Save filled. Thorn, your turn. At least I managed to mess up Jord's skirt!

Save filled. Ouch, that was hard. :p

Yes, it didn't look easy. It would have been impossible for me. I can't write verse. Good job. :)

My save is filled as well.

What needs to happen now? Who is going to find Khandr's body?

I am not sure what is happening next. Someone in the hunt could post... Someone could find Khandr's body, but I don't know who is going to do that - I believe Lalaith's and Nogrod's character are on their way to find Lachrandir, so they're not available. Unless Thorn finds him.

Well we could find Khandr after going to Lachrandir. I suppose.
Am I on next btw?

If you wish to be. :)

Thorn is moving away from Khandr's body. He will not find it.

How about Briga finding him? Wasn't Khandr killed quite near his residence?

Lalaith please do not hesitate making the two find the elves or at least the Ulfings... I wouldn't like to post two times in a row for them.

If you Lalaith are not going to make the two meet some hunters pretty soon (I've been waiting for quite a month now) - or if you Ulfings will not post to see the two of us I'll make a post about which I will will not take responsibility of... But let's say I will kill at leat one of the central characters which according to the rules are dispendable (not written by anyone in X weeks) and will not hesitate to do that to someone else as well.

Now where are you?

How drastic post do I need to make before you continue?

Nogrod, you are superb. I'd love to see a main character killed off....to a certain extent - if only becasue I'd never seen it done before. lol!

Okay, seriously...Elempi said he was going to post for Ulfast a few days ago. That would be more than nice. I'd love a reaction from my last post.

I am considering what to do with Ulwarth. Unfortunately, my characters are close together, so I can't really write all that much without cutting out other players.

But, yes, as Nogrod said, we do need to be getting on.

Thanks for the kick in the rear, Noggie. :) It's way too late and I'm out of gas for this day (which actually ended 30 minutes ago) :rolleyes: I'll post to this rpg tomorrow.

There are different ways of kick-starting things indeed... :D

Oh I do like a forceful man!

Sorry, I have been incredibly busy. I will post something this weekend. It probably won't be very good, but it will get us (F and E) to the elves.

Elempi, I think you made a typo or sommit...

What did you mean really?

NO kidding, Elempi, what did you really mean? :p Ah, Ulwarth, actually. I'll go change it. (Elempi slaps himself on the forehead and tips over) CRASH!!!!! (oops)

*Folwren tiptoes around the table to look down at him.* Are you entirely well, old chap?

Good! If it's Ulwarth, I should have something interesting to write. :)

Elempi lifts his head and looks up at Foley. "Oh, I'm fine. Just you go knock yourself out writing a post (after a manner of speaking). :p

I eagerly awayt. ;) (yes I know the spelling's wrong but I like it somehow)

Knock myself out? No thanks. I see what that can do to a person. ;)

I'll write a post tomorrow morning if I don't get 'round to it tonight after the movie. Mom and Pop went out to watch the Super Bowl, so my younger siblings and I are going to eat pizza and watch Star Wars III. Harrah!

Right, I've got to rewrite my post a bit as we've already been brought almost to the presence of the elf 'imself. Back tomorrow...

Lalaith, I can edit if it helps you. It's not like my stuff's granite and can't be changed.

I should tell everyone that I'm going to be gone from Sunday the 10 to Sunday the 17, that's all week next week. Carry my charaters if necessarily.

That´s kind of you to offer elempi but not necessary, its much better that you moved the story on as you did.

Abject apologies for the appallingly tardy post.
It's up now, and if it's any consolation, I'm around most of this week. I can therefore be slightly less crap than I have been, in moving the story along, if anyone else is around too.

Good to see this thing moving forwards Lalaith!

I made a short post as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the Ulfing lords are indeed around and thence the situation is quite awkward for Embla and Fastarr... If I'm mistaken I will edit my post accordingly.

Wow! What a position of power Lachrandir finds himself in! I shall post up shortly. Which way to go? Which way to go?......

Posting for Folwren: I really wont be getting back till Tuesday, so continue carrying my character if necessary.

At least, that is what I assume Folwren would write, if she were here...

Yes, I would like for Briga to find poor Khandr. She would, of course, arrange to have his body brought back to the house. Additionally, since she fears for her own life and that of the other Borrim, Briga would surely hope to convey the news to Nogrod rather than to those engaged in the hunt. Is there some way she could come barging into your dinner party conveying this information? Of course, we wouldn't want to do this until your own affairs and conversation are sufficiently wrapped up.

