Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread

There has been very little interaction among the people outside the "nobles' council" this far, and no real conflicts yet because the questions and controversions did not arise yet: for instance, the soldiers and the common people overall do not know yet with whom the authority formally lies (one of the things Hilderinc will probably be thinking about, probably in the following post, when it comes to maintaining discipline here). We don't need outright mean characters to stir up trouble. I think there will be far, far much more that can go wrong in the following days. Also, the new characters have unveiled this far only little of their personality (logically, having been around for so short). So who knows what can still happen.

Well, Legate, even if the trouble is unrest due to a new command doesn't mean that a trully bad apple wouldn't be accepted to make things even MORE interesting. I understand the trouble we're soon going to be running into, and that's one reason I'm not going to immediately take up a troublemaking character (beyond Javan, who, I think, is beginning to have some redeemable qualities about him...he will trully be sorry if/when he causes trouble, because he's learned to be ashamed of himself, especially now that Eodwine is gone). (Maybe it's because of Javan's reformation that I feel I need a new bad character. )

So, as I said, I'll wait a little while until things cool off, the dust settles, and I'm able to see if we still need stirring up. We may easily not need it.

I second Legate's comment - Groin, your post was great.

Oh, but surely. Although, even if there is not, some might "find" it somewhere... *points to own post*

I don't know what Lithor is like generally, but there hardly could have been a different reaction from Hilderinc.

As for what now, I am basically done with this aspect, it seems: I don't know what others are planning, but could we perhaps slowly move towards the next stage, i.e. things are unloaded, now some meal or something? Of course, anybody can still approach Hilderinc if there is something momentary (or if perhaps any of the guys he's been talking to wants to engage and continue in a dialogue with him). I just don't have any ideas right now where to sent him or to put him. Also, maybe Coen will be coming this way soon to check if the things went all right? Whatever. Just letting people know that I am basically free of duties now, it seems.

Ha! Foley, shall we ruin the whole place? Javan, Cnebba and Garmund, Wulfric and Wilheard and some troublemaker new arrival? Sounds promising!

In other words, I'm off to write a post. <3

Dang boy! That Hildernic is a tough nut to crack. Never fear, Lithor won't give up that easy. Also, if you need to know what he's like, Legate, simply check out his bio (I don't know if you've done that yet). Is Hildernic done speaking to the gang then? If not, would it be alright with Nogrod if I introduced some of his characters, Stigend and Harreld (you did take over for him right) to the soldiers?

P.S. What does <3 mean? I am not big on abbreviations.

It's a heart - doesn't it look like one if you look more closely?

And my post seems to become megalomaniac, but I wanted to post for all my characters... (Cnebba included)

Ha, looking forward to it And as for Lithor, I have checked his bio (a few times already ), though of course it does not show how he acts in particular situations. But it does not matter, I didn't mean that I need to know that, Hilderinc is going to know him only from the way he interacts with him.

And as for Hilderinc, yes, he is done, like I said. He is open either to somebody continuing the discussion with him, or if nobody wants, somebody else can take him, or anything. "Free for grabbing".

Foley, Nienna, Nog - I hope what I wrote about the boys is ok. If not, I can change. Nienna, you can continue it from there: I assume Aedre would notice her stuff being mishandled.

And as usual, those whose characters I used (Kath, Lhuna, Eönwë, feel free to comment if changes are needed. (Not that any of you seems to be around... mwa ha ha. )

[Nogrod]

I've been playing werewolf... Sorry...

But will go to the thread right now and write an ending to the "counsel".

And as I said in my last post here - I think - the next thing should be the banquet where people would have more chances to meddle with each other in different surroundings, with the power of some ale if not otherwise. But you might wish to fill in any meetings that are somehow in the middle of going somewhere before it?

The main thing plotwise would be that lord Athanar would speak there and make a few announcements concerning the Mead Hall - and the people would react to that.

Anyone can start writing the banquet when it feels like the time for it - let's say from Friday onwards? Thus people would have time to end their discussions & meetings with others before the banquet. Just don't write it into the late hours (gametime) before lord Athanar speaks...


PS. lord Athanar would not open the party by a speech but would speak during the first hours of it anyway.

[Thinlómien]

Sounds cool, Nogrod.

Btw, in case it's unclear, Modtryth will soon be helping with the unloading but I think I'll have to send her off somewhere so that she won't be there to see Cnebba getting in trouble an ruining it by interfering. Anyway, feel free to interact with her.
