Esty,

I will fill in my response to you later today.

*********************************************

Betrothal Party: The Minas Tirith/Dol Amroth women decide to strike:

Finduilas makes an impassioned speech (her one and only!)

Dryea blunders yet again, supporting the accusation.

Palace guards try to arrest Dryea and her servants, but fail.

Dryea, plus servants, flees to Umbar.

Althea stays in Gondor.

********************************************

A word of warning: Please have all saves for Act III up and filled in by next Tuesday evening.

Once the present saves on the board are filled in, the one piece of action that still needs to be finished from Act III is "Dryea openly humiliates her sister." That needs to be done by Tuesday evening, September 2 so we can move on to Act IV.

(Sophia - I know you have a special situation. Let me know if you're still having access problems.)

We will then have till September 11 to get through everything in Act IV and till September 20 for Act V. (Phew!)

I have revised the outline yet again and pushed the dates foward slightly. The game was slated to end on September 18 (which had been extended from earlier). The ending date is now September 20.

Next Tuesday night, I will get us into Act IV by doing a narrative post that has Eckthelion discover a mole in his entourage. We should then go immediately into the "Dryea blunders" scene.

To help keep us on track in these final three weeks, I will routinely be sending out private messages to remind folk to post when we come to the point in the outline when their character must act. If you find yourself facing problems, let me know as soon as possible so we can figure out what to do.

This has been a long RPG (at least for the Shire) with many different characters. That's why it's so difficult to move forward quickly. I really do appreciate your help in trying to wrap things up on time and staying on top of things. Get in touch with me by pm or on the thread if there are any problems.
