The Return of the Entish Bowventurers - a Fourth Age Epilogue - DISCUSSION
Years have passed since we last encountered Merisuwyniel :Merisu: and her companions, and some (those few who even remember who they were and what I'm talking about) may have wondered what fate befell them in that interim. For those three or four readers, but mostly to indulge my own desire to revisit them, this RPG will check out their current location and status. All who posted on those 2 1/2 threads are welcome to post here.
Whether or not further adventures will follow these brief summaries is not yet known. For the demands of Life (TM) have overtaken them and their creators/authors. Nevertheless we should never say never (or less), and who knows what may yet happen. On this planning/discussion thread, I shall first sum up where we last saw them after the reunification of the Ent-that-was-rent... |
Merisuwyniel and her spouse, the love of her life, Gravendil (The Elf formerly Orc formerly known as Gravlox) have been granted the Realm of Topfloorien, since she is Saladriel's niece and the former ruler had no heirs (heirs, not hairs, silly!). Her request to Yawanna:

The ghosts of games past raise their ghoulish heads to see what has revived the Travestometer (TM):
"'The REB RPG's dead, Jim!" "No, no, it's not dead, it's restin'!" "It's not restin'! It's passed on! This RPG is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't pinned it to the forum it'd be pushing up the daisies! Its metabolic processes are now 'istory! It's off the twig! It's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-RPG!!" "Well, I'd better replace it, then... Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the forum, and we're right out of RPGs." |
There was another couple who had been a vital part of the He/She and Itship - whatever happened to Pimpiowyn, the Half-Halfling, and Vogonwë, The Half-Elf, you may ask? (No matter if you don't - I'm going to tell you anyway!) When we last saw them, they were newly wed by Manuël himself in Valleyum, and had requested the right to stay in the Blessed Lands of the Sür-Ferd-Ûds.

Esty - once you've gotten the players you want, just let me know & I'll move this thread to the Game Playing Forum.
And when you're ready, you can then open a new thread for the actual game in the Game Playing Forum. :cool: ~*~ Pio |
What has taken place in the kingdom of Grundor in the meantime? Orogarn Two, the only heir to the Lord Denimthor, Proctor of Grundor and Guardian of the Porcelain Throne of Minus Teeth, perished in the final battle of the Entish Bow in Valleyum. But Yawanna revealed the identity of the true king:

Another of the original Questers now resides in Minus Teeth - Chrysophylax, the Dragon. He is the proprieter of a gambling establ- um, of an entertainment center that, contrary to the usual terminology, owes little of its success to chance. He also attempts to emulate Merisuwyniel as a singer, alas, without her innate skill and its impact on the listeners. He would be willing to give up his independence temporarily to rejoin his friend Kuruharan on adventures, provided the profit was worthwhile.

Deaths there were to be mourned at the end of the Quest of the Entish Bow:
Orogarn Two perished at the hand (or rather, crowned head) of Mogûl Bildûr, and Merisuwyniel herself sang his dirge: Quote:

As to the whereabouts of the Dwarf Kuruharan, we know this:

And what happened to the title hero, you ask? The Ent-That-Was-Rent-But-Is-Now-Reunited had remained in Valleyum, for Yawanna had revealed to him a sapling of his line, and Deeproot (the short version of his true Entish name) wished to raise it to be a good Ent who would carry on his labours in the forests. Alas, it never occurred to him that the sapling might possibly not be an Ent after all...

Among the final companions of Merisuwyniel was also Gateskeeper, the technical expert wizard, and his recently acquired virtual-but-somehow-real sidekick Tara Craft. He had turned over a new leaf - or perhaps one should say he had downloaded a new program - and was looking forward to different, possibly even honest, ways to earn a living in Muddled-Mirth.

Remember Leninia, former player of the Entish Guitar and at home in the Marrow Bones Studio? After kind of reforming and joining the adventures, she remained in Valleyum following the final battle to prepare for a new profession. Vairsacë and Chanessa made her an offer she could have resisted, but it was certainly better than no prospects for the future at all. Besides, she had resolved never to say never...

Last but not least - well actually, he was least in height - comes Squire Windsor Gummidge, the reformed Hobbit formerly called Soregum. He was pledged to the custody of Gravendil, per decree of Mantoes:

As I am *always* late wherever I go, I just stumbled on this. Thanks for remembering ol' Gateskeeper, he was fun to write.
