Hello Dream-Team,

I am not quite sure whether my old laptop committed suicide (unlikely) or was murdered (likely) but in either case it is dead, and I now salute you from the keyboard of my "new" PC. Golly, it's fast!! It's also very stripped down. Send me email or PMs only til further notice!

I have a few things to check out, and then I'll be back with a new game post.

(Where to, Iluvatar?)

Grace and peace, --mark12_30

Rohan team-- we are camped at the Field of Celebrant. That was a battle between Rohan and the Wainriders. Room for some ethnic conflict, if you like!

Hey! Sorry I wasn't around today....was having a blast at a Renaissance Faire.

But anyway, what is this song? Grasping for the moon....I'm lost...or confused...or just not thinking straight...take your pick.

And before I forget, I'm going to be leaving on June 9 and I'm not sure how long I'll be. I won't have much internet access, so I'll be scarce.

Cheers!
Imladris

The Moon Song...

I haven't written it yet. But (if I do) it will probably compare heartache to the pull of the tide, caused by the love of a shining one who is (or seems!) far out of reach. It will be short; maybe two brief verses, or one long verse, or some such.

EDIT: I was thinking something like this:

Afar I plead from deep and hollow.
Shimmer, glisten, and gaze on me,
For as you rise, I must follow;
O, beckon me.

How you rule me! Though ripple and foam
Heed every wind, yet I, heart-deep
Remain your thrall; heart-hope, heart-home,
Heart-doom you keep.

(The last line of each verse ought to be indented... sigh.)

How one does fuss at these things...

Yikes...please accept my apology for such a long absence. I'm going through a real life transition, so I'm still figuring out time and such. Anyway, I tried to slip some ethnic conflict in there (taking cues from Helen's earlier suggestion). Let me know if any of it needs editing.

We do seem to have slowed down! Alak, the answers to Amroth's questions can all be found on the reference page. See my sig and click on the tapestry link....

Gondor? What's going on in Anorien? Mellonin is trying NOT to let Ravion into her heart. What's Ravion's move?

Amroth would insist that the Rohan group follow the river, so although it's tempting to shortcut across the bends, he at least will not do so. Even considering that, the two groups could meet up in maybe five or six days. WOW!!! Much faster than I had anticipated. Hey! You guys plot-twisted my plan!

You rule.

Orual, how fast can your ranger cut cross-country and meet Ravion and talk about the (perfectly insane and raving) blacksmith? Mellonin goes moonstruck herself...

Orual · 06-03-2004, 09:03 PM

Ravion is stubbornly unaware of Mellonin's struggles...although he isn't a complete numbskull, so he will figure it out eventually. He has his own rather complex feelings toward Mellonin, though he hasn't figured out what they are yet.

As for Erundil, he'd be cutting across country as fast as his horse would take him to give Ravion the news, and considering that he's alone, he'd probably be reaching them pretty soon. Shall I post for him?
