Admiral Lofton walked the length of his ship, The Drakesfire, making sure everything was ready. The warship had command of this hastily prepared operation and was backed by nineteen other Weissland ships, one another warship, the rest lighter frigates. Or at least that was the idea, as gathering so many ships in such a short time was just not possible. Currently he had only five ships including his own to make up this blockade. It could be hours before even one other ship would arrive, and likely a day or two before more got into position. As the Admiral neared the prow of his ship he looked off to port, in the direction of Odelen. They were too far out to see much beyond the smudge of land but it was there. The blockade was arranged with his ship here due east of the port city, and two south and the last two north. Any ships leaving the port would have a fight on their hands, but the mage lord had not been able to provide any details as to what they were likely to face. The whole thing was a bit of a rush and not to Lofton's liking. They did not know how many ships or of what kind the enemy had, nor which if any ships had fled the port during the war and gone elsewhere. It was a bit of a mess but nothing the Navy could not handle. Lofton took one glance at the carved figurehead of a drake spewing flame and turned on his heel. He walked back towards the Aftcastle, his hands clasped behind his back. ((BTW, is the sea off the east coast of Weissland part of the Sea of Strength? Anyone know? EDITED: Still not sure about the final composition, the most likely number to change will be the nineteen.)) Edited by Gorfang, Sep 24 2011, 08:52 PM.

((I wouldn't think so. Might need a new name. I will say, though; if you guys really want to RP a naval battle here then I'll go with it, but the idea that an entire navy blockade would be ready, assembled and in place given the amount of time that has passed in Aelendak and Odelen is completely ludicrous. I think that you want to destroy my ships, just as I want my ships to escape. I think we have both taken steps to ensure that we get what we want, but I haven't drastically altered what is realistically possible in the amount of time that has passed.)) |

((Well it is perhaps a little fast but I don't think it's as bad as you claim. The Weissland Navy is the biggest Navy in the known world, and I think it's foolish to think they wouldn't be patrolling all around their coast anyway. These aren't ships which have travelled very far, they've just congregated. But nobody has bothered to rp much about the Navy, nobody has said that they don't patrol their coastline, or that they don't have ships in areas other than the one naval battle which happened with the Dark Elf fleet. EDIT: Would you feel better about this if I changed it so only a few of the ships are actually in place yet, like say seven of them?)) Edited by Gorfang, Aug 31 2011, 02:52 PM.

((I would feel better if the number was reduced, yes, but I'd feel better still if even less or none than what you suggest would be in place. The idea of Navy ships being in such strong numbers off the east coast would be affected by a few things, I feel; - All the cities between Ataya and Asulien, including the ones on the east coast, were occupied or destroyed during Drathmor's invasion so I don't know how ships off the east coast would be able to sustain themselves. I don't have the map handy, but as far as I remember Aelendak and Odelen seem like they'd be the main ports for restocking, repairing etc for ships in this area, and they clearly are in no position to do so and haven't been for a long time. - As far as Weissland knows, there is nothing to the east so it doesn't make much sense to have this area so strongly patrolled. - I strongly doubt that, even with the largest Navy in the known world, there would be twenty ships within two hours travel of Odelen, and then you need to account for the time it takes to relay the orders and co-ordinate the movements of every ship. Even with mages (and I also don't think there'd be mages on every ship) it would take a long time to organise a blockade. A day, at the very, very least. - A very large portion of the Navy is busy blockading Rathor. Now, this point might be irrelevant in which case I apologise, but I'm sure Lathaon said that somewhere in the RP. But, it might have just been in an MSN conversation between the two of us in which case obviously no one could be expected to know that. But, I am pretty sure it was said in the RP. - Next two points are really just personal notes. Everything that has happened with this plot since the battle at the bridges has been controlled by the Weissland side, and it has all gone in favour of Weissland. That was all fine by me because it was all plausible, but I really don't think this blockade is plausible at all. I'd like my necromancer's soldiers to be able to escape. The RP is supposed to be about give-and-take, and since nothing has gone my way since I started this character I don't think it's much to ask. - I don't think you would have had Boralays set up a blockade if I hadn't posted that they were thinking about using the ships, which puts me between a rock and a hard place; if I don't post that's what he is planning then technically he never planned it, and if I do then this happens. This bit isn't exactly based on facts or anything, it's just kinda annoying. I know I'm guilty of it too, because I moved my escape plans forward after you posted about the blockade, but for lack of a more adult expression; you started it ![]() Right, that's me said my piece. Sorry if it came across rant-ish, but I think I got all my points covered.)) |

