Finally posted, sorry it took me so long...hope it's alright Foley that I basically wrapped up their meeting (still left it for you to respond to finish it of course). Let me know if you wanted them to talk more. Or we can always start working on the next meeting, eh?

So Lithor and Scyrr were both absent from the drills -- was anyone else that I completely missed? I'm sorry I've not been on top of things at all.

Nobody else that I know of.

It's nice to see things starting going again

Folwren · 03-21-2010, 07:00 AM

Dury,

I'll look at that post, I just wanted to put my two cents in here, first....

Lommy, good job with the post. I can not remember Groin's clearly now, so I'm not precisely sure about what you changed, but I liked it.

This is looking really fun again, folks. Thanks so much for bringing it back to life.

ok I am slightly confused are we all back to the same timeline again? if so we now have the soldiers in the stables who will be alerted to the commotion, Thorden and Ceon returning from the field, as well as Matrim and Adhel the healer going to find Balvir (hopefully in the stable), then W&W returning to the hall to come across Scyrr first. does this sound about right? perhaps Ginna and frodides could find Adhel???

Also Matrim was missing from drills and one soldier at least would notice

That's about how I see the situation.

But,

I think W&W should actually find Scyrr first as the story-timeline goes.

We others sure can go on posting before Lommy has time to do that as long as we just keep those three out of our posts. So we can write of things happening "now", like when everyone's back at the hall (for dinner?). Lommy can write W&W in a way which starts with the reminiscence of - or telling others - how they met Scyrr (or they can come up with something together, she and Legate).

Does that sound okay? Or understandable in the first place...

Also Nerindel: let me know when your characters are willing to take their places at lord Athanar's table eg. when he should introduce their real status to others in the MH (like this day or maybe the next, or...). Or if you think they will not do it in the near future, let me also know that.

Folwren · 03-23-2010, 09:23 PM

Ooooh, now I'm all excited and I want to post again! But I don't know what to post, and I don't know how to post it... So I'm going to do a lot of reading and hopefully post something during this spring break! I can't wait!

Nogrod, I know you're busy, but d'ye think we can get something together for Javan and the old man? (I forget his name at present.) I'd love to.

And I need to post for Saeryn in regards to Erbrand's departure and Scyrr and all that jolly stuff....plus Thornden is coming back. Except, Thornden comes back well after Erbrand has left, so I'm really quite confused on all this.

Oh, oh, by the way - what happened with Erbrand and Scyrr probably did not end until about half way through drills. As I see it, Lithor had gone out with the men, but was sent back because his horse had a pebble in his foot and the others thought he was lamed...which means, our timing is not all that far off.

Oh, and another thought, but this more directed towards Lommy - Your two willians said that they were going to make sure their sister is alright, seeing as their father wasn't doing such a great job (or that was the jist of it). Does that mean that Javan is in some sort of danger?

I'm awaiting anxiously to see what exactly you meant, because this isn't the first time you've talked about it.

Thinlómien · 03-24-2010, 08:14 AM

Okies, I posted for the idiots/lads/brutes/guys/boys/cuties.

Hooks for other people:

Soldiers in the stables - there was Will's brief visit. Did that cause any reaction?

People on the yard - if you have keen eyes or listen to shouting military voices, you would know there's something slightly wrong.

Rowenna - can be the woman assigned with the duty of finding the healer. But if Fea is busy and we need dialogue, it can be Modtryth too.

Aedhel - is being looked for by people, probably by Ginna and/or Frodides and also by Rowenna/Modtryth. No one is writing Ginna and Frodides right now so if they find Aedhel the post-writing is up to you, Nerindel.

Scyrr - if you Legate want to continue, Wilheard is with him now, probably not talking much though, but I don't think it's necessry to follow them right now.

Athanar - *ring ring* you're being called, sir. I think you Nogrod can decide if Wulfric's news were already delivered to Athanar by Ginna and/or Frodides or not and then it's also sort of up to you to continue the plot.

Feeling very much like organising stuff right now as you can see.

And before I forget, I talked with Kath on FB. In short, she is very busy and not returning any day soon

and Groin's post is okay with her for now, but she said: "Kara doesn't want to have married him, can tell you that much." and "If I ever come back, someone can just ask Kara about what happened and I'll just say she was so confused by what was happening she took the ring without thinking."

