Well, if you have magic, why would you die? Gods don't die. Witches don't die on their own. You have to burn them at a stake.  Well, maybe we will never get there. But I will finish the story. Maybe I will write it as a fic as an analogy to what I am going to do. I know I will cause a lot of pain, just like Bryn's death will cause a lot of pain. I am sorry. I love you all. But this is my fight. My battle. I thank you for sharing this little enjoyment with me. Maybe it will be years for my time to come, but when it does, I want you to know how much you meant to me. Stories are not just peices of fiction. Stories, even fiction ones, exhibit the author's thoughts. |

That's a deep thought, but why can't the crew as a GROUP take care of Rumina if it goes in that direction?
Even if Bryn is the conduit, the crew should have a say...they have more reason to want her dead than Bryn does even if Bryn feels the obligation to do it herself.
At least from what I can see, what I remember of the show, and what I can remember from the character bios.

I agree with Rongar here. Bryn might once feel like it's her battle ... but she'll be making the same mistake as Maeve. Both cannot expect their friends and family (I regard the crew as their family) to simply stand by. They are bound to each other by friendship and/or love ... so the sorceress' battle will also be the guy's battle.  Anyway. Make a fic out of it, if you like. I would love to read it. And if the play should take us to such an ending then we will have to face that fate, but till then: let it flow. And about your rather personal words ... Just take care, Firouz. In whatever you think you have to do in this life. .... Uh, I wouldn't think sorcerers/sorceresses are immortal. Dinar eventually died naturally as well. Their lifes might be prolongued by their magic maybe, but being immortal? They are no Gods after all. |

Nope, Not Gods, but they do seem to have a connection to them! Remember the Siren and when Poseidon seemed to share "something" with Maeve as he went beneath the waves?? ;D

((Thinks to self: death is creepy...)) I'm not afraid of it! I"ve stred it too many times in the face to fear it like some people, and death is the end to us all so.......
Granted, but you will be destined to an eternity of loneliness in the afterlife.
I wish I could I could do acrobats like Sinbad.

Both cannot expect their friends and family (I regard the crew as their family) to simply stand by. They are bound to each other by friendship and/or love ... so the sorceress' battle will also be the guy's battle. So you are going to die with me!  Like one big, happy family. Well, it is your choice to join me. Just know that you are facing death, although I would prefer to do it on my own. And about Dinar, he died because his magic was slowly drained out of him. If Rumina (in my story) completely lost her powers, she also would die. But alas, she is still alive. Therefore, she still has powers, though severly weakened and almost useless. Oops, I said too much. 
Granted, but you will have sore muscles. (I think I pulled mine. ) I wish I could magically make CO2 disappear instead of sticking with science. |

I would agree with Doubar and Rongar there, because this is just one more thing where rpgs don´t work that way. Even though the player (or the character) can be determined to do something things can change drastically. I remember how I created my mutant character on another board as a character who was on the edge of joining a group of evil mutants for revenge. I wanted her to become an evil character, but I never managed to make her that, because she joined, but her instincts kicked in. In the end she "forced me" to leave the Brotherhood again. In that regard I had little power over her.
And also, we can not plan the game that far, not to mention that it would disregard the other players´ wishes. I am fine with Bryn maybe later thinking it´s that way, but you can´t plan that far ahead, especially since something as drastic as a character´s death can not be planned like that.

In the end, someone has to die. Nope, not necessarily. |

Granted! But you would mess up with it - making litarelly all CO2 dissappear and thus causing all plants on earth to die. (what a horrifying scenario). I wish we'll have a biiiiig "welcome-back" party on the ship when Maeve returns! ;D
Mala: Hm, but I don't know if that was something special about Maeve (I mean who knows: she might have encountered Poseidon before) or really a general thing. I for once can't really imagine that all who posess magic are being related to the Gods.  alex: No, Dinar hasn't been drained of his magic externally. He was old and using that much magic as the prince required him to do exhausted him - just like running a marathon would exhaust most old people. True, if a magician is being drained of his magic they will most likely die from it; but still I would think they naturally die when being old as well. And why wouldn't you? Well, thing is I guess, that people have a different comprehension of what magic is and what it has an influence on. And, well, I wasn't exactly talking about the crew dying all together but rather about the fact that, maybe, if they fight together they might win without losing anyone in the process. You ever thought about that possibility? I guess this is something you and the character Maeve might yet have to learn: that together people are stronger than alone and that together one might solve problems way easier and without needing to sacrifice anything. Plus: agrees with Sinbad. ;D |

So granted. ;D But the crew would have to organise party stuff such as food, drinks, decoration and one of these limbo dance things so Maeve can dance the limbo. |

I didn't mean that she was related or even had met him before, but that maybe in the mystical world, such beings have a connection to nature, and in turn a slight connection to those who use magic. And quite possibily is was only that Maeve was smug and happy that she was proven right in the end!  alex, I'm not talking about the RP Maeve, Rumina, and Bryn and their powers but I was thinking about the possibility of Ed's explanation of magic on the show. I don't remember where it was, but I seem to remember reading a copied and pasted exerpt from an interview on an E-paper that said something about him having the magicians connected to an element of some sort....I could be mistaken by that though. @sinbad, Wish away captain!! |

Oh, the element stuff, again. Well, playing captain until that captain comes back from playing the pirate , I will that my crew would stop teasing me and Maeve. |

Mala: Oh, I see.  But that still doesn't make them be immortal, or does it? alex: Hehe, well, as we said before: there's reason to think of the whole elemental stuff. And if Rongar's right and Naha himself thought about something like that, we needn't wonder why fans have the impression that there's a link between nature/the elements and the figures. And: stop teasing Sinbad and Maeve? *beams* Never! ;D ;D ;D .... Or at least not aslong as they still deny what is between them.