((Well now I'm really going to have to say my piece. 1. This is where I think you've gone too far Chadden. You never rped much of that during the war and you must realise that if they did occupy or destroy every city between Ataya and Asulien that you've essentially crippled any chance of Weissland doing anything in the rp. That's over a dozen cities which are just not viable. That means that apart from Aldron's army we should have restricted our rping completely to Asulien and the west of Weissland. That means that we never went to Ledek to find that criminal, that Crint was destroyed (which completely fucks up the only story I'm writing set after the rp), all the cities in Sirth and Cirulienalysai since most are south of Asulien are gone. As far as I'm aware you only rped briefly Aelendak (Odelen topic was created later but that as well), burning Endral (which was already empty due to Ariakas' plot), and Fargon apart from the obvious Raquil and Ataya. I just wonder if Hotshot is aware that all of these cities are gone and how that would have changed his rping of Aldron's forces going to Ataya and so on. Would they not have stopped at other cities further north if they had been occupied by enemies? Or at least commented on all the ruined cities. And to be honest I'm not going to agree with this sort of mass destruction that was never truly rped by anyone but yourself, and even then only partly. I'm just going to disregard it because I think if this had been widely known when most other people were still here rping there would have been too much disaggreement for you to do it. As for sustaining themselves, I myself did not realise the sort of destruction you had done, seemingly without telling anyone. They would have had other cities and towns, and surely the Navy would have it's own naval bases rather than relying purely on civilian ports. But it's kind of a hollow point since you wiped everything out almost behind our backs. 2. You might think it's strongly patrolled but I don't. Even if Weissland doesn't know of anything to the east that doesn't mean that ships won't be there. The Navy has to patrol any area where ships are travelling about and landing on Weissland shores, and since there are ports on the east coast they would be there. Also, presumably the Defiled Kingdom has an east coast, I'd imagine the Navy has to be wary of potential attacks from there since attacking from the east or west coast is the easiest way around the Great Wall (at least before the war). I don't think wood is a big resource in the DK but I'd imagine they could use necromancy to craft ships out of bone or something. 3. Well, he made it sound like a large group of ships but I don't know if he said in the RP that it was a large portion of the Navy itself. You'd have to check the topic. You and Lathaon were the only ones involved in that and it never finished. The rest of the rping in Weissland has surely moved on weeks if not longer since then, so it's kind of a shroedinger's deal. We don't know how much of the Navy was there, if they're still there compared to when we are at this part of the rp, whether they'd return to other areas after that. I can see your point, this could be the main thing but we also can't do much about it. 4. While I agree with you over the give and take of the rp I don't just look at the give and take of one plotline. Look at all the times I've bent over backwards for you and others in the rp. I'm always inviting people to take part in plots I've got going, always willing to work with people for their plots, giving suggestions and ideas Hell, I once gave you permission to kill Nathaniel and if you'd done it I would have gone with it. I realise you said you wanted Daemmion to be the one that lasted the longest but that doesn't mean we have to not rp our characters/side. Really the problem was you put him in a bad position. If Daemmion had been the one in Dunane it would have worked better for you because clearly Castoden and Aldron were more intent on dealing with the guy pottering around near the former capital than someone hidden away fighting the Dwarves. I mean, what do you expect us to do? Let you run around doing what you want without attempting to stop you? That's the point though, we are attempting, it doesn't mean we'll be successful. I had planned to pm you to discuss the blockade but hadn't gotten around to it before you posted this. My initial idea was that these ships are far enough out that you'd only have to deal with one group based on which direction you went, and during the course of that the Weisslanders would destroy maybe one of your ships while losing two or three in return due to your magic. This was when I thought Daemmion was going on the ships but it could have worked with just regular necromancers. But it seems you don't want to negotiate or compromise, which is sort of the point. You're talking about give and take, but only if it benefits what you want to do. Trust me I know what it's like when you have a character and plot and other people stop you doing what you want to do, but that's part of the rp, other people are involved which is why I roll with it. I really thought we were past this shit, there's only a handful of us left and as far as I'm concerned the rp should be coming to a close after these major plots resolve. Where is the impetus to start more plots after all of this if we can't even finish these? I'm sorry if your plot is being derailed by this, but you could have done things sooner to change it. You could have talked to Hotshot and convinced him to direct Aldron towards helping the Dwarves way back before he went to Ataya. I'm sure if you'd discussed Daemmion being the one to last the longest and be the main threat like you did with me he would have done that. Now your argument seems to revolve around us not trying and letting you win because you put yourself in a bad position that you knew Hotshot was going to take. 5. I wouldn't have no, but as far as I know you never mentioned Odelen was a port city until you mentioned your escape ships. Without the map it was a bit difficult for me to remember where one city was situated. It might seem like using player knowledge to metagame, but really Boralays is a smart man and he's travelled extensively around Weissland, he would know it's a port and given what Daemmion said about getting his forces out of Odelen before Weissland could retake it, it seems logical that Boralays would realise the only way to do so would be by sea. I even built up to it by mentioning in the meeting topic Boralays thinking about how Daemmion couldn't teleport an army away. So really we're both guilty here, but it's all Lathaon's fault for losing the map. And remember you've done it quite a bit here as well as me, what with Daemmion instantly sensing there would be a trap just because Boralays figured the evil necromancer would be setting one. I could have complained when you overcame that ambush so easily and left in the same post, denying Hotshot or myself the chance to rp further. But I didn't because I thought it worked well. Really the give and take isn't as one sided as you imagine, even if your character is losing. As I've already mentioned, you put yourself in a poor position, you can't exactly fault me for that. Also, it might look to us that your character is losing but as far as my characters, and possibly Hotshot's (can't say for him), are concerned they're only winning by inches. Every time they take losses, they gain little, and the main target (Daemmion) escapes clean. I don't think they believe they are winning much more than you believe Daemmion is losing. If you really don't want to rp this then I'll happily scrub this idea and just have it mentioned later that the ships couldn't get into position soon enough. It just seems that we could have negotiated and rped something which would have been a fun diversion from the usual.)) |