Mmh. I guess I'm sort of currently responsible of all the "kitchen clique", that is Kara and Frodides (Kath's characters, the cooks), Ginna (Lhuna's character, a maid) and of course Modtryth. I have nothing against the reponsibility, but it's a pity Lhuna and Kath can't be around and their characters would definitely deserve more attention than to just be random carry-alongs...

Thinlómien · 03-24-2010, 08:15 AM

PS. Foley, don't worry, I don't have any plans yet.

Folwren · 03-24-2010, 10:15 PM

Okay, wow. I posted. I do not like it at all, it's uber long, but I did it anyway. If it doesn't make sense, PLEASE tell me. I wrote it while I was super tired...

The end there...I figured if a pregnant lady was ever going to faint, now would be a good time. If it's ridiculous, let me know and I can take it out. I feel like it's kind of dumb, but it amused me, so I kept it.

I think I'm viewing the timeline like this:

The trials end

While Coenred and the men at arms go out and start their drills:

Lithor goes out with men-at-arms.
Javan apologizes
Saeryn and Athanar finish their discussion
Matrim and Balvir give their message to Adhel.
Erbrand works on his tanning stuff.
The two W's are riding.

The drills continue while:

Saeryn goes to her room.
Javan finds Raban, the other kids do what ever.
Adhel and Matrim go to speak with Athanar.
Scyrr and Erbrand fight.
Lithor fakes the lamed horse and starts to bring him back.

The drills continue......while:

Adhel and Matirm leave Athanar.
Erbrand flees back to the mainhall to get his horse and leave.
He and Lithor meet, they talk, they plan, they pack. . .they leave.

The drills end probably not long after Erbrand and Lithor leave the settlement.
Scyrr is dragged back to the courtyard while the men are returning from drill (that means he is dumped somewhere not in the middle of the courtyard, otherwise, everyone would notice - it's more like on the edge, isn't it? By the kitchen?)
The two W's return...

And I think that's where we are, right?

I believe a lot of time can actually pass between the trials and when Erbrand and Scyrr fight, because Erbrand was working for some time before Scyrr even comes near.

I may not be remembering things right, plus I know I am not thinking very clearly anyway, so correct me if I'm wrong. What I wrote above is my impression of how the time is working out....this way, everyone can be back where they need to be and we have no confusion of time, no bouncing back and forth.

-- Foley

Folwren · 03-26-2010, 04:28 PM

What happened, did I scare everyone away with my post?

Please say something, someone! I'm lonely. Plus, I'm excited about how things could continue.

-- Foley

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-27-2010, 05:25 AM

Don't worry, don't worry!

I, for instance, haven't read your post yet, as I want to have proper peace for that and as I am sure it will make me want to post (I want to post anyway, for Hilderinc in the stables for instance), I want to be sure I have time after I read it - and I had a lot of stuff for school to do now. So just wait a while, hopefully tomorrow will do it for me

Oh, aside from that, only one thing. As I assume Scyrr would have wanted to participate in the drills (well, not wanted, but he was supposed to!), I actually thought that the encounter with Erbrand happened earlier, something like the soldiers were about to leave in a minute, Scyrr left to the stream, sort of hoping he won't be late or not too late, and then he got sort of stuck... But I guess we can sort of "hush up" the logic of the timeline and leave it be

Folwren · 04-13-2010, 01:24 PM

Kara! Oh! that is SO not fair. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to it. I think that even though Erbrand was completely mistaken about Thornden being interested with Kara, I think he will still protect her like a sister. Therefore...if Scyrr does anything to her, he'd better watch out. This'll be fun.

-- Foley

Durelin · 04-13-2010, 01:36 PM

I posted, and I hope it makes sense.

If Wulfric would like to be included, feel free to have him speak up...Coen doesn't really know how to handle the boys. Their boys, so he should be able to just order them around, but they're his lord's sons...so he tends to just leave them out of things.

Not sure what you had in mind for him, if anything, Lommy

Folwren - Let me know if you object to Coen taking the lead there. Also feel free to have Thornden object to his plan.

Nog - Is Athanar a sportsman? Would he have brought dogs with him?
