By the time Jord finds anything out about Thorn through Uldor, she won't have to do anything about him. Uldor will have taken care of all the details.

I thought Thorn was my character's duty to dispose of?

[Gwathagor]

Ok. Well, the main problem with Thorn is that he might tell Uldor about Jord's evil badness. Perhaps Jord should take care of this problem by convincing Uldor that Thorn is lying and needs to die. That has potential - gives Jord a chance to flex her manipulative muscles and show that she has more than one way of disposing of her foes. What do you think, LMP?

All right, I'll fess up. I was getting impatient - again! - with the pace of this rpg so I hatched a plan to Gwath to have Jord kill off Thorn, the only problem being how Jord was to find out who Thorn was and what he's been up to. What ever way this turns out, let's make it interesting! JOrd should manipulate Uldor - and Ulfast too. It's part of the set up.

Gwathagor, I hope you don't misunderstand me, I meant nothing but compliments with regard to the bathos.

I meant it as the first of pio's definitions, and when used deliberately, it is very funny. It is a fine literary device and some of the world's best writers such as Alexander Pope and Cervantes have used it to great effect.

[Gwathagor]

That's OK, that's what I figured.

[Mithalwen]

I just wanted to say sorry.

I never meant to abandon this and I do realise I must look like I had a terrible sulk but I work for an agency and in the Autumn I took on what I thought would be an easy two month assignment but turned into six incredibly demanding months (went in as assistant and ended up covering for the Financial controller from the new year, with a myriad of issues ) and usually 2 to 3 hour a day in the car. And then there were various illnesses and accidents ... I know I have been around the downs but I just haven't been able to do anything that requires much concentration and I just seem to have lost any creativity I ever had.
And it got to the point I was so embarassed that I couldn't even look at the thread...

Anyway I don't expect or deserve forgiveness and obviously you can do as you will with my abandoned child though if it helps he would have been extremely affected the death of Lachrandir who was a kind of father figure to him, and I always expected he would wind up as one of the many dead of the Nirnaeth should you do an epilogue.

[Folwren]

Mith! Your apology is of course very, very muchly accepted! I'm sorry to hear life has been so insanely busy for you. 3 hours in the car a day would be the worst part of it for me. I hope things calm down for you and you'll be able to sit back someday and join another RPG and really get to participate.

Thank you for your input on how Tathren would take this tragedy. If you wish to write for him until he leaves the game, then I would be so, so happy.
