Harrenon's fine, Dimturiel. I'm glad I'm making the pompous d-bag personality come out well enough, and he picked up on Branor's lovable...enthusiasm? But honestly it's only going to get worse, and I would be surprised if Branor makes it through the day without someone (whether it be a troupe member or a NPC person from the Rohirric Unicorn) socking him in the face.

Well then- I'd say we're going to be mighty ticked at you when we find out that you've known about "Merry the Hobbit" all along, seeing as due to a couple of misunderstandings from sources in our play he has been replaced with "Mary the Elf".

I can just imagine Brinn or Branor bellowing, "Why have you never corrected us?!!"

And killed off, as of my last post. You see, we weren't sure exactly what had become of the "real" Mary the Elf anyway, and Asta needed to be free to do her puppetry later in the play, and we thought the action was flagging at that point...

...What point? I haven't specified, but we probably do need to decide that pretty soon. I doubt very much if Mary makes it as far as the Pelennor. I mean, what need to have two people involved in killing the Lord of the Nazgûl? How undramatic.

phantom, if you're willing to take the trouble of being our Keeper of Consistency, power to you; I think we're going to need something like this the more the game progresses.
(Oh, and are we going to treat Gimli as a minor comic role? "Nobody tosses a Dorvinian!"

I was planning on doing this last night, but couldn't bring myself to think in great detail with the exhausting day. But will write the post now.

Amdir will inform Branor the hobbit in the Rohirric Unicorn is Master Sam. At Branor's complete shock to discover this is Sam of the War of the Ring, he goes to chat with the hobbit. And then will head back to tell the news to Brinn immediately.

I think I've got a nice idea for when Branor tells Sam, when in fact Sam was supposed to die.

Vëandur volunteers.

I find myself extremely busy, but I'm looking at scenarios in which Vëandur could cause a little drama. I'm thinking that he could meet Aldarion during the troupe's down time (possibly in a tavern). They could start talking about their backgrounds, and Vëandur might want to talk Aldarion out of his acting career?
