The Fall of the North Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Kransha · 04-01-2005, 04:24 PM

Hello, all. Just checking in after a bit here to make sure all is going well. I do think it is time for another helpful prod in the proper direction. Since Hirvegil is sitting out, the plot has to be moved at a reasonable pace by the other characters, and I think that the troll battle should begin this weekend at the latest. It can last a bit, of course, but I had hoped it would already be underway. Osse, if you still have that post you mentioned in the works, I hope it can be placed up soon, unless I have somehow overlooked it.

This season brings a bit of a detriment to the corpus of the Downs; not an irreversible impediment, just a slow season. Still, I must push a little here, poke a little there to keep everything moving. Luckily, I am continually gladdened by the high quality of everyone's posts. Congrats, keep it up...

Hi, I thing the elves can take over from here now.

Here is a post from Amanaduial who is having computer problems: (And please disregard the '"sainted' title she has attached to my name.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Kransha, elves, Dunedain, and assorted well-meaningly challenged beings,

At present my computer has, how you say...thrown a wobbly - ie. I am unable, at present, to get onto the barrowdowns at all, and so can't check up on the RPG. Unfortunately I hit another rock in that I have the emails of none of you - yaysies! - and so am mildly stuck as to what to do. Posting this message is the sweet saint Piosenniel (and if she removes this part of the message I shall come and haunt her, I'm not just saying it for the good of my health!) who has been giving me updates, but as she has kindly agreed to keep me updated on the current subplot of the Green Dragon and on Shadow of the West, my Rohan RPG....well, this is by way of taking off one load from her wings. Sorry, I mean shoulders.

I recieve some notifications for this RPG, but hotmail has a natural inclination, it would appear, for filing half the barrowdowns messages in junk - or at least, it has done in the past. Maybe no posts have yet been made (which is perhaps a good and bad thing), but either way, I have as yet recieved no notifications from the RPG or discussion thread (ie. since my last post made on the RPG). My email is

Aman left her email addy here, but I'd feel safer if you PM'd me and I'll send it to you -- Piosenniel****

I apologise for being such a burden, but if...if you could possibly send me a copy of a post that you make. I'm sorry! I feel a right nuisance (even if that may not be the correct spelling) but due to my browser's paddy, I am, as you say, in the mud (thank you, Encaitare!).

It would be immeasurably appreciated if you could do this - it should only be temporary, until I make up with my computer - he's terribly proud, you know, refuses to reconsile an arguement despite all pleas, bribes, threats and resorts to physical violence. If you have any other reason to get in touch with me, obviously PM ain't so much of a runner right now, so email is all good, and I am also on MSN with the same address (and AIM, but I feel that I'm definitely plugging now...*sigh* Amanaduial on AIM anyway...)

Thank you very much for your patience, and I hope to be back asap

Yours,
- Amanaduial

Post was still in the works prior to exam week.. sorry, i haven't had time to finish it yet. Now exams are over, i'll have it up soon!

Saurreg · 04-10-2005, 07:11 AM

The government wants Saurreg to put on his helmet and grab a rifle so he won't be around for the next two weeks.

Osse · 04-12-2005, 07:48 AM

I need clarification: are Faerim and Erenor going off apart from the main group containing Carthor's family, Belegorn and the soldiery, or just taking the lead?

my post has been written, but i don't want it to clash with anyone else's.

Lalwendë · 04-12-2005, 08:37 AM

I've been discussing with Nuranar some ways of getting our characters involved so I've posted to that effect with a mishap for my character (Lissi will have something to do here...). But I have noticed that Osse has a post coming along about finding a storeroom so I just wanted to say that either:

- my post might need to be moved to before that one, and if so, please let me know if I have to do anything. I don't mind if it does have to be moved, though!

or

- seeing as the search party had halted, this might be that they had found the storeroom, and so my post would then 'fit' after Osse's. But it might mean that their discovery would be interrupted by some frantic screaming!

I'm fine either way, unless someone has a better idea!
