(Beg. Setting) Corsair ship on the way to City of Corsairs. The heroes have been captured by black Numenoreans.
(Char. Profile) Name: Corwin
Age: Unknown (doesn't make it an issue)
Gender: Male
Race: Unknown (doesn't make an issue of it)
History: Wandered the world as a homeless vagabond for many years. He is an expert at the Mandola and is a skilled swordsman.
Weapon: Longsword
Appearence: Straw blonde hair with grey eyes. Wears a green-grey cloak with brown traveler's clothing. Wears a longsword at his belt.
Corwin's eyes swam before his bleary eyes. His head was wet and aching. He rememberd a sword diving for his head and then blackness. Wasn't I at Dol Amroth in Southern Gondor? His memory cleared and he remembered the raid by the Black Numenoreans. Accurses upon their kind! Corwin felt a pain in the back of his head as a crew member of the vessel decided to put him out again.

Name: Arva Age: Unknown Gender: Female Race: Half-elven (has chosen to eventually sail for the Grey Havens, but not yet) History: Grew up in Rohan, is an expert rider. When her best friend died to save her, she began to wander all Middle-Earth, the memories were too painful. Plays the harp. Clothes: Short skirt (loose for movement, brown leather), cropped peasant blouse (white), fur-edged cloak (brown), lace-up leather boots (knee-high) Weapons: Sword, daggers, hidden knives (v. flat hard to detect), Galadhrim bow and arrows, glaive. Appearence: Long reddish-gold hair, slightly wavy, lightly tanned skin, lavender eyes, endomorphic (small but powerful), slender, muscular. Arva moaned softly as she took stock of her injuries- a large lump on the back of her skull, bruises all over her ribs, a few slashes on her legs. Then a club crashed down on her skull once more and she fell into the merciful darkness.

Name: Laowyn Age: Early twenties Gender: Female Race: Human History: A Lady of Rohan whose father fought in many great wars. He died when she was young but that only served to inspire her to follow in his footsteps and travel the world. She has a good eye with a bow and is a well trained horse-rider Weapons: Longbow, dagger Appearance: Corn-coloured hair secured in a plait, brown eyes and pale skin. Wears the traditional garb of a rider of Rohan
A sharp kick to her ribs woke Laowyn with a painful start. Her body ached all over and dots danced in front of her eyes as she tried desperately to sit up but her exhausted frame refused to obey. She tasted blood and winced slightly as she fell back onto her bruised legs. It was easier to sleep, she decided, settling back down. Sleep, and forget the pain.

The wooden deck of the ship rocked back and forth, tossing Corwin's head side to side. His eyes flickered open. To his left, a female redhead lay against the planks. Her hands were bound and her head was bleeding. Several gruff men walked down the narrow walkway, doing various jobs aboard the craft. Corwin's hand immedietely went to his sword, only to find his scabbard empty and his hands bound as well. Accurses! Corwin sat back against the planks and sought an answer to his predicament.

((OOC-LOL))
Elenanna Lothenedhel groaned as she woke up. She saw blackness and tried to move her arms. She found them tied behind her back. She turned her head, and felt the cloth across her eyes move. She thought, How did I get myself into this posistion?

The blindfolded woman to his right shifted, moving the blingfold upon her face. "Stay still." He urged. "We must not let them know we are awake." Corwin gestured to the others held captive," We must wait until we are all awake until we can form a plan to escape. So stay still I say."

Name: Earenion
Age: 467
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Elven (Sindarian-Dunedain)
History: Served the Lord of Mirkwood Thranduil and close friends with Legolas. His father fell in love with a woman from the Dunedain. His father stayed there until he perished protecting the lands of his wife. Earenion's mother was pregnant and she fled to the realm of Thranduil. There she lived the rest of her life and cared for Earenion for as long as she lived. Taken in by Thranduil, Earenion grew up with Legolas competing at everything such as archery, swordsmanship, and the arts. Now Earenion follows the footsteps of his near-brother.
Weapon: Yew Longbow, Elven Blade
Appearence: Long black hair, Grey cloak, grey vest, green eyes. Stands about 5'7.
Earenion awoke with his hands and legs binded. He remembered that he was with Rangers of Ithilien. He had passed Minas Tirith and when he had heard that the fellowhip were coming, he had decided to help out as long as he was there. He traveled with Faramir's rangers and was captured. His companions were all slaughtered except for Faramir. He had risked his life to allow the captain of Gondor to get away. The club that knocked him out came from behind and then, darkness. He was on a ship, probably corsair ships as he knew that it wasn't a ship of Gondor and he could see about 500 ships anchored in the harbor. He looked to his right and saw other captives. Earenion watched as they began to stir. "Shhh don't speak. They mustn't know we've awoken. Pass the word onto the others." Earenion told him. He nodded his head and complied. Earenion then judged the situation. He could see corsairs fighting over the captives equipment. His prized longbow and elven blade sat almost within reach. However with his hands bound he could not do anything. Plus they were outnumbered 100 to 1. He moved a little bit to explain the situation to the rising prisoners.

Corwin nodded his head in the direction of Laowyn after checking that the crew were busy at work in another part of the ship. "Her. One of the Rohirrim if I'm not mistaken." He whispered. He thought for a second before continuing. "I've been watching the movements of the crew, changing of the shifts and such. By my count, there are almost fifty aboard this ship. That may be too much to handle.Especially with us unarmed and such. Hmmm... Mayhaps we should wait until these brigands take us to land." He smiled, "For tis easier to run with dirt beneath your feet than with water." The pain of his head wound came back upon him and he groaned. "d**nable wounds. I wish I had my sword about now." He whispered. He glanced in the direction of the Corsairs dicing over their posessions. He noticed the man on his far right was awake. He nodded to him, changing his mind about the sudden situation. He mouthed, We can attempt to take them by suprise to Earenion. He began to struggle at his bonds, making sure to keep the noise down.

Earenion nodded and too began to loosen the bonds binding him. These corsairs sure didn't know how to tie knots very well. Soon Earenion had untied the knots and wrapped them loosely around his wrists. He looked at Corwin. He too had his binds around his wrists. Corwin was mouthing at the others to loosen the bonds. Earenion then thought, if they could commandeer one ship... it would be easier to escape on this boat and return then to try to flee on an island or peninsula home to their enemy. By now all the captives had awoke and were looking about with that same fire in their eyes as Corwin. Tell the new awakeners to loosen their bonds. He mouthed to Corwin. Earenion knew they wanted back at these scum that had taken them captive. Soon after he could see that the captives were too fighting thier bonds. He began to mouth the plan to Corwin to commandeer the ship and asked when the next shift change was. At this time Earenion wanted to strike and perhaps commandeer the ship before anyone knew. The sun was going down and dusk was rolling over the ships. Perfect, some luck after all as Earenion smiled in delight.