((I think a lot of the problem right now was caused by miscommunication. I know for one that Chad and I regularly chat on Facebook extensively about the roleplay, which I think leaves Gorfang at a disadvantage in terms of being able to plan and communicate intentions and whatnot. For the thing about the cities being destroyed and whatnot, I have always been under the assumption that the south was pretty devastated, but a lot of cities in the middle and north of the country were just passed by because they had been evacuated and why would Drathmor's forces waste time and effort occupying cities that have no defenders or population? Doing so would be poor strategic decision-making and I think Drathmor was smarter than that ![]() As for the part about Daemmion being in a bad position, I agree that his strategic position is a poor one. Chad and I had also talked about the fact that James would be open to Daemmion's surrender as a sort of working-imprisonment under certain conditions (again on Facebook) and that we would just wait and see what happened and roll with it. Gorfang roleplay Boralays the way Boralays would've reacted, and Chad roleplayed Daemmion the way Daemmion would've reacted. I think the major problem is just that people wanted certain things to happen and the communication was too late. At this point, I don't think Daemmion is too much of a threat. His forces are meager, his tactical and strategic position are entirely negative, and while he maintains a threat to the region because of his power and whatnot, I'm not too concerned about him getting away, given what Chad has told me (again over Facebook). Like I said, the only real problem here is communication I think, so we should find a way to rectify that so that things like this don't happen in the future.)) |

