[We've moved!]

We've moved!

[Lucy Pevensie]

So, everyone's still waiting for the Pevensies to make it to Aslan's How. Hopefully, we'll make it there soon, but as we are missing the boys, it might be a little while 'til we get there. 

In the meantime, we were thinking that the Narnians and Telmarines could have a battle/skirmish. Perhaps the Telmarines could hear that the Narnians have been weakened by the storm, and decide to attack or something.  We don't have a Miraz, but I could NP Miraz through Adimon (who's Miraz' Private Secretary), or perhaps Drinian could be sent to lead the battle.

Anyway, I just thought I'd put this out there, since I know you all are creative. What do you guys think? Should we have some sort of fighting between the Narnians and Telmarines?  Do you have any additional ideas for how we can do it?

[Lord Drinian]

I'll start an application for Edmund (unless you'd much prefer a Peter) soon, if that would help. I'd like to play him.

As for the fighting, I know that Drinian's personal plan is to *somehow* gain a private audience with Caspian without Miraz knowing (or at least knowing the matter of the meeting) or being torn apart by the Narnians for approaching the How (should he go as a service to Miraz).

My mind was toying with the idea of Drinian being sent over to negotiate freedom for Adimon (and really, to Miraz's mind, to take in how bad the situation was and to see if there were any weaknesses they could exploit). Miraz may figure that Caspian would not suspect foul play from Drinian. We  could do this (it would take more time -- which is both a pro and a con) and, if something goes wrong (or "right" to Miraz's mind), a battle could ensue as a result?

Anyhow. I think that that would be a good precursor to the battle (and how they would know about the sickness?).

[Lucy Pevensie]

Melissa - Both Edmund and Peter are crucial, so either is fine.  It would be great if you wanted to start an app!

Everyone - I'm off for a week on a mini road-trip thing (my friend and I are driving to my school, and making a couple of detours), so I won't be contributing much if anything 'til that's done. But continue brainstorming! The main thing is for those at Caspian's camp (and Miraz's, though there aren't too many there now) to have something to do while they wait for the Pevensies.  And even feel free to start the thread if you guys get it all settled and none of my charries are needed right away. I'll be back on the 12th!

[Prince Caspian]

I think the thing with Drinian sounds fine.

Anyone else with ideas?

[Senzi Naffis]

I believe that Misha has Adimon escaping the camp. But you'll have to talk with her about that as I am not entirely sure.

Other than that, everything sounds good!

[Lord Drinian]

Ah, good catch. I had not caught that the arrow delivery was a part of an effectual escape from the camp; I had been reading it as an "escape" (from pressures, from being indoors); I knew he eventually would . . .

But this could create an amusing situation in and of itself. As of right now, he's not yet at Miraz's camp and so Drinian still might be sent . . . only to find that the person he was supposed to negotiate for was in fact already gone. . .

Dunno. We don't have to do it. I know though that Drinian's going to do all in his power to talk to Caspian anyhow. (Whether or not this actually happens is another matter, but I don't think many people can stop Drinian from an attempt once he's set his mind out to do something.)

--Melissa

[Prince Caspian]

I think that it would be awesome if Drinian went looking to negotiate Adimon's freedom, only to discover that Adimon was already gone.

And as for me, I have no problem with him getting his audience with Caspian lol

[Myrrine Diodorus]

I just have to say... CARA!! :] Glad to see you back again! :]

And I think everything here sounds great, so I'm up to whatever... Wherever any of my charries can fit themselves in. :]

[Lucy Pevensie]

Yeah, I was planning on having Adimon escape, as I'm thinking he'll be more use elsewhere. I'll write that post sometime this week.

After I get Adimon out, Drinian can get over to talk to Caspian to negotiate for Adimon's release. Then something or another could lead to a battle (depending on how that interview goes). By that time, Adimon should be back at Miraz' camp (I'm thinking he might take a detour to the castle before then, as that would be the perfect way for him to regain his memory).

Or as an alternate plan, I can have Adimon go straight to Miraz' camp (having regained his memory somewhere on the way), and he can be the one to tell Miraz of the weaknesses in Caspian's camp.  Miraz can then decide to attack right away. As for Drinian, he can either be sent to lead the army (and he could maybe find some way to talk to Caspian) or we can say that he hasn't gotten to the front yet (which would give him time to take place in the ladies' tea party, maybe?). If he hasn't gotten there yet, maybe he could be sent after the battle to talk to Caspian (to try to end the war on favorable terms for the Telmarines or something).