Would this work?

If so, I will put up a post where she finds his body and has it brought back to the house but will wait to come barging in to the dinner party.

You won't find me or my character Fastarr from the dinner party at Dag's house... :D

But more seriously she might take the servants Hugo and Grogr with her I suppose - or at least make sure they take care of the body or something? Well, depending on how she wishes to act to be sure...

Depending on how things go with Lachrandir and the Ulflings, Embla and Fastarr might want to find out what happened to Khandr, or they might in fact need to clear the hell out.

Hi! I've returned. Thanks, Fin, for letting people know when I'd be back.

Lalaith may be right - clearing out pretty quick might be a good idea. I was thinking while reading the posts that it might not be a good idea for Uldor or any of his brothers to hear. On the other hand, it makes it very interestig if they do hear, but it puts Nogrod's and Lalaith's characters into a lot of danger, methinks.

I've no idea when I'll get around to posting.

-- Folwren

Noggie, do you want us to go with Lachrandir, and which of us should post?

I think that would be reasonable - that they go with him I mean. If you have time please do post as I'm not able to do it in a few days time anyway.

May I propose a plot twist?
 

Here's the idea. Because Lachrandir can do osanwë, he is going to believe Nogrod's and Lalaith's characters. Then when Thorn comes and tells him the same thing, only with more details, namely about Jord/Thuringwethil and her ties to Morgoth Bauglir, well the jig is up, isn't it? We can't have Lachrandir go back and tell Caranthir the wrong thing, now, can we? So instead, Jord/Thuringwethil realizes that something did not go as she wished since Khandr did not die in complete despair; she knows some intervention occurred, but she does not know what or how or where from. Can she still turn herself into some other creature, like a bat? If so, this will be easier. She turns herself, and flies back toward Khandr's lodgings, and senses the flight of Fastarr and Embla, and gives chase. She bypasses Uldor and brother, and reaches Lachrandir, Fastarr and Embla, and finds Thorn with them, telling Lachrandir everything, and he believes. Jord must therefore fix things. She wrests Fastarr's sword, murders Lachrandir and Thorn, and shoos the two humans away, setting up the frame. She then meets up with Uldor and Ulfast separately (each unaware of the other) and they both find the bodies and Fastarr's sword, and they accuse the Borrim of treachery and murder. That leaves it to Tathren to return to Caranthir with the news of Lachrandir's death, the treachery of the Borrim, and the resolute loyaly of the Ulfings.

What do you think?

Okay, you're probably wondering why I want to kill off both of my characters. It's because I'm going to leave the Barrowdowns; not because of anything wrong, it's just time. But I want to see all of my commitments through, including this one. Let me know.

I am content. As long as I get to kill people. :)

It makes sense. I wanted Uldor to kill him, but I guess he can't, if he wants to try to frame somebody else. Bummer. He has perfect reason to, now.

No, no, it looks good, Elempi. *sigh* If it's absolutely necessary. Can you write Tathren all the way out of the city?

Once Lachrandir is gone and the Borrim have separated from the Ulfings, we should travel on swiftly to the battle and end it. Hopefully before June...before my schedule goes whacko and I cease to be around so much during camp.

Now, I believe hte Borrim were supposed to still fight on the elves and men's side? If Tathren goes bearing tales of treachery, will that allow the history to remain in tact? I can't look anything up tonight, so this'll take a little bit of research, but we should be able to twist somethings to make it work out.

That shouldn't be so hard, Foley. Fastarr and Embla can flee to some other Elven group beside Caranthir. With what Elven group did the Borrim fight?

I thought this morning that Uldor could still have Thorn killed. If Thorn comes to Lachrandir, it's not absolutely out of the question that he could be caught by one of Brodda's or Uldor's henchmen. Then he could be brought to Uldor, as Uldor wished earlier, and from there, things would progress quickly and end, undoubtedly, in Thorn's termination. :eek:

Can we do that? Thuringwethil can have Lachrandir (presumabely, she doesn't know about Thorn), and Uldor, suspecting Thorn from when he first contacted Khandir, can deal with that old man.

Makes sense to me. :)

And you grin about it. Oh! The morbidness of all this is almost scary. (Is morbidness even a word? I doubt it.)