((Right, really not looking to start an argument but there were a few things you posted Gorfang that I'd like to address. I'll keep the points numbered for ease. 1. Right, you make a good point here and I apologise. As the main player behind the Defiled Kingdom, I find it difficult to remember who knows what, what has been written, and what is just rattling around inside my head. I honestly thought that both of you had full knowledge of Drathmor occupying and destroying the cities in his path. To make it clear though; I was not talking about mass destruction, occupation would be more likely, and occupied cities would have been liberated when Drathmor died and his necromancers fled/were cut down, as the undead would crumble. This would leave refugees free to return home. So I don't think it would have crippled Weissland at all. But, I wasn't clear, and clearly neither you nor Hotshot knew that this was what I had intended. A big issue, as Hotshot rightly said, is bad communication and in this instance it was solely on my part. So, again, I am sorry. 2. This point I don't think we could take any further without creating a topic to discuss the Navy. I think twenty is a lot of ships, you do not. Without a proper discussion on the size of the Navy, I don't see how we could go anywhere with this. 3. Again, I don't think we could move forward much with this point without discussing the Navy as a whole. 4. Now here I think your argument, at parts, falters. Over the RP as a whole, I have done just as much as you to incorporate others into my own plots and help them with theirs. I have invited you to take part in a lot of plots, and I have helped you with your own. I am not saying that you haven't, I am saying that you are not the only one who strives to help others and 'bend over backwards' during the RP. The example you give of allowing me to kill Nathaniel if I wanted to is, in my opinion, a very weak example. That was your plot line that you asked me to help you with, and I did. As for putting Daemmion in a bad position. Yes, he has ended up in a bad position, but I picked his location because I thought it would be the last place the Weissland forces would reclaim. I put the other two closer to Asulien so that Castoden and his army would go after them first. I'm not saying that you shouldn't RP your side, but I'm also saying that I don't think you can blame me for my character being in a bad position. On the information I had, I thought Ataya etc would be the best place for him to exist as the longest-lasting of the necromancers. (Going to get confusing, so I'll split the 4th point.) 4.1. This next bit can also be blamed on bad communication, but this time I think it was by both of us. Given the way the first post was done, I assumed that the blockade would be a singular enemy. How did you expect me to know that they could get away with only fighting one group? The bad communication was on my part, because I should have PM'd you before jumping to conclusions, but also on your part because it would have been better to PM me about the way the naval battle was going to work either before or right after you made the topic. 4.2. Now when you start saying that I am clearly unwilling to negotiate or compromise. This is completely unfair, and honestly I find it quite offensive. It is entirely not the case that I am only interested in 'give or take' when it benefits me. It would be easy to draw that conclusion, since this is the first discussion we have had on the matter in quite some times. Without other examples to draw from, you cannot possibly know that, so now it is you who is jumping to conclusions. Please, do not call me selfish. That is one thing I definitely am not. I understand, just as much as you do, that it is frustrating to have plans changed because of what other people put into the RP, and I do roll with it, in fact this is the first time I've really had a problem with anything (in recent years). I've gone along with everything else that happened. Strongest example I've got would be Mordain getting exiled. I never planned for that at all, and it completely destroyed everything I wanted to do with him, but I rolled with it and built a new plot from the ground up. And I did discuss with Hotshot that Daemmion was to be the longest-surviving necromancer, and I rolled with everything that he, and you, have put into place. But I am not annoyed by what has happened up until this point. I am only annoyed at what is happening now. I am not asking to win. If I was asking you to let me win, then I would be asking you to take all of your forces out of Aelendak and Ataya and let me walk all over it. In no sense of the word am I trying to win, I am giving up everything Daemmion has taken without a fight, I am surrendering for god's sake. I just don't want to see all of his forces destroyed. Now, you have said that that is not what you intended to happen and I am happy about that, but as I have said I could not be expected to know that from your opening post. If you want a naval battle where one or two of my ships sink, then that is fine with me. 5. I'd agree that without the map it is difficult to know where each city is located, you have a point. I managed to remember where it was, but I suppose I had more reason to know where it was, so for that I am sorry. It was wrong of me to assume that you would know that. And again, you make a good point; I did do the exact same thing with Daemmion predicting a trap. I failed to draw the comparison between the two situations and judged you harshly on that front, so for that I am sorry. As for Daemmion leaving in the one post. At the time, I really felt that I had no choice and I suppose I could have handled it better. But, I did that because, just as you feel you could have complained about him leaving, I felt I could have complained about getting captured. I think something like that should be under the same rules as 'you cannot kill or seriously injure another character without the players permission'. Getting captured seems, to me, like just as much of a development as that. I didn't see another way out and I panicked, but maybe I could have handled it better. Maybe the give and take isn't as one sided as I've been seeing it as, but perhaps you could understand that it will always be harder for the losing side to see their small victories compared to the winning side's big victories? 6. I'd like to make one final point that ties in with why I felt so annoyed by the appearance of the blockade. You spoke about plots falling apart and the like because of what other people have done. That applies here, but in a stronger sense still. What really got to me is that I am trying to gradually transform Daemmion into a 'good' character, but I'm finding my options for doing that very limited. I had to rethink destroying the city and killing the population because that would obviously forever brand him as a villain, so I thought my best course of action was to move all the orcs out of the city. When I read your blockade post I assumed that you meant to sink all of his ships, and if this happened then I would have been pushed to make Daemmion a man who despises Weissland and wants revenge, and I really didn't want to do that. Now I could have checked with you before drawing that conclusion, but as I've said I think we're both guilty of bad communication on that point. I'm not trying to say any of this is your fault, just trying to show why I got annoyed in the first place. Ok. Lastly, I'll say this. Maybe I read it wrong, but there seemed to be quite a lot of passion in what you typed in the last post, which makes me think I offended you. If I did then I am truly sorry and please believe me; that was not my intention, not at all. I am trying to resolve this. If a naval battle where only one or two of my ships go down is what you were looking for then I think that's something I could definitely get behind. Also; once this is resolved, I think it would be a good idea to start a topic where we can write down everything that happened to Weissland during the war, so that we all have an equal point of reference.)) |

