Gwath, Ulfast wants to find Jord, and Jord no doubt wants to work her wiles on both brothers, so if you want to do an insidious type post, I think it would be appropriate; then Foley would have something very useful to work with when she posts.

given that LMP is winding up his RPG involvement and Folwren has plenty of stuff going on to state what further posting if any we envisage to complete our character's story? It mighty provide a bit of framework for the endgame.

For example Tathren on a personal level is going to have to dispose of Lachrandir's body (funeral pyre), hand over the cash (if that has happened I missed it), and make his way home to face Caranthir.

Would the Ulfings be sophisticated enough to demand a sort of inquest in to Lachrandir's death or would it be - he's dead, these things happen?

Any other suggestions of what he might need to do or that others need him to do, gratefully received.

I left it to Nogs to decide if those poor benighted Borrim lovers are going to live or die...and they're still blundering around the forest weeks later...

Mithalwen · 06-10-2008, 11:26 AM

Tsk, tsk..these people who don't post for ages...

So you are Schrödinger's cat? Tricksy.....

I'm still around and waiting for someone to do something so that I can post again. I've asked Gwathagor to post for Jord and he said he would, and still intends to according to word I've had but he's gotten distracted (as has Nogrod) by a certain Dueling Wizards werewolf game. So we can either pester the heck out of them or wait until the deuced game is over (in about 10 days or so). I haven't been pestering in regard to this because it feels like it's winding down anyway, and I have rather intense involvement (yes, still) in 2 other rpgs one of which has reached its dyscatastrophe and now is ratcheting up toward its eucatastrophe (if we are capable).

As to an inquest, I think the Ulfings are sophisticated enough to go through some sort of basic inquest for the sake of at least the appearance of justice; after all, Lord Caranthir could come calling asking for an explanation before the battle begins, and the Ulfings will not want to be without an answer. Of course, I don't care to see that get drawn out into some months long posting chore...

I'm sorry that DW II has distracted me from this RPG (not that I'm very good about posting regularly anyway...)

. I'll do my best to post real soon.

One of these days I will learn what those words mean...

It was because it is so near the end that I thought we could discuss what we felt was needed to do in the few posts that remain with the aim of simplifying rather than complicating.

The inquest need not be a chore for anyone particularly, it could be as little as a reference in the funeral post - " inquiries had been made but it seemed the exact circumstancees of Lachrandir's death would remain a mystery" (depened on what happens to the Borrim - eg if they die and their bodies are found they would be recognised as the people who had spoken to L. It certainly doesn't need to be played out.

Okay, that sounds better. All there needs to be for my posting is for Jord and Ulfast to connect with appropriate ramifications, including Jord finding out about Thorn and wanting to influence both Ulfast and Uldor in regard to Thorn. Then there needs to be an "interview" between Uldor/Ulfast/Jord and Thorn, and then Thorn gets killed.
