I don't have time to add anything myself, so could someone write Mardil into the day just a tad? You don't have to- just if you get the chance.

If you choose to, have Mardil go off by himself to his hut and stay there all day.

Perhaps one of the members of the party, especially Sai or Alli (since Mardil's been around them the most), or maybe both together, could drop by briefly to see what I'm up to (Alli by herself would be less likely seeing as she's not feeling terribly cozy with Mardil right now). When whoever shows up, have Mardil say some polite version of "go away".

Have your character not obey Mardil's request though, and instead continue trying to talk him into coming out and joining everyone else (because they're having a fun little cookout or something). Have Mardil get annoyed and say something like "I'm trying to get some work done in here, child, so run along and play," and finally after further prodding, "If I have to tell you to leave me alone one more time I'm going to drag you into the woods and tie you to a tree!"

Not that Mardil really would do this- he would just really like to, and if you continue to push his buttons he will indeed do something, but not so extreme. For instance, he might knick you with one of his knives that has been coated in a strong sleep draught. But I'm hoping none of you push Mardil that far.

After your encounter with him, your character is welcome to speculate on why in the world Mardil is wanting to be left alone and seems to be so irritable.

When Mardil comes out late in the day to grab some food, the only person who manages to get a word out of him is Fléin, who for a short time discusses military tactics with Mardil.

Fléin's a little involved in his own side-plot now (I know I dragged Alli in, but I'll try to keep it more to myself cos Alli already has one...) so I'm not sure if we can have that little chat, tp. Perhaps if the day lasts a while, we could.

By the way, Illamatar is Quenya for The Llama Father. Cool, eh?

Very tidy, TGWBS.

Anything you need Alli to do, feel free. Just... you know... if it's too outrageous, run it by me first. You know I'll probably say yes.

More outrageous than being possessed by Illamatar, pretending to be a lesbian or having close relations with Khamul?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-22-2006, 10:45 AM

Exactly.

Hope I didn't throw a curveball on any plans you might have with that post of mine.

Tradition, after all.
