Outracing the Flames Discussion Thread

[Farael]

Eowyn, I'm sorry if I used your character a bit, but I needed to chomp a lot of time in one post and it would have not worked if EVERYTHING had been Osmod's ramblings and second-thoughts. If you can think of a better way for me to phrase Eostre's request, please let me know. I think of all the characters she is the most likely to make such statement. Unless I'm reading her completely wrong, Meghan will not do it and I'm not sure I get a read on Fionn yet.

I'll try to limit using other characters in the future. For further reference, Osmod can be 'borrowed' if needed be just as long as
a) Whoever borrows him does not go too deeply into his thoughts and reasoning
b) He does not say anything that would be out of character and most importantly,
c) The borrower ought to be willing to change/delete Osmod's part in the post if I think it's not quite right.

Point B is a little complicated so point C is most important. If you are ok with that then I'm ok with you using Osmod (note, I often use "you" as a general "you all" even right after being talking to a specific someone. just clarifying as the list was a case of a 'general you')

Another thing we could do if time allows is to put the possible post on this thread first and see how we work it all together. After all, this is a 'team' effort, right?

Still Eowyn, if you think I should change it, let me know. I could make it an unidentified grumble or maybe someone else will volunteer for it. I wasn't sure if I should have used Eostre as I don't want her to be "the bad guy" of the group but at that moment and given that I did not have time to discuss it with everyone, she seemed the best fit.

Wulfhamers: I have decided that Vaenosa should take first watch(She wouldn't have it anyother way would she?) Oh and the salve is supposed to be horseradish or something like it! Oh if someone would approach Vaenosa soon to get her to wake them next would be good. I will wait till Telvido does his nightly post then I will post the first watch. I have an idea I would like to try, to open Vaenosa up a little bit. Let me know if this is ok!

Farael: No, she's the cynic of a group, so remarking "I thought you promised us a fire, at any rate" or something like that's fairly IC. But, yes, I agree. Meghan's too... at the moment, too naive and nice to be pushy (that's how Eostre reads her), and Fionn's too "happy days slashed with evil angst etc so let's just be Luke Skywalker instead!". If you know what I mean. If you want to plug in a bit of an edit and indicate that she thought that no one else would've even considered that they needed a fire and dinner before they could have breakfast, curse it all... or something like that... just to explain why she spoke up.

Thank you, Arry. I knew it was late fall, but I didn't know what timezone you were basing it on... heh. I wanted a Terran view for translation.

Eowyn,
While you are right and I should add what you say, my post is still focused on Osmod. I'm not sure I could show any insight into Eostre's thoughts in the middle of it with any sort of credibility. Why don't you add it into the last post you wrote?

Edit: and sorry, I'm not a big fan of star wars, I have no idea what you just said about FIonn

[Eowyn Skywalker]

Farael,

Oh, that's fine. I'm not demanding an edit... trust me. Don't worry about it. If this wasn't just a one-thread RPG, I'd have a fit and insist on an edit, but as it's plot based I'll tolerate bunnying. And basically I was implying that Fionn seems to be a bit of a typical hero type... a bit naive, etc.

* Riders of Wulfham *

Through the good graces of your game founder, there is now a 120 lb, angry and hungry female cougar stalking your horses.

You're trespassing in her range and to be honest she doesn't like two-leggeds on general purposes.

The female of the species . . . 'has a distinct scream that has been described as "nerve-wracking, demoniac, terror-striking, a trilling wail" '.

Good luck!

[Arry]

OK - I've gotten us on our way to encountering what's attacking the camp.

She's a large, determined predator . . . let's start the battle against her . . . but please, no one kill her off all in one post.

Give Envinyatar another chance to write for her.

There is a chance that there will be injuries to at least one of the horses and possibly to the characters. If you are willing to have your horse or characters hurt in some way - please go ahead and write that at some point in one of the battle posts.
