Eorling Mead Hall Planning/Discussion Thread

[Firefoot]

All right. I'll put up a post sometime tonight or tomorrow.

[Thinlómien]

1) Elempí (you seem to hang around here on Sundays, so I'll ask you), what are the duties and the position of the hostess? (my image about this is quite vague)

2) How long have Modtryth, Stigend and Cnebba been in the Mead Hall? Can anyone (Noggie? LMP?) produce some quite reliable estimation or should I do some research and calculate?

Welcoming guests. Determining whether they're for food & drink or more than that; if the guests are high ranking, keeping track of which rooms are availalable and which are not. Directing the daily help as to the cleaning, scrubbing, laundering, bedding chores for the day (outside the kitchen which is Frodides' kingdom). Don't feel like you have to get too organized about this. It's rpg, not real life.

If M, S, and C arrived AFTER Linduial was rescued, then it has been about two weeks; if they came BEFORE Linduial was captured, it has been about five weeks.

Hi all, I'm sorry but I actually didn't think of this when lmp asked me to take over for a bit ... I'm going to be in Finland for a week! I'll be back on Monday 2nd though and everything looks to be running fine so it should be ok.

If there are any problems anyone has, I'll check the thread tomorrow morning and try to deal with them then. Otherwise, see you in a week!

[Mithalwen]

Tara - my next post will be tomorrow now ..I started a new work assignment at short notice today and that has drained my energy - I want my first post to be up to snuff.

Do I have to post a bio here?

[Folwren]

Mith,

I don't believe it's required. No one else has done a bio. So just bring your character on in.

[Thinlómien]

What happened to Cnebba and Garmund?

Cel? Noggie?
I think they're sent again to the sheep-shearer today, but how do you two think or feel about this?

[littlemanpoet]

I've linked to an updated list of characters. I try to revise it as characters come and go. Let me know if there are any inaccuracies with it.

Until dusk sets in, I'll be writing only for Garreth and Harreld, the Smith brothers, since my other (too) many characters are away on holiday, as it were.

Is there a general wish to move this day along? Or not?

[Folwren]

Now that Mith's entered in the scene with my character and Firefoot's and Tara's, I don't know what I want.

I've pretty much accomplished what I need to with Javan for today, so I'm really ready to move on whenever.

[Taralphiel]

Do you have anything to put in, Fire? It seems it'd be awkward for Lys to answer first, considering he does not have any say on whether Elfthain could be of help.

If you think I should go first, just say so.

- Tara

[Lhunardawen]

I'm here. Summer school's starting in a week, and when it does I won't have plenty of time to spend online. Anyone who's unfortunate enough to be doing things/conversing with Ginna is likely to have to always wait. Sorry about that.

I'll be following your lead for now, Kath and Lommy.

[littlemanpoet]

Tara, you could have Lys ignore the direct point of Elfthain's question and Lys could go make acquaintance, if that's in character. Maybe Lys perceives something other than the obvious before everybody's eyes. Just a thought. Take it or leave it.

[littlemanpoet]

And now for a little excitement.....

.....post's up. I expect Thornden to be involved, of course, but others such as Garstan and Stigend and Nain, etc., as you deem appropriate for your characters.

[Folwren]

*CRASH! BANG!* And so something begins.

Of course Thornden's going to be involved! And Javan, if he's allowed. I'll try to post this evening.

-- Folwren

[Celuien]

Excitement!

I'll try to get Garstan involved, but it might not happen until Tuesday. I feel so guilty for being away lately.

[Folwren]

Alright, a post placed.

Firefoot, I left it open for you to take it from there.
Shoudn't hte general's horse be exempted from the 'every horse saddled' order?

And Elempi, I also left it open for you. I sincerely hope this won't turn into a battle of wills between Falco and Thornden again. I thought of the scene in the ruins as I wrote him giving his orders. Of course, it would make it interesting indeed if Falco were to disregard Thornden's words....

I sort of moved Falco in the post I just made, but I did allude to a possible shouting match between the two just in case anyone wanted to write one. If either of you do want me to cut that out though it's fine.
