[Note for writers]

All of these possibilities are very open for development. Feel free to write whatever you like. I may eventually get around to developing this side of the story, but my current focus is on developing the "Knock" side of the story.

I had in mind to have most of these options lead to eventual capture and return to master, but I don't really mind if a few strands cut loose and go in an altogether different direction.

The world is vaguely classical Mediterranean. I'm intentionally vague on time and place. Think roughly Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Pompeii sort of setting. If you want to be more specific be my guest. I'm not that concerned about slight anachronisms. Electricity and automobiles would be very out of place, but I don't see any reason to do heavy research into costume or furniture. Use whatever feels natural to you.

Happy writing.