Just throwing ideas out there!

[Lucy Pevensie]

Ok, so both Drinian and Swiftshadow's groups are on their way now. How much do both groups want to RP before they meet up?

Once they meet up, Swiftshadow will probably return to the Narnian camp with the Telmarines (once she finds out that she can't dissuade Drinian from his mission even though Adimon is gone), as she doesn't trust them. The other Narnians can go back with her, go on ahead to warn Caspian of Drinian's approach, or continue on searching for Adimon.

Speaking of the last option, while I don't intend on getting Adimon recaptured, I'm totally fine with him running into someone, resulting in a chase/scuffle/conversation. I've nixed the idea of him going to the castle (it'll take too long, and there's no one there now other than NPCs that he'd really talk to anyway), so he's just going to go straight to Miraz' camp, regaining his memory along the way.

Also, do we have a reason for a battle to break out yet? 

[Lord Drinian]

They should meet up soon, I think. I might play Thal for a bit to balance out the personalities, here, because I think an (appearing) true Telmarine who isn't quite as charismatic as the other three might cause a bit more tension. . .

But I think we need to see whether or not Gavin wants to join in before Drin and Dharr head off. . .

And I think that the intel that Miraz gains from the visit will be reason enough. If he knows they are hurting and Caspian is sick . . . they'll have a battle. Miraz doesn't really NEED a reason. Though, Miraz could be really evil and put Drinian in quite the political conundrum.

Caspian has decided to congregate his people on Bernal land (Drinian's duchy). This would be "trespassing." UNLESS, of course, Drinian wants to say that he invited them to stay there. . .

But I don't want it to necessarily be a Drinian-centric plot, but that would certainly be a move Miraz would/could pull. But again, I say that if he ends up finding out that they're all sick--or Caspian is weak and unable to fight--he'd move. Quickly.

Also, for imprisoning Adimon. . . Not that Miraz was that personally hurt by the move, but he could pretend to be.

ALSO, if Gavin doesn't want to go to the Narnian camp, he could always stay behind and be the first person that Adimon meets up. And maybe in a conversation with him, he in fact regains his memory?

[Lucy Pevensie]

With the group Swiftshadow is leading,  I think we're waiting on at least reply for Arina (and Swiftshadow will likely reply again after that).  But then we're pretty much ready whenever to meet up with your group (Draco, Emmy, and Liz - correct me if I'm wrong!). So just let us know when you're ready, and we can start a new thread!

As for the battle, all of what you listed sounds good! We'll just play, and I'm sure a battle will result.

And yeah, as I said before, if Gavin or anyone else wants to run into Adimon, just let me know!

[Senzi Naffis]

I think I would like to have Gavin go to the Narnian camp with Drinian, just to make things interseting for him. And I'm sorry for the lack of replies. I've been super busy lately.

[Damien Arrowing]

This is gonna be fun! Damien's been itching for some action, lol. 

Unfortunately, I do not have any suggestions for you, so I'll just run away now, heehee. 

[Senzi Naffis]

For the tracking down a prisoner thread, maybe we could have someone come in as a Telmarine soldier?

[Lucy Pevensie]

Hm... we could do that.  Like a "false alarm" type thing. Or it'd be interesting to meet up with Drinian's group, and have a prisoner in tow who wasn't the expected Adimon. 

I'm not sure we have any Telmarines who could fill that role, but we could always NPC it. You want to have Senzi see someone, since he's next to post?

[Senzi Naffis]

That works for me. ^_^

[Lord Sephen De La Braose]

I've been talking a lot to Melissa, Sephen will prolly be in on a lot of this; he's supplying the Narnians with rations and whatnot, but he's stretched very thin keeping up his facade for Miraz supplying HIM as well.

He'd be delivering medicine, but nowhere near fast enough to get the army back up on its feet anytime soon.

Um.... other than that, he'd just join the Narnians once they led an attack, or if Miraz found out Sephen was double-crossing him and he had to flee with his brother Killian.

[Senzi Naffis]

I've posted in tracking down a prisoner and if the whole sentry thing isn't quiet right, I'd be happy to change it.

[Lord Killian De La Braose]

I just added Sephen's brother Killian, maybe he could get inadvertently involved?