((Well I pretty much agree with most of what you've posted. As for the poor communication on my part, I simply didn't have time to PM you the other day when I made the post. Given the slower pace of the rp since most people left I didn't think it would be a problem to just PM you today. I am sorry about that, it would have been better to PM you first before posting but I had the post in my head about the character and ship and only had time to do one thing. About the Nathaniel example, I think it's a damn good one, to be honest. It might have been my plot at that point, but it grew out of one of Ariakas' plots and I gave a huge amount of power to other people for that plot. It wasn't just giving you the option of killing Nathaniel, I was essentially allowing you to remove my only main character at that point. At that time I didn't have the wealth of characters I have now to fall back on, the Ahm-Sheran section hadn't really kicked off, I wasn't rping in the White Realm or the Golden Empire, so I would have been starting from scratch with a new character, a pretty major thing in my opinion. While I realise we've all done this sort of thing for each other, my point was the amount of co-operation we've had should have prompted you to discuss it with me rather than trying to start a fight over it.
That doesn't look like someone who wants to negotiate or compromise. I suggested something quite reduced and you didn't even want that. I saw that as your first sentence, so can you really blame me for taking it the wrong way? As for passion, no, not really. I just wanted to get my point of view across clearly since you had expanded quite a bit on what was going on. The only thing I can think of showing passion in that post was being pissed off about you potentially ruining Crint and forcing me to heavily modify my final story, it came out of left field for me and I didn't want to have to do that to the story I'd been writing. Since that story would wrap up all the loose ends of Nathaniel Drakkon's character the thought of Crint having been destroyed in the war without it even being mentioned would have crippled that story. As for anything else, I was simply addressing the points you brought up, you know I love to argue. As for a point of reference, yes that would be good. There were a lot of things which happened during the war and aftermath, I'm sure none of us can remember everything especially if we weren't actively involved in it. Anyway, going to watch Supernatural in a couple of minutes, but I'll be back in an hour or so if there is more to discuss.)) |

((Well, I really wasn't trying to start a fight, rather just raise an issue. But, I can see how it could come across that way. When I posted that, I still didn't know that you were only looking for a small battle. Before that I did say that I'd agree to what you suggested, but I guess I was still just annoyed at the situation I thought I was being forced in to. But what you say about co-operation is true. I did assume the worst, and I shouldn't have done that. The reference topic could go in the For Honour And Glory forum? I think one on the Navy (maybe the army as a whole), one on the events of the war and the aftermath, and maybe one on the strength of other forces within Weissland? I'm also working on some info that I hope to have up soon about the remaining forces within the Defiled Kingdom. Also; I just checked the map again and it wasn't working, but I was able to download it. Seems to work fine. Can just drag it around as usual.)) |

"Stand against me if you must, for of course you will. Conflict is just another part of this flawed reality. You need to cling to your concepts and purposes, your feeble honour and glory. None of it serves any purpose in the end. And the end draws close." - Krodalis Thaendil. "It really is amazing; she killed Kelan Wealer, not that I am complaining, but then the order welcomed her as their new leader. It makes one wonder if I were to ram a blade down her throat, would the monks then follow my commands?" - Mordain Thaendil. One of the Last Guardians. Suck it. | |

--Enters from Odelon-- Alistaire stood at the front of his ship, sailing between the rest. In the distance he could make out crude shapes, though they were quickly gaining definition as his own ships neared. It could be pirates, he thought. But that was wishful thinking. Far more likely, they were Weissland warships. He would need to fight through. "Be ready for combat." he said to the orc captain near him. "I'll do what I can, but we must get as many ships through as possible." |

Admiral Lofton had been called back on deck. There was a signal from the Swift, one of the frigates to the north of Odelon. Ships had been sighted leaving the port, numbers currently unknown. Lofton said to his signaller "Send back the message to hold position and engage only when targets present themselves properly. Then send a message to the Eagle-wing to the south. I want them to advance, close the net." The sailor nodded in understanding. It would take several minutes to successfully relay those messages to the other ships of the blockade. Until then Lofton could only wait and watch. |
