Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread

[Eönwë]

Fair enough Elempi.
I'll probably post my character's entry today or tomorrow.

[Lhunardawen]

It's either I've imagined Scarburg wrong, or I've overestimated Ginna's lack of sense of direction. (But believe me, a person can be very stupid when it comes to directions: take it from one who knows.) In either case, let me know if it's impossible for her to get lost.

I don't really intend her to be lost for long, anyone could come up during the night to rescue her, perhaps unintentionally. I just wanted to give her a little scare.

[Thinlómien]

Hey, this is looking excellent. Welcome, Eönwë and Gwath!

Just to let everybody know, I will write at least one post for Modtryth before the next day, she has to have the debate with Stigend she promised she'd have. I know Noggie's quite busy, so if that is a real problem, we can always co-write so that I do most of the job, or we can write a little and then the discussion can be interrupted and continued later. Modtryth is quite a determined person, so she won't leave starting the discussion at all unless something serious happens... but of course that is a possibility too...

And Lhuna - no, you're not too subtle, I think I have a clue at least...

I've talked with Celuien and she reminded me that she has done proper character descriptions for her characters for the Abduction RPG (and I know where they can be found). Now, should we just use these, or should I shorten them to fit the other character descriptions (Celuien said I can do this if I wish)? Opinions?

[Groin Redbeard]

At last we are beginning to get some new characters. Eönwë and Gwathagor, I'm glad to see that you joined!

I'll do one more post for the night before Erbrand lays down to sleep, unless everyone has to be awakened to to look for Ginna.

[littlemanpoet]

Well, Eodwine and Rowenna are awake, so they could look for Ginna. Or not, being somewhat preoccupied, if you know what I mean....

Lommy, your co-write post with Noggie can be inserted wherever it's most appropriate, so no need to rush it.

Lommy

There's no need to re-write Celuien's character bios. I copied them over to this thread and linked them into the Players/Characters list.

I know - I was merely thinking that I won't be able to write any further posts if I don't know what's happened before it.

Pio - great!

[Nogrod]

Feeling guilty all the time... but my timetables just would demand 36-hour days just to get all the things done I need to do without these...

But late next week I'm hopefully done with a lot of stuff that keep me occupied right now (mainly exams & choir rehearsals). This is looking good indeed once again and I'm more than willing to come into the fray.

Just go on Lommy. I guess Stigend will have a rough time...

[littlemanpoet]

So sorry Eonwe.

Just want to point out so that it's clear to everybody: Rowenna as she is currently constituted is not good for Eodwine. She'll only become good for him if and when she changes in character from being self-serving to caring about others. She may be a long way from it, if she ever gets there at all. That doesn't mean that Eodwine won't get tangled up with her. There are too many things he likes about her, and too many things about which he grieves (that she suddenly has to do with) for him to have quite a clear head about her. All that to help understand the post I'm about to write.

[piosenniel]

So, Lhunardawen -

I edited your bio for Ginna to indicate her hair color as blond. :-)

*big grin* That made my day, Elempi.

Thanks, Pio! *smile*

[Finduilas]

Folwren asked me to explain why she hasn't been here lately. She's been lying around with the chicken pox, feeling horrible(and looking horrible, too). We hope she is on the last leg though, and she will, hopefully, be back soon.

Oh, dear. Hope she gets well soon enough, and she won't be left with too many scars. Thanks for the info, Finduilas.

[Eönwë]

Get well soon Folwren.

Oooh! I wonder what Ginna will say when a strange short person from a faraway land comes up to her (Thats my character, by the way).

Shucks, Findy, I thought maybe you were volunteering to join.

Eonwe, you might want to PM Lhuna to ask her to post. She's been struggling to find time and a good reminder might help her.

[Folwren]

It cracks me up that Findy offers an explanation for my absence the very day that I make it out of sick bay instead of before hand...

Anyway, I made it back to the Barrow Downs yesterday evening and have practically caught up on the Mead Hall thread. It's looking very, very interesting, everybody.

