I guess so. I can work that. Right now, he's just wondering which is the best for himself - the elves or Morgoth?

I can post for Ulfast and for Thorn early this week, maybe yet tonight. Then Gwath can post Thorn's death by Jord's hand (no doubt). And then things can wrap up as Foley suggested. Sound good?

Gosh, would Jord really want to kill Thorn when Uldor already has torture in mind?

Can Jord control herself enough not to commit the deed, especially when she can rationalize that her version of killing is a most exquisite torture?

And nobody said she had to do it fast.

I guess Gwath's the only one who can answer that question. If I were writing an evil character (which I am), I'd leave Thorn to the torturer's (which I did).

So what's next here? Does someone need to narrate the end of Thorn and get the wagons of war rolling?

Gwathagor · 08-14-2008, 09:38 PM

Finishing Thorn is a job for either you Folwren, I'd say.

I'll help out with them wagons o' war.

I take it you meant, "either me, OR Folwren, right? If so, I don't quite agree. Gwath, you're a full player in this now, so your ideas would be helpful too. So do you have any suggestions as to what would be the best way to proceed, Gwath or Foley?

Gwathagor · 08-16-2008, 11:17 AM

Ah. Yes, that is what I meant. As to the ideas...I'll ponder it.

littlemanpoet · 08-23-2008, 12:44 PM

The plot is hereby twisted one last time. Gwath, I suppose it's your turn.

Folwren · 08-23-2008, 01:27 PM

Good! I'm glad somebody's doing that. I've been wanting to do it the whole game!

Folwren · 08-25-2008, 08:45 PM

Ah, Elempi! You almost made me cry. If I could rep you, I would...

Thank you.

And now for the final posts - I did some research and find no record in Tolkien whether Uldor or Ulfast or both survive the Battle and rule in Dorthonion, although I see that Brodda did. So we can have it that either one kills the other, or both kill each other, or neither, before the treason. Which way shall we go with it?

And Tathren has to appear before Caranthir; after that, I think this is concluded.

I have edited my last post, securing the end of Ulfast's life into the bargain. This goes as some kind of odd accomplishment, for I have succeeded in killing off all three of my characters.
