Sweetness. Everyone is rallying up. That's great.
Lommy is probably around somewhere on the Downs, but I don't know if she checks this regularly or not. I'd PM her if I were you to let her know you needed her. I do not know when I will be able to post next. I'll try really hard to do it in the near future, but I have lots of things due today and Monday plus a wedding this weekend, which means rehearsal, dinner, wedding, and reception.  It'll be crazy.-- Foley

I know I said I will be posting this weekend, and it's already weekend for me, but it's been a really tough week. Two of my professors back in undergrad passed away (within 36 hours of each other), one of them was caught in a crossfire (EDIT: "crossfire" was the press release, but many - including me - believe that it was a case of mistaken identity) while doing field work and the other had hepatocellular carcinoma.
I never imagined how much this will affect us who have already graduated and haven't seen them for a long time, but somehow it still hurts a lot. It's been hard for me to focus on studying, which is not good considering I have an exam on Monday. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm making excuses. I'll try to post as soon as I am able, hopefully within the week. Last edited by Lhunardawen; 11-20-2010 at 09:46 AM. |

It's okay, Lhuna. We understand. I'm sorry to hear about the deaths of your professors. Don't worry about this RPG until you're ready to think about it again.
 Good luck on your exam.-- Foley

The real life has really thrown me here and there 24/7 for the last week (or two) but it should be over in two days or so.
Feel free to ride towards Tancred's estate in the meantime... if you wish. I'll try to come up with a post later this week with what lord Athanar is thinking about the visit - and what we might possibly expect from Tancred. It will be up to lmp to then deliver what Tancred will say and do, and if I read the signs right, he might have a surprise or two to us... Looking forwards to it! But anyway, keep up the discussions in Scarburg and on the road between the soldiers.

I will tonight, probably, Nogrod. It's just I've been so insanely busy lately it's not even funny...
-- Foley EDIT: I got a post up for the soldiers. Mnemosyne, I aim to post for Saeryn tonight or tomorrow. I'm about to head back to class and Saeryn's post is going to be more difficult for me to write. So sorry it's taking me so long.

Mnemosyne,
I posted something...it's not much and it may not be enough for you to go on. If it's not, let me know and we should decide what we want this tour to cover and what needs to be said. -- Foley

Thanks, Foley. I've been pretty much completely out of it/out of the loop for the past week, but things should start turning 'round in the next couple of days. (For proof of this, look at the time of this post and consider that I'm on EST.) Unfortunately, even though Wynflaed's really good at taking control of a situation and moving it forward, I'm not, and I'm not nearly familiar enough with the Meadhall or roleplaying in general to have a clear idea of where to go from here. So if we could work on something together I'd appreciate it.

Yeah so I couldn't resist bringing Falco Boffin back. I need enough characters to keep me busy when the going gets slow on the thread. What can I say?

You could say, "You're welcome."
I'm so excited! When I read your post, I exclaimed, "He brought Falco back!!" And my little sister laughed at me. Firefoot, should you post about Leof seeing him, or can I post something for Quin? -- Foley

I was going to post for Leof, but if you get to it first Quin can spot him.

K, sounds fine. I don't think I'll be able to post today - have a pretty busy work load here at work today. So whoever posts first does so, how's that?

Nogrod, if you're anywhere nearby, you may want to check the thread. It looks like your line of soldiers might be disintegrating. I haven't decided what to do with my soldiers....

Indeed so... and I have decided it's the time for me to post again, I've been neglecting it lately, so... I think Hilderinc is surprised enough by the Hobbit that in his immediate reaction he totally forgot about the order, too. It needs some commander to intervene, I'd say. But if somebody (especially from the "old Scarburgians" - or in the really dramatic case, maybe even Léof or Falco himself could hear him) wants to sort of explain to Hilderinc what is Falco doing there, I think they can do it now or later on the way, too.

I just love to wreak havoc by introducing new characters, plot developments, you name it.
Oh, and you're welcome. Glad to oblige. Let's see, are there other characters I could create just to satisfy my own personal whims? Just kidding. Eodwine, Harreld, Garreth, Falco, (and don't forget Rowenna), are plenty.  Great posts, Firefox & Legate ... and a touching one by Lhuna. Last edited by littlemanpoet; 12-11-2010 at 08:18 AM. |

Hullo, folks. Who's around to post? I could post for Javan at the Mead hall and have him spot Falco trotting in, if you all would like...?

Yes, the boys can spot him, Nogrod. I'll put them in my post, too, if that's okay with you.
EDIT: I posted. Let me know if everything is okay. I feel like I'm domineering that page in the Mead Hall thread, so I'm retiring for a bit until some others have posted. *coughhintcough*

Hint taken...
Well as soon as we get from this Christmas I'll be posting once again (I have holidays!!!). The last week has been just preparing and then celebrating Christmas... But it's good we have these "two fronts" to write about so there should be something to do to each and everyone of us.

I have posted for Tancred. I hope he is as disgusting and unlikeable as I have been told he should be.
Maybe I'll post for Falco next. And if it just so happens that I have three posts in a row because nobody else is writing, who knows? Maybe it'll wind up being four in a row - or five, or six, who knows? But by all means, if someone else wants to post something, I'm eager to read and interact.

Although it may be we're actually facing Faramund here and not Tancred... But I've PM'd lmp on that. I have Lommy, Greenie & Legate over for the New Year but should be posting then... *getting nice ideas already*

Lookin' good! Elempi, your character made me cringe, he was so horribly evil.
I'll try to post for Saeryn tomorrow (or should I say later today?). Your post looks fine, Mnemosyne. -- Foley

Alrighty, I posted. I think just about anybody could post now...
Elempi and I have been talking. Before he wrote his post for the lord, we had all been talking and writing that we were riding first to Tancred's land. But as Elempi's post was more fitting with Faramund's character than Tancred's, he went ahead and changed to Faramund. That means, anyone who wrote in the game thread that we were going first to Tancred's holding needs to change it to Faramund. I know I did it at least once, so I'm going back now and checking all my posts and changing them. I also wanted to mention to Lommy, if you haven't read it, there was a post put up by Mnemosyne that was a post written by both she and I not long ago, that you may want to read, as it has to do with Modtryth in an indirrect way. That is to say, it has to do with her, but Modtryth won't actually know about it. I guess we can post about arriving at Faramund's hall now? Nogrod, Legate, Firefoot, Durelin, are you about and ready for this? Hope you all have a happy New Years. -- Folwren

I'm here and more or less able to post. Faramund seems... delightful.
I haven't been exactly sure where to go from here, since I don't imagine Leof having a very central part in the proceedings, but I'll see what I can do.

I've posted for Faramund, with enough description of how Faramund's forces will display themselves for anyone who wants to post next. Of course, there's still action back at Scarburg with Falco and company that could also be developed.

Class time, gotta run. -- Foley

Old graybeard, is it? Interesting. Wiglaf has aged years in between just a couple posts. Faramund's powers of destruction must really be something else!
Old graybeard's fine with me as I didn't name an age, though I was thinking of someone not quite so .... um ..... gray.

I posted for Athanar and Faramund. Let me know lmp if I made Faramund too much a loser in there. Half of me says that I did, and half of me says that was just what he is...
