A good idea, I think.

I will protest loudly if Nogrod says something about Cnebba that I disagree with. So, if I'm not protesting, you may take his word for it.

And lastly, why is everybody so baffled about the recent Rowenna? Didn't we all always know that she was just a wounded child inside?

(And yes I'm really serious despite that smiley...

Psychology has never been one of my strong points.

I'll get a post up for Erbrand today. Should we leave the horses on that side of the Scar, or should someone who isn't racing take them back?

Nogrod · 09-12-2008, 02:24 PM

That was good indeed Gwath! Like some chamber music...

I loved the mood there.

This Crabannan-fellow is becoming one of my favourites step by step...

Btw. I finally read myself up to date... The post of Saeryn and Rowenna was a masterpiece! You two are developing this mutual-posting into an art form lmp & Foley!

Gwathagor · 09-12-2008, 02:25 PM

I've taken mine back, Groin.

Oh, err...I mean Crabannan has taken his horse back.

I think I'm having identity issues. RL has never been one of my strong points.

Gwathagor · 09-12-2008, 02:28 PM

Well, thanks, Nogrod. I like him, too.

Wow, I can't even put a sentence together.

Folwren · 09-21-2008, 08:35 PM

I have no problem with doing the three legged race next, but after such a long run, won't half of our contestants be worn out? I suggest we do archery next, as it does not take speed.

But...if the archery range is somewhere far away from where they are now, and this is the running ground, then it would be most logical if they just let people get their breath back and then ran the three legged race.

Folwren · 09-26-2008, 12:12 PM

Hey, all...I was kind of hoping to post today or tomorrow or Sunday or sometime soon, but we had an unexpected arrival last night. I have a new baby nephew, 7 weeks earlier than expected, and although I won't be seeing him for a while (he's in the hospital two hours away), I will be having to help my Mom and possibly my sister-in-law as we watch my older nephew and we try to juggle things. When I'm not cleaning or running after the munchkin or doing something like that, I'll probably have to study. So...I'm sorry...but that's the scoop.

Putting family first again.

Ridiculous.

littlemanpoet · 10-01-2008, 09:35 AM

I need to know the pairings for the three legged race.

Degas/Leodhern
Eodwine/Rowenna

Who else?

Kath · 10-01-2008, 09:36 AM

Kara/Erbrand

Garstan/Stigend
Garmund/Cnebba

I had some preliminary thoughts on them in my post #874

Cnebba and Garmund will be an interesting pair. They are agile and if they get it right they might be the ones to beat! But there should be something like a roll for their succeeding to co-operate. I'm not talking so much a mental thing as that I think they could do at the moment of competition but a physical one - like if they get the rhythm and understand it, that they are able to pull it off together.

Also the fact of fathers running against their sons might open nice possibilities: like daddies letting the kids win them at the last meters if there was such a situation; the kids trying to take advantage of their fathers' possible fumble

It's up to you lmp as those are just few possibilities among many.

Groin Redbeard · 09-12-2008, 04:44 PM

Yay, you got a post up, Gwathagor, and I agree with Nogrod it was masterfully done.

I'll get mine up soon!

Groin Redbeard · 09-14-2008, 04:29 PM

Is Javan participating in the boys run? I didn't see him on the list, but I just wanted to make sure that Folwren hadn't changed her mind.

Folwren · 09-14-2008, 06:24 PM

Oh...yeah...I guess I never really officially said that, but you all convinced me and a few posts ago I gave Elempi a description of him.
