Wulfham--My save is filled!!

Farael · 03-07-2006, 09:32 PM

Sorry friends, just in case you are waiting for me to go on, don't. I'll just put up a save and then I'll post Osmod giving directions to search for ropes and such. If this happens again (me disapearing) just move on, feel free to leave a save up if you think I'll need it but don't let me hold you back.

Eowyn Skywalker · 03-08-2006, 09:26 PM

Um... two things...

We could conveniently say Eostre brought some rope and forgot about it... she seems logical enough to have brought some, at any rate. And, two... a possible solution for getting across, if no one thought about it... at least, to get a rope across. Both of us girls have bows. It might be possible to shoot a line across and into a tree. If we're searching the town for rope, we could probably come up with a few lines long enough to reach across and string a line across that way... then one of the men could cross.

Of course, it'd have to work by narratorial convenience, as the chances might be a bit slim. But it's just a thought.

Farael · 03-08-2006, 09:29 PM

Sorry Eowyn but I don't think it's possible to get an arrow across the river carrying a strong enough rope to support a man. Even if the arrow managed to get across rather than being pulled down by the weight of the rope, there would be no-one on the other side to secure it. It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure it's very plausible.

Naria · 03-09-2006, 12:10 AM

Wow, looks like the Wulfham group has come to a stand-still...hmmm or are we just waiting for the Bregoware group to catch up.

Naria

Actually, you could carry on from Valier's post - #166.

Folwren can always move her SAVE post as needed. She has limited access to the internet this week.

I'm waiting for Tevildo -- Brand is talking to Tevildo's carry along character.

And yes, we are sort of slowing down for a while - if we go any further south, the Bregos will be too far behind us.

Valier · 03-09-2006, 10:05 AM

Telvido: Not to bug you but, we still need you to be Dorran as well!! Naria's last post does not really leave her open to speak again. Please I need Telvido or Folwren to post, so I can continue with my posts.

Thanks!

Folwren · 03-09-2006, 03:53 PM

Okay, I've written a post. It is not where my save was. I wrote it where my character is now with Incana, Dorran, and Vaenosa. She's really said nothing at all, but she has finally gotten some of her wits back together. You needn't be frightened - she won't be bursting into tears with you. She can't, evidently, poor thing.

I'll be back tomorrow! Yehaw.

Naria · 03-09-2006, 04:54 PM

Thanks Tevildo and Folwren, it really helps!!

I can't help feeling sorry for poor Athwen, my heart actually ached for her when I read your last post Folwren *sniff*

Great job!! I'll get mine up asap.

Eowyn Skywalker · 03-09-2006, 06:16 PM

Just trying to come up with ideas, considering I'm not doing anything... -_- I didn't bother plugging in a save because there were, like, three Bregoware saves in a row... and I actually can't get online any earlier in the day than I'm posting now. Patience! Worry not, I'll get her a post up!

Undómë · 03-10-2006, 02:52 AM

Here's what needs to happen now:

The pulley rope on the eastern side of the river needs to be attached to the pulley. Rædwald will then tie his horse to the western ferry dock and pole the ferry-barge back across the river as all those left on the eastern shore use the pulley contraption to get the barge back to the eastern shore.

Can someone please write that - that the ferry-barge gets safely to where we all are at the eastern ferry dock.

Then, either that same writer can write a short paragraph on how we all load on and get the the other side . . . or I can do that if you wish . . .

Arry · 03-10-2006, 03:25 AM

Bregos

Yes - please take advantage of Rædwald's having got over to the other side with the rope and get your group across the river . . .

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

Tevildo

Leod and Brand have done a little search of his section of the village and have now come to where Brand's three companions are staring at Athwen. I sort of carried your character along . . . and if you need anything changed at all please let me know . . .

I might have some time writing this weekend. Let's just make deals about who writes and what.

How about, if I write Raedwald safely to the eastside: depicting it from Sythric's point of view? Undómë might make a post for Raedwald in the ferry as the others pull him back, or something - and then to dry his clothes in the fire & eating?

We should eat - one post, two posts? And then someone writes us over the river? If everyone makes even one post this weekend, we'll be over the river on Sunday (RL).

Other ideas? F.ex. should we haste and just run for it? I wouldn't like to just rush over, for we have discussed or revealed our thoughts quite little lately...

Thanks! I actually feel sorry for her myself. . .

I've put up another post. Athwen is rather heart broken, but she's doing her best to rally her spirits and not look it. I think it won't be hard convincing her to ride with you, especially since Leod is going with you.

Tevildo, I've replied to your PM, and I've mentioned that they know each other in the post. However, it might seem like my PM and my post contradict each other - them not being too close or not knowing each other too well, especially with Athwens apparent delight seeing him (for a second). But. . . you must understand, it's got to be a relief to see a familiar face, even if it is of someone that she doesn't know well.

If I need to change anything, anyone who thinks so, please let me know.

-- Folwren

Edit: Ha. It just occured to me that Athwen hasn't told her name. . . hope that's not too troublesome.

Undómë · 03-10-2006, 10:06 AM

Actually - I'd prefer to write for Rædwald . . .

So, let me make the post that gets him and the barge back to shore

Then, some one please get us all onto the barge and moving across the river

Why don't we do it both?

I'll write about what happens at the east side ie. how we get Raed. from there, and you write, how he felt and what he did? (That kind of was my intention in my earlier mail - I wasn't in anyhow suggesting to "write Raedwald"!!! Sorry if I expressed myself poorly)
