I am editing my last post to bring the Rohan group forward another day. So Aedegard's group (as of the edit) is on Dec. 21. Somebody can bring them downriver another 50 miles to another campsite and we'll make it Dec 22, and hten they'll be even! Wohoo!

Ravion's group is on Dec 22. Erundil comes tomorrow.

I'll update the timeline too.

(edit: both done)

lmp, I moved my last post to its rightful place after your post. Flows much more smoothly, I think.

We could each do a couple of sections. Ædegard could do the alliterative stuff. Amroth could add a few nightmares. Liornung could pull it all together and weave it into a whole.

Hey everyone!

I got back this morning from my vacationing in lovely Québec. I'll get a post up sometime today between practice, sleeping, and unpacking.

P.S. Québec really is a wonderful place, you know.

Well, Helen, I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about Secgrof's little idea. If all the members of the company pitch in and help Liornung out a little, perhaps he can sing it at the end of the game when he is once again sitting by the fire of 'the Inn.'

A quick question: would you prefer the ballad to be rhyme or no rhyme? It would prove more of a challenge to make it all rhyme, of course, but I think it would be amazingly fun to do.

Looking forward to your post, Aylwen! I'm glad to hear you had a lovely trip, and it's good to know that you came home safely.

Rhyme or No Rhyme

I think it would be fun to shoot for a blend of alliteration and rhyme; some sections rhyming (sung by Liornung, if he likes, or Amroth, Erebemlin, Taitheneb) and some sections alliterative, sung by those Rohirric types.

We can see what happens. It'll be partly driven by inspiration, after all...
