Meanwhile another expedition was formed to reach Meribia, composed of tree trading vessels, lead by the Seeker, one of the greatest ships of Vassen, the fleet carried Trade Prince Marhil, the human leader of a powerful trading guild and the chosen ambassador, his half humite oracle Darven and a decent escort from the Bloodguard.
The fleet moved near to a Meribian port, using a non aggressive formation and waited to be intercepted by the dwarven marine...
A single ship came from port, moving close to the Free Nation vessel. As it came close, it hailed them, indicating that it was going to come along side.

The thread's gotten rather large, so it has to be closed to prevent it from self destructing. Feel free to restart it, but it should go in the play by post boards located here: http://forums.gleemax.com/forumdisplay.php?f=808

Of the two approaches to hobby games today, one is best defined as the realism-simulation school and the other as the game school. AD&D is assuredly an adherent of the latter school. It does not stress any realism (in the author's opinon an absurd effort at best considering the topic!).
It does little to attempt to simulate anything either. (AD&D) is first and foremost a game for the fun and enjoyment of those who seek the use of imagination and creativity....
In all cases, however, the reader should understand that AD&D is designed to be an amusing and diverting pastime, something which an fill a few hours or consume endless days, as the participants desire, but in no case something to be taken too seriously.
For fun, excitement and captivating fantasy, AD&D is unsurpassed.As a realistic simulation of things from the realm of make-believe or even as a reflection of midieval or ancient warfare or culture or society, it can be deemed only a dismal failure. Readers who seek the later must search elsewhere. - Gary Gygax. 1e DMG.
