is Ancient. No one knows his actual age. He's the lookout and Master of the Sails, and he occupies a prominent unofficial place among the Red Hands.

Rat is in his mid thirties and Farooq is in his late fifties. The former is the Fatima's first mate and the latter is Captain of the Barbary blade. So 430 and 100 men, respectively. No need to add the others, at this point, and if it's any trouble don't bother with Rat and Farooq either.

EDIT: Ah, yes, and Rat's real name is Rashid.

For what it's worth, I've created a basic web page. Don't expect to be blown away, though.

It has the OOB and the Tactical Formation with characters listed under their respective commands. I'll update the OOB in a bit, making sure to add 'Bitch'.

Oh, look for the webpage in my signature.

Thats fine, just wanted to know when the commnader of my character usually post

As for now, when I get a chance, ill post Frederick introducing himself to somebody.

On another note, just to give a good visual of how Frederick looks, think Kurt Cobain I guess. Lets hope Frederick dont blow my brains out *traditional drum tune after humerous statement*

Bruce,

We'll see how long his gallantry holds out in the face of that. Though I must say, she's behaving better than one would expect. All that social grace and charm of a pirate not storming on a plunder, I suppose.

All,

The shamshirs of Saul's I mentioned are Persian swords. Curved like scimitars, but much longer and thinner. Difficult to wield, like many Eastern swords, but extremely deadly if mastered, particularly in both hands. They're double-bladed and excellent for thrusting.

There is an Arab version, but the Persians made them better, particularly the sturdy cross guard and more agile handle. Assume, of course, that he stole them-though he'll neither confirm nor deny.

I created a very open hook for somebody to interact with Frederick.

He's getting very lonely you know

It's a bit quiet tonight. Still, 1500 views in 3 days is pretty damned good. Hopefully someone will grab your hook. If not, I'll see what I can do.

HG, writing a counterpost.

 

[HolisticGod]

Awakened,

Hopefully posting will pick up a little tonight. If not, I'll send Raymond your way.

Didn't somebody ask him to play his lute, though? Seems like a hook.

EDIT: In fact, I know someone did. I think it was Amric or Vald. That's the reference I made to instruments striking up on the main deck.

EDIT EDIT: It was redwolf:

Another person passed by Ogedai. "Frederick!" He called out.

Frederick Khun von Screiber turned back on hearing his voice and his face turned wary when he noticed that it was his senior sergeant.

Ogedai stifled the grin that threatened to appear on his face," At ease, von Screiber. I am not going to punish you or anything. It's just that I noticed your playing the flute earlier today and I think it's not bad. I am just wondering if you will play the flute again this evening?"

EDIT EDIT EDIT: I'll have a post up with Glory, Gunshy and the Corsair Captains in a bit. I didn't miss it.

So sad, I have to move heaven and earth to even get a response for my taunting out of Hawk.

Ahh well, moving him along then. Maybe he'll even get into a serious discussion, or well maybe not.

 

[HolisticGod]

RJ,

Bah. Posted around my edit.

I'll throw the Corsair Captains into the mix. We can all taunt Hawk together.

Awakened,

Check out redwolf's last post. He left hook for you.

My counterpost to HG's has a Gunshy/Glory moment in it. Give me about 20-30 minutes to post it. I think you'll like the subtle hook.

All,
This post will contain some specific stuff which will set up the story advancement planned for the weekend.

Oof, and I've already answered Awakened's... I seem to have a habit of messing up hooks lately.

 

[HolisticGod]

Bruce,

Ah, I'll hold off with the Corsair captains, then.

Is this my cue to move ahead? Or should I hold off until tomorrow?

 

[unmerged(6528)]

Sounds good both LD.

I'm just needling Hawk anyway, heh. I probably won't get a post in til late tonight anyway. Tonight is pool/pizza/drinks night.

Though I'm sure Ill hit the forums and maybe post before I crash *shrug* maybe stay up late and plot some more with Val too... *nefarious laugh which is overwhelmed by a hacking cough*

As a note, well done HG with the corsairs. I can see you've obviously put alot of thought into them.

And LD, I'm liking our new moderately unsure David as Captain, its a change from the omnicsent, aloof, grim (though occasionally a sex fiend ) Robert Brandon.

Ah, you may be scooped. Hang on a sec while I post. There's lots in it for you.

 

[HolisticGod]

Bruce,

Ah, great post.

Let me shoot an e-mail to you right quick.

 

[Amric]

LD- Mario does drink. Just not to excess and he wouldn't take those two bottles of wine from King. Not a character trait of his is all.

EDit: Yes, I saw the hook for Andre...just haven't had time to do anything about it. Servers are slow and I am at work until 9 pm Indiana time. Plus I need to do something with Mario and his sergeants...<Rubs hands together>

Oh, OK. Changed. Your rant had me confused.

You're right about the servers. It tool me near a half-hour to post the damned thing.

 

[HolisticGod]

Bruce,

In your box.

I can have it done late tonight and wait until the party posting has mostly settled down, so you're free to advance the plot any time tomorrow. Or I can hold off, as much as I'm itching to follow up on your post.

Criminy. You run a few errands, have a few drinks and dinner, and suddenly everyone's a critic.

But that's OK. At least you lost the bet.

*cough* Again.