[Folwren]

I love it, Lhuna! As casually as she could, she ran off! Very funny choice of words. Oh dear...forgive me for laughing...I've laughed easily all day.

I'm not shy, Elempi, just busy and with nothing pressing to write.

-- Foley

[Thinlómien]

Why do I have to be so busy this week? Why have I made myself so busy this week? Anyway, I'll try to write and if I just don't have time, then I have to write post later and it must be moved to its proper place... Anyway, great to see this hall so active.

[Eönwë]

I'm sorry for that not-very-good post, but what else could Dan do?

[littlemanpoet]

What a hilarious pair of posts!

Now Lhuna will have to post yet again!

Groin, there's always the latrine to visit in the night, and who knows whom one might meet? Or just wait if you prefer.

[Groin Redbeard]

Very nice posts Eönwë and Lhuna, so much action and it still isn't day yet.

If the urging to post comes too strong I'll see if Erbrand can find it. Thanks LMP.

[Gwathagor]

Ok, well, I'm leaning away from moving my elf over from the Golden Perch and trying out somebody more ordinary. Is there a need for any particular kind of character, any particular occupation currently? If not, I am leaning towards creating a warrior-bard, or perhaps a hunter.

[Folwren]

Eodwine is planning on building a mead hall of stone and we have no mason in our midsts. So...if that appeals to you, that's something that we need. But you can create any sort of character you like.

[Eönwë]

Well, you know, Dan can do a bit (but he is more into carving and such-alike)

[Folwren]

Okay. That's neat. I did not read his bio, I'm sorry to say (I was sick at the time of it's posting, I think...? sick or gone), so I missed that. But a real mason would still be superb, especially since we're making an entire hall.

But I need to be quiet before I say something offensive and stick my foot in my mouth.

-- Folwren

[Groin Redbeard]

Very nice posts, LMP and Lhuna! I just hope that Rowena doesn't take her frusteration out on the newcomers at the hall.

I was wondering when you would show up. Your hunter would be a welcomed help to Erbrand. He usually catches his prey with snares and that kind of stuff, but your hunters bow would be apreciated.

The mason is also a good job to have, so either way you go you're welcomed here.

[littlemanpoet]

Feanor of the Peredhil, known hereabouts as "Fea", having departed from the Downs ("It's time."), has happily agreed to leave the character Saeryn in the capable hands of Folwren, who will begin writing her character as soon as she is ready. Of course, a character sketch will be coming from Foley soon, with which I'm happy to help if asked. I don't know if Fea ever fully fleshed such a thing out, but much can be garnered from the old EOH thread.

Hmm..... I wonder why Foley wants to write Saeryn? Could it have something to do with Rowenna? (rhetorical question)

[Lhunardawen]

It's a pity I never got a chance to write with Fea for the Hall. But I'm glad someone will continue for Saeryn, I really miss reading a post about her, and I'd love for she and Ginna to meet.

[Lhunardawen]

Eönwë, you left your siggie in your last post.

[Eönwë]

Ok, I've finished, don't wait for me.

I'm sorry, I sorted it out now though. Thanks for reminding me.

[littlemanpoet]

Sure am glad this is back. Wonder what happened. Anyway, anybody who wishes may begin the new Day - or I will add to my last post if I beat everybody to the punch.

[Eönwë]

My character travels for miles and miles to get here and the best Erbrand can do is just ignore him? Humph! (even though if I was any other character but Dan, I would do the same)

[Folwren]

Are people going to start hauling stones and stuff from the scars? Or at least begin quarrying them? What are the plans? How big of stones? How are we transporting them?

[littlemanpoet]

Hold your horses, Foley! I'm planning a post soon in which Eodwine lays out the activities to be accomplished for the day. Building the new hall is at least a week of game time away yet. There are more tents to raise, a smithy to build, and a latrine to repair, for starters. With no planting having been done on old Sorn's land, there's no crop to be tended or harvested, so hunting will be in order, and that might be tough. So there' plenty to do, and plenty of delays before stone-hauling comes into the picture. And let's not forget a humble party to well-wish Falco on his way back to the Shire.
